A BEAUTIFUL COMADRE SHARED THIS WITH ME AND I HAD TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL......THIS IS A POWERFUL STORY.....

As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I cant do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the positon to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"

The man looked at her.

Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.

She quickly corrected his thought and stated,

"I am not refferring to money. " I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.

She said "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple minded man.

I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need someone unequally yoked....believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. And even if he is a believer, he needs to believe as I do.

I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden.

I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, and strong enough to keep me grounded when I do go through changes. I don't need a man who is going to purposely bring me grief.

I am looking for someone who i can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him and he must respect me.

I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business or who is "messy" in his personal affairs. I have no problem being submissive..but he has to be worthy.

God made woman to be a help mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself. If he can't help himself then he definiteley can't help me.

When she finished her spiel, she looked at him.

He sat there with a puzzled look on his face.

He said, "You are asking for a lot".

"She replied, "I'M WORTH  A LOT."
