And today, we still see that so many young women dream about their wedding and their marriage and talk about it and plan it from they time they are very young.<br /><br />A hundred years ago when women were still essentially property, her husband was the most important relationship in a woman's life. He had to be because he had control over her body and her life. But it is time for all of use to get past that and move toward more healthy relationships and take better care of ourselves.<br /><br />Now granted, that I believe that women are hardwired to put more priority on relationships in general, women are still socialized to believe that the relationship with a man is the most important relationship in our lives. Thus, for many people, that means stepping away from other relationships.<br /><br />I learned, the hard way of course, that this is not a good thing. we must maintain our previous relationships and family relationships while growing new relationships. It can be difficult but in the long run, we are better off.Kim R. Alariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713677466692383965noreply@blogger.com
