No woman is worthy of being a wife if, on the day of the marriage, she is not completely and totally engrossed in a state of love and flawless trust; the only thing that should be in her spirit at that moment is the relationship's utmost sanctity.
Just as men should not "obey" women, women should not "obey" men. Every successful marriage has six requirements, the first of which is faith, followed by confidence in the other five. Nothing pleases a woman more than a man putting his trust in her, and nothing flatters a guy more than a woman believing in him.
Obey? Please assist me! Yes, I would do anything in my power to grant her every request if I truly loved her. And if I didn't have complete faith that she would only strive for what was genuine, beautiful, and right, how could I love her? Her want would be a sacred command to me, and I know that she would have the same mindset toward me in order to make this ideal a reality. The desire to obey would be the only driving force in our life, and the only competition between us would be over who could love the most.
Giving it gives us freedom, and the one who gives trust receives it back with interest. In love, to haggle and make demands is to lose.
Perfect love drives out fear, and perfect faith entails perfect love. The lady always haggles over a word because she is afraid of being imposed upon and has a secret desire to control others; it is a lack of love, a limitation, or an inability. Absolute and total surrender is the cost of a perfect love.
Giving a man something for nothing usually makes him unhappy with himself.
The people you have aided are your adversaries.
And when a person is unhappy with himself, he is unhappy with you and the entire world.
When a man fights with the world, he is only fighting with himself. However, this tendency to place the blame elsewhere and claim credit for our own happiness is so strong that we blame this woman or that man when we are sad. Women specifically blame That Man for their suffering.
The problem is that he frequently gives her too much for no reason.
This is a reversible, back-action truth that is well-lubricated by use and can operate in either direction, depending on the situation.
That kind of passion that makes demands and pushes shrewd deals results in a check for the bank that has no balance.
Nothing is more expensive than receiving something for free.
