There was a man who had
many women in his life. They had come and gone, with himself at
fault most of the time. But he wouldn't give up, he continued
his self improvement and search for that special woman.
He talked with elder women about what he should do. One told him he'd never had a real woman! If so, she would still be with him, no matter what, through thick and thin, up times and down times. Well, he asked, how would he know when such a woman was in his presence. First, clean up your own act, she said. Scoop your own poop.
Rid yourself of defects of character. Make amendments to all those you have harmed in life. It takes humility to do this.Still, how will I know the real woman? The older woman answered, you will know because when she comes over your house and sees something amiss, she will take authority to correct the situation. If your house is dirty, she will immediately ask if she can clean it as a favor to you, as an act of love.
She will not want any money for her services. And she will clean your house as it has never been cleaned before because she knows what she is doing. Yes, she is a pro, not only with house cleaning but with every thing she does, including her love making. She will make sure you are satisfied and herself as well.She will demand respect and will respect you.
She will demand freedom and give you freedom. She will speak in the language of love so smooth that it will be like a razor cutting to the heart. You will be bleeding to death but not know you are cut.You will do what she suggests and do it willingly because it will not be a demand but a request said so subtle you won't recognize it for what it actually is: a demand.
And you will love doing what she requests.When you need space and time to yourself you won't need to explain, she will pick up the vibe.And you will do the same for her.She will not be jealous and envious of your talent and skills or how handsome you are to other women.
She knows she has you in her pocket because she is confident of herself, and not worried about some other woman taking her man.If you are taken by another woman, it must be the will of God that you go. She knows God will replace her emptiness with someone even better than you. But she will give you time to get a grip on yourself and find your way back home.
Just don't take too long and when you come home don't be asking about what she was doing while you were gone. A real woman will put her resources at your disposal if you are worthy of them, as the prophet Muhammad was treated by the wealthy trade woman Khadijah. There is no selfishness in love. All is for the beloved, but a wise woman ain't no fool. As the song says, the greatest thing you will ever do is love and be loved in return.The man thanked the elder woman for her wisdom and departed on his search.
