In the 20th Century:
He should be your #1 priority.
In the 21st Century:
Your priorities are your choice.
For hundreds of years, a woman’s future depended on her marriage.
Picking the right husband. Encouraging his ambitions. Making him happy.
If she failed to choose wisely, she could end up in a marriage with a man who drank away his paycheck.
She could end up in a marriage with a man who scorned her or hit her.
Once married, there was no escape. She had to make the best of it.
In a world where marriage was everything, it makes sense that women were taught to make their husband their first priority.
If he wasn’t happy, no one was happy.
But that doesn’t make sense today.
Today, a woman’s future depends on her choices.
She can choose to pursue an ambitious career. She can choose to travel. She can choose how to spend the money she earns.
She can do all that without a wedding ring.
In a world where you can do anything, it makes sense that women have other priorities.
(In fact, half of single adults aren’t interested in romance. Their top reasons? They enjoy being single and they have other priorities.)
Good men WANT you to have other priorities. They don’t want to be a woman’s sole focus. It’s kind of creepy.
It’s okay if you have things that are more important to you than him. (Like your health. Or your family. Or your life mission.)
Modern relationships are about balancing priorities.
