BE A VALUE ADDED WOMAN
To make you understand what I mean by you being a value added woman, let’s look at the story of Rachel in the Bible (Genesis 29:9-12, 18, 20, 23, 25 and 27).
9While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherd. 10When Jacob saw Rachel, daughter of his uncle, Laban, and Laban’s sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.11Then, Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud. 12He told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and son of Rebekah. So she ran and told her father. 18Jacob was in love with Rachel and said ‘I will work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel. 20So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seem like only a few days to him because of his love for her. 23But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob… 25When morning came, there was Leah so Jacob said to Laban, ‘What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel. Didn’t I? Why have you deceived me? 27Finish this daughter’s bridal week; then, we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work. 28Jacob did so…..
I encourage you to read the complete the story in Genesis 29:9- 35, and 30:1-22).
What do you think will make a man to want to serve his 7 + 7 years just to have you as his own? Could it be beauty? Big butts? Well polished face? Big breast? Charming voice? Or what could it be?
Beauty only attracts a man but character keeps a good man. Beauty is subjective and lies in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty can make you dine and wine with kings and queens but what determines if you will go back there next time is character and potentials.
If you truly want to attract a great person to your life, you must add value, evident and long lasting value to their lives. You must unleash your potentials and show a good man how he can benefit from you aside s*x, and good looks (and vice versa).
After reading that story you might think that Jacob fell for Rachel because of her beauty, NO. Rachel was beautiful, yes, and had elder brothers and her sister Leah, yet she was the one shepherding their father’s sheep while the rest of the elders relaxed and had good times at home. This is to tell you how industrious Rachel was and so Jacob saw her as a great addition to his life.
A man is attracted by beauty at first side but what keeps your relationship/marriage is value. When we talk about value it is not only financial aid though it is very important, we talk about what you bring to the table that can contribute to the growth and glow of your relationship. Does whatever counsel that you give to your partner of help and profitable to them? If your partner has a raw idea can you contribute significantly to it to see that it matures and materializes? If you always give good counsel to your partner, and it helps shape them better, there is no way your partner will let you go.
Young lady stop coloring and filling like 5 different foundations on your face to get a man. Such attractions will last only for a while and if you are not fully equipped inside and upstairs, he will still leave you.
Instead of moving about from friend X to Z, from aunt Y to Z during your holidays and leisure times, learn a trade. Smart women learn how to saw, decorate, shave, plait, and learn something that can stand as a backup in case things backfire in your marriage tomorrow.
Rachel was a shepherd, a profession that we mostly see but men do it. She stood out, she was different. What about you? What are you doing differently that can attract a man to you and cause him to die thank not to have you?
If you do not add value to a man’s life, he will hardly respect you. Adding value makes you in control. No wonder in some homes, it seems like the wife is using but charm on the husband. This is because such women are the emotional, physical, mental, psychological backbones of their husbands.
Do not think that you will use pregnancy, child(ren), money, love, good food, good s*x, or physical attraction to tie a man down. Real men look for women who add value and glue to them like superglue. When you add value whose effect is felt positively, you are appreciated, respected and loved just the way you want it. Your man will die than that you ever leave him.
The effects of a value added wife are felt by good men (men who are God fearing and understand what marriage is all about). If you have a bad husband, no matter how much value you add to their lives, you will never be appreciated and your efforts will keep going in vain. Mya God help you.
If you are not married yet or you are a mother with girl children, train them to start adding value to their lives now while waiting for their Jacobs.
