Your Baggage. Everyone has a past, and with a past comes baggage that we may not want to carry. Even still, our past, and baggage, makes us who we are. It teaches us many life lessons, and in many ways, prepares us for bigger and better things to come. As a woman, if you can start eliminating the things that you’re still holding on to from your past that could harm a new relationship in the future; do that now. That way, when you do get into that relationship, you’ll be all the more ready for it.
Your Willingness to Support. A woman who supports her man is truly a gem. Pushing your man to higher heights and making a commitment to support his dreams is one of the many things that a relationship is about.
Your Upbringing. The way that you were raised is reflected in everything you are. Your confidence, what you treasure, what’s important to you, your loyalty, and what you are willing to tolerate are all indications of what type of upbringing you’ve had. A woman with strong values is a wonderful compliment to a worthy man.
Your Faith. It is absolutely amazing to see a woman standing firm and tall in her faith. This tells a man that this type of woman is not afraid to boast what she believes in. This also shows a woman’s strength and boldness to be transparent about her struggles. A woman full of beauty is good, but a woman full of faith and prayer is even better.
If you are single, it is understandable that you want to be in a new, refreshing, and fulfilling relationship. But before you do decide to make that decision, make sure you are not only ready for a new relationship, but that you proudly stand apart from the next woman. Happy dating!
