The Moment a Woman Leads, the Relationship Begins to End

The moment a woman becomes responsible for leading the relationship, something inside the relationship begins to change. She may still love the man, but she can no longer experience him as the man setting the direction. She starts making the major decisions, correcting his behavior, carrying the emotional weight, and pushing the relationship forward. Eventually, she stops feeling like his woman and starts feeling like his manager.

Masculine leadership is not about disrespecting a woman, ignoring her intelligence, or controlling her every move. A wise man listens to his woman because she may notice what he cannot see. But after listening, considering, and measuring the situation, he must be willing to make the final decision—and accept responsibility for the outcome.
