When you look at the type of relationships one has today
they range anything from so-called normal set-ups to the type where couples
live in different homes and spend weekends and vacations together in order to
keep things fresh. The question is not necessarily whether one partner is
enough for you sexually, but whether the partner shares some of the same
interests as you do; something that will keep the mental and physical intact
over the years. We feel differently at forty than we do at nineteen. At
nineteen we dance on the rooftops and hang from the rafters and have no care in
the world; at forty we have grown stiff with boredom and are saddled with partners
who have not evolved at the same rate.
What do women want?
First, a woman wants understanding. She wants a man who can make her laugh, who
interests her with his mind and can engage her – a man who values her opinion
and is her best friend – a man who is sensitive and cries when he is hurt – a man
who holds her in bed and cuddles with her on the couch watching a film – a man
who trusts her and still thrills to her touch. She wants to be more important than his
buddies and be the first one he comes to when he is hurt or in trouble. Women
are fierce protectors of their brood. When it comes to her kids there is
nothing she will not do to keep them safe.
Keeping the home fires
burning
Being your partner’s best buddy or best friend is probably one
of the most important ingredients for a successful relationship. When you are
friends with someone you do not hurt them; you want the best for them and for
yourself. Women will do anything to keep
their families intact; they are loyal creatures and fiercely protective and
just like a watchdog can turn on you at the drop of a dime if you come into her
space.
There are more women than men in
the world today and polygamy can easily fix that problem; but that is not our
subject today. It’s not easy to find a good man and where you find one you have
to guard against women with crowbars who are ready to wreck your relationship to
get your man. To answer the overall question one man is enough if he has even
half of the attributes mentioned above. The best medicine to keep a relationship
healthy and alive is to be the best friends you can be; everything else will
fall into place.
