More from the Rib Connection....

Earlier on I spoke about a book I was reading by Carlos Malone; The Rib Connection. And guess what? Its taking me forever to read cos I keep going back to the pages. I recommend it for everyone not just for lovers in a relationship, but in all to have a better relationship with people on a whole. The problems we encounter in relationships are inevitable. But our techniques of weathering the storms of relationships is down to our individuality and how much we want the relationship.
I will just post some extracts which have stayed on with me;

"One sign of immaturity is the unwilllingness to take on responsibilty, especially when the person so refusing is the person upon whom everything depends. Men are to be responsible in every positive way, meeting their assignments head on. and whenever they dont, the business goes undone. A mans ability to assume responsibilty does not suddenly appear when he becomes an adult, but must be nurtured while he is still a boy.Fathers and mothers teach your boys to be responsible, so that when they become men, they will know what responsibilty is all about. Teach them how to cook, manage their finances, how to treat a woman, how to be gentle. Teach them that they are not supposed to run around town, making babies and raising the statistics on single-family homes and sexually transmitted diseases. Real men do not leave others holding the bags for their mistakes"(pg 48-49).

"Being secure sits at the top of the list of most women as a major concern and need. Women cannot live in a situation of uncertainty; it is their human nature to need to know where they are headed. Women in order to feel secure, thrive on detail. They dont like limited information, it is important to them to know exactly what they are getting themselves into. For most women a spirit or feeling of insecurity will frustrate a male/female relationship faster than just about anything else. A woman needs to feel secure, she needs to know that her man will not compromise in this area of need. Be it in finances, family and future planning."(pg 63-64)
