What every girl should know about love by 25

Love isn’t perfect, and that’s okay

Sometimes we expect too much from love, but love itself isn’t perfect. The good thing is that it doesn’t require perfection. No one can be perfect. If you look at your ideal family role models, whether it’s your mom, dad, grandma, or a close friend, you’ll see they aren’t perfect either, even though they might be your example of family bonds.

Your partner should sever ties with his mom before marrying you

A man’s first woman is always his mother. As a boy, he’s closely attached to her for the first twelve years of his life. This bond might weaken, but does it ever completely break? Not always. If the mother is independent and mature, she will easily let her son go. Otherwise, you’ll have a big problem. The mother will not give her son freedom, will decide everything for him, and eventually turn your marriage into nothing.

Men and women want different things from love

A woman often seeks a teacher in her man, someone who helps her understand herself. Her vast universe needs a person who won’t overlook any aspect of her being and can embrace all her feminine states: the girl, the homemaker, the lover, and the Queen. Only a King can do this, hence why she needs a strong man who has outgrown his childhood fears. Meanwhile, a man wants to be the creator of his woman, ready to turn her into a Queen himself. This is why he may feel jealous when she seeks learning opportunities elsewhere and not from him.

Both men and women seek attention in love

Any dissatisfaction in relationships stems from one partner not getting enough attention from the other. It might seem like the relationship is failing due to complex personalities, bad habits, or inappropriate behavior, but if partners pay attention to each other, these issues won’t lead to a breakup. Women’s form of attention is fully engaging with the speaker, absorbing their image without resistance. Men’s form of attention is being involved in a process, being fully engaged without distractions.

Love is not slavery or self-sacrifice

Don’t turn your relationship into just obligations, and don’t strip your relationship of life and joy. If you’re working two jobs and come home to take care of the entire house, where is the joy in that relationship? You shouldn’t be exhausted, overworked, or sleep-deprived — all these lead to energy depletion, lack of strength, and a loss of mood, affecting everyone around you, especially your partner.

Real love comes with pain

Love is worth the pain. But if you’re too afraid of pain, you’ll never be able to love. Love is worth everything. Often the hardest things in life are the most valuable. Be realistic. Sometimes we want too much from our partner, forgetting they are human too. Don’t project all your romantic and idealized notions from books and movies onto them. Learn to forgive; it’s the most important thing in relationships.

Learn to love maturely

Mature love doesn’t impose itself, doesn’t smother the man with affection, and doesn’t demand love and attention in return. A woman should care for her inner world to maintain harmony and peace. Mature love means not losing yourself in the relationship, not trying to merge into one with your partner, depriving both of personal space. You should have an interesting life without him. Don’t abandon your hobbies, stop communicating with friends and relatives, or obsess over your partner as the most important thing in your life.

Communicate differently with your man

Pay attention to your expressions and intonations when talking to your man. Without realizing it, you might be sending signals about your true feelings toward him, hidden deep inside. For a woman, a man isn’t just a specific person but the beliefs and projections she absorbed from her mother, from her family’s relationships, from her mother’s attitude towards her father and men in general.

Believe in him until your last breath

Believe in him. Never doubt him or his abilities. Men are very sensitive to a woman’s mood, even if they don’t show it. Everything a man does, he does for the woman, family, and children, and it’s crucial for him to see the woman happy and content. If the woman is irritated and tired, the man interprets it as “I’m bad,” “I can’t make her happy,” “she’s unhappy with me.” And who likes to feel like they’re always bad?

Men are a mirror of women

A man serves a woman with every action, even negative ones like drinking, idleness, or abuse. A man is a mirror reflecting everything a woman doesn’t want to acknowledge about herself. Even in the most difficult relationships, in so-called dysfunctional families, men and women serve each other. They reflect what they don’t want to admit about themselves. Two people stay together as long as they have something to give each other. And sometimes, they give each other pain, humiliation, and suffering. But they don’t part because they are both responsible for their situation.
