It is not a woman’s job to make a man feel better about himself.
It is not a man’s job to make a woman feel better about herself.

Value must come from within, and the responsibility to feel better about yourself comes from within too.

When someone then treats you with value, you can nod your head in agreement, because you know it’s true. When they don’t, it won’t faze you, because you know they just can’t see you clearly yet, and it’s not your job to clean their glasses.

In every relationship — marriage, friendship, work, etc. — it is both the man’s and the woman’s job to treat everyone with kindness, respect, clear communication, support, encouragement and thoughtfulness. Once you can give that to yourself, it is easy to spread the overflow and see the same value in those around you.
