PART I

INTRODUCTION

DOES FINDING A true love relationship have anything to do with luck? In other words, do you have to be lucky to meet someone who loves you and whom you love to live in love together forever? When love, in fact, is something everyone naturally should experience. Because as humans, we all have feelings and therefore we need and deserve to enjoy true love in our lives.

But this question comes to mind simply because it is so common to hear women, whether single, married or in any relationship, claim that it is difficult to find a good man. However, as women make these comments among themselves during their girl talks, their complaints are partially undeniable. That said, it is something that has pushed me to think much to the point in which I sometimes wonder, what’s wrong with some of us men?

Why do women seem to complain so much about their boyfriends, fiancés, and spouses? The only thing I can think of is that women certainly have expectations that we men are not fully satisfying. It leads me to ask the question, what is it to be a man in a relationship with a woman?

You see, in today’s modern time, we are taught a lot of things through schools, specialized trainings, workshops or seminars in which we learn the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare ourselves to succeed in everything we plan to do in life regarding careers and business. Everything seems to revolve around money and nothing but becoming rich, which is not a bad thing since we use currencies to pay for goods, and services we need to live. We are also educated on how to be good citizens, obey laws and respect others who live in our communities as well as in society in general.

But on the other hand, we do not receive any kind of formal preparation or education on how to be a good man in a relationship with a woman, though it’s evident that we are destined to be with one of them at least for one period in our lives.

Men, is it not as important to have a beautiful love relationship with a woman and to feel that one succeeds as well in the realm of a love life? We are naturally made to be the future boyfriends, fiancés, and husbands, and to create families and to raising children in some cases.

A family is one of the very first social institutions in which a man is typically at the head of the structure that is composed of a father, a mother, and children. So managing it well is necessary to establish the right social balance for all those involved. The truth is that these relationships that we maintain have a severe impact on us as individuals and on society in general, depending on whether we are happy or unhappy in them.

It may be time to consider a school course about the relationship between man and woman for the children in our society. It seems to be essential to prepare them in this subject as well as others since this will most likely be a significant part of their lives tomorrow.

And back to us, in the meantime, we men still must learn how to be good men for our ladies.

THE LIFE EXPERIENCE

CHAPTER 1

MY OWN RELATIONSHIP

FIRST OF ALL, let me tell you a little bit about a long-term love relationship that started in childhood. I have known my wife, who is the queen of my heart and the mother of my four children, for more than two decades now. We met when we were teenagers in high school. We fell in love at a young age. Since that time, this love has kept our two hearts connected and dedicated.

We were both innocent and ignorant about life at the time. However, we started going out together and instantly developed our relationship at the same time we were growing up in other areas. We just wanted to be together everywhere and all the time. It was often challenging to stay away from each other. I remember that sometimes when I went to her parents’ home to visit her, we ended up walking on foot, chatting all the way back to my parents’ house instead of me taking a taxi. And then I had to get a cab for her to return home later. We didn’t even reside so close to each other–It was at least a 30-minute drive.

In the end, certain circumstances of life physically separated us from time to time in the nineties, because each of us had to improve our personal life and to pursue educational opportunities.

Nevertheless, our love for one another kept us bound in our hearts, even when we did not speak or see each other because our means of communication were limited. Technology in that time was not as advanced as it is today with WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook, and others. And what was available at that time, we did not even have the money to afford.

In the end, we got married ten years after we started dating. People sometimes ask me why it took so long to marry her. The truth is that I couldn’t really ask her to marry me without knowing that I would be able to take on my role as a man. Yes, I was madly in love with her as I am still today. But was I able to take care of her, and foresee a safe future for both of us at the beginning of our relationship? The answer is no. I was still a student, and it was hard to find just a little work on the side to earn a few pennies even after I graduated from high school. I am fortunate that she did not leave me, but rather that she has supported me morally for all these years.

Committing to being with a woman is something you have to think about as a responsible man before you can embark on a long-standing relationship like marriage. You want to make sure that you will be able to put food on the table for you two or your new family.

So today, we have been married for fifteen years. We have four beautiful children, one daughter, Ernestine, and three boys, Lowell, Aldrick and Jack. We are both very satisfied with our relationship and the family we have created under the direction of God, in whom we both believe.

Love is the foundation and the center of our relationship. We take care of each other every day.
