It is high time you boys step aside and let the ladies take the reins. Here, we give you 11 reasons why a female-led relationship just works.
Since the beginning of time, men have always sought to be on top.
There is something about being an Alpha male that satiates their
male-ego-bullshit. Even so, history proves that women of all ages and
origins were taken seriously and heralded as equal to men. Cleopatra,
Empress Wu Zetian, and Elizabeth I are just a few examples of women who
held unparalleled positions of power.
In today’s day and age, there are many more women who lead not just
households, but entire nations. From the single mother who lives across
the street, to Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, women are quickly
proving to men that they can handle just as much, if not more, than
them.
Wearing the metaphorical pants in a female led relationship
When it comes to relationships, letting the woman wear the pants is
still a relatively taboo topic. Men may be willing to give up their seat
in the boardroom, but they’re not as willing to give up their seat at
the head of the table. However, times are changing and men around the
world are starting to understand that letting their lady be in charge
may not be such a bad thing.
Establishing a solid hierarchy in a relationship is just as important
as establishing one in a company. It is up to each couple to decide
just how much power gets distributed amongst one another. It could range
from letting the female handle certain aspects of the relationship,
such as giving her full control in the bedroom, to the other end of the
spectrum, where she has complete control over the entire partnership. In
any case, here are 11 reasons why a female-led relationship is simply
awesome.
#1 Full awareness. Women are fully aware of
everything that’s happening. From knowing exactly when the cookies in
the oven are done, to figuring out what’s bothering you, women are
mindful of their surroundings and will do their best to ensure smooth
sailing.
#2 Multi tasking abilities. There is no denying that
a woman can juggle a full time job, keep the kids alive, ensure that
the home is in order, and still keep the spark alive in the bedroom. For
men, it’s a pick-one-and-deal-with-it scenario. Who wants that, when
they can have it all?
#3 Organized and efficient. I have a full-time job
and so does my partner. The difference between him and me is that,
despite working long hours, I’m still able to stay organized and
efficient both at home and at my desk. From making dinner reservations,
to keeping track of anniversaries, birthdays, Thanksgiving, and other
important dates, I do it all. Not once has the thought of letting him do
it all crossed my mind. I don’t doubt his ability to do it; I doubt his
ability to do it well.
#4 Not afraid to ask for help. From asking for
directions, to signing up for marriage counseling, women don’t have the
ego that men have. If there’s something wrong or if they can’t do
something, they won’t hesitate to ask for help. Men usually retreat into
their man caves and hope that the problem goes away, which obviously
doesn’t solve anything.
#5 Better communication. Couples in female-led
relationships express themselves better than others, giving them a
higher chance of maintaining a happy and healthy relationship. This is
because they understand that expressing themselves and indulging in
fluid communication is more important than engaging in a mindless
shouting match—or worse, giving one another the silent treatment.
#6 There is no reading between the lines. Some may
call this being bossy, but I call this taking control. When you take the
guesswork out of everyday situations, things will run smoothly and
efficiently. For example, instead of hinting for the male to pick up his
socks, the female lead will simply tell him to do it and it gets done.
Of course, the female has to learn not to abuse her power, because the
goal is for both parties to have a happy relationship.
#7 Being equal. In a female-led relationship, the
man doesn’t hold all the power, even if he earns more money than his
lady. There is a good distribution of power that both parties can
appreciate—and this is gender equality at its finest.
#8 Less pressure. Once the female takes charge,
there is less pressure on the male. The male doesn’t have to worry about
much else, aside from making his lady love happy. As mentioned above,
women handle multitasking a lot better than men, and it is this ability
to juggle many things at once that will help the relationship thrive and
take the pressure off both parties.
#9 Higher sense of satisfaction. When things run
smoothly, there is no doubt that both parties will feel a higher sense
of accomplishment and satisfaction. No one likes it when things are in
shambles, and in most female-led relationships, there is no need to
worry about things getting out of hand. Women seem to have a higher
sense of responsibility when taking charge of the kids and household,
and there is no doubt that she will do an excellent job running the
relationship, too.
#10 Improved sex life. You will be surprised at how
many men yearn to be the submissive one, especially in the bedroom. In a
female-led relationship, there is no doubt that the woman will take on
the domineering role. This, in turn, will spice up the couple’s sex
life, resulting in a happier and more satisfied relationship.
#11 Good learning experience. Whether you opt to try
out a female-led relationship for a little while, or completely change
the dynamics of your relationship for good, there is no doubt that both
of you will learn something from the experience. Switching roles will
give both parties the chance to appreciate and understand what the other
usually has to deal with and this, in turn, will encourage
togetherness.
Like everything else, there are bound to be challenges in a
female-led relationship. Examples include dissatisfaction and the
customary power struggle. However, there is no reason why you can’t work
through them and emerge stronger than ever as a couple.
