healthy relationships

In most cases, when I see a man finally get into a serious relationship with a woman, the man only improves. Women—good women—have a way of softening out the rough edges of their partners. They don’t necessarily try to change their partners because we should never try to change someone’s essence. They just bring out the best in them. Let’s face it: a lot of men just get used to their bachelor life ways. Nobody came around and told them to clean up their act. Maybe, once in a while, when their moms would visit, they got a talking to about their eating habits and home décor. But, other than that, they were left to their own devices—the wild things that they are. Female partners have a way of just bettering their men—of softening them and improving them. Like this.

They get better at talking to women

Men in long-term relationships tend to get better at speaking to women in general. Before, they may have felt awkward around women and been clunky in conversation. But through getting close to one woman, they learn more about the wants and needs of women overall, and just get better at carrying on conversations with platonic female friends and colleagues.
