RLCG: Three Essential Relationship Duties

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVWC chapter.

Fellas, this one is for you.

Alright?

Listen up! RLCG Charles in Charge is here to lay out how to reach the third and final step of the three step relationship process.

However, the only way that this is going work is for you to treat your woman well. You have to earn her respect, trust, and heart. Without these three things it makes it that much harder to reach the final step.

The first duty you have to your woman is: The boyfriend duty. The boyfriend stage is the most important stage of this process. The boyfriend duty is the stage where you jump over the line from being friends to more than friends. This part of the relationship with your woman is very sensitive. You can either win her over (meaning have her believe you are worth a long time relationship) or you can “drop the ball” and watch her slip through your fingers. Doing all of the small things will make the biggest difference in this stage.

The second duty you have to your woman is: The best-friend duty. The only way you can reach this level is by completing the boyfriend stage/duty. This means you have passed all of the tests to have your woman believe that she can put her trust, love and time into the relationship. The best-friend stage is where she can go the extra step. This is where you become a “boy-friend” to her. She’ll spend the most time with you, and when she needs someone to talk to or express her feels to, she will come to you! As a man, it’s okay to be sensitive. If you want that next step with your woman, you will need to know that being sensitive with your woman will mean more to her than you will ever know! My biggest warning? When your girl needs you the most, DO NOT BLOW HER OFF!! Stop whatever you are doing and be there. This will make her fall in love with you more than flowers, chocolate, or diamonds ever will. The boyfriend and best-friend will take a lot of work to make right and strong. If you do it right, it will last a long time.

With that it leads me to the last duty… The husband duty! The husband duty is the finish line, and the 100% on your relationship test. If you reach this stage, mad respect!!! I can’t really give advice on this stage, but I will be able to very soon. But I know this already: Don’t get married if you still have a boyish mindset. If you aren’t ready to be selfless then you are not ready. If you aren’t ready for “we” and only looking out for “me” you’re not ready. As a man to man, marry the woman who you can see yourself with for the rest of your life and not the one you see with yourself for a couple years.

Be the man your woman is afraid of losing. Real man are few and far between; be one of the few!
