I used to think that one could be there and yet not have any effect on others, if so they wished. A woman would get married to a man, live peacefully at home, and she could decide to either avoid getting into any trouble or make a difference in her husband’s life… in other words, not add or take away anything major from his life.
A zero to the left. Recently, after much research not only through women I’ve counselled by also mainly from my own personal experiences, I’ve made a discovery that has changed the way I look at us women to a whole new level. Women have the power to influence. No matter her role, she knows how to do it, but not only that, she ALWAYS does it. A wife will influence her husband to the point of him doing something he didn’t even know actually came from her. The same for the mother, the friend, and the relative – if they’re women, they’ll influence those around them in some way or the other. This is the hidden power women have held onto since creation. It can be great but it can also be disastrous. It’s a dangerous power to have.
We can either do well or harm somebody – we can never simply not do any of these and that’s where the danger is… You’re either a +1 or a -1 to your husband, children, friends, and relatives. How?
In faith,
