What Makes A Woman Truly Powerful?

August 17, 2018 Te-Erika Patterson

Any woman can be the leader in her relationship if the man supports her leadership. To be a leader in a romantic relationship all a woman has to do is express what she wants from the relationship clearly to her partner. This type of leadership is fueled by the man’s willingness to support the woman he loves, yet there is a drawback. If the man decides not to support her leadership, she loses her leadership role and personal strength. If a woman is only Powerful when she has the support of a man, she is not truly Powerful.

When a woman is truly Powerful, she is Powerful without the support of a man or any dedicated partner. Her independent power allows her to be bold enough to set high standards for herself and her interactions with everyone she meets. She achieves great feats through her personal will and people want to rise to her standards not because they fear her but because they respect and admire her.

Gentlemen who want a Loving FLR will settle for a woman who will lead the relationship with their support, but all men crave a truly Powerful Woman.

Every woman who leads a Loving Female Led Relationship isn’t Powerful. Let’s explore the differences.

A woman in a Loving FLR is NOT Powerful If:

She cannot achieve any of her own goals without the support of a partner.
All she desires from a relationship is money because she cannot support herself financially.
She never expresses appreciation for her partner’s support.
She dismisses the emotional and intimate needs of her partner.
She does not nurture her partner emotionally or support his personal goals.
She does not want to make decisions because she is afraid that her partner will disapprove of them.
She manipulates others because she does not believe she can have what she wants legitimately.
She leads through intimidation.
Her partner must guess what she wants and how she feels about the relationship.

A woman in a Loving FLR IS a Powerful Woman if:

She has a proven track record of leading her own life and achieving success without the support of a man.
She can make wise decisions for her life and their relationship without his input (although she shouldn’t have to).
She has held leadership positions outside of her romantic relationship and have been successful in guiding her team’s progress.
She is not afraid to speak up about her feelings, regardless of how she predicts her partner will feel about it.
She takes responsibility for her partner’s well-being and ensures that he feels cared for and safe with her.
She will never harm her partner intentionally or ask him to harm others.
She offers as much support to her partner as he does to her.
She makes decisions that support the best interests of all parties involved.
She respects herself and expects her partner to respect her too.

When a Gentleman connects with a truly Powerful Woman, he instinctively falls in line with her vision because he has a strong desire to help a Powerful Woman to create her dream life. Although a truly Powerful Woman doesn’t feel as though she needs a man because she is able to create her dream life without him, when she does have a Gentleman in her life, her progress and peace of mind intensifies more quickly. As she makes even more progress and becomes even more Powerful as a direct result of his support, his love for her and pride in himself also intensifies.

A Gentleman understands that a woman’s happiness and progress is a direct reflection of his ability to support her. His Power becomes her Power and she returns his Power with her love and wisdom. They both relish in the realization of their life purpose, connected as one, exchanging their Power effortlessly.
