Massage His Ego, Grow His Commitment


Men do not marry a woman because of her beauty; they marry a woman because of how they “Feel” in her presence, said one Dr Mike Murdock.

Whereas men derive their confidence and self esteem from their career and achievement his woman remains the single most enhancer of his self esteem.

There is never a middle ground on this; you either have a man who is always enthusiastic to tell you plans for the family, career, business and other dreams or a timid gentleman.

Woman serving his man

Those men who have been belittled at home either remain quiet at home or become runaway husbands with the bar, office and mistresses being their escape destinations.

Your man has got an ego, safeguard it

I know many women hate hearing the word, ‘ego’ but that is a critical aspect of a man. His ego builds the pride in your man to be responsible, take care of his family and protect it. The greatest responsibility of a woman is to safeguard her man’s ego.

If you want to chase him away keep bruising his ego, if you want him to perform his best in his responsibilities keep affirming him. Men are not necessarily looking for a stunning beautiful woman, but a secure and confident lady who will respect them.

Just like women want to be valued, pampered, taken out and their feelings understood men love it when their ego is Massaged

Avoid shouting him down

Many women lie to themselves that by shouting at their men they will tow them into line but in most cases it doesn’t. Just like the women love it when their men listen to them when they are offloading, men appreciate to be listened to during a conflict resolution moment. You don’t win by shouting him down, you lose him.

It helps when you listened to his side of the story even when you think you are right instead of tearing down what they are saying midway. There is no man so insensitive that they can’t understand your views when addressed with respect. Shouting your man down will more likely bruise his ego, send him to quietness and eventually send him away from your house.

Whereas women love letting out when they are angry but your man is not your door mat to tell all the bad words in your heart. All of us get angry the difference is what we do with it.  If you can’t control your anger learn to hold your words till you have cooled down.

Be a good host

Everyman wants to build a successful family, more so we all want to portray this to friends and family. Besides their ego, men’s confidence is boosted by the ability to bring up a successful marriage

Every man prides in a warm home created by the woman of their dreams. Serving his visitors warmly feeds his pride and earns you extra points. When his friends and family are around your man is looking up to you to be a good host. Build his confidence by putting your best foot forward in making his visitors comfortable.

Whether he cooks for you and cleans utensils when his friends and family members are around is not the time to ask him to do so. He wants to create the impression that he has a lovely responsible woman by his side.

Your man’s confidence and responsibility is boosted by your affirmation, respect and encouragement.

Men on the other hand need to pamper their women gladly, READ MORE HERE

    I think selfishness has a role to play in your scenario.
    I have been there and I now know that it’s not our fault. Some humans are just plain selfish. No matter what you do or how hard you try,they don’t get it.some people don’t even know what they had even when it’s gone.
    We can only hope to be blessed with likeminded partners.
    Take heart,all will be well.

    very informative and it’s something that can be done but as one said it , men need to love their wife/lady’s in their lives and like wise a woman/gr’frined will respond and submit with no problem. communicate , communicate and communicate both parties in a respectable and loving manner and watch what God will do to such a unionship.

    I think all this is reasonable. although speaking from experience ive tried and tested and got none of the above in return. the one time in the span of our relationship I raised my voice it became ive humiliated him. I think its time people started giving notes to men on how to treat a woman who gives them all they need n more. or plain n simply just teach some men how to be men.. im just saying…

    Objectively read, this is a good advice for Nairobi women, especially those who fight with their men thinking they are on the same level, bruising his ego without care. I have had such a relationship and trust me, a man needs his ego to achieve and love a woman, bruis it and he’ll be gone no sooner.

    Some of these things happen to us and we are driven out of our homes. Then the women say ‘nilimpatia kila kitu, na hakutosheka” forgetting the ego was bruised over and over again until he felt irrelevant in the house. Good article i must echo especially now that i am a married man.

    Hey Kagiri, donno y ths topic hurts. Maybe its coz i was raised in a volatile family or coz for a looooong time (30yrs) i viewed ALL men as egocentric pigs. I cud go on n on about the hurt n confusion i grew up with n the many opportunities iv missed out on coz of my negative att concerning mens ego. Ephesians talks of men loving their wives as Christ loved the church. Did Christ ever demand to be treated in certain way coz He was a man – NO! He was the epitome of gentleness itself n even tho man can never be like Christ, they can atleast try to emulate Him. My past hardened me, made me very cautious n strong willed..coz of ths najipata in a fix of “now wot did i say or do wrong ths time “.. Im currently in a promising relp n find myself in a whirl coz wen i wanna affirm, i end up defusing the ego. I find myself trying sooo hard to make my guy know that i trust him n i hv his back but ai hii ego sijui kuido? At times i need/want him to earn it but at other times (coz nampenda) i wanna affirm him bila him having to deserve/earn it.. Kagiri plz teach the many ladies like me who hv seen the ugly side of a mans ego that there is a gd side to the ego that needs to be strenthened. Teach us HOW TO pamper a mans ego coz many like me try but get it all wrong.

    The hardest thing under the sun is to live with a woman who will always want to be on top of the man. If the man is bitter with her, she will not thrive in anything she does because she needs her man’s blessing. I tell you submission is the hardest thing on earth that a woman can ever do. Even the word “sorry” is difficult to come from her mouth. A man will say “sorry” but a woman will never, she’d rather die than say it. It’s not that we men are perfect but it’s good to have a level ground to walk on. If a woman wants to win an arguement with her loud mouth, that’s fine because she’ll win the contest and loose the battle towards the solution.

    Would and is it right to massage the confidence of a man (husband) who doe not provide at all for his family and does not care about his wife’s or children’s health and well being?

    • January 27, 2012 at 6:25 pm

      Ideally men women should care and submit to their husbands and make a good home. MEN should love and care for their wifes and families on the other hand. We dont do good to those we love coz they are good but because we love them so i wud say dont say you wont be good coz they are not good. However there are special cases of irresponsible men/women that needs to be addressed. if it a unique case feel free to contact men on kagiri.anthony@gmail.com

    I won’t and I will never massage a man’s ego, he needs to earn that by loving and respecting me the way I should. That’s a commandment from God and i don’t need to do anything 2 deserve it. Submission is enough. Serving guest,relatives and other small favours lyk those…ha!!! he needs to earn them.

    • Felix
      February 1, 2012 at 12:24 pm

      Kindly,
      Read that same Bible again, dont blow up things. Marriage is not a contract thing that each party must do his/her part if the contract is breached even at the mistake of one party, the whole thing falls. It is a field where one’s failure/weakness needs to be nursed to be fruitful n effective. You need to massage/nurture that ego unless you want to lose him. Learn this, if any man (human being) can not love,submit,respect and relate well with God not even to his/her fellow human being will he/she do it. Reference Phil 2:1-11

Tungalitumia masomo haya na vyeo hizi kuzijenga familia zetu ingekuvyema zaidi kuliko kuvitumia kudunishana na kuleta malumbano. Kila mtu anayo taasuba lakini la muhimu ni ni kuelewana.
