The speed of communication has surpassed the quality, where every word is as if for show, and where it is so easy to lose yourself in this theater. Sometimes it seems that a real meeting is a rarity. I am not talking about a romantic meeting as such.

To be honest, I have always been a little sad to hear how many girls believe that a man should work from morning to night, as if he has one and only one main task - to provide for his family at any cost, even at the cost of his own health and happiness. It's like some kind of cult, where a real man is someone who does not stop for a second, for the sake of money and status. I have long been convinced of the opposite.

When a woman sincerely wants to support her man financially, it does not devalue his dignity or courage. On the contrary, she takes care of him, freeing up his time and energy so that he can devote them to his family, wife, children, and not just work. This is a partnership based on love and mutual respect, not on rigid stereotypes and an endless race for status.

It seems to me that many are simply afraid of such equality - they think that a man should be the head and the only breadwinner, otherwise he is “not a man”. But true masculinity is not the number of hours in the office, but the ability to be a support and protection for your family, to be able to love and care, to be there not only physically, but also with your soul. By helping a man bear the financial burden, a woman shows him that she believes in him and in their common strength. And this is where amazing power is manifested - the power of trust and mutual support.

I remember how in my circle there was a couple where the girl went to work when the husband was going through a difficult period in his career. She did not think that he was “less of a man” now, on the contrary, their relationship became stronger. The husband was able to focus on self-development and family, without worrying about money, and she felt needed and important. This is real care, which I respect very much.

The Catholic faith teaches me about mercy, humility and love for one’s neighbor. Not as a duty, but as a joy and a natural desire to give and support. In this sense, support in the family is not just a distribution of responsibilities, but an act of deep love that frees each partner to be themselves.

And yes, I know that many girls and men look at this differently. Someone thinks that a man should work like a horse to show that he is the master of the situation. But isn’t it more important to see that your man has time for you? For an evening walk, for a conversation, for hugs? Isn’t this the real value?

Of course, everyone chooses their own path. But for me, helping a man is not weakness, but wisdom. It is an opportunity to build a life together, where both feel loved and needed. Where a man does not lose courage, but gains the freedom to be closer to his family. Where a woman is not just a victim, but an active participant in a common story.

Maybe this idea will seem unusual to someone, but I believe that it is in such a partnership - where there is no dictation of roles, but there is mutual respect and support - that true harmony and happiness are born.
