A woman sometimes seems to want to be the most important thingin her mans life. However, if she is the most importnat thing then she feels her man has made her the number one priorityand is not fully dedicated or directed to divine growth and service. She will feel her man's dependence on her for his happiness, and this will make her feel smothered by his neediness and clinging. A woman really wants a man to be totally dedicated to his highest purpose - and also to love her fully. Although she would never admit it she wants to feel that her man would be willing to sacrifice their relationship for the sake of his highest purpose
Sound like GAL?
IN the book the example is of a man about to go to war. His woman says she doesn't want him to go. However, if he were to stay she would be happy at first but sad later knowing that he chose to abandon his higher purpose (serving humanity) to be with her.
Think about how Lois Lane felt when Superman gave up his powers to be human so he could be with her....
Anyway, it's a good book after the third read.
I ain't no Superman, but it sure made me think about my situatuion! We seperated in April becasue we were supposed to move to a new city to "advance" my career! In the end she stayed and I moved! This lasted until the end of Sept when the 5 hr drive between the cities was too much and I did not want to become a weekend Dad! So I quit my job and career of 11 years to be closer to the kids and give our marriage a fighting chance! AS soon as I moved back we almost recounciled immediately and she moved in full time in mid Nov! So my question from this quote is I did give up my supposed life to be with her and the kids and that made me extremely happy, but does she think it happened too fast and am I needy?
