As a woman going into a relationship, you need to ask yourself some personal questions. 

>What do I have to offer? 
What am I going to do to keep my man? 
How will I handle personal issues when we start living together? 
How will I treat his people? 
How will I contribute to the growth of our family

Gone are the days when all a woman has to offer in a relationship is her body. These days, men don't just want your body, they want your intellect, your patience, your caring attitude, your courage and then other positive attributes that make you unique from others.

To build a successful home, one needs to get an understanding of what the other party wants. This understanding leads to a realization of whether one can offer what is necessary to sustain a relationship or not. One needs to make the other party realize that you both have needs as individuals andbas a couple. Then both parties need to be able to reach a common ground on many issues. 

It is important to note at this point that certain traits are "must-haves" in any relationship. Top of that list is understanding. Others include, in no particular order, patience, wisdom and foresight among others.

What you have to offer is personal to you but then, you need to be sure what you have to offer is enough to keep your better half for life. Stay woke
