Women are going to go through whatever emotional changes that they are going to go through. There is nothing that we can do to stop that. The best that we can do, I think, is just to allow ourselves to be present in the moment so that we are able to keep them grounded. Sometimes, it is a matter of testing you to see how strong you are. She wants to feel secure and protected. It is your duty as a man to show her that you are a strong leader and you are able to provide that security in all the ways that matter.

I use three primary roles when processing any situation. I tend to look at everything as though they are happening in a small tribe of about a hundred and fifty people. The masculine roles are to protect, provide, and propagate. So it’s pretty limited as far as the interaction with women. They need to protect them. They also need to provide for them and someone is going to hunt and someone is going to defend against enemies. And lastly, every village needs babies, so yeah, they are appropriate. I try to look at these aspects of things and break it down into what women want. Based on the conversations that I have had with women in the past, these three roles always come out on top.
