What does she need? The truth is... not the world, not the stars, not castles in the clouds. She simply needs you... present, attentive, and intentional. No matter how strong she may appear... no matter how fiercely independent or effortlessly beautiful she seems... deep down, she still wants to be accepted and adored by the one she chooses to love. Even the strongest women long to be held gently.
She wants your compliments... not because she needs validation, but because hearing it from you matters more than you know. Tell her she's beautiful. Tell her she’s doing a good job. Notice her efforts... especially when she steps out of her comfort zone. Those small changes... the new dress, the quiet courage to try something different... they deserve to be seen, especially by your eyes.
She needs more than words. She needs your actions to speak the promises your lips once made. She’s been let down before... taken for granted, left to mend wounds she never caused. So when you say you’ll be there, show up. When you say you care, let it be known in your consistency. Backing up your words with effort is the language that love understands best.
And healing... she needs your gentleness in that too. No, you didn’t cause the pain in her past... but your love can be the place where she finally exhales. Pick her flowers on a random Wednesday... not to impress her, but because she crossed your mind on your way home. Learn her. Know the way she takes her coffee... the scent that soothes her soul... the movie scenes that bring tears to her eyes. These aren’t small things... they’re everything.
She’s not asking you to give her the world... only to make her feel like she’s a priority in yours. That alone will mean more than any grand gesture. Because nothing captivates her more than a man who is strong enough to support her growth... who roots for her, even when the world feels heavy... and who shows his love not in big speeches, but in everyday effort.
So take my advice... and take care of her. Not because she can’t survive wi
