Femininity and receiving gifts go hand in hand - but are you a good receiver when it comes to all of the ways that women can receive? Is there more to receiving that will raise my essence of femininity and help make my marriage more intimate? These are the questions I had to reflect on and ask myself! I realized that there are some little ways that have sabotaged relationships in a big way for me, but now I can be more aware and make the change to be a good receiver. Ladies, let's discuss Intimacy Skill number 4 of The Empowered Wife book by Laura Doyle!

My husband is a terrible gift-giver. I figured out a long time ago that, left to his own devices, I would be receiving pots and pans for every birthday and Christmas! I now make a list for him. It's important to remember that lacking the gift-giving skill is not a reflection of how much he loves me. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Now as for me, I LOVE giving others gifts! I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. While I'm watching you grow by leaps and bounds, Leisha, I'm learning a few things myself!♥️🇨🇦

I certainly know gift giving is not every man’s forte! Great suggestion for those of us who are in that boat. Thank you for the thoughtful comment 💞💞💞

You remind me of me so much! I love your videos. Keep rocking on ❤ I was thinking about what I wanted my mission statement to be earlier and that I needed to really start to focus on it and then I read yours and it was so beautifully written ❤ im so glad you are heading in the direction of your desire! So wonderful to see ❤❤❤❤

my mother in law is big on rejecting everyone’s gifts no matter how big or small and what the occasion is. She wants us to accept her gifts with no issues. Made me realize we all feel rejected and hurt by her as you quoted the author.

@LeishaLevelingUp Год назад

That piece was a huge insight for me to think about! I think I find it to be true in instances I can remember. 🌟

Getting enough compliments is tricky! My love language is 'Words of affirmation' so this is really important to me. In fact I used to ask my husband to tell me that I looked pretty; and he would reply; 'Well if I am forced to say it then it's not a true compliment!' No arguing with that statement! I learned to make myself look good for my OWN approval and as I have relaxed into this I have noticed that he chases after me much more often! 😅 I also realised that compliments don't only come as verbal statements, they also come as appreciative glances. Needing to hear him say those compliments was actually coming from a place of insecurity. I love how uncomplicated men are! So masculine.

@LeishaLevelingUp Год назад

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. This is something that I see a lot of younger women (myself when in my 20's!) are challenged with as well because our brains work so differently than men when it comes to receiving love. Even having the same love language can look differently. 💗

I love this sort of stuff, Adrienne Everheart gives some really practical examples of how to receive and soften. This is where I first discovered this concept and it really changed my relationship for the better.

Laura D. also has a book for singles. I agree- all of her books would be good at any phase of a relationship. Pink is your color.

Wonderful video. I realized during my earlier years that certain holidays meant a lot to me on that day. Birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day were the three most important to me. But as I have become older I realize that on the day may not occur...but that does not mean they don't care. Gifts that I find are so sweet are thecself care certificates or that coffee shop in town...and more than anything special time. Some folks just do not appreciate no matter how hard you try. I personally just do what I can...and I give a gift I would love to receive. I do my best and let God do the rest. If it is not accepted...they just have to move on.

@LeishaLevelingUp Год назад

Love this perspective! Thank you for sharing. I know those for whom feeling special on a specific day is important too. ❤️

@yeahweburnstuff Год назад

I used to give gifts that I would love to receive and puzzled over why the recipient wasn't always thrilled to receive something that I would love to get. Then it dawned on me that I was a TERRIBLE gift giver! Giving a well-received gift means you have put thought and effort into the receiver's taste and personal preferences, not shopping for yourself by proxy. I'm still not great at it though...

During a minimalist phase of my life, I insisted that my husband and I normalize not giving gifts. It was idea to avoid cluttering our lives and homes. And I taught, I am a rich woman - I have a high salary and I know the best what I need so I will buy it myself. And I regret it . I like gifts. I live opening nice packaging, unwrapping luxury presents… How do I go back? How do I communicate it? Any idea? Note: I do occasionally receive gift from him, on random days. Note2: I also encouraged my family not to buy me gifts due to my minimalistic tendencies and also because no one in my family is wealthy as I am. I feel guilty if I take something from them. Note3: I love giving gifts to my family. But I never know what to buy to my husband. He does not need anything 🤷‍♀️🙃

I was the same minus the husband I was wearing black for 6 years ..minimal classic style and had minimal items ...now I'm the opposite..got my colour theory done and I'm a cool winter ..love the pinks, greens and blues..so beautiful...getting into beautiful things too but with thought behind it ❤

Find an aspect of Venus to which you can relate. Bring this Venusian beauty into your home and personality, and if you are unsure about how to do this then begin by honouring the goddess in yourself. Buy a new feminine and sweet perfume - wear it every day. Wear sexy underclothes, especially in bed, and ALWAYS keep fresh roses on display in your home; preferably with thorns on the stems. Put soft fresh flowers in your bathroom such as daisys or hortensia. All this will begin to impact your softness and he will notice very much. 🙏

Such a fantastic question! I have somewhat experienced this before. In another chapter of the book, there is a woman who begins expressing what she wants with the "I would love..." expression and while it took a little bit of time, her husband began to recognize what would make her happy. I think it starts there and with going back to the way Laura describes that ultimately you are responsible for your self care to be a happy woman so that in the time it takes to transition into filling up that energy of receiving, you are happy and not bitter. In the book the author mentions that you are the one who sets the tone so I think it could be fun to experiment with this expression of your desire for a nice gift, practice being a good receiver of compliments and apologies in the next month and see how it goes!

@mamaomom4987 Год назад

Well I don’t fully agree with not being to giving. In my opinion both the man and woman need to be giving in the relationship. Giving love and care to each other every day. In addition in some situations the woman is going to be more giving. For example right now I am taking care of him after surgery. I would rather do it myself than hire a stranger or ask his family for help. And when I give birth he is obviously going to have to care for me. That’s why I think that it is possible to be giving and receiving at the same time. He can give me love even though I am taking care of him at the moment and I can receive it. However I do have to do a bit more physically and be stronger at the moment. And this is completely fine

I’m thinking of giving a friend this book for women’s day what do you think? She has a provider husband but! she won’t let him do his thing even at dinner she’s obsessed with 50/50 Sometimes it’s so hard watch we hangout with them.

@sophianachtigall3598 Год назад

Be careful as that could come up very intrusive and unwelcome. There is nothing bad in 50/50 lifestyle. Some woman really prefer it and feel good and feminine that way. To each they own.

@yeahweburnstuff Год назад

Lead by example seems to work well in my life. Perhaps invite her to afternoon tea and leave the book on the edge of the coffee table, this way she can comment on it and take it from there. 🙏

@LeishaLevelingUp Год назад

I have thought of some women in my life that could find the info helpful and been in a similar situation before! I usually wait for a chance in natural conversation to recommend the book (what have you been reading lately? Any book recommendations?). If she shows interest then I gift it or let her borrow from my shelf once I'm done with the book! And you could introduce the concepts by example - although if it is a happy marriage overall she may not notice a difference. Some couples operate 50/50 but I don't know many personally that it works for in the long term - especially those who have a family. I don't think the overall topic of the book provides a first impression regarding the consideration of being 50/50. There is always room to strengthen intimacy and we can take what we need and leave what doesn't work for us!

Is your jumper an Aran sweater?

@LeishaLevelingUp Год назад

It is the same style however it is a vintage Jos. A Bank cable sweater that was my mother's. I always receive compliments when I wear it.
