WILL HE TREAT YOU THE WAY HE TREATS MOMMY?

Should you judge him by how he treats his mother?

It has been said that how a man treats his mother is a direct reflection of how he will treat his woman or his wife. How true is this theory?

Sean:

That is rubbish. I don’t really have a mother as she threw me out of her house as a teen because my step-father told her to, and we just don’t have a relationship. I am now married and my wife I believe is quite happy and we are about to start our family.

Racquel T:

I do observe how my husband treated his mother before we got married. I admired how he spoke with her and ensured all her financial needs were met. So that told me how he would treat me, and he did.

Andrene:

How a man treats his mother can’t tell how he will treat you! A man can respect his mother and still use you.

A man who respects his mother is a man who was not only brought up decently, but has the potential of loving his woman or wife unconditionally. Here is what you can learn about a man from how he treats his mother:

• Look out for the hugs and kisses he extends to his mother when he greets her. Because that’s the same treatment that can be expected, and even better when he has you as his one and only.

• Does he respect his mother? Look at how he handles disagreements with her. If he is the type to ignore and say nothing or retaliate and use expletives, beware.

• Does he ensure his mother is financially secure? This is extremely important as you have a lot of men tending to their own affairs and that of others and ignoring the basic necessities such as food, clothing and shelter for their mothers.

• Is he the type to sit and listen or to ignore calls for help? A lot of men say they care, when truth is they care about themselves and their desires only. A woman loves a man who listens, and there is much power in listening as it is in this that understanding is derived.
