There is no doubt, some women are very lucky to have gotten married to men who are ready to do everything for them ,but life is beyond that.

There is joy, satisfaction ,and a sense of fulfilment in independence.Even if your man is willing, there is no crime in letting him know that you are not incapacitated.

It is also good to live in the consciousness that anything could happen at any point in time.No one prays for death but it is inevitable.

Women no longer want to be spooted, not at all. That is no longer a popular practice. Women of today occupy the forefront position, they compete for top positions like their male counterparts.

Many women have realised this already while some still need to be educated about the changing trends in the society.

 Unfortunately, many people are of the belief that career women do not make good wives. Far from it, it is possible for a woman to be uneducated and unemployed and yet would be highly irresponsible while it is possible for a career woman to be highly responsible and be a good homemaker .

People, regardless of their gender only live out what is inherent in them. Career has very little influence on a woman’s inbuilt character.

For a woman who is naturally unruly, attaining a great professional height would only aid the manifestation of her unruly behaviours .

However, the chances are low that a godly, humble and homely woman would overnight become a beast because of the high status she just attained.

Moreover, in Nigeria and other parts of the World, examples of career women with a history of excellence abound .

It is, however, important that a woman strikes a balance between her career and home.A home that is not catered for could become a source of worry later in life.

 One of the reasons why several social vices manifest amongst children of the 21st century is because parents and guardians fail in their responsibilities to cater for their children and wards.

When visionless children are raised in a home due to parents lack of care or, most importantly, the Mother’s busy schedule, danger lies ahead.

However, with her home in proper shape,the woman is psychologically and emotionally equipped to discharge her duties as expected. This would further boost her acceptance amongst her peers and the society at large.

Essentially too, a woman needs her husband’s support to excel in her chosen career.This would make her go far and attain the peak of her career.

A woman, who is continually being envied by her husband or whose husband feels threatened by any new feat she achieves needs divine intervention to go far in life.

In a nutshell, women should not be carried away by ephemeral things. The important and required must be done.

Raise a good family, make your husband and children to be proud of you, breed responsible children and pursue a successful career. All These make a complete woman.

Having said it all, it behoves on the woman to heed wise counsel and do all within her capacity to make this year beautiful. The ball is in your courts. I wish you success throughout the year and beyond.
