REDPEMPTION, LTR.119
A Woman's Worth by Alicia Keyz

You have to know who you are an' know your own needs before you get in a relationship that you are not suitable, because every day you see ordinary & admirable people who marry with the best intentions in the world, but if one person becomes successful over the other, they begin to get seriously involved in other circles as they accelerate educationally & professionally to better themselves. Which the couple will consciously unbeknown to them drift apart, putting an end to they activities when they discover they have little else in common. Because they value systems they find may be entirely different an' they have little to say to one another; because now that one person feels they're in a different league—which also happens when one person excels in college. While they partners are hard at work paying the bills, the one person going to college finally understands what they been lacking in they spiritual growth to become a more successful person. An' these relationships often last a few months, a year, or a little longer, before these two people in an unbalanced relationship realize that all of a sudden, they're over.

It's important that people hook up with other people that overstand each other's racial backgrounds, that people refuse to talk about, on knowing the other's opinion about certain issues, because it's important for people to have the same value systems & to care about the same things they partner likes. Because you got so many people rushing into things because they is infatuated, without realizing that you do need the same values for a long-term relationship to work.

Because a perfect union should be founded on a shared purpose with the capacity to help each other grow. As you got to be relationship ready first: to know where you both is going & how to get there, with picturing y'all future together in moving with resoluteness & conviction into the future. Because you need to know your inner needs and how to fortify yourself. So you would not be one of two people leaning on the other for support, but two strong uprigtheous people building a strong foundation for your kids to grow, in making sure they strive to become successful.
