6 Traits of a Supportive Woman

“Behind every great man is a great woman”

A supportive partner can make a real difference in your life and rather than standing behind you she will stay next to you, as an equal. Thus, I believe that if you can find a great man, he will always have a great woman by his side. And by “great” I do not refer strictly to financial potency, but a lot more than that. It is about depth of personality, strength of character, confidence, compassion and courage.

A great man will always inspire respect and admiration, his friends would always stick by his side and his family would be proud of him, but most of all he would have a strong and supportive woman who is always by his side. You should ask yourself if you have that kind of woman next to you. Is she a woman who would cheer you up when you need it, criticize you in a constructive way and make you feel you want to become a better man? Here are some of the traits of a great woman.

Loyalty

You can give your all to a woman and receive nothing in return, but if she truly loves you she will always take your side and fight for you against the whole world. Loyalty is not only about monogamy (which is non-negotiable), but it is also about committing yourself to your partner and supporting him no matter what. Standing by his side even when all else fails.

She challenges you

 If she is the kind of partner who always challenges you to become a better person and constantly develop, then she’s a keeper. After many years spent together, many couples let routine get over their lives and thus they no longer encourage each other to grow.

A woman who wants the best for you is not afraid to encourage you to stay fit, make you eat healthier and work better. I am not talking about nagging, but challenging. However, you also need to be willing to change for the better.

She inspires you

If you feel like she is an example for you only by the way she speaks and behaves, then you certainly have a great woman by your side. Of course physical attraction is important and catches the eye, but a wise woman will always make you wiser as well.

She brings you down to earth

A woman who loves you will definitely be proud of you, but at the same time she will not let you rest on your laurels. Whenever your pride stands in your way she will bring you down to earth and make a better man out of you.

She is capable of sacrificing

Do not expect her to leave everything for you and give up everything she likes just to please you. Nevertheless, if you notice she sacrificed her time or something she liked to help you or simply to be with you, appreciate it!

She Loves and Cares for You

Men also need love and at the end of a rough day what can be better than a woman’s gentle touch? If you have a woman who loves you unconditionally and is there for you whenever you need it, praise her, but always keep in mind that love is a two-way street. In order to keep balance in your relationship you should also be ready to do all the above for her as well.
