Three Things a Woman Must Provide for Herself

Nothing in this life is guaranteed, least of all love. The fallout from a divorce can be devastating. Therefore, this list of three things a woman will provide for herself goes beyond the single young female, encompassing women of every relationship status and age.

Home

The first thing that a woman will provide for herself is a home. Not every one is inclined to buy a home and I am not purporting to claim that as the only good choice. However, a woman must be able to secure her own home, whether it be through ownership or renting. Home provides a foundation. It is a haven from the worries and hurts of the world. It is protection from the elements. No one, least of all a woman, should ever be without her own home. Men come and go, and with them homes. A strong woman will make sure that she has a home of her own, or is capable of securing one at the drop of a hat.

Money

Money is necessary for the purchase or rental of a home, as well as for all that is necessary to upkeep the home such as repairs, utilities, even food and water. Again, it is foolish to depend on a man for these provisions. A strong woman will determine what kind of income she must make in order to live the way she chooses. If her happiness is dependent on a job that does not bring in a large income, then she must determine to live well within her means. Her budget must center on her home and health care. Transportation is another important thing to consider. The strong and independent woman will do the necessary research in order to determine the best choices on which to spend her money. She will also insure that it is her name, and her name only, on any and all titles and deeds. If, however, she is married, that may not be a valid option. It is imperative in that case to make certain that her name is on the title and or deed along with her husband's name. Too many women find themselves left without any leverage in a divorce due to having trusted a man to take care of everything himself. They fall for the "don't worry your pretty little head" line. Big mistake.

Friends/Social Life

Thankfully, this is the exception to the rule, but sometimes women find themselves involved with men who slowly and methodically isolate them from their friends and family. A strong woman will be aware of this possibility and alert to any indications that such a thing is beginning to occur. No woman should be without a support system. This includes a support system beyond her significant other. A strong woman is able to maintain her romantic relationship while simultaneously keeping her friends and family close.

Strong women take care of themselves.
