Beyond the content of The Woman's Bait series and the book, there is a remarkable story of commitment, dedication, and consistency that I hope the reader appreciates.
For years, I heard people say, “marry your friend.” It seemed unrealistic. “Friendships take time to build,” I thought. I was wrong, and they were right.
The woman’s bait - Part 16 // Marital Drama

My son, I’ll let you in on a secret. Women value consistency more than big gestures. A man that finds out how she’s doing every morning earns more points than one who buys her a car on her birthday. A man that leaves kameza money earns more points than one who pays the rent.

My son, pay extra attention to the woman that sees you before you sell yourself to her. A woman that buys into your potential is easier to satisfy than one who buys into your resources. If ever you fail at providence, that potential she saw, might fight for you.
My son, consistency is one of the hardest pursuits. Quite often we fail at it, but that’s okay. What matters is that you got up and started walking again. Whether you ran, walked or crawled is secondary, what matters primarily is that you crossed the finish line.
