Relationship coach Kingsley Okonkwo has advised women to view their partners as leaders, rather than just friends or lovers.

According to him, this mindset shift can help women respect their partners more, even when they’re not perfect.

According to Okonkwo, recognising someone as a leader can change how we interact with them, and this can lead to a more positive and respectful relationship.

By seeing their partner as a leader, Okonkwo said women may be able to appreciate their partner’s different roles and qualities, and build a stronger connection.

Okonkwo said, “Ladies I want to tell you something you might not like –

Your man is not primarily your friend, lover or mate, he is first your leader.

“I told you you won’t like it…..if you don’t see him as leader you will struggle to respect him.

“If you notice you are able to treat your Boss, father or Pastor better in spite of their actions, the reason is because of where you have placed them in your heart not because they are perfect.

“It’s a small shift in mindset but it makes a big difference, once you are able to see him as leader you will unlock the friend, lover and partner in him.”
