Femininity in Romantic Relationships...

I am 36 and have been married to my husband for 14 years. We have been together for 17 years. One of my tips to help accentuate my feminity is to appreciate my husband's masculinity. I'm not a damsel in distress, but I let my husband do things for me and then thank him for him. For example, he removed the heavy air conditioner from the window while I was making dinner. I was grateful to him for doing that and let him know I appreciated him taking care of that for the family. Enjoy your own feminine nature. Lean into whatever parts of womenhood you love and makes me feel good. You don't have to wear makeup, you don't have to wear high heals, but do what you like as a feminine woman.

[@ءايةمحمد]

"lean on whatever parts of womanhood you love and make you feel good" Couldn't be more apt! I have struggled a lot regarding this topic due to the immense feel failure i always get because of being unable to cope with all parts of femininity I have always had this feeling that I am not feminine enough which often rendered me giving up in despair cause changes were always slow and slight I also thought such attempts to nurture my femininity and watching such material harms me more that it benefits Reaching your conclusion makes everything easier and that is the best thing I really adore in this community...the acceptance and lack of pressure

[@jordanisabella1922]

something that i had to learn was that my man being in his provider energy (in my case) was NOT a slight to my independence. his top love language is definitely acts of service. he loves to CARE for me. he wants to put food on the table & work to pay our bills so I DONT HAVE TO, not because he thinks i cant do it. i started praising him for it, & showing him how proud of him & thankful for him i am, & we are so much happier now.

Why would you want to be independent of your Husband in the first place? Were you formerly a feminist or a "men are trash" girl?

[@blossomwithgrace]

“Do it without criticizing and offering advice” takes femininity to the next level! ❤

[@MrsMidwest]

And it’s difficult! Especially when you’re first building the skill 😂

[@kiera6326]

Is it okay if I ask, what is wrong with offering advice?

[@blossomwithgrace]

@@kiera6326 Hello. Sure 🙂 I suppose it’s a bit arrogant to assume it’s warranted.

[@kiera6326]

@@blossomwithgrace I feel moreso that advice shows that somebody cares, whether it’s warranted or not. I think that if you have advice to offer, it’s best to share it unless you feel that what you say would upset the other person, or they have said they don’t want advice from you.

[@blossomwithgrace]

@@kiera6326 I feel your intentions are kind. Unsolicited advice can be a bit intrusive. It certainly has a place in parenting where guidance is needed. But in the role of wife or friend, it is often received as condescending and dismissive even when given with the best intentions. It has been a hard pill for me to swallow because I placed much of my value if not all in “helping” in this way. Allowing others to choose if they want to hear my advice is a way I honor everyone’s boundaries. Surely I do not wish to rob anyone (especially men) of the opportunity to learn and grow on their own accord. Warm body language and an attentive listening ear shows great honor, love, respect, and care. 🌸

[@kindred.7313]

For me what helped a lot was also: I got very anxious super easily and it caused me interrupting him a lot, looking for that security everywhere. Recently I got super invested in looking pretty again and more put together, as well as leaving him alone a bit and not talking like a fountain all the time. Also not being up in his business so much, just let him make the decisions. And guess what happened after less than 24h? He came to me on his own, kissing me so passionately and it was amazing❤

[@bros4654]

Makes sense to me! As a man, there's something about being given our space that just feeds our desire for intimacy, I think.

Regarding listening, a little story. I recently asked my husband to explain something banking/mortgage related (he’s been a banker for years and is my expert 😂) and after he explained it I said “thank you for helping me understand that so well” and he LIT UP. It made me sooo happy to see him feel good and strong in his knowledge. I think I’ll start thanking my husband for taking the time to explain things to me more often 💛

I love everything you have to say here. I've been married for 10 years and have 2 kids with 1 on the way. The biggest thing I've learned is to be confident and comfortable with yourself, dress how you like, look how you want to look and naturally you will give off positive energy which will attract your partner. Also, about nurturing masculinity, I've seen so many women who treat their partners like children or a pet- "I can change him, I can train him, he is just clueless etc" this needs to stop. Nurture your husband as a person and the masculine energy will naturally appear. So many people force these things when they appear naturally often

Caitlin, you make femininity sound so nice! I love how you pointed out that not offering advice doesn’t mean you are quiet and powerless, it just means you don’t have to be someone’s manager at the moment… which I didn’t even realize it until you said it but I feel like that ALL THE TIME. 😂 It really does sound freeing to let him be the man and take care of you! Also, I just started taking piano lessons and I’ve noticed that when I spend time practicing because it’s something I enjoy, rather than running around the house trying to get a million things done, my husband seems so much more attracted to me. So working on yourself and your hobbies does seem to work if you want to keep your relationship healthy. Thank you for another great video 💕

[@foxyknowledgeseeker1]

Caitlin, yours was one of the first channels I started following 4ish years ago when I first started reconnecting with my femininity. Sometimes I find it hard to believe I was a feminist for a good 10 years. The indoctrination I was put through at college made me lose sight of my true feminine power, my role in relationships as a woman etc. I was always miserable and strong masculine energy in women is obviously going to push men away (actually I'm also put off my masculine women). I went from thinking all men are trash to realising that I'm not harnessing my femininity enough to see the best in a man. Of course society now has created a whole lot of commitment phobia in people where casual relationships seem interesting to people. But I'm standing my ground and not giving into this trend and nurturing my feminine energy in preparation for the man I'm meant to be with. I've never been happier!

[@patrice6139]

Your advice made me think back on the times when I just listened to my bf. He'd vent about what was on his mind and I just listened and held his hand.

I needed this video a year ago! Growing up in a big family full of sisters I got too used to doing it all myself. In my mind, we were all strong women and knew what we needed and how to accomplish it. My partner loves to help, but doesn't always do the best job; and I have been guilty of pointing that out. So much so, that there are things he tells me he's "scared" he'll do them wrong so he doesn't do them anymore :( My partner is on a trip and I'm looking forward to putting all of this into practice when he gets back! It's time for me to fully lean into my femininity and bring it back into my relationship :)

[@nicoobrowner]

The whole idea of allowing yourself to receive is something I had completely lost in my relationship! When I started watching more redpill content which was good to learn what men like, I unintentionally lost some of my femininity mindset because I became obsessed with being traditional! I wanted to prove myself as the perfect traditional woman for him and convinced myself that I ws not doing enough to show how much I loved him or valued him. I lost a bit of my spark and started to believe I didn't deserve gifts from him anymore and that somehow, I had to pay him back for them in similar ways because I felt like I owed him. I even stopped persuing my creative hobbies that he was so enchanted by, I slept very late to make time to talk to him, I panicked of losing him, and I totally I lost my charm, mystery and femininity! 🤣 My dad was the one who pointed it out to me, I have to unlearn some things and this video has been so educational for me. I needed these reminders to learn how to rest in the care of a masculine man. 🥰

[@treearoha]

I’m so grateful to have this relationship advice series from you. I didn’t have a very good example of a healthy, loving relationship growing up so I’ve struggled a lot in my previous relationships. I’m 25 now and have been with my current partner for 9 months. I knew he was my soulmate from the moment I met him and we were in a relationship one month later. He’s the first man my life that’s been so understanding and accepting of my feminine differences. He embraces my more emotional nature and makes me feel like my feminine, nurturing qualities are of value to him instead of just being annoying. Unfortunately I still had a lot of toxic qualities in the very beginning of our relationship because all my life I’d learnt to react out of fear instead of love. But he never ran away, never got angry never made me feel bad. Instead he just lead by example with how he chose to react to me in those situations and it really opened my eyes to a whole new way of functioning in a relationship. I think that’s when I really fell in love with him and I decided then and there I was going to go on a mission to relearn everything I thought I knew about love and relationships. I’ve been coming to your videos a lot for that and I also started reading the empowered wife. I’ve literally never been happier or felt more secure in a relationship before since I started applying such basic concepts. It really does just come down to finding that empowerment in your own life and the ability to be happy without depending on your partner/husband. When you do that, you hold space for a healthy, functioning, thriving relationship because neither of you are being suffocated anymore. So Thankyou again for these videos for for the book recommendation. It’s been life changing! ❤

That's a tough decision! Have you talked about doing something that incorporates both?

I eventually went with growing a long, full mohawk... that way, we both get the best of both of those worlds. It looks good in a ponytail. It looks good down. It looks good braided, thanks to my nordic heritage. It's less maintenance than a full head of thick hair, and it's not something you see every day around here!

[@Marie-Christine-]

Several great points you made! Nurturing ourselves and our hobbies and the feminine energies it produces that radiates within our environment, exploring our styles that make us happy that our husbands loved us about us (I'm single lol), listening to him and thanking him for all he does to provide for you and the family. As said, I'm single but would ultimately like to find "the one." When I'm on a date with a guy, I feel a bit guilty he'd open the door for me or pays for our food at a restaurant because I do things myself to avoid him doing everything for me, because I don't automatically expect him to-- but in doing everything, he'd be confused to why I didn't want anything he's providing, insisting he take care of everything rather than let me pay. Unbeknownst to me, this is the masculine man's way of showing me he wants to make me happy and wants to demonstrate how he's a provider. As such, I thank him for all he does, show my gratitude, always listen even if I don't understand, because I want to show I care. Also too it doesn't take much for me to be happy, ordering a sweet tea or just spending time with him at the park or mall on a date is a huge honor in itself. I'd be classified as a "cheap date" but I'm fine with that lol. I'm still struggling with this to this day but I'm understanding more that this is the man's way of showing his affection for the woman and trust in him to let him take the lead. It's really nice to slip into my femininity and be myself around a man that appreciates and likes that about me and wants to protect and care for me. Vice versa I want my man to know he can fully step into his masculinity around me which I like about him. Thank you for guiding even the singles in the feminine family ☠😭😂 Your channel helps in numerous ways to nurture that feminine energy but in a way that's not preachy and condescending that some other channels I've discovered on this journey typically give off. Also, Lord knows how many times I've seen and heard others categorize these sort of traditional dichotomies as "backwards" and here you are, eloquently breaking misconceptions about society's perception and dare I say demonization of femininity.

In todays world this needs to be talked about a lot. It is not a time machine or old fashioned.

Parents and grandparents, especially European grandparents, have seen such hard times in their lifetime, it can be comforting to know everything will be ok! Xo

[@brianhinze9989]

I’m high jacking my husband’s account here - I also live in Europe. For me, it has been helpful to consider how vital our role is as wives, mothers, sisters in times of stress. We can bring calm strength to our families. If we get upset and stressed, we place an extra burden on our relationships rather than pour energy into then. Don’t get me wrong - there is absolutely a time and a place for leaning on your close relationships and mutually supporting each other. I just mean that it is encouraging to think that we do have strength to give and that our strength is all the more important during difficult times. We cannot change the crises around us by worrying about them, but we can build up those around us if we focus on keeping calm and exuding peacefulness.

[@Charetty]

I also live in Europe. But only focussing on bad news, put's your life on hold. You don't want to look back at the end of your life and hold regrets. I think there are so many places where you can focus on the negative, but there is also a lot of positive things to focus on. I had my first child during the corona pandemic. And it was my greatest blessing. Wish you all the best

I’m totally crocheting a scarf while listening to this! ❤ I love all that you said especially about hobbies. Just a few of all my hobbies are knitting/crochet & soap making. It’s so fun! I encourage each of you to find something that you truly enjoy. It makes such a difference. 😊

13:06 I completely agree! I do however, make sure to gravitate towards his favorite colors when buying new clothes or putting together outfits. He *loves* green, and thankfully for me, green is a gorgeous and flattering color on me (plus, it highlights my green eyes) 💚 Love your content, Caitlyn! You have definitely helped me in regards to leveling-up and polishing my femininity 💖

[@sirenonland3454]

Your channel is such a breath of fresh air and sanity! So tired of everyone pushing to be in a masculine.

[@wolfsmaid6815]

my husband really hates bangs, while I love them. So I cut quite a long side fringe and he hasn´t noticed so far.^^ (3 months in) you are absolutely right^^

[@musicalmoose8468]

Caitlin! You are giving us the content we need! Thank you so much! I’m getting married in two days! 💕

[@jmr8265]

Congratulations!! God bless you and your husband 💕

[@swelnel1669]

I’m thankful for this!! I was irritated at my husband over something petty and thought “maybe a Mrs Midwest video about relationships can help my attitude” 😂 and here we are! Ladies who are new, I totally recommend her other videos. Her advice is godly if not outright biblical sometimes and has helped me a lot in my marriage

[@euphoricleo]

I like how you add in stuff from the empowered wife. Got the book because of you. 😘

[@MrsMidwest]

I can’t help but add it because it’s been such a positive influence LOL!

[@summerswanson6341]

Same here!

[@zeenkosis]

Same here. I work as well but I've been incorporating the lessons and loving the result and I genuinely feel better💕

[@megandeane663]

Always so grateful for these videos! You’re the one who started me on my femininity journey, it feels like facetiming my big sister in Michigan! 💕 lots of love from Ireland ❤️

[@emilielantz826]

After being single for 6 years I’ve been talking to someone, who I think is my person that God has been preparing me for! This was such an encouragement as a single mom handling everything 😭 all the time, never prioritizing myself 🥺 so thank you for this video it truly blessed me! And say a prayer for Jack & I 🙏🏼 He comes to see me for our 2nd time in 30 days! He truly is the man I have been praying for 💜 hugs from CA!

[@leaticiabalson5230]

Praying it works out for you.

[@noelly2398]

Mrs. Midwest, you’re honestly of the most inspiring, intelligent, cultured, and amazing women I’ve ever encountered. Thanks for being the best big sister I’ve never had 🥹 would love any advice on how to kinder that feminine energy as my husband and I are currently long distance. Lots of love and may God bless you ❤

[@oldsoul2116]

Thanks for the video! It’s super nice knowing there are people like me out there 😊

[@MrsMidwest]

Yes! The comment section is full of them!! ❤❤❤

[@ninareis8131]

Smile. Be joyful! ❤

[@angieweathers7180]

Pinkish blush would look even more amazing on you than orange one

[@GodSoLoved.Yeshua]

I prioritized exercise, even after having 4 little ones, for myself, my kids and my spouse. SUPER important to also spend the morning in God's Word with coffee. Takes the focus off myself and my husband and puts in the Almighty God.

[@paulrodriguez8852]

I agree with you on most of your point's Being a man? I agree that some guy's are not looking for a relationship or marriage. Hook up culture has taught them sleeping with someone is enough? Just selfish self gratification. My hope is that there are still guy's who are willing to commit to someone who is has more femininity.

[@saisafetytrends]

you are right about needing to do self care as a high priority as a woman and wife

[@Shasta31487]

Also, a helpful tip as a wife and mom, lead by example and if it bothers you, fix it. Not everyone is going care if there are socks on the ground, but it if bugs you, fix it, and lead by example. You don't need to stress over every hill.

[@StephiRaye]

as a new stay at home mom, this advice is super helpful and practical!! thanks so so much!! i love how positive you are 🧡

[@LifeWithTarsha]

This is actually super helpful. The content was not that obvious based on the title and it really gave me some things to think about. Thanks!

[@TheBiblicalHomemaker]

So excited for this! I loved your femininity series, and it’s how I found you!!! 🥰🤗 Such an inspiration!

[@juliam..glaser6126]

Also i think it’s important to nourish your body- eat healthy, drink enough water and take care of your health, go to the doctors regularly and have a checkup

[@weloveTM123]

Always a joy to watch your videos. You're on point, Caitlin!

[@MargaretQ]

No one puts you in a box Cait! I’ve been following since the beginning on my own journey. I had a homemaking blog I may restart and I always felt that I was trying to answer to other womens ideas of femininity and not my own! Esp as a Christian there can be an idea of rules other women want to push on one another that aren’t what work for me - mostly dress. I love this video - so much of femininity is that attitude that is bright - and that does include having hobbies, interests of your own.

[@Kate-tj4ju]

Im literally only 30 seconds into this video but your fringe is soooo gorgeous 😭😭😭 it’s giving 70s vibes and you look like a dreamy airy goddess

[@yosisricks40]

That lighting is gorgeous!

[@jeannetempest9127]

I am single mom that took 3 years to heal from toxic relationship. I had very serious one for nearly 9 years so recently I met a very masculine man, a provider type but I feel like I lack of experience how to behave more feminine around a masculine man. So I am very grateful for this video. Just on type

[@hayleymilroy9348]

This video resonated with me soooo much! It’s like you put all my thoughts and feelings into words! Thanks for the great videos!

[@madelineamanda9272]

girl you are GLOWING!! i love it 😭

[@ocleadinlady]

Glad you’re back to this content

[@themakingsofeveryday]

Your recommendation of The Empowered Wife has already helped me so much. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!!

[@morganalexis6147]

@Mrs.Midwest, your hair looks INCREDIBLE!!! Love love love it 😍. It's such an effortless beauty look

[@ChibiGrl]

You’re so pretty and I love your content ❤I love being feminine, not in a relationship yet but I hope I can find him in the future

[@MrsMidwest]

Absolutely! What a wonderful stage of life you’re in. So many possibilities!! 🎉

[@mileyfan890ify]

I love the lighting in this video. Great content too ❤

[@MrsMidwest]

The bedroom is one of my more peaceful places to record! I’m just glad that everyone is tolerant of the changing backgrounds and low quality setup 😅

[@MorenitaBonita19]

This was amazing and so helpful as we endeavor to be feminine in our relationships ☺️🌸✨ Absolutely LOVED this!! ~ The Pretty Conservative 🤍

[@sofiaperez1859]

hi caitlin! i’ve been following since i was really young and now i am older and still no advice is quite like yours ❤️ hope you continue to give it more like you used to, wonderful video!

[@pamelacheek75]

Such great advice especially when women traditionally want to take care of everything!

[@anarinaldi]

I would like to receive advice about femininity being single (without focus too much on looking for a relationship). Love your channel. Kisses from Brazil 🥰

[@kittycouturee]

You have a really pretty voice. It’s so soothing to listen to.

[@theparttimehomemaker]

I didn't know about the tip to not offer our husband advice about work unless he asks. I don't think I do this but I'll definitely bear it in mind! I say thank you for every little thing he does, too- making him feel appreciated is one of my biggest priorities!

[@toniyah5381]

Whenever i first started dating my husband i thought that I was in my feminine but now after 8 months of marriage i realize that I've been doing a lot of things wrong. I'm now trying to fall back into a more feminine role but it's hard because I was raised in a single parent home and I realize that I don't know what it is to have peace within the home.

[@Candice_Jean]

I understand what your saying. I am realizing that was my situation as well. Your not alone in learning this 😊

[@alaiaadam5767]

🌙🌙🌙 14:40 Keep the element of mystery alive ✔️ ✨ 16:30 Nice alternatives ( Saleeqa Sharista) 17:57 CS ( Be a good listener👂 without offering unneeded advise) - men flok❤ Bss

[@squreshi8413]

Best advice. I hope I remember to show my daughter in 24 years when she gets married haha

[@marciayoder2437]

Thanks so much for the inspiring video, I can honestly say it's one of my favorite ones on feminity so far, I've been in a great relationship for several months now, but I needed this so much rite now, a reminder to find what nurtures our femine spirit & , take care of ourselves without guilt, have fresh motivation ,and excited to see wat these changes will do in my relationship😘~ thanks again, love your happy ,joyful personality!✨️🌞

[@jessicanelson7081]

Caitlin, I appreciate these videos! I am single and starting fresh with transforming myself into a more feminine woman. Could you do an updated video on how to attract a masculine man in the dating period? I tend to think a man wants a strong, independent woman so I can tend to hide my femininity. Thank you!

[@romysv]

Offff this!!!!

[@kayleenchenette7180]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been watching you for a few years now and I love the advice you give. I got married at the end of August and now I have a man to use this wonderful advice on! I hope you and your sweet little family are doing well. :)

[@BrittanyJeanThrifts]

Stubbled upon this on “accident”, and wow did this really help me with where I’m at right now! Thank you 🙏❤️ Being a stay at home mom now for 3 years has really thrown me off and I’ve forgotten about myself and I almost need to get to know me all over again. I also enjoy making videos but haven’t been consistent due to poor time management, I’m ready to revamp and get back into a flow! Thank you😁

[@angiee3419]

Hi I'm a 27 year old single woman is study at home and yeah i also feel i thrown me off too

[@arubashanty325]

I found your channel and caught my total attention, I'm really excited because you include hijiabi woman, Thank you so much you're so sweet 🌸🌸🌸

[@annaspeaksout]

Oh my gosh, that intro about having to take the opportunity when you have it to record rings so true for me as a creator with a 6 month old!!

[@MrsMidwest]

Girl good on you for creating with such a young baby!! I totally fail at that 😂

[@annaspeaksout]

@@MrsMidwest Haha, thank you... I probably need more balance though because I did it yesterday instead of napping while baby was and started getting snappy.

[@RedAndTheCompany567]

I believe that when you're in a relationship, you can bring out the best in your man it he's willing to also bring out the best in you. ❤️ *Partnership* ❤️

[@jeaeun7338]

I love your content ♡ Thank you. And your bangs look so good 😊

[@rachelspohn]

Please do a video on home decorating on a budget! I love to decorate also, but we are paying down debt, so have to stay out of places like hobby lobby, etc. Would love to hear a monthly budget number that you think is reasonable… And all the tips!

[@ItsFariana]

Aww Keep It up Our feminine whatever you are teaching is a wisdom many Few Know Thank you Alot ❤ Stay Feminine and modest 😍👑 Our Queen

[@Lauren-se5bu]

Congrats!

[@paigeau7516]

Yeessss I'm so excited to watch! I hope you and your family are doing well, God bless ❤️❤️

[@maeowen8495]

Ironically, I am more inspired to be in my feminine energy in the company of other feminine women. Masculine energy people don't bring it out of me at all.

[@emacwakeup]

This was so helpful. I need to work on not interrupting my partner. It's impulsive and I need to stop and slow down. Thanks for this.
