- Economic Dependence: Women often experience economic disparities and may be financially dependent on their partners, especially in traditional or patriarchal family structures. If their relationship ends, women will experience economic vulnerability with limited resources and unexpected financial challenges.
- Mental Health: The stress and anxiety resulting from financial infidelity can take a toll on women's mental health. They may experience depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues as they navigate the emotions of betrayal and uncertainty about their financial future.
- Limited Financial Autonomy: Financial infidelity can limit women's financial autonomy and decision-making power within the relationship. If women are unaware of their partner's financial actions or have limited access to economic resources, they will feel disempowered to make informed choices about their well-being.
- Barriers to Seeking Help: Women may face additional barriers to seeking help or leaving a relationship characterized by financial infidelity. Societal norms, cultural expectations, and the fear of judgment can deter women from seeking support or taking steps to handle their financial situation. Women may also worry about the impact financial infidelity has on their children or fear the stigma associated with spousal abandonment, divorce, or separation.
- Long-Term Financial Consequences: Financial infidelity can have long-term financial consequences for women, affecting their ability to achieve financial goals, build wealth, and secure their future. It may result in depleted savings, damaged credit, or missed opportunities for investments or career advancement.
- Impact on Children: If children are involved, financial infidelity can have ripple effects on their well-being and development. Women may bear the primary responsibility for managing household finances; ensuring their children's needs are met, placing additional strain on their emotional and financial resources.

Don't Shrink
On the other hand, when Jesus died on the Cross, He did so to express His unconditional love for humankind. He knew the shedding of His blood on the Cross would be the final time blood would have to be shed for our redemption from sin. Jesus did not shrink or go into hiding. On His journey, He would step away for restoration to continue his ministry and mission. But Jesus never went into hiding because He was clear about who He was, who He was serving, and why He was serving.
Today, many women are in relationships where they have chosen to shrink instead of allowing their love to illuminate because the true purpose of love is not prevalent in their lives. Their spouse or mate is mandating her to negate her identity in the name of love, silence her voice in the name of love, surrender her will in the name of love, and deny her truth and values all in the name of love. These requirements are debilitating! They do not help women elevate to become the best versions of themselves. And our society is replete with women experiencing abuse and being held captive in the illusion of love.
There are four types of love, Eros, Agape, Phileo, and Storge - each type serves a distinct purpose. Learn and study them to discover the ones that have been prevalent in you and your relationships. Allow God's love to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and awareness to evolve into the best version of yourself.

Faith is the Key to God's Promises
When realists work, they expect payment after completion of their project or workweek. That is unconscious faith because payment is expected, not guaranteed. Conscious faith is an unemployed person who is confident they will secure work with God's help.
Faith is not magic; it is a process of life. We are not faithless beings. The question is, where do we direct our faith and the energy we release when we exercise it? Realists may not believe in a deity like God. Their lives are inspired by what they see. People who believe in God are led by what they cannot see because their hope and assurance are in God's ability to honor His promises!

When God Made You, He Spoke to Himself!
The image of God is Triune (i.e., three beings in one)! He is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The image of man is Triune too (i.e., Soul, Body, and Spirit). Being made in God’s image reflects His holiness, His righteous, and His love. When God spoke to Himself to form humanity, He wanted to demonstrate His love through fellowship when He said, “It’s not good for man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18).
Another part of being made in God’s image is the freedom to choose. Adam and Eve were righteous until they ate the forbidden fruit (i.e., rebel against God). Their rebellion marred the image of God within themselves and their decedents. And the scars of their decision (i.e., mentally, socially, morally, and physically) are present in our lives today.
The good news is the original image of God can be restored through God’s grace and faith in Jesus Christ as our Personal Savior. Redemption is available if you need to reconnect with God or establish a relationship with Him. The choice is yours.

Identity
- Define your identity as a vessel for God; not a vessel for society.
- Identify your uniqueness as a blessing from God who’s constantly unfolding your beauty.
- Identify your shape, complexion, and size as priceless authentic fine art that can never be duplicated.
- The antidote to an identity crisis is to define or re-define your being in the sight of God and not man.
- Your identity will be recognized by the fruits they bear.
- God’s disciples are identified by the love they show to others.
- Your behavior will define your identify. So, let not your good be evil spoken of.
- Be not dismayed if you’re not identified as an important member of an ‘elite’ social group. If you’re one of God’s children, He identifies you as royalty and joint-heirs to Him.
