Support his Passion

This past weekend I watched VH1's Love and Hip Hop for the first time. While most of it was a train wreck of smack talking and fisticuffs - the one thing that really left an impression on me was Chrissy Lampkin, the fiancee of rapper Jim Jones.

Chrissy Lampkin and Jim Jones

One scene in particular, was when she attended one of Jim's shows, and how she was happy to be able to attend. When I saw this scene, a light bulb went off in my head.

Chrissy dressed up and came out to support her man. Dolled up in uncomfortable high heel shoes, she rode with a friend to one of Jim's concerts. There were no complaints, and when she saw him on stage she was electrified.

How amazing and simple is that? I think Chrissy actually gets it - rest of her antics on the show nonwithstanding - but in order to be that supportive partner you have to really take an interest in what your significant other is doing. Don't complain about it. Don't brow beat his efforts. Just take an interest in what he's doing.

How many women out there today are actually showing the support that Chrissy Lampkin did for Jim Jones during one of his concerts? How many women are attending work functions or give support to their significant others?

Now not everyone can have a passion that is as (interesting) as Jim's, but women should still cherish what their men do. It would go a long way to helping the relationship flourish.
