It's essential to establish a clear delineation between work and personal life to fully embrace the feminine role and be present in the relationship. Communication and trust are key to ensuring a harmonious dynamic. Additionally, women should not feel that they have become the masculine partner in the relationship just because they are handling the finances. Instead, they should focus on being present and receiving love in their personal life.
