I first found out about Tony Gaskins when I listened to his videos on youtube. He has a lot of advice about relationships. The main premise of his platform and message is for women (and men) to not sell themselves short. No one should settle. No one should be with someone who makes them sad, cry, cheats on them, abuses them, is mean, is controlling, and so on. Gaskins notes that people make mistakes and not everything is worth breaking up over. However, he also emphasizes the power of consistency. It's one thing to mess up and make it work moving forward. It's another thing to repeatedly hurt someone over and over. If you are repeatedly being hurt, heal yourself and move on. Gaskins also talks about the importance of marriage and saving oneself for marriage. Men who string women along for years end up wasting the women's time by making her what Gaskins calls a "hold me down". Gaskins goes so far to say that most men know within a year if they want to marry someone...if not sooner. Don't be the woman waiting years for a ring. If your man is slow on commitment, get out and meet other men who will better value and appreciate you for the jewel that you are. Aside from what to avoid, much of Gaskins' book has advice for married couples on how to strengthen the relationship and keep the flame of love burning for years to come.
