1) Being single can be a rich experience, and women should not feel pressured to be in a relationship if they are not happy or feel worthless alone. 2) A strong, confident woman does not need a relationship to feel valuable and is capable of being happy on her own. She will not stay in an abusive relationship or let a man rule her life. 3) Intimacy in a relationship means honesty and sharing feelings, but it is important to do so at the right pace for both partners to feel comfortable. Commitment and marriage work best when based on love and respect rather than other reasons like family pressure.
