A ‘Female-Led Relationship’ (FLR) is a term that refers to a type of relationship where the woman holds the power or control in the relationship.
Wanting to be in a Female-Led Relationship is not is not very ‘in vogue’ at the moment, and I’m sure that many women don’t feel like they are even able to explore that side of themselves without losing their desirability.
Others have no idea how fun it can be to be the one in charge, wanting their partner to be the decision-maker and traditionally ‘masculine,’ not realising that not every relationship has to stick to traditional gender roles.
With that in mind, I put together a list of some of the benefits of being in a Female-Led Relationship.
5 Amazing Benefits of Being in a Female-Led Relationship
1. Exciting games
No matter how old we get, or how wonderful our life is, we all need an escape from our regular lives sometimes.
Some people find that escape through video games, sport, or playing the guitar, while those in a Female-Led Relationship may create fun challenges and tasks for their partner.
For example, a woman in a FLR might decide to invite the girls round for a night of pizza and wine, while their boyfriend acts as the group’s personal butler.
This can be a wonderful and constructive escape from daily life, and the scenarios and characters that you come up with may help you to discover parts of yourself that you didn’t even know existed!
What’s more, the anticipation and excitement of planning a new scene will definitely make those long days in the office less dull!
2. Discover a new side of yourself
Embracing your dominant side can mean allowing your powerful side to come forward.
Letting this authoritative side of you out can also be super empowering – after all, you have always had these facets to you, you’ve just never granted them permission to bloom before! As the psychoanalyst Carl Jung would say, it is about integrating your Shadow, the hidden and rejected self.
This can lead to you growing and changing in other areas of your life, as you find yourself more able to be assertive in situations that may demand it, or more seductive and able to get what you want where you may previously have shrunk into the background. You will be able to command the respect that you may not always receive in life, and this is perhaps one of the greatest reasons there is to begin a Female-Led Relationship.
3. Being treated like a queen
If you enter into a Female-Led Relationship, your partner will dedicate his entire life to pleasing you and making your life as easy and comfortable as possible. Maybe that will mean running a hot bath for you each evening, massaging your tired feet after a long day at work, carrying your shopping bags around town on the hottest day of the year.
It may also mean that he totally takes over the housework (and is happy about it!), spoils you more financially, or tells you that you’re a goddess 500 times a day.
However your partner’s worship of you manifests, you can guarantee that you are going to see a dramatic change in how you are treated.
4. Rebel Against Society
Society teaches women that our job in life is to appease, satisfy, and placate men.
This is true, not just in relationships, but in the workplace as well.
Being in a Female-Led Relationship will allow you to squash that notion completely and you can order your partner to placate, appease and satisfy you instead.
Your lightest wishes will be treated as urgent commands, and every part of you will be worshipped, from the top of your head to the tip of your perfectly pedicured toenails.
5. Grow Closer to Your Partner
You cannot have a strong and fulfilling Female Led Relationship without trust and intimacy.
You also have to learn what your partner’s wants, needs and limits are and how to respect them.
As well as building trust in the relationship, sharing your innermost desires with your partner creates a strong bond between you both.
A relationship where both partners have open communication, trust each other, feel connected and bonded to one another, and understand themselves on a deep level is a relationship worth being in, reducing conflict and creating loyalty and closeness.
Female-Led Relationships – Final Thoughts
As you can hopefully see, there are many benefits to exploring a Female-Led Relationship.
Are you guaranteed to love it? No!
You might hate it, it might bore you, or you may find it really unattractive seeing your partner take on a more traditionally ‘feminine’ or ‘submissive’ role.
That’s all fine!
I don’t consider myself to be in Female-Led Relationship per se, although I do like to think that as somebody who is somewhat of an ‘Alpha’ female, and my boyfriend brings me coffee in bed almost every morning and treats me like a queen.
