Relationships and Systems to
Advance Women
LOVE
IS POWER
Now more than ever, it is as powerful
as a nuclear weapon, or it can be as
powerful as the nuclear family. The
nuclear family has been changing. It9s
shifted. Its dynamic is diferent. More
than not, so many families do not have
the traditional mother and father both
at home, so that calls for systems. We
have to realign ourselves to what works
in today9s domestic, international,
spiritual, and emotional demands,
such as 8we want to have a wholeness
in life.9
We need a wholeness in order to have
a holy life and a fulolled life. If all that
we have is fragments in our minds,
hearts, pockets, and in our purpose,
we9ll never be whole. Now family has
always realigned us, that we were parts,
we became the whole, and became one.
The oneness of love, the oneness of
family, the oneness of understanding
are more, now than ever, diïcult to
ond as an individual.
Dr. Glenn Toby, Shares His Wisdom , Understanding, and
Perspective on Relationships and systems
Systems have to come into place.
Historically if you look back at it, it
was founded through the church.
The teachings of people who went
through dating, or grade school, or just
childhood love that had respect. They
respected their parents and what their
parents wanted for them. Their morals
were diferent. But, the social demands

and the pressures were diferent.
If none of the old school systems are
working, we as a group of people need
systems, which means individuals need
to be aligned to the system that they9re
going to eventually go into. That system
could be one of the traditional husband
and wife. It could be the lady that is
completely single and never wants to
marry or have children, but she still
needs to align to a greater system. Her
neighbor may have children or the
family upstairs might be married and
may provide some part of that systemic
environment neccesary.
The fastest and strongest way for a
woman to get to her mission, and we
pray it is mission-minded by spirit,
mind, body, soul, and with great
purpose. There are a lot of ladies, but
very few women left. There are a lot of
males and guys, but there are very few
men left. We have to align the men and
the women up in a way that they can
lead the ladies and the guys. It9s like a
tier system, like building up.
Women have to start charting and
planning out their life. They really
shouldn9t be afraid to. With these
freedoms that women have had over the
last 40 years, women are now charting
out what they want in their life. What
they expect from a man, what they can
no longer accept, what is missing or
