what is love?
Love has been in existence since time immemorial and it is as old as time itself. You don't really have to find it, it rather finds you and when it does, it never never lets go. Well almost never let go.

Defining love has been one of the complex structures I have witnessed so far. Some would say love is patient, others say love is caring, love is kind, love is sacrifice, love is where the heart goes, it is bitter-sweet, it knows no limits and a lot of other definitions.
Truth is, love is all that and beyond.
I personally like the bitter-sweet qualification we give to love and it is as true as it gets. It could make you cry, laugh, swear, get you insanely outraged or insanely elated. It's simply beautiful so much so that, even when it hurts you, love never leaves.
Finding things that are admirable about loved ones vary from person to person. It could range from the complex to the simplest, depending on taste, appeal and attraction. And I have a couple of things I admire in a partner.
The top on the list is maturity.
The hard truth is that Not all adults qualifies as matured. There are some that would need some growing up to do to fit the criteria of a matured person. I would want my man to be a full blown matured adult. I admire that and it would mean the person would know his left from his right. He would be able to take calculative decision and make positive contributions for the growth of the relationship

I admire expressiveness
I love to be expressive and I would love for my man to be same. Some relationships do encounter more challenges than they should due to lack of expression or Communication. Communication is a very healthy exercise to uphold. Sometimes some men tend to do less of this but I'd prefer my partner to openly discuss whatever about his displeasures and pleasures. communicate when something doesn't sit right.
It is not just limited to open conversations but emotional expression too. Show me you love me not just by word of mouth but through your actions too. If you are not happy about something, don't keep it, if you are excited about something, say it. If you miss me, don't expect me to be a mind reader and guess, or you wait till I tell you, "babe I miss you" before you say it back😁. If you want to gift me something, don't wait till it's my birthday, valentine day,. christmas or any other festive season.🤗🤗🤗
Truly I admire when my man doesn't go all macho about his emotions and openly talk to me. It helps me understand him better and know what to do and what not to do.
