Let\u2019s love our partners and be there for them every time they need us. We (men) need to be an example and role models to our children. Your wife must be your friend. If needs be, let the people talk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

As we start the month of love, I appeal to everyone to do the right thing; love your partner and the people around you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a month that is dedicated to lovers and love is hard to find these days. To those who don\u2019t have partners, you mustn\u2019t give up. You must keep on searching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, this month is so special. This is the month I met my dear wife. We met exactly on Valentine\u2019s Day (14 February) in one of the retail stores in 2013. It\u2019s almost 11 years now and we\u2019ve been married for five years. We have had our ups and downs, but we are still together. We have been gifted with two children, Mivuyo (7) and Siviwe (4) and I wouldn\u2019t trade them for the world. My family completes me. They are the reason I wake up every morning and come to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I prayed for a wife, I asked God to give me someone who would understand and accept me the way I am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, my wife is keeping me on my toes. She doesn\u2019t talk a lot, but she wants everything to be in order. And I\u2019m the kind of husband who always makes noise and dances in the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always have crazy ideas. There\u2019s never been a dull moment in our house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it is not me, my children take over the baton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, this month is not like any other month. It reminds me of the day I met her \u2013 which changed my life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s love our partners and be there for them every time they need us. We (men) need to be an example and role models to our children. Your wife must be your friend. If needs be, let the people talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve heard men who love their wives accused of having eaten a love potion. If that\u2019s the case, let it be.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
