Dear love,
I knew you were the one for me after a few run-ins in church events. Though initially we did not speak much, I felt this unexplainable peace and calmness in my heart when around you.
Also, your attention to my mannerisms and sweet soprano which became the agenda for our next chitchat made me rubber stamp that you were the one for me.
For me, love has always been a matter of principle, honesty, genuine affection, and deliberate respect for each others welfare. So, from the onset babe, you made these signs very clear to me. How I feel about myself was/and is still a concern in your life, and you communicate/affirm me lovingly and openly.
Babe, I remember how you would push me to start my first bag business which now has taken shape. You were very particular about my branding and marketing. You would even escort me to do some of my deliveries and show that you want the best for me. Now that we have become parents, I still see how you pursue me for random dates amidst our busy schedule and that makes my days.
During and after the birth of our children, I felt the magnitude of your love for me. When I was in labour you were always by my side. You rubbed my back like there was no other work left for him on this earth. In my eyes, I saw a loving man so determined to relieve me of my pain.
After getting our first son, the postpartum period was particularly heavy on me. I sometimes felt aloof and overwhelmed with the new experience of motherhood. But babe you still chose to help around and even come home quite early to spend time with me/us even though I was not at my best for you. Every time I recall this, I am drawn to remember how you love me unconditionally, and I will always love you more.
Now, the random calls and walks we take with our sons; mean the whole world to me as they not only offer a family moment but also enable us to spend some quality time with you. My greatest indicators of your love. Oh, not to mention the random road trips that you sneak in just for fun because you know that leisure drives are another love language that I fluently speak.
As the space runs out, I want to appreciate how you have held us together even when storms of life tend to capsize our boat. You remember the time when our video production business was robbed and we lost everything including our clients footage and equipment? This was our lowest point as we had lost one pivotal aspect of our livelihood, but we managed to pull through. What stood out for me was how this adversity brought us even closer to each other and we were able to bounce back bigger and better.
Even now, when business or work is not going as expected, babe you know how to calm me down. Your long gentle hugs have a way of resetting me back to normalcy. I love you so much!
Loice: I love your attentiveness and how you remember all the key datesDear love,
I want you to know that the eight years we were friends before we tied the knot was the foundation that formed our marriage.
You understand that I am a very simple and realistic person and have gravitated your love for me through simple actions like going for walks, staying at home, and having talks about our now and future.
Though this realisation came with time, I vividly recall how we did not have power and that long night we giggled and laughed about our past plus had solid conversations without being distracted by our phones or the television.
Your attentive listening and the way you genuinely engage when I speak and recall every detail have always been a reminder of your love for me. You help out with the chores, especially on those days when Im tired or come home late, has truly been the cherry on top.
And need I mention how you always remember our important dates, like anniversaries and birthdays? Random foot rubs, cooking some yummy food for us? Babe, these actions have led me to be a better wife, respectful, and also one who knows how to love and value you better.
You have always ensured that I feel loved all the time. You affirm me and say positive words about my life and my favourite charm is when you pray for me daily before going to work.
Oh, dont I love the sweet notes you leave around the house and the messages that you send me? These, and being my greatest cheerleader, go a long way.
Compromising with each other has been another demonstration of our love and respect for each other. My most challenging moments arise when I need to communicate respectfully to you on matters even though Im disappointed, dissatisfied, or even not happy with you. But it is for this reason that in our relationship we threw selfishness out the window.
Before we shortened the distance gap in our relationship, we would be caught up in a lot either work or social life but in the midst of it all, we never gave
