Sometimes I wonder what the world would look like without the sight of a woman in it. The Razzmatazz, beauty, ‘busyness’, and all–little wonder God made things the way they are. To all men out there-especially the married ones, it must have always been a mind boggling task to woo the lady of your dreams…given that the absence of one…is easily spotted. I have often heard people tell a guy, wow, that woman (wife, fiancee, mother etc.) is a blessing/an asset to you. The very common one  is when you listen to a man’s speech in a gathering—be it (religious, social, political, business, etc.)–mostly the married folks, and he goes; I want to first and foremost, thank my wife,(mother, best friend, mother of my children, sister, and many other acronyms that fits his description), who has been my pillar, backbone, strength, bae, best friend, eye, etc. It usually makes me feel we are a special breed– which is true, no need to be polite on this one. I pride myself in all true women out there, whose dignity and prowess speak thunderous volumes!

Here are 3 major things the modern man should celebrate concerning his woman:

  1. She cares for the family

Her day begins with thinking about what to make for breakfast. She is there to take care of your kids and parents including friends and siblings; if you know what I mean. She leaves her own family and settles in your house with little or no assurance of what the future holds in stock for both of you. She provides that emotional, moral and mental strength that each member of the family needs. Her care is the backbone on which a beautiful nest called “home” rests on.

she cares for your kids

  1. She compromises more

Compromise come from both parties involved in a relationship, however, she is the first to initiate one. It is she who changes her home first and foremost and cuts down on her high standards to live with you. She compromises a few hours of sleep, so that you can reach the office earlier than usual etc. The woman compromises the dearly awaited weekend date just because you plan a sudden trip or event. I know this happens in both sides, but it is more like a natural occurrence with the woman and she simply gives her blessings with such a deep understanding. She sends your kids to school, packing up their lunch and yours, she takes care of the home and buys groceries; all these are besides her (own) work, because even though she goes to an office every day, she does housekeeping every other day–one way or the other. Her typical routine ranges from cleaning, sweeping, washing, cooking, nursing, teaching, gardening, shopping, caring etc. even as she finds time out for reading, attending important functions asides her work and every other thing she is passionate about.

The Sophisticated Woman!

  1. She gives you the “space” you need

Thumps us to the 21st century woman! Everything about you is tattooed on this woman’s palms. Before being your lady, she was your best friend and understands you well. She trusts you, doesn’t doubt you, except she wants to make her inquiries which has further positioned her as the unseen eye in the home that runs through everything. She accepts that you must be busy and as such, must be the reason; you are not home yet or haven’t been able to answer her calls. She knows that while you’re at work, you prefer to stay focused and motivated. She gives you the space and trust, to speak the truth about your past relationships. She supports your club even though she finds little interest in sports, but because she wants you to enjoy your space in the house or before your friends; she suddenly learns to develop interest. She understands that one weekend every now and then belongs to your friends. Isn’t it rather amazing?

Kudos to every woman who reads this to realize they are special and cheers to the men who read this and appreciates her lover the more!

She doesn’t need praises only on International Women Day or on her birthday or anniversary, but needs your acknowledgement, time, commitment and smiles daily. She needs a strong relationship to be the woman of your dreams!!!
