The wise lover

Love is like wind; you can't see it, but you can always feel it.

Sometimes, it's hard to understand what Love is, and we become stagnated by the idea the media throws at us. Travelling abroad, doing luxury shopping, and eating at fancy restaurants seem to be the most common ideas attached to Love.

While taking care of little things daily, making small sacrifices daily like leaving that last bite of your favourite pizza for your partner to see her beautiful smile, taking out those few hours from your busiest days just to listen to your partner, giving her back massage at night even when you are dead tired, calming her nervous system when kids take a toll on her mental health.

Sometimes, supporting her in front of your parents so she doesn't feel alone, or simply preparing morning tea for her on a Sunday. Maybe small but crucial moves we make daily to keep the relationship going and growing.

Yes, love does mean making small adjustments daily, little sacrifices to meet your loved one's expectations, rather than those grand gestures that you do to woo your partner.

Love is a commitment, to be by her side in sickness or health, for better, for worse, for richer, or for poorer because Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way, and it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
