... When a man honestly loves you
Men are not known for showing affections easily, expressing love for the woman we care about is not our biggest strength, that is why it is a little difficult to tell when a man honestly loves a woman, but there is one common trait found among men who truly adore the women in their life, and that common trait is that;
"He will love going to you for advice and counsel"
That is the first thing you notice about a man who endlessly loves his woman, he will value your opinion in ways that trumps his own thoughts and ideas, or that of anyone else.
He will want to get your advice and opinion about virtually everything that goes on in his life. He will want to hear what you think about his latest project, investment, accessories, book, academic pursuit, career plans, everything, before he starts to work towards them. He will always want to get your input and perspective before any decision making, that is the first sign a man gives off when he truly loves the woman in his life. And when he starts doing that, it means he has already started seeing you as his wife. It's the most common trait all men carry.
Some of you reading this post don't even know what your man has been up to all year, you're just there doing love. You can't remember the last time he asked your opinion over an important matter, you can't remember the last time he asked your counsel and took your advice, the only thing he shares with you are the rasmatazz of Big brother Africa and project fame, nothing else. The things he shares with you are trivial things he can discuss with anyone who he is not romantically involved with, but when it comes to the big decisions in his life you only get to hear about it on his Facebook timeline and WhatsApp status.
He started a new saving scheme you didn't know. He quit his job you didn't know, you just found out when you noticed he hasn't been going to work. He's doing new things in his life everyday without telling you, and you have never sat down for a minute to ask yourself who he has been sharing all his wonderful ideas and plans with, or you think men don't talk about their plans with someone before it's executed? If he's not sharing any present things with you that means you're not a part of his future, of what use is your opinion in a future you're not going to be a part of anyway, why should you share in matters that doesn't concern you.
The man who really loves you does not only asks for your opinion, but he really takes it to heart and factors it into his own decisions, because he sees you in it.
