Welcome to my blog and this is my entry in response to week #22 contest which focuses on my favourite love story and why I like.
Love has been given different perspective and different perception based on an individual experience, ideology, cultural background, and other influential factors.
What's love?
Love is n expression of affection towards something. Love is sacrificing for the betterment of another an individual. Love requires time, emotions, giving etc.
Love is a deep commitment and devotion being given to someone.
Love is yielding and responding to a person's emotional need, social need, psychological need and other general needs.
Love is an act of being patient with an individual which is accompanied with care, sharing etc.
Love is an act of benevolence.
Love covers multitude of wrongs.
Love is also is a strong desire to show mercy to an individual.
I think the definition or explanation about love can't be overemphasized however the aforementioned are the little.
What makes love not to last is when there is no openness,lack of trust,lack of confidentiality, etc.
my favourite love story.
I can't stop sharing about my favourite love story because this was an indelible moment for me and especially how it started to when it was finally consummated into marriage.
I had the privilege to come from a family that ensures that the children were properly brought up inline with godly virtues. Growing up to see other elder ones tilting towards a positive direction wasn't a challenge for me to conformed into simply because I saw the life.
I met my wife after I had completed my degree programme at the University. Which is the custom of country for any graduate less than thirty years to serve the nation for one year where you could be posted to any part of the states for exposure, learning new traits and breaking some cultural tides.
I was posted to far northern part of my country to serve for this one year. As part of my preparation for the service, I took out time to seek the face of my God for direction, also prayed that God should help me to meet with the lover of my life that will agree to be my wife.
The power of God can't be limited and can't be taken for granted at all. I was saddled with lots of responsibilities that influenced my deployment to the state capital for the service this is to enable me balance between my responsibility and the mandatory one year service.
The house where I was given for accommodation was the exact house I met my wife. The house consists of hundreds of other young people serving too. We normally cook together as family and time table was designed to accommodate everyone in the kitchen.
On this faithful day behold it was my turn to prepare the meal, as I stepped in to the kitchen I saw my wife seated with other people picking beans and others hmmm as if a chilled water was dropped in my heart. There was this sudden emotional trigger and assurance that this is my wife.
I nurtured the feelings for a while before I opened up to her due to my position then. At the appointed time, I shared the content of heart to her and my feelings towards her. I gave her time for reflection in order to ascertain a reasonable level of personal conviction because both of us were very serious personality.
At the long run she responded positively and agreed to marry me Wow that was highly memorable for me. After some few moments, the marital plans unveiled and I went to her parents and at the end they consented to accept me.
