I used to thinking loving someone was getting them fed
and in the past I would make sure to get food ready for my partner when ever he was around.
That was what I saw the other women in my life do for their partners.

Imagine my shock when the significant other started demanding things like conversations 
I was so quiet and would only speak when necessary.

The more years I have lived the more I have seen the imbalance in that way of loving. Women are not accessories, we are not just here to set the table when he comes back.
We are partners and most often than not the answers our partners need are in us talking with them helping them find clarity.
We are lovers, partners, counselors and whatever we decide to be.

Those experiences have taught me how I have got to get it right because with deliberately teaching anyone, there are a group of girls watching me who are going to do it the way I did.
Love is beyond food, we bring a whole lot more to the table.
