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.

Love is beyond food, we bring a whole lot more to the table.
