How a man and a woman should love.. ❤🫂🙈

1. A partner who tells you the truth is better than a partner who sugarcoats lies.

2. A partner who finds reasons to stay is better than one who makes excuses to leave.

3. A partner who tells you the issues you need to resolve is better than one who rushes into a relationship because of problems between you.

4. A partner who corrects you when you're wrong is better than one who keeps quiet when you're wrong.

5. A partner who tells you how he/she wants to be loved is better than one who assumes you're doing the right thing and silently gets frustrated.

6. A partner who replies to your messages late is better than one who doesn't reply at all.

7. A partner who admits mistakes is better than one who always has to be right.

8. A partner with little money who builds you up is better than one who breaks you down and belittles you because they have a lot of money.

9. A partner who says a short prayer for you in front of you is better than one who says, "I'll pray for you."

10. A partner who fights for you is better than one who avoids fights and abandons you at the slightest provocation.

11. A partner who talks is better than one who makes you feel like you're the only one who makes the effort to start and maintain a conversation.

12. A partner who picks up your phone and says, "Honey, I can't talk right now," is better than one who ignores your phone calls.

13. A partner who comes home late after telling you where he/she is is better than one who disappears without a word.

14. A partner who opens up to you, no matter how painful and difficult, is better than someone who keeps secrets in the name of protecting you.

15. A partner who is honest with you is better than someone who keeps things from you and slowly slips away when someone else tries to come between you.

16. A partner who asks you for support is better than someone who suffers in silence for fear of being a burden to you.

17. A partner who tells you things aren't right between you is better than someone who pretends everything is fine and shows that he/she has already given up on your love.

18. A long-distance partner who tries to communicate often is better than someone who is physically close to you but you never see.

19. A partner who speaks his/her mind and doesn't exactly agree with you is better than someone who rubber-stamps everything you say and becomes a doormat for back and forth.

20. A partner who gives his/her all is better than one who disappoints in love because he/she has one foot in the other.
