Because he loves you, he will always look for things that will make you happy. He will respect your opinions and be ready to make amendments in his plans when the need arises to suit your interest. He puts you and your happiness first in his plans. If he doesn’t consider you in the plans he makes and he is not ready to shift ground when his plans affect your happiness or well-being, the love might not really be there. Love is about sacrifices, therefore, he should be willing to sacrifice unconditionally when it comes to the things that genuinely affect your happiness.

When a man loves you, he won’t see your progress in a competition with his, but rather as a complement of his own achievements. Your man will never envy you for your achievements; instead, he sees both of you as partners in progress. A man who loves you, wins with you.

When a man loves you, his ultimate aim will not be to abuse your body. When all a man does is to have sex with you and doesn’t bother about all other things that affect your life, your career, or the relationship, you need to wake up from your slumber. Possibly you’re only his sex machine with which he is fulfilling his sexual urges. Definitely, there is someone else out there getting his real attention. A man who loves you will help you to grow spiritually and professionally. He will concern himself with your plight and work without ceasing towards your progress. Don’t waste your time with a man who is a purpose destroyer and destiny killer. If a man loves you, he will always be eager to help your purpose and destiny. When a man really loves a woman, she is always his treasure.

He knows if your friends and family members are happy, you will be glad too. A man who loves you will develop genuine interest in the plights of your significant others.
