Gents, are you looking to have a date by next Valentine’s Day?

The ladies of Johannesburg share their experiences...

“A week before Valentine’s Day, he [my boyfriend] paid lobola [in full] for me… He did the things, so we are now married... That was my Valentine’s.” 
– Thando, listener
“A guy has got to be able to fight for the lady that they want in their life. My experience was I was dating this guy before my husband… we were all in the same circles… My husband had an eye on me… My husband comes with a bouquet of flowers, a big teddy bear with a heart on it, and kisses me in front of my [then] boyfriend… We’ve been married 25 years now.” 
– Millie, listener
“The one thing that stands out for me is when a guy appreciates and loves you so abundantly and notices you and puts in every effort to notice you. He respects and loves your family almost as much as you do… My husband and I are going to be hitting 11 years this year and we actually met on 14 February.”
– Shivani, listener
“Not to belittle her pain. If she’s got a headache, instead of being like, ‘You don’t drink enough water’, he rather brings you a glass of water… He always advocates if I’m in pain… he’ll always be on my side.” 
– Samantha, listener
