“What is a man’s definition of love? Answering that question is a slippery slope for a number of reasons. In particular, those being: love is relative to each individual. Love has no definite definition, yet the way a man views love defines who he is to a woman. Although you may find a number of men share the same sentiments, you must understand what love language your man speaks. There is a book to help you in that department. As far as what a man’s definition of love is? Here’s my take on it… My definition of love is quite simple. As a man I want make sure the woman I’m with is happy. A real man cares about nothing else in the world. If she is happy, he’s happy. Now I don’t mean he sacrifices his happiness for her. Far from it.

His happiness is tethered to his woman’s happiness. To see the smile on her face when he fulfills the joy of her heart’s desire? Priceless beyond comparison. The only thing we, men, seek in return is appreciation. Respect! That’s what shows a man Love! Show us you appreciate what we have done. And we are happy and content. Too simple you say? Not even. Women are too complex in figuring out how a man loves. Also, it isn’t up to a man to keep her completely happy all the time. To be honest you shoot for 70-80% and weather the storm the rest of the way. If she is the woman she should be, she will understand it is virtually impossible for a man to always make her happy. We can’t win them all. A man is here to compliment a woman.

If she understands this concept, she will be happy with his effort to make her happy. Because believe you me…he will try his damnedest to get her what she wants. If a man could move mountains or stop the world from spinning for his woman, he would. Are there some other things involved in a man’s definition of love? Perhaps. But all fall under the umbrella of making his lady happy and her appreciating it. A man’s role is to provide a home for his family and protect it. Making sure the mortgage, car notes, utilities and other bills associated with his home operating smoothly is a man’s responsibility. This helps validate our manhood. That is the role that has been assigned to us by society. And we take that very serious!

At the end of the day a man lives to ensure his lady’s happiness. That is being a husband, a man, a father, a lover, a protector and a provider. He fulfills these roles successfully when a woman reciprocates respect with appreciating the lengths he goes to, to provide that comfort. The definition of love according to a man is simple. It’s all love.
