Your beauty will attract a man, but it’s your character that will keep him, by Aisha M Auyo
I asked a medical doctor a weird question. It goes like this;
‘Dr, you’ve been seeing all sort of women in your life, every day. Beautiful, voluptuous, and many more. How do you know which one to love or choose as a spouse?

Work on your personality more than your physicality.
Work on your manners.
Work on your attitude.
Work on your social skills.
Work on your emotional intelligence.
Work on your neatness.

Fair skin can be bought, bleaching and skin lightening is everywhere.
Fine face can be bought, plastic surgery is everywhere.
But you see, good manners, patience, humility intelligence, empathy, clean heart, etc can never be bought. They’re priceless.
That’s what will distinguish you from the others. That is what will keep a man glued to you. That’s what will help you stay married.
