Njengokuba iminyaka ihamba, abanye abantu abatshatileyo baya beyeka kancinci kancinci ukubonisana uthando. Ukuba le nto iyenzeka emtshatweni wakho, ngaba umele ube nexhala?

•  Into omele uyazi

•  Into onokuyenza

 Ukuze umtshato uqine, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba nibonisane uthando. Njengokuba udinga ukutya nokusela amanzi qho ukuze umzimba wakho womelele uze ube sempilweni, ukusoloko nibonisana uthando qho kuyawunceda ibe kuyawuqinisa umtshato. Nokuba sebeneminyaka emininzi betshatile, abayeni nabafazi badinga ukusoloko beqinisekiswa ngabantu abatshate nabo ukuba bathandwa kakhulu ibe bahoyiwe.

 Umntu omthanda nyhani omnye akazicingeli yedwa. Ufuna omnye umntu onwabe. Akabonisi uthando xa kufuna yena. Kodwa umntu omcingelayo umntu otshate naye uye azame ukuqonda ukuba umyeni okanye umfazi wakhe udinga ukuboniswa njani uthando, aze azimisele ukuzenza ezo zinto.

 Ngokuqhelekileyo, abafazi baye badinge ukuchazelwa indlela abathandwa ngayo kakhulu kunabayeni. Umyeni usenokuba umthanda kakhulu umfazi wakhe. Kodwa ukuba olo thando ulubonisa xa kuqala okanye kuphela usuku okanye ngaphambi kokuba babelane ngesondo, umfazi usenokungaqiniseki ukuba uthandwa nyhani. Kubhetele ukuba babonisane uthando imini yonke.

 Bonisa indlela omthanda ngayo ngezinto ozithethayo. Amazwi afana nathi “ndiyakuthanda” okanye “akekho ofana nawe” anokumenza azive exatyiswa umntu otshate naye.

Ungabonisa ukuba umkhathalele ngokumbamba, ukumjonga ngothando nokumane umpha izipho. Ungamncedisa nokumncedisa umfazi wakho, mhlawumbi ngokumphathela ibhegi, ukumvulela ucango, ukuhlamba izitya, impahla nokupheka. Kubantu abaninzi ukwenza ezi zinto ayibi ngathi bayancediswa nje kuphela kodwa kukubonisa uthando ngezenzo.

Ewe kona, kunokuba nzima ukuba nizibekele ixesha eniza kulichitha kunye ukuba ninabantwana okanye zininzi izinto ekufuneka nizilungise qho ngosuku. Mhlawumbi ningenza into elula efana nokuba nimane nihambahamba qho nobabini.

Nikunye, ngamnye wenu makachaze ukuba angathanda ukuboniswa njani uthando nize nithethe nangezinto eninokuziphucula. Emva koko sebenza nzima ukuze wanelise umntu otshate naye.
