“What we do is, we go out on a date every Sunday, just to catch up because during the week, we get so busy with work and now have another full-time job, which is the baby.
“There, we talk about us and our plans. We try not to discuss anything work-related. Every last Friday of the month, we do something special like an indoor picnic or a movie night with the baby.”

The happy woman feels incredibly blessed to be a mommy

But despite the hardships she faced, the 30-year-old never lost faith in God and is happy to be in a healthy relationship:

“It has always been my desire for my kids to be raised by both parents, considering that a lot is happening with couples divorcing or separating. I'm so grateful to give that to my son.
“It could have been different, though. I hope we fight to continue building a safe home for him and those to come.”

Gauteng mom thinks Valentine’s Day should be every day

Gail encourages couples to show love to each other daily, even in small ways:

“Create your own love story that only you can tell. It’s not always about buying flowers and chocolates, but having a man cook for his woman or a woman taking out her man on a spa date.
“What you see on social media is not always real because some people get those flowers, but they don't know the true meaning of being loved. Learn and practice each other's love languages.

“You deserve the best there is, so never settle for less than what you want. Love yourself enough and take good care of yourself.
“Sometimes, the right person for you will come when you least expect, so spend more time equipping yourself.
“Be kind to yourself. Let them find you in the right space. Use this time to introspect and figure out what makes you happy and once you find it out, just do it!”
