Signs you’ve found the partner you really deserve
Some people spend a long time trying to find love but others, too, do not wait so long to discover a soul mate. Irrespective of whatever time it takes, it is important that we do not take the love for granted when we eventually find one.
However, it is sometimes difficult to make a distinction over whether or not a partner is truly the kind of person we deserve.
This article highlights a few indicators that the lady or gentleman you’ve found is the one you deserve to spend the rest of your life with.
Affection: A true partner makes sure you know that he loves you regardless of what day it is. He or she would always put in the effort necessary to make you understand how important you are. He or she does not need a special occasion to remind you of how much you’re loved.
Attention to details: Your partner leaves you a lot of little love notes very often. This might seem like something so simple and easy. But the effort that he or she puts into it is really what matters. It just goes to show that he’s or she’s someone who values the little things.
Shows vulnerability: The right partner goes out of the way to make sure that you know how much he or she misses you. Your partner calls you even for the simple reason of wanting to hear your voice. He or she is not afraid of showing that kind of vulnerability towards you.
Transparent: Your partner does not shy away from opening up about his or her feelings to you. He or she does not care what people say when they express their feeling towards you. A well-deserved partner is transparent. He or she never hides anything from you at all.
Respect: The partner you truly deserve respects you and other people around you. He or she is not rude to close family relations or other important people in your life. Both the gentleman and lady would respect the women and men around you. This is also another signal that he or she is the one ‘made for you’.
Humble: The man or woman you deserve does not brag about their past relationship, if any. He or she only talks about it whenever you try to ask about his or her romantic history. And whenever he or she does talk about them, they remain respectful. A true partner does not make it seem he or she is holding any ill feelings or bitterness from a previous relationship.
Supportive: A well-deserved partner supports the professional goals that you might have for yourself. He or she acknowledges that you are a person of substance and that you’re not content with just living a life of mere mediocrity. He or she would honour the fact that you have a career or personal development path that you want to follow.
Seeks advice: He or she values your opinion and makes sure that you are heard and appreciated. A true partner seeks your advice on various issues. He or she does not leave you on the sidelines but would always ask for input and make you feel included.
Sensitive: Whenever he or she disagrees with you, it is done in a peaceful and graceful manner. He or she would take a sensitive approach to manage conflicts with you.
Appreciative: A well-deserved partner is insanely attracted to you. He or she makes you feel that you are not taken for granted. A true partner makes sure you are validated.
Confident: A true partner would always want to show you off to the world. He or she is not ashamed of you. He or she would never do anything to make you feel less confident of yourself. He or she is always proud to be with you.

Nana Yaa Serwaa Sarpong advocates Bold educational reforms at the UK House of Lords during Global Education Summit.
On November 27 2025, global development leaders, policymakers, education experts and civil society organisations gathered at the UK Parliament’s House of Lords for the Global Education Summit hosted by The Baroness Verma of Leicester and organised by the African British Business Forum.
The high-level event focused on the global rise in out-of-school children and the urgent reforms required to deliver equitable, quality education for all.
Among the distinguished Speakers was Nana Yaa Serwaa Sarpong, Founder & President of Women in Sustainability Africa (WiSA) and General Manager of the EIB Network, who delivered a compelling address on the theme “Breaking Barriers: Empowering Out-of-School Children Through Education.”
In her remarks, Nana Yaa who is currently celebrating 26years of Service in the Media, emphasized that education must be viewed as essential national infrastructure, not charity.
Borrowing experiences from her 18 years of empowering women and young people, she presented a strong case on how Africa’s poor educational systems tie into the poor state of its Gender Equality gap.
According to her, unlocking access to education is one of the most effective ways to strengthen economies, empower women and young girls, build resilient communities and drive sustainable development.
She highlighted that each child excluded from learning represents deferred innovation, delayed opportunity and a weakened society.
Nana Yaa noted that the barriers keeping millions of children out of school are complex and interconnected—ranging from poverty and cultural norms to geographical isolation and digital exclusion.
Addressing these challenges, she argued, requires solutions that are equally comprehensive and multi-layered.
Nana Yaa stressed that girls remain disproportionately affected, and investing in girls’ education has a transformative impact across several Sustainable Development Goals, including gender equality, poverty reduction, health outcomes and climate resilience.
Nana Yaa advocated for the expansion of flexible, inclusive and community-responsive educational models, such as mobile classrooms for remote and nomadic communities, community learning hubs, after-hours programmes for working children, radio-based instruction for low-tech areas and digital platforms designed to reach learners regardless of connectivity challenges.
She warned that without deliberate action, the digital divide would continue to widen, pushing already vulnerable children further to the margins.
During her presentation, she introduced three major reforms WiSA is seeking Partners for, aimed at reshaping educational access across Africa and beyond.
These are the Digital Bridge for Out-of-School Children (DBOC), the Community Education Stewardship Hubs (CESH) involving local women educators and youth volunteers and the Teen-focused Global Skills Accelerator for Out-of-School Teens (GSA-OT).
She also underscored the need for education systems that support instruction, inclusivity and healing, particularly for children experiencing autism, trauma, displacement or conflict.
Nana Yaa emphasised that emotional and psychological support must be integrated into educational frameworks in order to restore confidence, stability and long-term learning capacity.
The summit concluded with strong commitments from stakeholders to adopt sustainable financing models, strengthen data-driven policies and expand cross-sector partnerships.
The African British Business Forum reaffirmed its commitment to championing innovative, scalable solutions to educational inclusion across the UK, Africa and the wider global community.
