Media personality Toke Makinwa has shared her thoughts on what people should look for when choosing a life partner, stressing the importance of emotional maturity and healthy communication.

In a post shared on her Instagram Story, Makinwa advised women to choose a man who reaches out after an argument to check on their wellbeing rather than one who leaves them to deal with their emotions alone.

She said a lasting relationship should be built on understanding instead of the desire to win every disagreement. According to her, a good partner is someone who remains present during difficult moments, listens, offers comfort and is willing to apologise when necessary.

Makinwa added that a man who values his relationship more than his ego is the kind of person worth building a future with.

Her message has since sparked conversations on social media, with many users sharing different opinions on the role of communication, accountability and emotional support in successful relationships.
