Man of My Dreams

Dear Man of my Dreams,

I think of you many times throughout the day. Sometimes to admirer you, other times because I miss you in that single moment, often times to complain about how you have not taken out the trash. The truth is, I love you more than words alone can express. I know, cliché. I’ve shared so much with you. I was only a girl when I met you. Your love for me is what drew me in. Yes, you were kind, sweet, funny, handsome, but most of all, the love that I saw in your eyes is what confirmed to me that you were… The One.

I found the one my heart loves.                 (Song of Solomon 3:4)

I love the way you love me. I love how patient you are with me. I love how you never yell at me, but instead lecture me when you are frustrated. I love the way you love our little ones, and never need alone time from us. I love how much you love Jesus, and how much I see you strive to be just like Him. I love the way you come quickly to my side when I am sad or mad or upset or happy or excited.  You are my person. You know, the one I can go to for everything. The one I can count on to always be there.

I see you. I see your struggles. I pray for you. I know you fight daily to do what is right, to provide, to rise above your fears and anxieties.  I am proud to be your wife. I am blessed to lay beside you at night when it is time to rest, stand beside you when it is time to fight, and walk alongside you on this lifelong journey. You are not just the man of my dreams, you are the man of my life.

 

Love your beautiful wife and forever best friend,

Christ-Centered Marriage in a Modern-Day World.

Before I ever met my husband, I prayed for him. Before I ever envisioned him, I prayed for him. Before I ever knew what it was to be in love, I prayed for him. Marrying a man of God was fundamentally imperative to me. I understood, even at such a young age, the importance of having a husband who looked to God first in everything.

Undeniably, months before I was to meet my husband, God placed it in my husband’s heart to begin to pray for his future wife. My husband recalls seeing me for the first time and knowing with certainty that I was the one he was to marry. After observing my husband and the way that he prayed at the altar, God  began to reveal to me that he was the one that I was to marry. My love for God led me to my husband; just as his love for God led him to me. My husband is my best friend. He is a promise from God that I will have a friend forever.

After 14 years of marriage, prayer continues to be at the forefront of our relationship. God is whom leads us. Every decision made is made in respect to God’s will in our lives. In the most difficult of moments, and we’ve had our share, we have learned to trust God. Together, we strive to honor God and to raise a family who honors God. While we may not be perfect, we do serve a perfect God. It steadies my heart to know that my trust is not in my husband alone, but in that of the MOST HIGH GOD!
