To My "Good Thing;" My Helpmeet...

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church." - Eph. 5:25... "Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them." - Col. 3:19

I can't promise things will be perfect. neither can I promise you that each & every day, or every moment that we're together will be joyful, peaceful, and just as nice and quaint as if it were in a movie or soap opera. For in this world, life is unscripted, and in relationships, there are bound to eventually be arguments, (which I attempt to avoid,) and disagreements. Yet I'm aware it's impossible for us to agree on everything, for we're individuals, with varying points of view. Yet i can promise you that I'll never lay a hand on you in attempt to hurt or harm you.

I can't promise that won't look at another woman, thinking she may be attractive, because I'm a man, I'm not gay, and I have eyes. But I can promise you that I won't stare, for in my heart, mind and soul, you're my blessing from God, and that makes you the most beautiful woman in the world.

I can't promise that I can get everything you want, need & desire, at the time, or moment you want, need or desire it. Yet I'm willing to work hard to provide for the both us, and it's not only my duty, but my pleasure to place your needs before my own, and our child's/children's needs before both our own, including any and all children you possibly may have prior to us being together. I promise to bring them up in the way that they should go, in the fear, admonition and knowledge of the Lord.

I can promise you that like Jesus, I will never leave you nor forsake you. I'll always be that unbiased, listening ear, comforting arm and shoulder to cry on. I'm not a whorish, neither adulterous man, so I can promise you that I'll never cheat on you, and I won't find you unattractive if you gain a little, or a lot of weight, time brings about changes. I can promise you that I'll ALWAYS KEEP GOD FIRST in all of our relationships, family, marriage and otherwise. I promise that I'll always be truthful, open and honest with you, for communication is vital, although there are times that the truth may hurt deeply, I expect you to be that same way with me.

There's much more, for just as many articles, books, and magazines, and novels there are on love, relationships and romance, I could go on and on, but all I'm saying is that I promise to love you the way God intended me to love you, His Book being the most important of all... I promise to love you, more than my own body, just as Christ loves the church.
