Dear Future Husband,
"Here's a few things you need to know if you want to be my one and only, all my life..."
Yes, this is a quote from a Meghan Trainor song, but her list is a little bit different from mine. Although I don't believe that I've met you yet, I imagine that you look somewhat like Adam Levine, Josh Duhamel, or Dave Franco, but as they say looks aren't everything. As a woman, my standards are as high as my heels...which are very high. My brother once told me, "Never settle for anything less than you deserve, and just know you deserve the world." I hope you can become my world, by possessing these characteristics.
1. Love God.
My first wish, because it's the most important. How can you love me if you don't love the person who created me? Help me raise our children to believe in God and His awesome plan for all of us.
2. Love your family.
Nothing is more attractive to me in a man than the love he has for his family. If you love your parents, siblings, grandparents, etc., doesn't that mean you'll have the biggest capacity to love the family we make?
3. Be motivated.
Be motivated to work hard for your family, and find a job that you love! There's no sense in having a full time job that you hate. Take opportunities and step out of your comfort zone to provide for us. We will love you no matter what.
4. Communicate with me.
I ask you to be open and honest with me when communicating. Communication is the one of the most important things in a relationship and helps us grow stronger as a couple. And I'm not just saying that because that's my college major ;).
5. Compromise.
Marriage is all about compromise, especially when deciding who gets to cook dinner and clean the dishes after. Meet me halfway, and I promise we'll figure things out.
6. Have a love for travel.
Let's take a cruise to exotic places or fly to Europe. Be spontaneous and book random plane tickets to places all around the world. Help me accomplish my goal of staying overnight in every state in the U.S. Be my travel buddy for life.
7. Be my best friend.
I hope that you'll tell me everyday how much you love me and accept me for times when I fail. Help me become a better person and love me until the day I die.
Although no one is perfect, I ask that you try your hardest to be the best husband to me, and I promise I will try my hardest to be the best wife to you.
I know you're out there somewhere, and I can't wait for the day that I get to say
"I do" to you.
Love,
Your Future Wife
P.S. "Future Husband, better love me right."
