Dear future husband,
Hello it’s me, your wife. It’s crazy to me to think that you are out here in this great big world looking up at the same night sky at me every night. Maybe I have already met you. I could have met you as a child and we could have gone on our separate ways or you could be one of my current closest friends.
Maybe I’ve passed you in the aisle of a Kroger while I’ve been shopping for cereal and teas and not even noticed you. You could be the guy sitting next to me in the waiting room or the guy sitting three rows ahead of me at church.
Or maybe you are hundreds of miles away from me right now, with a whole slew of different friends and a girlfriend or two and you have no idea that I even exist. But even if we’ve haven’t met, we live under the same sky and moon and sun and one day I will met you and know you will be “the one."
Even though I don’t know who you are yet, I can tell you that I will love you with all my heart and that you will be the best thing that has ever occurred in my life. That I will promise to make you laugh and smile when you're sad and to be there to lift you up even higher when you’re glad.
I promise to comfort you when you're hurting to not tell you that everything will be OK because I can’t promise you that, but I can promise to never leave your side. I can promise to be there with you through the lowest lows when there seems to be no escape from the pain and the darkness. I will never let go of your hand.
I will help remind you of the light that is our Father. I promise to love you unconditionally. To give myself to you fully -- no matter how intimidating that will be. You will be the only man, the only person that gets to know every inch of my heart, my mind and soul. Respect, honor and cherish that and I will do the same.
I promise to learn your favorite foods and try my best to cook them. I will listen to you talk about your work knowing that you’ll listen to me when I cry. I can’t wait to do simple thing with you like go to the store, eat breakfast, fight over who will have to do the taxes that month, do laundry, remind you not to forget your lunch and habitual Saturday night dates.
To glorify the Lord our God together; to have a family together. But most importantly I can’t wait to love you with godly love unlike another. I know it won’t be easy -- actually I know it’ll be really hard. But I know that with out love and through the love of our Father we’ll be able to withstand any storm.
