For all of our friends who are not married, but would like to be one day… It’s good to have a list of standards that you look for in a spouse. However, it can never be with the expectation that if you find that special someone, he’ll right all your wrongs and fill up all your insecurities. To expect another person to make you feel happy, secure, and fulfilled will leave you disappointed at best and disillusioned at worst. Even a great husband makes a very poor God. The time to start working on becoming a wife is now. Before the white dress, delicate bouquets, unity candle, bacon wrapped shrimp, and reception punch, there is some heart stuff to consider: Getting married doesn’t instantly make you selfless… it makes you realize how very selfish you can be at times. Getting married doesn’t make you feel loved… it makes you realize love is more of a decision you make than a feeling you feel. Getting married doesn’t take away loneliness… it makes you realize true companionship comes not when you demand it but rather when you give it to another person. So, what does marriage give? A beautiful chance to make the choice to… Laugh - whether or not the jokes are funny. Love - by folding his collar over his tie every morning. Pretend - like you don’t need flowers, but delight when he buys them anyway. Cheer - him on through both failures and successes. Tell - him he’s a great man every day. Thank - God for the privilege of being his wife. - Lysa TerKeurst
