A Note To My Future Wife

I'm not married (yet.)

I don't have a girlfriend (yet.)

But I really have learned alot about relationships, more than anything from books, pastors, and people in my lives that have either been good or bad examples. (No names will be called, so don't worry!)

So this is for you, my future wife. You may not even speak English, but I'm writing this thinking about you (whoever you are.)

A note to my future wife

I want to start this off honestly. I won't be able to love you perfectly. I probably won't even be able to love you that well. But I know that Jesus will give me a love for you that will be something beautiful, something perfect in its imperfection.

I probably won't be much smarter than I am right now (sorry, it's your fault for marrying me.) But I will seek wisdom; I will seek it from my parents, from my leaders, from my pastors. I will do my best to be the man you deserve me to be.

I don't know what you'll look like, what your personality will be like, but I'm sure that you're going to be my better half. I'm complete in Christ, and I don't want you to complete me. I want you to better me, to be with me, to share life together in the deepest, most meaningful way possible.

I wanted to warn you about a few things as well: I'm not perfect. You might think so (love is blind, right?) but I'm not. I sin, I mess up, and I've got issues (ask my sisters, they're really honest.) I'm working on them, I'm seeking God's transformation, but I'm never going to be perfect. 

So I'll make you a deal; respect me even when I don't deserve it, and I'll love you even when I'd rather pull out my hair. I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a walk in the park, but I know that, in God's timing, it'll be the best roller-coaster ride of our lives.

So, future wife, I'm praying for you. I'm doing everything possible to arrive at our wedding night the best man that I can possibly be. Also, I can't wait to see you in your wedding dress... Unless I'm a millionaire when we marry, I hope your Dad pays for it.

Anxiously awaiting the day we meet,

Zac
