The Venting Series :: Blog 1 - ''Dear Future Wife''

Dear Future wife,

I don't ask much from you, although in reading this it may seem like
I'm about to ask for a lot. I don't consider myself to be like most
other men, but then again most other men claim not to be like most
other men, making them like most other men. But I really am one of a kind, as you'll soon see. So before we meet, take time to read - it'll
only do you a few favours. So let's go...

Dear future wife, an important note to you, I expect you to put me
first above all things. The truth is, if you esteem me above the
things which you deem as important, then you're already on the right
track. Conceited maybe? Most definitely not! Reason being, that I do consider myself to be the jealous type. So a word to the wise, keep your eyes on me.

Okay, maybe that wasn't the best way to start this letter, but I think it’s important that we set the record straight. That's the reason why a lot of relationships fail before they even start rolling; the underlying truths are ignored and left in the blocks. I'd rather we had a good start, run with endurance and attain the gold medal which awaits us at the end of this race. But anyway, back to the matter at hand.

Dear future wife, other than faithfulness, I expect nothing but commitment and devotion from you. Seeing as I did find and choose you, I feel it only befitting you give yourself in your entirety to me, and I mean to me. Not to anyone or anything else. Your heart, your mind, your soul; Your love, your time, your efforts and conversations; that which encompasses you in your fullness to be sacrificed for the one you proclaim to love. I say this because if you truly loved me indeed, you wouldn't just love me with words alone, but also in deeds.

Dear future wife, there is no way in heaven you can even attempt to call me superficial; simply because if it were to be based on looks and looks alone , you'd still be single. No doubt about it. Everybody knows you're actually not that attractive, in fact your quite ugly! (I wont even apologise for the harsh truth). But me being me, I am more than willing to look pass that and perpetually love you regardless of your dreary and wretched appearance.

I'm not asking you to slave trade away in the kitchen, an old friend named Martha used to do that for me, but she later realised that all I wanted was quality time. All I want, not need, is for you to be daily demonstrating my essential nature; namely love, towards me. I'm talking about washing my feet with your hair using a bottle of finest 'kinda love'. I'm talking about reminiscing of our meeting at the
well, before screaming to the world that you've just met the one 'kinda love'. I'm talking about that me kinda love.

So in closing, I leave you with this. It is important to know that you will mean everything to me, for you I'll be willing do anything and with you everywhere I will go. Everything I have, I have given to you; and everything I am, I am in you. You are my diamond in the dirt, whose value will only increase on the day we consummate our union. I already know who you are, as you have no choice but to answer to my call, one ring, a symbol of an unending, everlasting love. Forever at your beckons’ call, never will I be engaged.

So dear future wife from this day I take you as my bride.


Love, your father in heaven
