Lover,
I'm so glad we're together some time after I write this. My longing to know you and support you and give myself up for you is high tonight. I listened to an amazing sermon by Greg Boyd tonight while doing dishes. (note to self, sermons during chore time is a FANTASTIC idea. I need to get an iPod so i can do that in a more mobile fashion) It was about relationships, but one point of emphasis that came up was the idea of husbands submitting to their wives and living for her as Christ has lived for the church. Darling, I want to sacrifice for you. I want to challenge you. I want to encourage you, give you tender care and loving embraces; I want to confront you when the hard stuff comes along. I want to love you.
I'm excited for the road God is walking me down now, but I know that it is bumpy and dark, for now. I'm often unsure of the right steps to take, but I think at this point failure isn't making the wrong steps... it's taking none at all. Anyways, I'm praying for you, wonderful wife of mine. Praying that I'll be prepared to bring to our relationship what Christ has brought to both you and I. Praying that you'll be continually transformed. Praying that Christ-mindedness would be my mainstay. I love you, dear one.
In Him,
Your faithful husband
