Someday I will meet a
woman and fall in love; but before I do this, I want to make sure that I am a
strong, loving, God fearing man. I want to strive for perfection so that I can
reach excellence. See, I want a woman who has these qualities, and if I want
her, I need to possess these qualities as well.
Disclaimer: I will never be perfect, none of us will, but we must make
it an effort to strive for perfection; therefore, we will have peace knowing
that we tried our best.
These are the qualities I want my future wife to see
in me:
A Humble
Spirit: When someone is pride filled, it shows a lack
of love. How can you love your spouse like you should if you are so caught up
in yourself? If you are full of pride like this, you will not accept
correction, and you will most likely assume that you are always right. This
leaves the door of correction closed when it should always be open. I work hard
on growing myself mentally and spiritually, I lift weights and eat healthy, and
even though I may be more morally upright than some that is no excuse to be conceded.
I pray that I can stay humble for the rest of my days on this earth. Matthew
23:12 says – “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.”
A Loving
Heart: When I finally find a woman, she will mean the world to me, and I will
never want to do anything to compromise that. I pray that I will always be
loyal and loving to the woman that I date/marry. I want to be respectful
towards her, and I want to show her appreciation. God calls us to love and
respect one another always. This is what I will strive to do. Corinthians 3:19
instructs – “Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.”
God at the
Center: God needs to be at the center of
a man and a woman’s relationship. I pray that we both can respect and fear God
equally. We should both study the Bible together, and we should challenge each other
to be all that we can be for our spouse and for God. When Christ is the main
focus, then you will sin less. When you focus on Christ, you will be more apt
to follow his word. Joshua 24:15 says – “…Choose you this day whom ye will
serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side
of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for
me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
A Good
Supporter: I want to possess the ability
to support my wife spiritually and financially. I don’t want us to struggle to
survive. If I am doing my job as a husband correctly, then we will always have
food on the table, and my wife will always be supported the way that she should
be. I am developing my skills now so that I can have a stable income in the
future. I also want to support my wife in her ideas; if there is something that
she wishes to do, or if there is a goal that she wants to pursue, then I should
aid and support her in it, (As long as it’s in God’s will). 1 Timothy 5:8 says –
“But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house,
he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
So basically, I want to be
a strong minded, humble, healthy, supportive, God fearing, wife loving, Christian
man. This will help ensure a happy and prosperous relationship.
God bless,
Noah Brewster
