Dear ________,
Marriage is a beautiful thing. Please don't be fooled by the way society portrays it. All men are not lazy, weak, or incompetent. There are a few left who are in fact quite genuinely chivalrous, but most importantly they love Jesus. Don't be taken by shallow desires (car colors). Take your time and learn him. Let him learn you. Then you'll learn to love, or you'll learn you actually don't love. I'm going to stop there about all that though. I'm praying you'll let God lead you when that day comes. Society really does make marriage look blah. They make it appear like it's a chore, a burden. They also make it seem temporary. Marriage is none of these things. At least, it shouldn't be, and it certainly doesn't have to be. Yellow car boy and I just got home from a weekend of togetherness. It was nothing extravagant. It was actually quite simple, and it was wonderful. We had a few things to accomplish after being away. One of those was grocerying. He volunteered to make that trek. While he was away, I of course made a slightly unhealthy request. I wanted some baked sour cream and onion chips (at least they're baked). He returns and valiantly delivers them. I call his name as he is grilling, and he calls back. I reply that I had it under control. He asked what my concern was, and I said I had accidentally almost eaten the entire bag, but it was ok because I finally moved them away. He just laughed. Never did I know marriage could be that simply enjoyable. He found great delight in my dilemma, and I found humor that I found my dilemma humorous. You'll want things to be extravagant. Everyone is posting this, that, and the other on Social Media. You'll watch fairy tales, and they'll give you false hope. I hope you always model what you desire in a husband after yellow car boy. He's pretty spectacular. And I hope you see marriage as the beautiful thing God designed it to be. I hope you see it as a covenant. It's not temporary- at all. So don't choose hastily or unwisely. Most of all, I hope you find great delight in car hunting, house shopping (we are thorough decision makers, so we have to be the most annoying car/house hunters) , and conversations over sour cream and potato chips. These are the moments I'll forever cherish. These are the moments that make me glad I looked past the yellow car. These are the moments I'm reminded how wonderful marriage is. I hope you get to experience such fun as this! Love, Yellow car boy's wife, your momma (Lord willing I take on that title one day), or person writing this blog
