FLAWS & ALL: WHAT MY FUTURE HUSBAND IS GETTING

FLAWS...
I'm quirky. I can be sensitive about some things. I don't make hasty decisions (which might drive someone nuts). And in that same vein, I have a tendency to over analyze things. I like my space and quiet time and can get into a "mood" if it's interrupted.

& ALL
On the flip side of that, I'm a very loyal person. I love without question, which makes me trust without question. I don't like unnecessary conflict (I don't avoid it, I just don't like it). I want the best for my relationship. I'm affectionate. I'm a romantic (not hopeless lol, but I am a romantic).

WHAT MY FUTURE HUSBAND WILL BE GETTING
One of the things I said to myself early in my single walk is that I didn't want to bring any baggage into my future marriage. I didn't think it was the responsibility of the man I would one day marry, to deal with my mess and it isn't. Thankfully I can look back and see the difference in what I could have been to someone and who I will be. (Thank heavens God didn't allow me to potentially ruin someone's life because of my old stinkin' self).

No one is going to go into a relationship with everything in place. First of all we're human and second of all, our flaws are the things that help us learn, grow, and keeps us on our knees before God. It's the baggage that we don't deal with that breaks up marriages or even hinders us from having the happy, fulfilling relationships we so desire.

I'm happy to say that my future husband won't be getting any baggage. He will be getting some flaws, but most importantly I want to bless him with my "& all".

What is your future husband getting?

The Future Wife,
Audrey

  1. I completely agree. I was just talking to a friend today about that. Baggage needs to be dealt with before a proposal is accepted. Nobody is perfect, but you need to be willing to fix things.
