Dear Future Husband,

Let’s start with you. According to God, there are three things that I needed in a husband, and I found them in you. Those three things were that you were to be a praying man, a Christian like me, and a peacemaker. In saying “peacemaker”, I don’t expect you to conquer all the world’s problems. It’s more like you being levelheaded. No woman who follows God should accept anything less, and I didn’t. Now we can talk about women. We don’t make ANY sense, but that’s ok. We cry a lot (whether we are happy or sad). Just take it as it comes and hold me if I need you to. If you want to cry too, that’s perfect fine. We should both support each other in the relationship. Don’t be scared of me when I’m on my period. Most women aren’t actually mean. The more common feelings are hunger and sadness. Food is the key! We women also understand sports and get into them. Some yell at their TV’s and gradually lean forward to get closer to the game. Sports can include NHL, NBA, SEC, NFL, etc. or just playing flag football in the yard. Fun can be had everywhere. Being a woman also doesn’t mean that I can cook. I can make a mean mac and cheese but that’s about it. If you want to be the cook, I am perfectly fine with that. If not, then that’s something we can learn to do together.

My turn to talk about myself. I’m going to let you know now, I will drive you insane! I am weird and I will probably embarrass you in public. I believe that life is open to all kinds of possibilities for fun. I like to randomly dance in Walmart and belt out Circle of Life when walking down the sidewalk. If you would join in, I would not object. Let it be known now that I will love you unconditionally. My heart will always be yours and I can get very possessive. If I am yours, then you are mine. I expect us to want to be around each other a lot. There is also the matter of dates. I’ve always thought it would be cute to go to the zoo at night and see the lights during Christmas. I also just like going to the zoo in general. Animals are cool. It would be swell if we could sit at home and battle over who knows more of the dialogue to The Lion King. I do not want you to let me win! I will win on my own. You’ll quickly learn that I have a love for nature. I have a love for the stars. I’ve spent hours just standing outside at night and even just lying in the grass and looking up at the expanse of stars coating the sky. I cannot tell which constellations are which; I just enjoy looking at them.

I hope all of this has helped you to understand how women work and how weird we can be. Nothing in life is easy, especially not a relationship. It takes effort on both parts.
