When awhile ago I was going through some rough times, Father Tim suggested I write down what it is I needed, not wanted, from a spouse. The fruits of this discussion will follow below:
I need love from my wife
I need partnership
I need a Christian Woman
I need intimacy
I need for my wife to yearn for me
I need for my wife to respect me
I need for my wife to be close to me
I need only to be second to God
I need to be WAY far above her career in the priority list
I need a love that is emotional and lasting, not looking for puppy love
I need an Ephesians 5:22 wife
I need to be with someone who respects and betters my Christian journey
I need a wife with me by my side at church
I need a One Flesh, One Body, One Soul…
I need stability; a set of priorities and rules in life that bind us and not separate
I am and will never be an emotional ping-pong ball. Love isn’t something that changes, it is everlasting. Love doesn’t come and go.
So that is what Nick needs from a soul mate. These are set in stone…binding…
