Perfect for me

My husband, Chris, and I will be celebrating our second anniversary on Oct. 14. I wasn’t sure what to write about and then, when I looked at the calendar, it dawned on me to write about him.

I believe there ought to be more people like my husband in this world. Why would I say such a thing? Simply for the fact that the world needs more gentle and kind individuals like him. He truly has an ‘old soul’ that is often lacking in this day and age. He holds the door open for me, waves and smiles at complete strangers and never fails to tell a store clerk or waiter how much he appreciates them. Of all the things that my husband bears in his personality, there is this gorgeous blend of gentleness that astounds me every day. I never notice intimidation or force in my husband’s temperament. He portrays himself with delicacy, thoughtfulness, persistence, patience, grace and harmony.

While he is not perfect by any means (none of us are by the way), he is perfect for me.

When we married, my husband had been in his faith for quite some time. I, on the other hand, was still insecure and new to my faith and who I truly was at the time. He was, and is, so patient, especially with me, that I often pinch myself as to how much God has put His nature into him. I believe a good number of husbands, not to mention wives, bear this same patience and we often times don’t praise our partners enough for this.

I only need to look at my husband to learn more about God. The reality alone that God has connected me with this man as my life partner is a testimony and declaration of His faithfulness and loyalty to me. I have often judged people unreasonably in the past, and still have issues with that to this day, where I’ve noticed he seldom does. He generally seems to have a more pleasant God perspective, and the time we spend together causes me to recognize my pride and challenges my reasoning. I’ve been saved so many times by his wisdom.
