A Letter to my Future Wife
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 07:03PM A dear friend of mine recently shared a letter he wrote to his future wife. I thought it was an inspiring illustration of strength in such candor, everything that this project embodies. Man or woman, I hope you find encouragement in this gentleman's journey.

A LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE
**I'm never going to actually give the woman I marry (if I marry) this letter. It's just where I am now**
Dear Mrs. Andre Henry,
I beg you, PLEASE let me pursue you! Do not give me your heart easily. Allow me to work for it. It's the only way I know how to value it. Don't toy with me, just gracefully and subtly let me know I'm on the right track. Make yourself available, be intentional, but do not take the pursuit from me.
I am too selfish to meet you today. If you are in my life, please do not reveal yourself. Because I am never satisfied with anything I have now. It's the some GREAT moment of redemption through being deeply loved that I'm waiting for-- some "tadah!" transfigurative moment--that I'm looking for. If I meet you now, I will only find someway to convince myself that this is not that moment.
If, as we get to know one another, you find yourself falling for me. Guard your heart. I am not as capricious as I appear, just fearful. Wondering, "are you The Great Love?" what if I make a mistake. You have to understand, though you won't, that I am never satisfied with the present. When you're near me, I'll want space. When you're away, I'll miss you. It's psychology. I'm trying to work it out before I meet you.
Mrs. Henry, I'm a virgin. I plan on giving that to you. But I am by no means pure. I am begging you, DONT kiss me or let me kiss you. Not until we're an item. It will mess everything up. Too many relationships have gone that way for me. I'll get confused. I'll feel wrong. The onus is not entirely on you. I am committing myself to honorning, protecting, respecting, loving and serving you...please help me do that. Be my friend. Intimacy is what I want. True, healthy, well-rounded, connection.
I'm weak, Mrs. Henry. I'm wounded. I'm strong because I endure and presevere, but my brokenness will probably never be fully healed on this side of heaven. Please be gracious with me. Know my heart. Trust my heart. Tell me when I'm wrong, gently. Let me know I'm important to you, respected. Let me know that you won't abandon me, or give up on me. I will always move toward healing. Believe in me. Encourage me.
I really want to be a good man to you. I want to be good at love, and to be loved. Promise me you will always let love be the overruling principle: love is more important than winning or being right.
"Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is never envious or rude, boastful or proud. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love always hopes, always trusts, always perseveres." my paraphrase of Paul's words.
Until Next Time,
Andre
