My Spouse

Because I love you, I pray for you.

Because I love you, your needs are important to me.

Because I love you, I allow God to break down my walls.

Because I love you, I desire your affection.

I choose to love you every day.

After we meet, marry, and make love.

You are the person I wake up to in the morning.

You are the person I kiss good-bye.

You are the person I call when I receive good news.

I choose you over my selfish desires.

I choose you.  

But soon,

Everything changes.

We argue.

We disagree.

We reach a steep mountain in our marriage, but God reminds me of the reasons why I love you.

I love you, because you challenge me to be the best me that I can possible be.

I love you, because, even though we argue, we always find a way to compromise.

I love you, because you are the best father to our children.

I love you, because you are my best friend.

I love you, because you love God.

I love you, because you pray for me.
