When someone asks you, "What is your hope in marriage?", how would you answer it? That may be an awkward question, but everyone has a "HOPE" in marriage; what they desire it will be, what it will look like, and also what it will look like in 5, 10, or 20 years. Most everyone has the hope and desire it will be fulfilling, happy, and perfect. Although no one is perfect, I truly believe every marriage has the opportunity to be fulfilling, rewarding, and a vision of heaven. No matter what obstacles there may be, any relationship and marriage can truly prosper and be fruitful.
My personal hope is to take care of my best friend who will be my wife, and be a complete family. By complete, I mean to always keep communication open, honoring each other, truly being transparent with one another, keeping the "sparkle" in our eyes, and building our tomorrows together. Our covenant together will be secured daily and founded upon the values we developed as a couple. These principles were shared in the first post on Sept. 1, 2020. Fulfilling my responsibility as a man includes preferring others over or before myself. A true act of masculinity is treating your wife like the most important person in the world. Our mission in life is to fulfill God's calling which involves our roles in the family. 1. Be a leader (1 Corinthians 11:3) in our family. 2. Visibly Love unconditionally (Ephesians 5:20-25), nurture, respect and take care of our family. 3. Serve our family (John 13:1-17) 4. Providing for our family (1 Timothy 5:8); spiritually, emotionally, and financially. Taking the initiative to helping them meet their needs 5. Consistent in Godly character (John 3:30, "He must increase and I must decrease).Spending time in God's word together, praying for/with them.
