You are beautiful.
The marriage won’t complete you. Neither will the man. You complete yourself. If you do not surround yourself with things and people that make you wholesome or complete, nothing else can.
His quirkiness and the machismo that drives you nuts now might be a point of trigger for you later. He WILL stop being attractive. He will get clumsy, flawed, and weaker. Fix your attraction on him as a person, not on how he looks or carries himself.
Everything about him might push you to your limits of wit and will. What he thinks as a joke might be offensive to you. What he thinks as ordinary might be a huge deal for you. Lose the fantasy that you are entitled to love everything about him. You are two different entities.
As much as people say love does not sustain the relationship, you should also remember that love can be worked on and improved. With consistent and team-driven efforts. Take one step. Watch him take another. Leap further. He will hop along.
Marriage is a forge. A beautiful forge. You are free to nurture your skills. Carefully and fondly. Anything can be forged. A beautiful, shiny sword. Or a blunt, rusty mace. It is in your hands. Marriage is a crafty handiwork. Yours.
Treat him like how you would want me to treat your mother.
When and if everything goes wrong. When and if he wrongs you. When and if the whole world is plotting to hurt you, kill you, destroy you. When the last option of help fails you, you know what to do:
Knock my door.
When and if you have done the most disgusting sin in the world and when God abandons you, you know what to do:
Knock my door.
Tread on, my love. With every huff and puff and every misstep, remember, I have got your back.
Hiss pride and breathe respect.
You are beautiful.
Regards,
Dea
