CHOOSE YOUR WIFE

I’ll be embarrassingly honest.
I haven’t taken my wife
on a date this year.

We’ve lived on the edge
where we couldn’t purchase
hardware to repair cabinets
or doors without compromising
groceries or a mortgage payment.

Date nights out just
haven’t been in our cards.
They might not be for a little while.

But that doesn’t mean I gave up.
It doesn’t mean I didn’t LOVE her.

Because I can’t wait until
we can afford a night out
to choose my wife.

It’s about understanding the fire
that lights her heart,
and stoking that flame every day.

I serve her.
I praise her.
I admire her.
I thank her.
I appreciate her.
I move my days around
to support her when she’s tapped.

I massage her feet every single night
and listen to what’s happening in her world.

I’ve been asked to love her
the way He loved the church.

To serve her in the spirit
of His sacrificial leadership.

To wash her feet.
To unburden her.
To raise her up.
To love her without condition.

Not just to take her on dates.

I’m not perfect.
God knows I fall short.
But I love her with everything
that this fleshy human heart has.

CHOSE HER.
Serve her.
Every day.
No matter how hard life is.

A lot of us are living there.
Few will say it.

// Love her well
