I Love my wife. No, she is not perfect, but either am I...no one is. But, the fact is, If I had to pick one girl out of a crowd to spend my life with it would definitely be this girl that I married. She can look at a situation from an eternal perspective when it seems no one else can or will. She seems to keep her sense about her when everyone else is being senseless. She truly has the kind of Christ-like character that makes me proud of her in a way I cannot even explain. I like Proverbs 12:4, "A wife of noble character is her husband's crown...(NIV)" She is definitely my crown.

Here is the crazy part...but the part that really fits my "little did he know" / Mr. Magoo-like character. When we first got married I didn't know or understand how incredible she was. Unfortunately, I was not a Christian at that point in my life, was more concerned with myself than her, and missed out getting to know her like I do now. She suffered then  because of my worldly self-centeredness, but I believe that I am paying now in lost time. I wasted so much time that I could have spent honoring and serving her...

But, this is the way it always seems to go for me. God always seems to place me, an incredibly average guy, in the middle of extraordinary situations with extraordinary people, as if I'm just kind of along for the ride...he definitely put me with the right woman...I love my wife. :)
