"Hang my locket around your neck, wear my ring on your finger. Love is invincible facing danger and death. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell. The fire of love stops at nothing- it sweeps everything before it. Flood waters can't drown love, torrents of rain can't put it out. Love can't be bought, love can't be sold- it's not to be found in the marketplace (Song of Solomon 8: 6-7 MSG)".
I have been married for about two and a half months now. It has been quite a journey so far just facing a lot of things. Health issues, financial issues, family issues, work issues. Just different issues. Although it has been wearing me out to go through these things, I will say the only way I am able to get through them all still sane is due to my husband's support; he has truly blessed me this first couple months of marriage.
Recently, the business I worked for closed, so I have been staying home and trying to find a way to stay productive during the day, sometimes it is quite difficult. I get up, clean the apartment, do whatever dishes we have, watch my show, do some homework, and then what? I don't know what to do with my time. I am looking into learning something new that will keep me busy and productive. I've looked into crocheting... that takes a lot of time and is something beneficial to learn. Or learn an insane amounts of recipies all at once. Or maybe I could get back into scrapbooking. Or I could even create new video games or zombie survival plans for people. Hmmm... if you have any creative ideas just throw them out there.
Overall I want to do something during the day that serves my husband so that when he comes home, he doesn't resent me because he has worked all day and all i've done is "nothing". I desire to be an excellent wife, not a shameful wife; a wife that my husband is proud of having. Our church recently discussed Proverbs 31; the wife of Noble character. She seems to have it all right. What I think I desire the most out of the passage of her is where it says "She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life... (Prov. 31:10-12 NIV)" The passage continues with all these honorable things that this woman does daily and how she spends her time so wisely. I hope to get to where she is someday soon. I desire to be a wife that fears the Lord and is full of His wisdom; I know that He can mold me into this... "Yet, O Lord, you are the Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand (Isaiah 64:8)".
No matter what, I want to make sure that nothing harms my marriage. That I do not become a wife that my husband doesn't want to be around, to where he feels he needs some other woman to listen to his feelings and be there for him. I do not want to be a cold and angry wife, to where my husband complains about me to his friends. I want my love for my husband to be so strong and beautiful, that even when I want to be angry at him for no reason, that I remember he is a gift from God and that I should be joyful and compassionate always toward him. "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal om your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned (Song of Songs 8:6-7 NIV)".
