After the wedding yesterday, I wrote you this letter:
My Beloved,
As I listened to the wedding ceremony, I considered Paul’s command for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Christ’s love for us surpasses understanding and includes his excruciating death on our behalf. In our marriage, I have failed miserably to live up to Christ’s standard. Please forgive me. For consistently putting myself before you, forgive me. For my careless and hurtful words, forgive me. For not appreciating the sacrifices you make to let me pursue my dreams, forgive me. For not loving you as I should, forgive me. Please know that I desire to love you sacrificially and I think I’m daily becoming more like Christ (though the likeness isn’t great). Thank you for your patience as I strive to love you fully.
Your Beloved.
What a beautiful letter – any woman would be thrilled to receive it. Heck, I’m sure husbands would love to get letters like this from their wives as well.
Thanks so much. My wife liked it!
