I stood at the kitchen sink last night washing dishes and realized that I could not remember the last time I had done dishes. For the past 3 or more months my husband has taken care of that. I might wash a dish or two here or there and I was okay with loading the dishwasher. But I know it has been months since I truly washed a sink full of dishes.
While I was standing there I could hear the sounds of him giving Baby Girl a bath. An activity he has been doing solo for the past few months. The last time I tried to give her a bath on my own we had a little accident that let me know that it wasn’t safe for me to do alone anymore. So he has taken that over without complaint.
I am currently one week out from having my second C-section. I don’t know how I would have made it through without him at my side. He has seen me at my best and my worst and chooses to love me anyway. He always remains calm even when I am falling apart. In our almost five years of marriage he has learned when I just need him to listen and when I need advice.
I think at some point most teenage girls dream about the type of man they want to marry one day. Generally, we think about things like how he looks, what type of job he will have, and maybe things that you would like to have in common. I have said in previous posts, my husband and I are complete opposites. He is nothing like what I dreamed of in high school. Yet, he has turned out to be everything I need.
I guess what I am saying is that God knew what He was doing when He put us together. If you are at the point in your life when you feel like you need to search for a husband or that there is no one available, be patient. Wait on God. He may bring someone who you would never expect, but that is everything you need.
