Love is like a rocket reaching orbit

To be cared for and to be understood

To convince a girl you understand her

Drop a sincere and sentimental note

Its all about perception

Tiny bridge of trust leads to deep conversations

All girls have a monster of insecurity inside them
 but some are able to hide it and overcome more than others

Fate vs destiny, everyone pulling strings

In the words of big fish, a real man is the one who takes leadership, takes the risks, and takes the initiative to understand.

All I have ever wanted from my future wife was that she desires me for being a man after God's own heart.

Personalities will develop and change over time. Interests are just temporary, coming and going on a whim. Looks also change in time. Will I be able to look at my wife and tell she is still beautiful when she is 40, 60, and God willing, 90? Do I want someone who is only interested in my talents or worldly traits? All I need, not want, is a woman whose source for her strength is the same as mine.

What makes a relationship work is not compatibility or romantic attraction. It is heart, it is faith, it is trust, it is the choice to care for them, and it is the choice to understand them.

Am I disregarding romantic feelings and compatibility (interests, physical attraction, checklist traits)? Not really, but they are only 2nd tier of importance to what truly matter. If a romantic relationship/marriage is a God ordained analogy of Jesus and the church, do any of the aforementioned traits even matter?

All I ever wanted to be is a man of God.

Therefore the only girl I desire is one who understands the depth of that commitment and is willing to accept it.

When she asks me "who are you?" I will tell her "I am your brother in Christ, and a man after God's own heart."

God in center in the relationship. God is enough.

I'm one to hesitate in putting words into God's mouth, as God can say much much more that cannot be encompassed in human words or two scriptural references, but I pretty much agree 100%.
