I am 26 year old guy and up until recently I doubted if there were any "good girls" left out there. I wondered if someone out there still believed in being a stay-at-home mom, who would see me as a man, and respect herself as a true woman (not a male-bashing feminist). I was skeptical there could be someone who would reflect my high standards. Would she not put kids at risk by being willing to stay abstinent before marriage? Would she be sweet and loving, while also having a back bone and stand up for what she believed in? Well, almost five months ago, with those lingering questions in my head, I met J. Now, we're only dating, and there is no ring and a date... yet. But we are committed to pursuing a true commitment. And everyday I find more and more proof that this woman is in fact "marriage material." Yesterday, while sitting at my desk at work (I'm a stock broker), I received this email from my girlfriend: "Dear God, Thank you for my dear, sweet, perfect James. He is the best thing in the world. He helps me grow closer to you, and keeps me grounded. Smells yummy, reminds me of something warm and familiar and comfortable and happy. He makes me feel like the most important girl in the world when I am with him. He is my best friend. He loves ME because I am an expression of YOU. He thinks I am pretty. He takes care of me and protects me. He inspires me to be better by being disciplined and principled, highly motivated and absolutely competitive himself. He makes me feel safe ...like being bundled up on the biggest coziest sheepskin rug in front of a warm fire on a cold Christmas Eve. He makes me laugh when he grabs my leg while making sharp turns in the Prius. He makes me feel loved when he checks for software updates on my computer, syncs my iPhone's applications, music, and podcasts, fixes its case, and encourages me to update my stereo system in the car. He makes me smile when we fight about potatoes or our stubbornness. He is a very practical and helpful problem solver. He researches websites and blogs to help me with answers to questions I do not know; he carries my bags, helps me lift my suitcase off the moving belt at the airport, and briefs me on current affairs. He listens to me talk about my days, and my friends, family and boss. He knows when I need to be comforted and he will quietly take my hand, play with my hair or gently rub my back. He makes me want to be the best me because he strives to be the best him for You. God, I could go on and on as to why I am so grateful for my James. Thank you so much for my hunnie bunches. I am absolutely in love with being in love with my man. Gratefully Yours, J." Well Dr. Laura, just wanted to share these good signs with you. I've listened since I was a kid and you've helped me hone what I'm looking for. So, I think I've found a keeper. Do you? With Respect, James |
