Are you looking for a partner in life? Do you have a life partner now? Do you see your wife as being precious to you? Does your husband trust you with all his heart? Do you continue to work on your relationship? Do you work together so you lack nothing?
Finding a partner for life can be a challenge. We might many people, but finding the right match takes more effort than simply meeting people. We need to get to know them, know their character. We need to not only love them but determine if they will be a good match long term.
We sometimes encounter people who are more in love with the idea of being married than they are in love with the person they marry. There are some people in this world who simply cannot stand being alone. They will cling to anyone who shows them attention. Those relationships typically do not last nor end well.
To find a lifelong partner, we must not only find someone we are attracted to, but someone whose character matches well with ours. We also must understand there is no perfect person waiting for us. We need to be willing to live with a few imperfections and they must be willing to live with a few of ours. A life together will include ups and downs, good times and bad times. Yet, when the two are willing to give to the other, they can make a good life together.
I pray we all find a person we can trust. I pray we see one another as precious to us. I pray each one of us work at our marriages, being willing to give to one another to make a good life together. Find someone you can trust. See the other person as precious. Work on your marriage. Give to one another. Make a good life together.
Proverbs 31:10-11
A capable wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
