You see this guy has always been a good friend of our family’s. You introduced us to each other when I was really young. So I’ve known who he is for a very long time. You talked a lot about him and how good he was but I guess a part of me kinda thought that all that you were saying was too good to be true. But this guy has actually been pursuing me.
The day before Valentines Day he sent me a message through one of the leaders on this trip telling me that he’s noticed me. He’s seen my quiet submissive attitude and has noticed all the behind the scenes things I do. He’s noticed me and says that I’m his priced possession!
Although a lot of what I know about him has been things I’ve been told and not yet experienced I am willing to give this guy a chance. I don’t know if any of you has ever fallen in love and can relate but I feel like I’m being drawn to him… like I can’t not spend the rest of my life with him.
I’ve been told that arranged marriages have a better chance of not ending in divorce than other marriages so I’m excited about my marriage because my parents basically arranged it, he pursued me and I was left to decide whether I would commit to this thing or not. So now that I’m ready to settle down and commit to someone I’ve decided that he’ll be the one.
Like any other arranged marriage, it’s been a little scary committing myself to an unknown but let me tell you… it’s been the best choice I’ve ever made. Little by little he’s been proving to me that he is as good of a guy as my parents have said he was. I am so looking forward to spending the rest of my life getting to know him and learning to love him.
Let me introduce you to my Husband…
Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of Valentines Day. I think it’s ironic that on that day of love more people feel unloved than any other day of the year. In so many cases it’s a day of forced feelings and gifts given out of obligation. I find it’s fake. A huge part of all these wonderfully bitter feelings I feel towards this day may have something to do with the fact that I’ve never had a significant other or been someone’s significant other. But now that I’m married my eyes have been opened to a whole different side of this coin. Yes Mom, you read that right. I am now married. Just thought I would let you know. Believe it or not, you actually helped arrange this marriage.
I guess at this point you may be wondering whom this prince in shining armor is… or perhaps you’ve already caught on. What I’ve been talking about here is the way I view my relationship with God. I’ve made a commitment to be with Him for the rest of my life… even though I don’t fully know Him yet. And I feel as though a relationship with Him was inevitable. So now I’m at the point where I’m trying to be faithful to my Husband and communicating with Him so we are making decisions together… not just acknowledging each others existence but actually living in each others existence.
