I looooove those mushy movies. You know-the "chick flicks". The ones where the couple starts out good, and then something crazy goes down-like some huge misunderstanding, or unconsenting parents who think their child is too good for the other person tries to keep them apart, or one person has to move away to another country. I watch the movie, hanging on every word, to see what happens. I feel like I'm on a roller-coaster. I'm filled with hope and excitement, and anticipation, and concern, and sorrow. And when the guy travels across the world to get his girl, or does whatever it is that he has to to assure her of his undying love, I feel like screaming!! I mean, I love love!
It may sound corny, but I think most women want to have a guy who will go to the ends of the earth to make her secure in his desire for her. And I'm not talking about sex. It's way deeper than sex. No matter how independent and strong we are, we really want to be pursued, and desired. In essence, outside of his love for God, we want, and need to be the center of his universe. Sometimes marriage becomes mundane. We've got bills, and kids, and family drama, and even heath challenges as we age. Do I believe the husband should do all the work? No. But I'd love to shout from the mountaintop, "Men, pursue your wives! Don't allow her to feel neglected! Never take her for granted! And if you have to travel to the ends of the earth to show her just how much she means to you, by all means, do it! I promise-she will make it worth your wile!"
I realize that marriage goes through seasons. Some seasons are happy and wonderful. Some are crazy and uncertain. Some days I feel really in love with my husband. There are other times I feel like I'm searching for something to hang on to. I've always been strong, but I need my knight. And I will always need him.
