THIS IS HOW I WANT TO BE IN THE MARRIAGE:

I want to not have to work, he will provide, but I'll be able to do the things that I love to bring in extra money, not needed money. I'll have dinner ready when he gets home from work. I'll honor him and let him have the final word as the head of the household, even if I disagree, and pray that the Lord will set him straight. We will NOT argue when we have a disagreement, instead, talk it through. There will never be any suspicions in our heads to question our love for one another. We'll always seek after the Lord and have exciting conversations about God for hours. We will work in our ministry together, travelling the world together.

OBSTACLES THAT I SEE HOLDING ME BACK:

My character needs to continue to build. I need to stand firm in seeing the Lord as my main and first love. I know I will need to work on my jealousy and suspicious mindset.
