Pizza and my mouth
My wife and I (that’ll score some points)
Ok. I’m sure there’s more, but hopefully you get the idea.
These are GREAT things! Things that make me FEEL good, excited, happy! Yet each and every one of them leaves me momentarily satisfied (which is a nice way of saying UN-satisfied). Each of these things leaves me wanting MORE. Yes, even my wife.
So, I PURSUE her. Husbands, you better chase after your wife like she’s the BEST thing going! She wants to know that you WANT her (as I’m sure you want the same). I don’t stop. I don’t rest. I don’t want to give something or someone an opening to invade my marriage. Men, let’s face it, we ignore our wife’s needs and when some other guy starts paying her attention, making her feel wanted, desired, and she falls for it… we get made at HER! Yes, and it was my friend’s fault when I stuck the fork into the light socket. Right…
When you WANT something (or in this case some-ONE) you chase after it. You chase after her. You PURSUE her until you GET her, until she’s YOURS, and you NEVER stop. Don’t settle. Don’t grow complacent. Don’t take her for granted. CELEBRATE her! Y’all are an AMAZING combination!
Stop spending so much time chasing after stuff that doesn’t matter. Stop turning on the TV. Stop staring at your phone. Stop working out in the garage (do people seriously do this?). Stop worrying so much about your fantasy football league (FANTASY… as in NOT REAL… you wife and kids ARE). Life is full of AMAZING combinations, but none are greater than you and your spouse (except maybe you and Jesus, but I was trying to avoid the Jesus juke). Stop trying to satisfy your dissatisfaction with all that other crap and chase after your wife like you actually love her and appreciate her and want her.
Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you’re done.
