I will do dishes every day. I will fold the laundry every time we pull them from the dryer. I will vacuum the entire house. I will water all the plants you attempt to grow. I will run the errands that you need. I will clean the garage when it gets full of the junk we still think we need. I will make the bed in the mornings after we toss and turn all night. I will sleep on the couch when you feel sick and need the bed and pillows all around to get you comfortable. I will drive you to your parents to see your mom so that you can be encouraged. I will take out the garbage, even though I think it’s not quite full yet. I will make you cups of tea to help your throat. I will dust the bookshelves even though you hadn’t noticed they were dusty. I will straighten up the couch and arrange the decorative pillows just the way you like. I will do all the things you need. I will love you all the ways I can. I will pray for you each day.
I will fail to do everything above. I will fight to make each failure right again. I will get frustrated and I will apologize. I will hurt you and I will feel the hurt I’ve caused. I will reach out to you to mend the pain. I will never stop trying…
For if this is price of getting to call you my wife, my beloved, my dearest friend, and my companion for forever, then I willingly pay it all. For this price is far below your worth and you are valued far above my works. You are the treasured daughter of Almighty God and nothing I can ever do will make it even.
