He who finds a wife finds a good, good thing.

My summer has been uneventful, thanks for asking!

😁

[dfwife]

How's your summer going?

My summer is going alright! Really all I've been doing is work. How's yours?

[dfwife]

What is your current status regarding finding your future wife? What is your religion (be as specific as you can be)?

My current status is not really looking. I think if someone comes along then great, if not, great. I am a Christian.

I'll stick with being anonymous for now. Have a good weekend!

Hey you too!

Paul Newman’s Letter To His Wife On Their Wedding Day

“Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.  A good marriage must be created.  In the Art of Marriage, the little things are the big things.  It is never being too old to hold hands.  It is remembering to say ‘I love you’ at least once a day.  It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon; it should continue through all the years.  It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.  It is standing together facing the world.  It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.  It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.  It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have the wings of an angel.  It is not looking for perfection in each other.  It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor.  It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.  It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.  It is finding rooms for things of the spirit.  It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.  It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and obligation is reciprocal.  It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.”

I hope that one day when I lay my head on my pillow to fall asleep, I'll feel your warmth snuggled against me. I hope one day when life is kicking me down, that I'll experience your grace and kindness.

So I've been following your blog a while, and despite the fact that you take long breaks between posts (which I get, cause I do the same thing lol) I love following you. I've kind of resigned myself to being alone, but what you post is genuine and comforting and gives me a little bit of hope. So thanks. (No need to post this/answer. Just wanted to let you know.)

Well I'm going to reply to my #1 fan! :) I appreciate that. I do take long breaks, no reason really, other than sometimes I lose hope and find it a waste of time posting these. I keep telling myself ill come back on and write more, but it hasn't happened ***yet***. Don't be anonymous :)

At the end of the day, in the quietness of our home, our kids will be asleep and the dishes put away, there we will take time to do the precious work of rekindling the fire of our love.

Purging my phone and apartment of everything that was my last relationship feels so good.

Tonight I’ve spent a total of 2 hours trying to log into my Gmail account. It was agonizing. I’m still not logged into it. Please bear with me in times of struggle and defeat ;)
