Click to expand...

I'm proud of you for:

You are Godly, not only in words but deeds.
Your volunteerism.
Your gentleness.
Your kindness.
Your patience.
Your self-assurance.
Your vulnerabilities.
Your honesty.
How you honor and respect me.
How you treat me as if I'm the only woman on the face of the earth.
How you can be open with me no matter what.

There are more...this is just the top few

I haven't found anything that you do that embarasses me. I think you are an awesome man.

When something is hard, how well do you handle it? How well do you take care of it if it lasts a long time?
Click to expand...

When things are hard I try to handle them when they come up. I'd say I'm pretty good through the hard times. If they last a long time, well, I just keep plugging along until it all gets worked out.

I think the way our marriage would last over the long haul is that we choose to love each other. If we make/made a mistake but take that attitude we will overcome any obstacles.

My game plan: Choose to love you everyday. Be the best wife I can be. Keep our marriage alive...in a lot of ways . Keep improving myself and working together to improve us. Keep God number 1 in my life and be the best woman He wants me to be.

What has been your experience (yourself or family) with alcohol or drugs in the past? At the present time? Have you ever been addicted to anything? If so, how has that addiction been addressed?
Click to expand...

I was a drunk for about a year when I was 18 or around that. I don't think I was an alcoholic but I sure was drunk everyday. I experimented with drugs as a late teen, mostly soft stuff...marijuana, speed...those kinds of things. My parents never drank or used recreational drugs that I know of.
At present, the only meds I use are ones prescribed. I have a glass of wine on very rare occasions.
I'm addicted to Coke...Coca-Cola Actually just the caffeine in it. I've tried to kick the habit but it produces a huge headache. If that's my only vice, I think I'll keep it.

How well do you handle constructive criticism? How do you like to be approached if I feel that advice could be helpful? Who are you most open to receiving advice from?
Click to expand...

Constructive criticism I welcome. If I'm doing something wrong I want to know how I can make it right. If I'm doing something ineffective, I want guidance to do it more effectively. I know I am comfortable enough with you that whatever you offer me as advice that it is well thought out, Godly, compassionate and needed. I normally balk at unsolicited advice because normally it comes as criticism, nothing about it is constructive. I'm open to advice from anyone with my best interests at heart and that they present it as advice from someone with wisdom.

I would like us to complete a formal premarital counseling program. What is your opinion of this?
Click to expand...

I think at the minimum with the minister that will be performing our service. If time permits maybe something that would be more involved. I'm not sure how all this will work out because it would sure be hard to do something more involved 1200 miles apart.

What are the easiest emotions for you to express? What are the most difficult ones?
Click to expand...

If love is an emotion then it would be love. We've discussed that love is a verb which we both agree on. Happiness is another easy one for me. Disappointment, for me, is a very difficult one. One reason being if I'm disappointed, I haven't expressed my wants, desires or needs explicit enough. Not that there isn't disappointment even if all those things are expressed, it's very hard for me to graciously "deal" with it.

If you could be any age for just one day what age would you be?
Click to expand...

I would love to be 8 again. I was still living on the farm, life was great, and no responsibilities. I could lay in the yard with my collie and stare at clouds and determine what animals they looked like. I could eat watermelon whenever I wanted to and if I was out in my "playhouse" I could spit the seeds anywhere I wanted to. I could be outside all day except for meals and not have a care in the world (well maybe except what critters my brothers would slip down my back). I could walk a soda to my dad plowing the fields and know that he would give me the first drink of it when I reached him. I could watch one of my brothers milk the cow and then have them squirt me with it. I could go up in the barn loft and see baby kittens or baby doves. I could adopt baby chickens and feel their softness on my face. Life on a farm is simple and yet hard but it was a great place to live my first 8 years.

If you could have lunch with anyone past or present who would it be?

Who would your second choice be?

Third choice?
Click to expand...

1. Jesus, I'd love to look into those kind eyes and thank Him for the sacrifice that He gave for me.

2. I'd love to have lunch with my Daddy again. I miss him so. He was such a great influence in my life.

3. I'd like to have lunch with your Mother. I'd want to meet the woman that raised such a wonderful man as you.
