What Does She Need from Me?
I’m a married man, now; it’s not just me, anymore. I’ve grown accustomed to it being only me, myself, and I, and to my roommates always agreeing with me. Because of that I’ve learned to be selfish.
Dang and I come from very different places, but when we disagree, it is because of, simply, being different people. A lot of it has to do with me. I know that I can be very difficult, at times… very selfish.
When I think about what Dang needs, what comes to mind is simply love, and love is:
Selfless. One does not go into life with a complete and utter disregard for one’s self, but he thinks of others first. “What are their needs? What’s their point-of-view?” he asks.
Quiet. Sure, love can be shouted from the rooftops, and it should be sometimes, but more often than not, it’s quiet. Love does for others without them even knowing about it; it has no regard for recognition.
Enduring. Love can make life blissful, but not a s blissful as one imagines. In the moments when love isn’t enough for bliss, it can be enough to help us endure, Patience can help us do that, but love helps us to endure gracefully, peacefully.
Fearless. Love makes you believe, “Yes, we can do this.” Let’s face it, life is hard. A marriage is an agreement between tow people to face the world hand-in-hand. With all that the two have against them a coming, love must surely be fearless- not afraid, never expecting failure.
Fulfillment. We can never forget that love is fulling. Let love fill you. Don’t focus so much on the “hard knocks” aspects of love that you forget to enjoy it because it is exciting, joyful, fun, and, yes, fulfilling.
