Just sharing an email that my friend sent me..
Keep this in mind. This is for all: the recentlymarried, the ones who have been married, thesoon to get married, and the ones who are still looking............
Years ago, I asked God to give me aspouse, "You don't own because you didn't ask"God said. Not only I asked for a spouse but alsoexplained what kind of spouse I wanted. I want anice, tender, forgiving, passionate, honest,peaceful, generous, understanding, pleasant,warm, intelligent, humorous, attentive,compassionate and truthful. I even mentioned thephysical characteristics I dreamt about.
As timewent by I added the required list of my wantedspouse.One night, in my prayer, God talked to myheart: "My servant, I cannot give you what youwant",I asked God why? God said "Because I amGod and I am fair.
God is the truth and all I do are true and right"I asked "God, I don't understand why I cannot havewhat I ask from you? "God answered, "I willexplain. It is not fair and right for Me to fulfillyour demand because I cannot give something that isnot your own self.It is not fair to give someone who is full of love toyou if sometimes you are still hostile, or to giveyou someone generous but sometimes you canbe cruel; or someone forgiving, however, you stillhide revenge; someone understanding, however,you are very insensitive....
" He then said to me : "It is better for Me to giveyou someone who I know could grow to haveall qualities you are searching rather than to makeyou waste your time to find someone who alreadyhave the qualities you want."Your spouse would be bone from your bone andflesh from your flesh and you will see yourself inher and both of you will be one. Marriage is likea school. It is a life-long an education. It is whereyou and your partner make adjustment and aimnot merely to please each other, but to be betterhuman beings and to make a solid teamwork. I donot give you a perfect partner, because you are notperfect either. I give you a partner with whom youwould grow together.
"Love is a commitment of the heart that will stand the test of wavering emotions, intellectual rationalizing, circumstantial allure, hormonal infatuation, and even the wounds of your lover.
Anything less is not true love.""Have A Heart That Never Hates
Have A Smile That Never Fades
Have A Touch That Never Hurts
And Build A Relation That Never Breaks"
