I'm so in love with this man...

Dear God,
I never thought that I'd meet a man who I could give my heart to the way I've been able to give it to him.  I am so in love w/that man.  I never knew such a man existed who I could share all my thoughts w/and all my secrets.  Before him, it was just me and you.  You've been the only one I could communicate w/uncensored; w/o fear of judgement or ridicule; just complete freedom and comfort.  I am so in love with that man.  It blows my mind to think that you created him w/me in mind; that you created me w/him in mind.  And when you felt the time was right, you brought us together to prepare for forever.  You knew all along every relationship I had that failed because we weren't really friends was just to prepare me for the most amazing friendship I've ever known.  Every bit of pain and sadness I've endured was just to prepare me to be able to receive this overwhelming joy and happiness.  You allowed me to get out all the tears because you knew you were getting me ready.  Laugh longer and harder and louder than I have ever in my life.  Every relationship you placed me in where the man would misuse his authority was a time of preparation for this.  So now I know what my leading man is really supposed to be like, and I can humbly submit w/pure faith and trust that he will not lead me astray.  

And like a true father, you stood w/me while I stumbled down that path, and you dusted me off every time I fell.  And like a true father, you were there through every heartbreak and every disappointment.  Every time I ran back to you, you held me close and dried my tears.  You let me rest my head on your shoulder while you reassured me that everything would turn out right.  Because you knew you had this man for me and me for him.  And like a true father you set the example.  You've been my best friend, you've been my listening ear, you've been my comforting smile, you've been my leading man.  And then you lovingly passed me off to the version of you that you designed just for me.  And like a true father, you looked down and smiled because you know that I've found the happy place that you created me for.  And I am soooo in love with this man.

And now, he's stepped into the role.  God, he really is my best.  I can tell him anything.  The kind of stuff I only tell you.  And he gets me.  Like he's inside my head reading my thoughts or inside my heart feeling my feelings.  I thought only you could do that.  We're on on accord.  We have the same goals, the same ideas.  And I am soooo in love with this man.

With just one look we understand.  With just one comment, we fall out laughing.  With just one pause, we tackle any difference.  And with each and every smile I fall more and more in love.  We have a circle that is all our own.  A vault that nothing or no one can penetrate.  No distraction or attempt at destruction can break down what we have because its been anchored by way of love and obedience.

So thank you my father for this man, my counterpart, my complement.  You knew we weren't quite ready when we first met.  You still had to grow us a bit.  You still needed us to experience some things so we'd be ready for this moment.  The real thing.  And you brought us together, with your impeccable timing, to face forever together God.  I am sooooo in love with this man!!!!
