I've always dreamed of being a husband, and I have always been very observant and analytical. As such, I realized at a very early age that being a godly man is not easy, nor is marriage or being a godly spouse and father. I used to listen to Focus on the Family every night and take notes. Then when I got to high school and got a steady job, I would buy books on relationships and spend days on end translating the contents into sentences that I could better understand and relate to. I'd fill up a legal pad half full of notes dissecting the contents of one book. I'd expand on things, I'd argue concepts to myself, I'd cross reference ideas to Bible verses, I'd dream about how all this information would help and equip me in the future.
I've learned from experience now that having head knowledge about relationships does not always make them easier or smoother, nor does it ensure that I will do the right thing or prevent me from doing the wrong things. Either way, I have decided to gradually try and consolidate what remains of the cluster of old notebooks and papers full of ideas and concepts about relationships and love.
I've made a separate blog, because if I stick with this, it is going to be a large blog.
