Something for you to ponder:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.

Taken from I Corinthians 13.

I'd ask you to replace the word love with my name, i.e. Mark is patient, kind etc.  Know that I am not there yet, but that this is how I long to treat you.  When I don't treat you this way, please let me know and I will try to fix it immediately, ok.  You make me happy, and I love you completely.  Please know that if you didn't forget my clothes, that you would not be reading this now.  Have a great night sweetie.

Your husband,
Mark AKA poorman
