things i learned from uncle pete and auntie con

i want to be with someone who will open my bottle of water when i got arthritic hands
i want to do a duet of the songs that we grew up with, even when we are old
i want a patient man who don't mind repeating things twice, thrice or more when i can't hear well
i want someone to argue with even on small things, but will make up in a few minutes anyway
i want to be with someone whom i can wake up and count on if i don't feel well
i want to laugh with someone who laughs at the same jokes as i do
i want to be reconfirmed that i am more beautiful than anybody else even if i think i am not
i want someone who will drive for me when i'm unable to
i want to go to church with him sunday after sunday after sunday
i want a husband after God's own heart

in return,
i will say to him... stop eating too much, watch out for your cholesterol
i will remind him to watch his speed when he's driving
i will say he is wrong if he is, but in a way that will not snatch his ego
i will understand his sensitivity, and will learn how to deal with it
i will stay and sleep beside him even if he snores loudly
i will bear and raise his child whom he can be proud of
i will love his family even if sometimes they are being unreasonable
i will listen even to his silliest and corniest stories
i will let him do something even if i know i can do it better
i will pray with him all the days of my life
i will be a wife after God's own heart
