A Letter to my Future Husband

To my future husband,

So first off I guess I should be happy that I found someone to put up with me, and if you still think I'm perfect, you are sadly mistaken and that you will learn soon. You must be one special guy if I've decided to marry you, so congrats! I guess for this to work we have to set expectations from the outright. I have a few, not too many, but enough to ensure this is a mutually beneficial relationship and we will both be as happy as we can.

Communicate I know that your gender has communication issues from the outset, but you can put those aside and talk to me. This is the absolute most important thing I will ever tell you. There's no need to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. I'm here for you to talk things through with. You do not need to bottle up your feelings, I will be by your side and we will deal with it all together. No matter how dumb you think you are going to sound, or how irrelevant your thoughts may be at the moment, I want to know. I want us to always be on the same page and know what's going on with one another. As the years go on I don't want us to become strangers, because well, that would just be awkward. So lets just agree to always keep the lines of communication open, and I’ll be happy.

I’m a hot-head. My very short fuse and a bad temper can be seen from a mile away. So it’s pretty safe to say that you are exactly the same. I am hoping we can just diffuse each other, but in the event of an argument. Just give in and say, “You’re right!” I only suggest this because it is likely that I am right, and we are arguing for no reason. Yes, I am a girl and I will probably throw random accusatory statements your way, but I will get over it. Just placate me for a few minutes. Do not be the fuel to my fire, it is just a bad idea. I am emotional and I will say things that come out rude and hurtful, but I do not mean them, not in the slightest. If I am marrying you, it means I love you unconditionally. So put up with my emotions and I will do the same.

Family Planning. I want kids, but at some undisclosed time in the future. I want to build a life with you first. There are things I would like to do and see before I settle down. I intend on having a career, and I know you do to. I want to be settled and stable in our lives before we add any more responsibility into the mix. Also I do love kids, and when we do have them I will spoil them beyond belief. I want you to know that you will always come first, and I want us to always come first. We take care of each other, and then the little ones.

Regular day-to-day activities. When I am watching my shows, please do not bother me. If I am watching it then its important to me, and you will likely just be a distraction. I’ll leave you alone when you watch your sports and nonsense, and when I watch my chick flicks, and girly shows, you do the same. I happen to be impulsive so if I want to go do something wild and crazy, go along with me. I promise its all fun and games. I may go shopping, decide to travel, or make a life change. You can stand by my side and we will accomplish amazing things and make the most of our lives together.

I swear the list isn’t too much longer but for now I’ll leave it at this. The rest I’m hoping we can figure out as we go along. This is a bumpy journey we will be embarking on, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Sincerely,

Your loving future wife
