There are a lot of things I dream about, and one of them is being a wife.
For as long as I could remember, I have always thought about my dream wedding. My white dress would be decorated with lace with a princess look to it. My dad would walk me down the aisle to my future husband, and I'm pretty sure I would be a typical cryer. I think I would write my own vows, too.
However, it wasn't until my college years when I started thinking about the type of wife I would be to the love of my life.
Being in a serious relationship for almost a year and a half, I've had these thoughts. It's not unusual for me to have them. I try my hardest to be the best girlfriend ever, but I want to be so much more as a wife.
I want to be the wife who works to support our family, but also has the time to cook a hot dinner for my hubby when he gets home from a long day of work.
My future husband will get the back rubs and attention every single night before we go to bed to face the next busy day.
I want to be the wife who offers that shoulder to cry, bitch or laugh on. I want to be the wife who comforts my husband when he's had a bad day at work.
I'm dying to be the wife who gives my husband very good advice because I know I would want him to do that for me. We are a team, hand in hand, attached at the hip.
We do not and will not give up.
I want to be the wife who takes my husband on adventures, to the most unexpected places. I want to plan some, but I also want to go without any notice and see where it takes us.
Those are the best.
I want to be the wife who not only has a husband but a best friend, too. I want to laugh while drinking a glass of wine and eating a candlelit dinner. I want to talk a lot about life, about nothing. I want to feel like young teenagers again.
I want to talk about the future.
I want to be the wife who listens. I'm a great listener in the first place. If there is ever a problem where my husband goes on a rant, I want him to keep going. I encourage that behavior.
If something is up, bitch about it. I'll listen. Although I rant a lot, it's obviously fair to let my hubby rant, too.
I'm going to be the one who makes home dinners a thing. Sometimes, going out to eat can be cliche and expensive. Of course, we're going to make time to go out, but I think dinner dates at home are cute, too.
Money can get stressful, so I don't plan to make that a burden for us.
I want to be the wife who makes up games to play inside and outside of the bedroom. Again, I want that young feel and the fun thrill that comes with it.
I really want us to grow old together. I want to be the wife who has that sense of humor even at the age of 80, with grey hair and wrinkles.
I want to remind my future husband that our relationship will never be one-sided. We are in this marriage together and we will fight to make it work.
I want to be the wife who stops the fights against each other, holding my love as we yell at each other for God knows what. I don't want fighting to tear us apart. I know it's going to happen eventually, but it will never be too bad to the point of separation.
I am a girl who does not want a divorce. It's a horrible thing; seeing people go through it makes me sad. It will never happen since marriage is always intended to be strong. My marriage, our marriage will be strong.
I want to be the wife who gives my husband children who look like him. They will have his eyes and other features, especially his intelligence. They'll be perfect.
I want to be the kind of wife who holds my hubby at night, whispering "I love you" into his ear. There will never be a night where that does not happen. Tomorrow is not promised.
I want to be the one who my husband loves, through the good times and the bad. I never want to let him down. I never want him to think less of me for anything.
I will love him for everything he is, even his flaws and weaknesses.
And yes, I want to be THAT wife. The wife who gives my husband ALL the attention. Yes, I'm going to be clingy. I would honestly be concerned if I wasn't that type, or if my husband wasn't that type. I want clingy in my life.
Yes, I want all of this, and I hope he does, too.
