Love Note

So the other day I was prepping to lead our group called Restoring Your Heart After Sexual Abuse. A number of courageous women are attending and seeking healing and growth.
The author said that sometimes an abuse victim will have in the back of her mind that there is always somebody better out there for her spouse.
That thought sliced my mind.
That's me. At times I feel incredibly insecure and inadequate and of course there is someone out there who my wife would have a happier marriage with.
I hated walking into the feelings and I hated sharing them with my wife but there was also something rich in allowing myself to be humbled and admitting the truth.
I was even more humbled by my wife's response.
I am so MADLY in love with you that I can't even imagine BEING with someone else, much less being happier with someone else.
You are so incredibly good to me and good for me. I don't know what I would do without you. Really. You make me a better woman.
You are the man I love and will only and always love.
your blessed wife,
Ann
