Called To Be a Wife

In the early blossoming spring of this year, my heart finally found rest upon comprehending that my desire to be a wife is not something to despise or be ashamed of. Instead, I have embraced it lovingly as a beautiful calling from God. My dreams of marriage and motherhood aren’t held tightly by my soul out of selfishness or worldly pressures. I desire ardently to be a woman whose soul is devoted to serving my husband and children. When I was younger in my late teens to early twenties, my focus was strictly fixed upon the loveliness of a man treating me like a princess. I had never thought about what it meant to be a caring, considerate and loving wife who blesses my husband. His helper, his rib, joined beautifully unto him by God. I was so focused on chasing after a happily ever after, the flowers, the vacations, the ring, the wedding. But as I have grown older and journeyed throughout womanhood, my heart burns to pour out my love and devotion into someone. A husband, a baby. A home, a family.

Every day of my life, I dream of it deeply. It’s unshifting, unmoving. There have been plenty of moments when I have asked God to remove this desire away from me. Although deep in my heart, I feel that I am called to this.

If you’re a woman like me, dreaming of a soft and beautiful marriage, I hope that your heart knows that God is proud of you greatly. Truly, how beautiful must it be to embrace the glory of love that you’re desiring to serve your husband and kids rather than focusing solely on what benefits you will get out of marrying. I think true love is when each spouse is devoted to taking care of one another, both husband and wife, serving, adoring and respecting one another within serene harmony. That’s the kind of wife that I aspire to be.

If you need any more gentle encouragement, you can also read my books, ‘Everlasting Love’ and ‘Housewife Dreams’. Both books are available to buy on amazon to uplift. your heart.
