Chat: On Marriage and Beauty

me: something that Tim Chester wrote


i really thought about this and took it to heart
  
u should always find your wife beautiful
  
like when u grow old together..u should still find (or learn to find) your wife beautiful
  
i think that's important


i mean...appreciate her beauty..is important...
  
everyone is beautiful b/c everyone is created in the image of God
  
it is just our culture distorts bueaty
  
culture distorts beauty..b/c it projects what everyone should be
  
but that's not true
  
like this..in North America.if u are skinny.and tall..u are consider to be beautiful
  
in other culture..like in Africa..if u are chubby u are consider to be beautiful


some cultre like dark skin..some like white skin
  
so beauty is all relative...culture...or people and media..we heighten that superficially


haha u are taking advice from a single guy who ain't getting marry anytime soon :P


D: we all have different measuring sticks.

me:  my measurement stick is my wife..(future wife)
  
and yours is ur wife

D: it's good. i don't believe you need to be married to be enlightened about relationships.
  
yeah, that's the thing.

me: maybe when i get married and i get de-enlightened about relationships :P

Beauty

God.

May You changed my heart so I only desire Your beauty.

May You reveal Your beauty around me so I can see it, feel it and rejoice in it.

You know I will follow You regardless if You answer my prayers or not.

I will give up everything. There is nothing else matter more than Your beauty.

Transform my heart so I will not lose sight of You nor forget You.

May I always remember Your great promise, Your gracious and loving kindness nature.

May I always remember how Your redeem me and restored me to your sonship.

I will seek Your beauty.
