I Promise

I read this poem and immediately thought of my husband.  And moments later, I thought of you.  Follow my lead on this happy wives.  

Before the end of the weekend, take a pencil or pen and jot this poem down on a note card or a blank sheet of paper, then address it to your husband.  I can just imagine the smile on his face as he reads these words from you:

I PROMISE

I promise to give you the best of myself

and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to respect you as your own person

and to realize that your interests, desires and needs

are not less important than my own.

I promise to share with you my time and my attention

and to bring joy, strength and imagination to our relationship.

I promise to keep myself open to you,

to let you see through the window of my world into my innermost

fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you,

to be willing to face changes in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.

I promise to love you in good times and bad,

with all I have to give and all I feel inside in the only way I know how.  

Completely and forever.

-Dorothy R. Colgan
