Making A Difference

My Perfect Future Husband or Wife

As weird as it may sound, the above is the title for Question 3 of Section B (Continuous Writing) for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. As he writes what he feels, I think it is worth giving it a thought as well. What would my perfect future husband be like? Tall, dark and handsome? Or kind-hearted, respectful and God-fearing? The latter suits me better, haha.

Perfect? Nobody is perfect, haha. My “perfect” future husband would be someone who is humble, respectful, God-fearing and humorous. Once he is “perfect” in these few areas, he already is elsewhere. Perfect does not mean flawless. The Bible says that man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart. A heart that desires to do the will of God, a heart that beats according to God’s own heart.

My perfect future husband would be one who understands me and accepts me for who I am. He is someone who will encourage the best out of me. Not only will he love and understand me, he will be able to respect my family as well, and love them like he loves his own. Leadership not excluded. He has to be able to take the lead so that when the children come, they will know that respecting him as the father figure is important.

In short, my perfect future husband will be one who is God-centered. Where God and ministry is concerned, he should be able to encourage my walk with God.
