Dear Husband - A Man's Worth

Dear Husband,

Even though I addressed you as Husband, the meaning of it is more than the seven letters that not only builds to your namesake as a man, but more importantly, who is also the head of everything that is of me. You are the main ingredient to my legacy because you are the father for my children and you are the elder to the new generations of me. You are the other half to my future, and even when I die you still will remain the other half in the history I make every day. Do you know that you are more important to me than anything on this earth? I know that you are taking on a task that most wouldn’t hurdle, and I know it’s your stubbornness that makes you jump to not run away from it but advance towards it head on. See, that is one of the main reasons why I love you. I feel this way because you are so strong to be able to love me and our family the way you love us. You fulfilling the role as an important part of my serenity is also the end of the beginning to my history book. I feel that if you live well then a person will get to live out all three of their chapters of life. You have ended the first chapter with a promising ending, and the beginning to my next chapter has been empowering. Since you are a blessing from God; the reality is that you are my personal reminder that He is real, and He answers prayers. He saves lives. He brings hope when you are lost. You are the connection to show me that my spiritual quest and reality are also real. I know you are making it to heaven because you are the proof that there is something greater than any earthly possession. So while people don’t understand what you truly have and what you mean to me, I need you to know you are most important because you are the positive sign that my destiny is greater than what I always thought it would be. I remember begging and pleading to God to talk to me, and in his quest to help me be the woman he made me, He conjured you up out of his pot of Angels that the lord has secretly been hiding for special people that have destinies to fulfill.

Husband. Sometimes you make me upset. Often I get so upset I think about leaving you for about three days or less, or to I want to punish you in other ways a wife can punish her husband. Nevertheless, honestly, you do nothing severe enough for me to divorce you. I know I am wrong. I go looking for the bad because I don’t get why you love me, and especially when I know the life and type of woman that with your looks, smarts, poise, and temperament, you can have. Any type of woman you heart desires, and yet you chose me. On one hand my brain and heart is satisfied and thankful to God everyday for you because he gave me the second chance at love the right way. Then, on the other hand, it leaves me wondering if it’s real. All the things I have done before I met you, and I ask myself why would God let me experience this type of love? It is like our love is pure, but also clean. And when any anger I have had always leaves me feeling like why am I mad when he doesn’t call me out my name, he doesn’t attempt to put his hands on me, he listens to me, he cares for me, and he makes me feel like a lady? With all the stories you have heard me tell you about my past, you listen, but you still love me more. I know my moods can be unpredictable, but you remain patient enough to help me see the error of my ways. There is not a lot of people who can do that when it comes to my attitude.

I know husband. Sometimes my moods can make you feel uneasy, especially when you are one of the kinds of people who are easy going, passionate, honest, and loving; more than I have ever encountered. If most of the people throughout my life were like you, then a Utopia would be real to me still. However, the fact that you give me my Utopia in the most important place in my life, which is my home, shows that you are a beautiful man. I have always told you that you are a rare commodity when it comes to men, who can relate to me as well as bask in the glory of achieving the life I have now and will have in the future. Just like there are silly men, there are silly women who remain blind to what God’s plan is for them. So a lot of women wouldn’t be able hold on to a man like you. Nevertheless, I know, and I will because I am grateful to endure your grace as well as your knowledge. And I love you.

As I finish up with my words, my Husband, I need you to know that even though times have been tough and pathways unseen, I have never doubted you as man, provider, and head of my covenant. When I look at you, I look at you as the King to my Castle. I can be patient with my dreams because I know you will one day be the reason they come through. It isn’t for the finance part of it, but for the voice that over powers my will to quit. You have always been supportive of everything that is me. You have constantly been honest enough to tell me when I was wrong. You are my plan C+D, and you are the reason I make plan A and B instead of jumping through the fire all the time. Your soul calms my soul, and I thank you because you make me feel safe and happy even when I wasn’t a believer of those kinds of emotions myself. I used to think love was a four-letter word said just to manipulate a person’s will, but as you listen to me, even when most men would have ignored me or walked away, I know it is a fact. Everything that I thought about love was nothing but bitterness. Mr. Husband; You are the good in love.

So I say this Husband. Also my “Angry Black Man”; When ever you feel unappreciated by the kids or even me, understand if you don’t think that you have saved anyone by now or If you don’t feel like you’ve put knowledge and instilled righteous morals in the black community then remind yourself that you have me. I am the woman that will uphold your legacy with passion, and we as a union, will make our own to be proud of who we are in this second chapter of my life. I say this because it starts with me too, and I use your knowledge to make our history.

Thank you and I love you

Your Beautiful Afro-Centric Queen,

Your Wife
