My single lady friends… let me tell you: There are men who will look at you with tears in their eyes as you hold their newborn child. Who will come home, make sure you have everything you need, cook for you, and gladly take care of you as you adjust to life with a baby that literally needs you to keep them alive. There are men who will watch your body change, and lovingly call your stretch marks your “battle scars” and appreciate that you literally give up your body to help him create a family. He will not make you feel bad for fluctuating weight. He will not get bored when you are overwhelmed and have a dry patch. There are men, who when you tearfully tell them that your body cannot handle any more, and it is in pain, they will loving wait months for you to get the care you need to get yourself better. Whether it’s PT, or surgery, or whatever your doc says you need, they will be patient. Because real men, who have married you with a lifetime in mind, know that 6 weeks out of thousands, will not matter. They know that months out of hundreds, is really just a drop in the bucket. They know, that loving you means more than their physical needs. They are out there. They exist. Be patient and wait for them.
