I choose you

This is Mister Santiago.
My other half.
The world's best husband and daddy to Johan.
I know the word best is relative but I would like to describe Chris as such because he is that to me, to Johan and of course, you should love your own.

My bestfriend, my lover, my teacher, my defender, my protector, my shield.
He is not perfect but he is good.

Anyway, I have so much to be thankful for.

And first is Chris.

I prayed for him for a long time. And I am really blessed that God gave him to me, to us.

As I've said he is not perfect but he is kind and honest, hard-working and passionate, respectful and honest, generous and sweet, faithful and reliable, forgiving and willing to admit when he is wrong, God-fearing and has a relationship with God, and most of all, he loves us dearly and unconditionally. He is maybe a little 'masungit' sometimes but he knows his limit and he knows when he is wrong. He is the youngest and he used to get away with everything but he has learned to give way now that he is a husband and a father. He takes care of us and he never lets us down.

It is said that your choice of a life’s partner should be made on the basis of character, not charm or beauty and that your partner should manifest the characteristics of one who is wise.

I am leaving you a list of the Qualities of a Godly Husband I culled from bible.org.

I hope this will help you find the perfect match for you. I say perfect match because as we all know there is no such thing as a perfect man and we have a different perfect match. Happy reading and happy searching!
