Mad to Love: Age Schmage? →
corycopeland:
Every now and then, I’ll send out a feeler asking what I should write about to the people who follow me on Twitter or are a fan of Mad to Love on Facebook. I did this a couple of weeks ago and received an interesting response from an old friend of mine from Texas. She wanted to know my…
Do Your Part and HELP
corycopeland:
Take a moment to sign this petition that will hopefully alert President Obama to the seriousness of human trafficking happening in the US and all over the world today. Please and thank you.

To My Future Husband:
I promise to never to take you shopping with me at the mall. I’ve seen so many unhappy guys being strung along by their significant other. I can promise that will never be you!
To My Future Wife:
Can you put my hair in cornrows for me? I’m white, but I think it’ll look cool. Thanks!
To My Future Husband:
Please come into my life soon, I’m tired of my ex’s ability to control my emotions. I’m ready to give all my love to a real man.
To My Future Wife:
I hate you. But only when you’re being a punk.
To My Future Husband:
I want our love to be as perfect as an Ed Sheeran song.
“Settle down with me, cover me up, cuddle me in.
Lie down with me, hold me in your arms.
Your heart’s against my chest, lips pressed to my neck.
I’ve fallen for your eyes but they don’t know me yet.
And the feeling I forget I’m in love now.”
To My Future Wife:
Sometimes I want to slap you silly! Metaphorically of course. Why do you have so much fear? Fear is not a good friend to make. She will rob you of everything beautiful in the world. Let your hair down. Let joy be your companion. Let love melt your beat up heart. Let peace flood your most personal deep places.
To My Future Husband:
All I ask is that you have a beard and wield a banjo. That’s not too much, right? You’ll exist someday…
To My Future Wife:
Words of advice My Dad told me ‘Marry a girl with character. It makes the best marriage in the long run.’ My Mother told me ‘Marry the girl who makes your heart burst with excitement.’ My Grandmother told me ‘The first girl you fall in love with, is never the girl you marry.’ My Grandfather told me ‘Its about time you found a wife. Just choose one, you...
To My Future Husband:
I’m starting to believe that you don’t exist…or that I’m not special enough for you to grow up and get serious to start looking for me.
To My Future Wife:
All my life, my mantra has been “me, me, me, me, ME!”. But I know that can’t be if I want our relationship to work. I’m getting rid of my selfishness so that when I finally meet you, I’ll only be “you, you, you, you, YOU!”.
To My Future Husband:
My side of the bed is the right side. Please accept this. And please hurry up and find me because the left side of the bed is looking awful boring without you there. Or better yet, when you find me, how about we meet in the middle? ;)
To My Future Wife:
I’ll hold you close when thunder crashes outside.
To My Future Husband:
“What are the words, all the words that you’re saying? I wish I knew all the prayers that you’re praying. Everywhere you go, I wish that I could stand next to you.”
To My Future Wife:
I see the notes commanding me to rush along so that we can be together. But that’s not how it should be. Live your life, love your life, and when the time is right, I’ll appear before you…and you’ll know it’s me.
To My Future Husband:
I don’t like the term “falling in love”. When you fall, its a mistake and you always get back up. I want to grow in love with you instead. Learning to love you through the good and bad times. I don’t want our love to be a mistake
To My Future Wife:
There are two types of waiting: Nervous, emotionally draining discontent AND peaceful, grateful rest. I prefer the latter. To see the waiting as a gift. Like wine, tasting better with time.
To My Future Husband:
I should have known it was too good to be true. These things usually are. Can you change that?
To My Future Wife:
You’re worthy of being loved. And I’ll be the man who shows you that every single day.
To My Future Husband:
I’ve never fought so hard to be with anyone in my life. I’ve fought against other people, the past, against the enemy’s attacks and against my own insecurities. But the whole time I’ve fought with the knowledge and the hope that you and I will be together. That I will be looking into your eyes when we’re old and wrinkly and know that this was the right choice. One...
To My Future Wife:
I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you.
I fell in love with your character first time we talked. I fell in love with your tenderness first time you cried. I fell in love with how you blush when I say you’re beautiful. I fell in love with your smile when you’re quirky. I fell in love with your laugh when I say a stupid joke. I fell in love when you looked at me with your eyes.
I...
To My Future Husband:
I have this image in my head of the guy I want to marry. But I know that God has someone that is going to be ten times greater than all the expectations I’ve ever had. I can’t wait for you to be the guy I can do anything with. Go rock climbing, go on a hike, take you home to the family and play cards, go out for a walk, or just sit and watch some T.V.
I love you and I’m...
To My Future Wife:
I threw away my list. I’ve realized love isn’t two perfect people starting a perfect life. It is two people willing to grow and change together. You don’t need to have it all together to be accepted by Jesus. Likewise you don’t have to have it all together to be totally accepted by me. But I am looking for someone with a soft heart. That is teachable, that is open to being...
To My Future Husband:
When you look at me while I’m naked, I feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.
To My Future Wife:
I will build you a house worthy of raising our children in.
Mad to Love: She's Worthy of Goodness →
corycopeland:
This past week, I received a heartbreaking email from a young lady from Denmark named Rebekah. Within her correspondence, Rebekah mentioned realizing just how many young women had been sexually abused in some way or another. She then proceeded to ask if good guys care if a girl has the sort…
To My Future Husband:
I hope you like to smile, and I hope you like to be impulsive. And I really hope you know the difference between there, their, and they’re.
To My Future Husband:
I’ll give you half a bj every time you unload the dishwasher without being asked. But you have to do it properly.
To My Future Husband:
All I want for us are the 4 Fs:
1. Faith in Jesus— hold me accountable in my walk and I’ll support you in yours
2. Fidelity— I want us to have a marriage based on trust, like in Proverbs 31
3. Fun— Make me laugh and I’m yours forever
4. Fair Fights— Let’s never go to bed angry
Love,
Your Future Wife
P.S.
There’s another F, too, but I...
To My Future Husband:
I think pants are overrated and often go about the house without them.
I hope you’re okay with this.
To My Future Husband:
“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”
I know it’s you because you are the perfect example of this quote. I cannot wait to marry you and take your last name...
To My Future Husband:
We’re both under the same amazing galaxy, stars illuminating the sky above us. Although we haven’t met yet, perhaps one day we’ll be hand in hand, admiring God’s creation together and gently singing worship songs in awe.
To My Future Husband:
My heart aches right now. Aches because of all the mistakes I’ve made. Aches because of all the hurt and loneliness that is overwhelming me right now. Aches because I’ve almost given up that you exist and could ever love a person like me. Despite that, and as much as I need you here right now, I realize that I need this time to work on finding myself and strengthening my relationship...
To My Future Husband:
I’m sorry I gave my first kiss to a guy I thought I loved. But you’ll get the next million kisses, I promise.
Hey!

Mad to Love: A Jealous Heart →
corycopeland:
If there’s something I hate at all in this world, it’s the feeling of being jealous. We’ve all felt it. Our ears burn and our anger and imagination run amok. Someone has something we want, or have accomplished something we wanted to accomplish, and we feel as if our world has been set on fire.
I,…
To My Future Husband:
Everyone thinks my sister is much prettier than I am, but thank you for being the only one who thinks otherwise :)
To My Future Wife:
Let’s climb a tree and run through a field with our shoes off. Just you and me. Let’s just…be.
To My Future Husband:
I don’t care if you can’t afford the ring…just ask me. I would still say yes a thousand times over. I love you.
To My Future Wife:
I’m not only the man you’ve always wanted; I’m also the man you’ve always needed.
To My Future Husband:
It makes me happy to know that you are walking around, waiting for me and wondering who I am, too. I pray that you are happy or on your way to it. I pray that God holds me in the dark corners of your heart while we make our way towards each other. I can’t wait until we collide.
To My Future Wife:
How about I make YOU a grilled cheese for a change?
To My Future Husband:
Looking forward to the days when I no longer have to go into Victoria’s Secret by myself :)
To My Future Wife:
I’ve known you for 3 weeks and am so pumped I get to spend the rest of my life with you. I promise not to be an ugly old man.
To My Future Husband:
Please don’t talk when we’re watching movies together.
To My Future Husband:
Thank you for always listening to me, and always knowing how to make me laugh — all the time. Thanks for understanding my sense of humor, and for thinking nothing of my random bursts of laughter, even when everyone else around stops what they’re doing to stare. I love you for being so compassionate and not caring that it can leave you looking vulnerable. You’re romantic and...
To My Future Husband:
Today, I saw an old couple at a restaurant together; not talking, not even looking at each other, just eating. That will not be us. When we’re old, I hope we’re as ridiculous, crazy and in love as we were when we first got together. I’m really excited to grow old with you.
To My Future Husband:
I miss you like crazy and I don’t even know who you are. Come find me.
To My Future Husband:
I’m not perfect, and I never will be. But I need one person in whose eyes I know I can do no wrong, and I need that person to be you.
