Act like a Christian
corycopeland:
These are volatile times.
It doesn’t take much for people to get offended these days. Someone mentions how they don’t like something we like and suddenly we’re on the defensive; raising a raucous and defending those things we care so much about (I mean, have you ever tweeted something against Justin Bieber? Dear Holy God, those …

April 2012
To My Future Husband:
I am really sorry that I have messed up so much. I have to be honest with you: I have grown up struggling with an addiction to pornography. It has left me with a perverted perception of sex. And now I think of it as something dirty. But God is working on me and He is restoring my innocence and revealing to me through scripture and Godly counsel how beautiful it can and will be when it is with you.
To My Future Wife:
Praying with you is simply the best. I’m not trying to be super spiritual. Seriously, I’m not. But when spirits unite, it is electric. You unlock things in me that have been dormant. I’m so glad I get the chance to show this side of me with you. It is such a healthy way to connect more intimately.
To My Future Wife:
Forget poetry and beautifully built words. I just want you to know that I love you and will provide for you forever and ever. Let that be enough.
To My Future Husband:
I though I found you once. I found a guy who was everything I thought I wanted in a spouse. When God intervened and told me no, I was heartbroken. Then I realized that, even thought he was perfect to me, God still had someone better in mind! I can’t wait to find you.
Praying and waiting,
Your Wife
To My Future Wife:
“I just want to kiss your lips and hold you tight Dance with you under the stars tonight Feel your heart beat next to mine We’ll be together till the end of time.”
#Guys
corycopeland:
Don’t waste yourself on a girl who doesn’t appreciate you or the effort you give. But rather find one who will cherish you always.
How to Breakup with Your Girlfriend
corycopeland:
This past Monday, I wrote an essay entitled “How to Breakup with Your Boyfriend”. And while the post was fairly well received, I saw that some readers assumed the five tips within the piece could also be used to breakup with a girlfriend. I am happy to say this is untrue. Why? Because men and women are…

#Relationships
corycopeland:
Any relationship is enhanced once its well being is balanced on the wonderment of God’s will.
#Ladies
corycopeland:
Don’t waste your time with a guy who’s a jerk. There are guys that will treat you the way you deserve. Give them a chance instead.
You Are Not Alone
corycopeland:
I once attempted to kill myself because I was so severely depressed. So please know you are not alone in your struggle. Not now, not ever.
#Life
corycopeland:
God didn’t put restrictions on who He loved and neither should we. It doesn’t matter who they are or what they believe; we’re all worthy of love
#Relationships
corycopeland:
We can’t let a bad relationship cheapen our views of love. There’s someone out there worth the courage it takes to start something new.
To My Future Husband:
Today I woke up feeling happy because I get to write to you. But lately today I have been feeling sad because of some school stuff. I really want to finish my bachelors degree so we can live not financially struggling you know. I love you and I pray that wherever you are you find yourself blessed. I know I can get through this with God’s help. I love you and have a good day today! :)
To My Future Wife:
Seriously, du and du alone. Fur Immer.
To My Future Husband:
Tell me you will never give up on me as I promise to keep fighting for you.
To My Future Wife:
For all those Who think grace took flight Abandoned you as a stow away On a ship of clouds I found a glint In a fog of noise She fell off a steam powered piano Clattered down lanes robust Like stolen goods naiveté A free gift Not the variety that sits in streaked windows Porcelain white with butterfly bows More a splintered crate Shattering through skylights Crashing into heavy shelves filled with...
To My Future Husband:
I know you’d be here if you could. It’s ok. I’ll wait for you. I know you’re worth it.
To My Future Wife:
I will never let you go. Ever.

How to Breakup with Your Boyfriend
corycopeland:
Seeing as how I’ve been broken up with a time or two (waaaaay more, actually), I felt it was only fair that I should share my knowledge of what to do and what not to do when breaking up with a guy. After all, I’ve been through every method, from the one that goes, …

A relationship without communication is just two people keeping each other from being bored.
Communication = strength and designed purpose
Why We Deserve Something Good
corycopeland:
There’s a way of thinking that has infected my generation and it bothers me. Someway, somehow, we’ve got it into our heads that because we’ve messed up and done things we are not proud of, we are no longer worthy of possessing good things in this life. Because we slept around or because we’ve done drugs, because we’ve …

Uncomfortable Truth
corycopeland:
We Christians would have a better reputation if we actually acted like Jesus when facing criticism or condemnation.
Mad to Love: Marriage Can Wait →
corycopeland:
I’ve been asked the question and you’ve been asked the question. Actually, I think it’s safe to assume most twenty (or thirty?) somethings have been asked that dreadfully annoying question.
“So…when are you getting married?”
It’s infuriating most of the time because the person doing the asking…

Think Like a Man
corycopeland:
There’s a movie about to be released that’s based on comedian Steve Harvey’s best selling book, “Act Like a Lady, but Think Like a Man”. The premise or goal of the book is to teach women how to gain the upper hand over men by teaching them how and why men think the way they do. I’ve never read the book, but watching the trailer for the upcoming movie…

We can’t expect a new relationship to heal our old hurts. It takes being made whole before we can expect a new relationship to flourish.

To My Future Husband:
You will appreciate all this hard work I’m putting in at the gym. Just sayin ;)
To My Future Wife:
I say we have days where we both skip work so we can go on long drives, have picnics in open fields, and climb a tree or two…just me and you. Wadda ya say?
To My Future Husband:
Every night I pray:
“light a way, on my love;
light a way from above.
shine it down, lead me home
back to him.”
To My Future Wife:
I feel like I will never meet my spouse. I just feel too old, not good looking enough plus I’m not in a band. Sorry it just had to be said. Most of my friends have two or three kids now. I’ve never had a relationship except for a girl I met on an internet dating site. You think I would be unpopular? But no, there are literally hundreds of girls who like me. But I can’t settle...
To My Future Husband:
I should warn you right up front that I love to read. I have many books that span from my childhood up until now.I have gotten lost in the world of Harry Potter, went on adventures with Anne Shirley, and cried with all of the Tuesday’s Children. I hope you have somewhat of a fondness to books like I do because I have so many I could share with you. Music is another thing I love and I enjoy...
To My Future Wife:
Seeing you today reminded me of all those long talks we used to have, and how lucky I was to see you on a daily basis. Now that we’re deeper into the college year, I don’t see you as often as I would like. I’m sorry for being so passive when it came to what we had. Seeing you today also made me think of how next year you will be here and I will not be. I know I made the right decision because that...
To My Future Husband:
It’s like your a toddler and we’re playing hide and seek. You’ve hidden yourself in a very obvious place, and I, not wanting to spoil the fun of the game, am still “trying” to find you in every other nook and cranny I can. It’ll be quite the exhausting game, but the prize is worth waiting to win. I love you now, and I always will, and I’ll remind you of...
To My Future Wife:
I want you and only you. I want you to lay your head on my chest. I’d take a deep long breath and smell your perfume. I’d stoke your hair as you share all of your thoughts and dreams with me. We’ll drift off into sleep while talking and wake up early morning. I’ll cook you breakfast in bed. Hope you like eggs benedict and mimosas.

#Forgiveness
corycopeland:
True forgiveness begins with a repentant heart, not through works or men’s approval. Only God can grant the forgiveness we require daily. No matter how awful the things we’ve done are, God forgives a contrite heart. And He does it because He loves us.
To My Future Husband:
I thought I met you already. I thought God has made it clear to me that you are the one I am to marry. I was so very sure, so 100% sure that you were the man that God created just for me. I was so blind. I wasted so much time caring for somebody who never cared half as much as I cared about him. Because of this, my faith is shaken.
I don’t know who you are, I don’t know if I have...
To My Future Wife:
I’ll love to see you naked, no matter what your body looks like.
To My Future Husband:
Obviously we’re married because you’re very funny. Congratulations on that. Also, I’m sorry I lost a bet in high school and it forced me to walk down the aisle to ‘The Final Countdown’ by Europe. Hopefully you can teach me to be less competitive.
To My Future Wife:
I lie here in my bed tonight . I look across and see an empty space. My hands hold the silence where you will be one day. My wrists and prints touch the cold sheets which you will one day warm.
Oh divine maker, you first breathed Eve into being. From a void space, spoke into creation the fragrance of the valleys and the enchantmant of the white cliffs of Dover.
In the sea shells I can hear you...
To My Future Husband:
Please sing to me no matter how bad you think your voice is. Please take me on spontaneous dates. Please do something silly to cheer me up when I’m not in a good mood. Please take care of me when I’m sick. Please blast the music in the car when we go on road trips, just because. Please dance with me in the rain. Please laugh with me over nothing at all. Please be my best friend....
To My Future Wife:
May our relationship be a model of Christ’s love to the church. May we bring glory to God and our love really be His. May each step we take together be one more step towards oneness. May we be intimate in marriage and not a step sooner. May this love bud in commitment and flourish in the light of the Son. May divorce never be an option, and all brokenness not be rebuilt.
But rather, may we...
To My Future Husband:
Yesterday was the first day that I wrote to you and last night I was praying for you. That wherever you may be, you are safe and loved by your family just as I am. Never forget that I love you so much and that I will always will. I miss you and its times like this when I need you the most to talk to. I pray that when I see you, May it be love at 1st sight. :) I love you, Your future wife.
