Being Cheated On Sucks
corycopeland:
“Being Cheated on Sucks” | NEW POST
http://wp.me/p1NmD4-px “Once a cheater, always a cheater”
It’s possible you’ve heard this saying a few thousand times in your lifetime (possibly even with a “giiiiirlfriiieeennndd” on the end) and in some cases, it’s probably accurate. Someone breaks our heart by running around… View Post shared via WordPress.com
To My Future Wife:
Would you mind if I wrote our story, but did it as a romance novel? Somehow, I don’t think you’ll mind ;)
To My Future Wife:
I’ll do my best to like and respect your parents, even when they don’t like or respect me. They gave me you and for that, I am eternally grateful.
To My Future Wife:
I’m going to need you to teach me how to dance. I’m too clumsy and too white to be able to do it well. Can you handle that?
To My Future Wife:
Our sex is the best sex and I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world. The connection I feel with you is unreal and I can’t wait to experience that every day for the rest of my life.
To My Future Wife:
Knowing you, and knowing that I can’t be with you yet, is one of the hardest things to do. I won’t tell you how much I would move heaven and earth to be with you. Or how much I wish I were Superman so that I could spin around the earth in order to speed up time. I can’t do those things, so saying them would mean little. But, what I can do—what I will do—is wait. I...
To My Future Wife:
So talking to my boss today about marriage (such a weird talk), it gave me something to look forward to. I haven’t thought about it for a while, but after that unusual conversation, I am.
My boss got engaged after 3 dates, 3 FREAKING DATES (and he fell asleep during one). Now, I don’t know that will happen for me ,but to be that sure…gosh, I dont know. Just to be with a person who is...
corycopeland:
My new book (a devotional) will be made available a lot sooner if you’re kind enough to pitch in. Check the video out!
(your pledge isn’t even collected until the 8th of August and ONLY if the entire amount is raised) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/corycopeland/we-are-not-hoodlums-a-devotional
A Letter to the Good Guys
corycopeland:
A Letter to the Good Guys | New Post http://wp.me/p1NmD4-pt
Dear Good Guys,
To be honest, this letter is hard to write. I find myself conflicted because I once counted myself as a faithful member of your legions. But over my time, I’ve broken too many hearts, been too selfish, and caused too much damage. However,…

What does a Good Guy Look Like?
corycopeland:
Yesterday, I posted a letter to the Good Guys. Here’s a description of who and what they actually are: http://corycopeland.net/2011/08/31/the-good-guys/
You Choose!
corycopeland:
I’ll sing you a song or write anything you want. I’ll even take you to dinner and a movie. It’s your choice!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/corycopeland/we-are-not-hoodlums-a-devotional
To My Future Husband:
I would be okay if you proposed with a ring pop and we went ring shopping later. I want to be completely surprised when the time comes.
PS. Don’t forget to get my father’s blessing first
To My Future Husband:
I’m not expecting you to be this perfect romantic psychologist like most girls seem to think their husbands will be. Let’s face it; men and women are different. You probably aren’t going to have any idea what to do when I’m crying. The apologies you give will probably be awkward, and you might not even know why you’re apologizing. But I understand that. I’ll...
To My Future Husband:
Forgive me if I meet a boy or two along the way who tricks me into believing they’re you.
To My Future Husband:
My dream is to be married on Feburary 29th. That means I have four years to find you and share this hair-brained scheme I have for the idea of love. I hope you don’t mind, or won’t, whenever you come about.
To My Future Husband:
I’ll be your Irene Adler if you’ll be my Sherlock Holmes.
To My Future Husband:
I won’t give up on us.
Oh No....
corycopeland:
My new book is 17% funded with 13 days to go. It’s an “all or nothing” campaign, so I need YOUR help, please!

Why Relationships Fail
corycopeland:
NEW POST | “Why Relationships Fail”
http://wp.me/p1NmD4-po Relationships fail for many reasons. You’ve seen it happen a thousand times and I’ve seen the same. And while each relationship is composed of different parts and therefore is its own unique snowflake, it doesn’t change the fact that a lot of… View Post shared via WordPress.com

“We are not Hoodlums” http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/corycopeland/we-are-not-hoodlums-a-devotional
To My Future Husband:
Let’s move to Ithaca, New York together. It’s my dream home :)
To My Future Wife:
There is no substitute for a woman I can laugh with. Be that woman.
To My Future Husband:
I never could have imagined that simply by loving you I could feel complete. You are my better half, the other part of me that helps me to strive to be the best I can be. It’s funny saying the word “soul mate” because that’s so cliche, but I know when I use it to describe you it’s no longer cheesy but perfect. You’re perfect. I know that’s an...
To My Future Wife:
Is it okay if I pick you up and give you a piggyback ride? I’ve always wanted to do that…
To My Future Husband:
I promise to always be playful, always want to cuddle, & always tackle you back. I will always play video games with you & gloat when I win. I will always chase our (future) children around the house with you. I will never let the fun die.
To My Future Wife:
i cnt b w/u if u typ lik dis.
To My Future Husband:
Even if I dreamed of you a million times, I could never fathom the sweet taste of your lips or your overwhelmingly luscious aroma. Knowing that your out there and never even feeling the soft stroke of your hand against mine drives me wild. Closing my eyes at night and not waking up to you doesn’t ease the ache or stop the pain, it makes it all the more unbearable. All I ever do is think of...

Some things are hard to say and even harder to read. This is that.

http://wp.me/p1NmD4-pe Dear Ladies,
There’s something I need you to know. And honestly, you may already realize it and if so, I apologize. Regardless, I find myself unable to let this pass quietly in the night, and so I write this to you today in hopes of allowing you to… View Post shared via WordPress.com

The State of Grace: a response to tragedy

The State of Grace: a response to tragedy | Special Post
http://wp.me/p1NmD4-p9 This past weekend saw the state of Colorado—and effectively our nation—plunged once again into a state of shocked mourning. A man named James, lost in some imagined world of heroes and villains, put a mask on his face, wrapped himself in Kevlar, and… View Post shared via WordPress.com
Understanding Sex
corycopeland:
NEW POST | “Understanding Sex”
http://wp.me/p1NmD4-oX To understand something means to dissect it, to study it, and to fully immerse yourself within its world so that you may fully grasp all that it entails—except to do that with sex, you’d probably have to watch a lot of porn or have a lot of sex, so let’s… View Post shared via WordPress.com
To My Future Husband:
Forgive me for the activities I’ve engaged it. I thank God for being so graceful and under all circumstances giving me the strength to remain a virgin. I find peace in that one day I will be walking down the lane in a white gown, God handing me over to you. I long for the day we become one and rejoice in finally having each other.
To My Future Wife:
Can we listen to MJ and dance it dirty every now and then?
To My Future Husband:
We’ll dance in the kitchen when we’re making dinner, spinning around and around until we’re disoriented and- oh, dear!- the bread’s burnt. We’ll embarrass our kids with our flirting. We’ll be honest with each other, always, and never go to bed angry. We’ll be one soul filling a house, rather than two shells living together. We’ll love each other, and...
To My Future Wife:
Would it be okay if I read some of my favorite books to you? Or maybe we can just read them together and discuss? However it happens, I want to share my love of books and literature with you.
To My Future Husband:
I long for the day when I can hold you in my arms, feel the warmth of your heart and call you mine. I long for the day when I can tell you everything, and for you to love me even when I am on my period. I long for the day when I discover that you are the only guy I need in my life and I am the only girl you need in yours and finally, I long for the day when you discover that I already love you.
To My Future Wife:
If you won’t tell anyone, I’ll do Pinterest projects with you!
Require more from Your Relationship
corycopeland:
Over the last ten months, I’ve written about relationships quite a bit. It’s a subject that’s close to my heart because I believe our generation is somewhat lost when it comes to the intricacies of love and relationships, and the pain that can …

Could you please open this pickle jar?
To My Future Husband:
Don’t worry about your past. The past isn’t something I’ll look at and be ashamed. I love you:)
Your princess in hiding האנה
To My Future Husband:
I look to the days that I can love, cherish and adore you, to be in your the warmth of your heart and to not care where we live or what we live in as long as I am with you.
To My Future Husband:
I may look like an innocent little kitten, but I will love you like a lioness.
To My Future Husband:
I’m currently sitting outside whilst having my ‘God time’, soaking up nature and His other amazing creations. I can’t wait for the awesome prayer sessions that we’ll have and our life growing together towards God and living for Him. Words can’t express how excited I am to meet you! Love from your eager future wife, Holly
To My Future Husband:
I dreamt of you last night. I was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, while patting my swollen stomach. You came down the stairs, dressed snappily in your suit, and gave me a smile.
You kissed my stomach, then my lips, and went off to work.
I can’t wait to meet you. I can’t wait to start a family with you.
The Stockholm Syndrome Blues (by Matthew Hill)

Who’s heard of the psychological phenomenon known as Stockholm Syndrome? Okay, probably very few of you. I am usually alone in my love for psychology. It’s fairly simple though. Basically, it is the idea that those in captivity can come to …
