So I guess you're wondering what this is all about. Yes, it's another relationship post; there have been a lot of those lately. I'm talking about how to keep a woman happy. Throughout married life. Sounds tiring already.

You know I noticed something in the Bible about the elders of faith. I'd like to think their wives were secure. Maybe not always happy (I mean can a woman always be happy with all those emotions running ravage) but at least they felt secure. You know...safe. Free from worries about the things married women fret over. Free from insecurities. I'm not sure that's how they felt, but I'd like to think they were secure.

So I got to thinking, "One day I'd get married to a beautiful charming damsel. She would spend the rest of my life with me and for that very fact, I'd love to give her an awesome life in return". So I was wondering, "How do I do that?". So, by chance, I pitched it to some of my lady friends. I'll tell you what they had to say, but I must warn you...you might not like the answer.

So the ladies reached their verdict. To become a befitting suitor, you don't need to be the richest man in the world, but at least you should have a plan on how you want to become the richest man in the world. They weren't very blunt but I have learned to read between the lines. The logical conclusion is that for any lady to look your way today- whether she sings in the choir or not- you gotta have a business plan; a huge money making scheme that would guarantee her a life free of suffering. Then and then only would she be willing to take the risk of marrying you. Nowadays you gotta back up your "potential" with a full fledged money making idea.

But I wonder, why were the "wives of the elders" happy with their men. I wonder...why did Rebekah jump on that camel and scream "Take me to Isaac!" (Pardon my lucid imagination). Why was Noah's wife calm when her husband decided to dedicate his time and resources to building a boat? I mean ladies, would you marry a man who just wants to build a boat? To keep animals?

You see, my point is simple. Those ladies were secure because they knew their husbands were good pals with God. I think-of course I could be wrong- that those women were calm knowing that their husbands could hear directly from the creator of the world. They were steadfast, because their men were rolling with true power, the highest power in the land and the skies for that matter. So to answer my question. How do I plan on keeping my wife happy, or even getting her to marry me in the first place? I would have to convince her that I too roll with the power-that-is and I can hear Him give me instructions. I have to actually spend time honing my listening skills till I am very much in tune with the Father. Because at the end of the day, that's the only security I can offer her. I can't promise I'd always be rich, famous, smart, handsome or the talk of the town. But I can promise that I would always follow God's leading and I would show her clear evidence of the beauty of following God's leading in my life. If that's not enough for her, then...err...you know what comes next.

So people, that's my grand proposal plan and I'm feeling pretty confident about it. So before you go, if you're a guy, let me know your proposal plan. If you're a girl, let me know the grand proposal plan worthy of your hand in marriage. I would love to know your views. Let me know. What should make a happy wife?
