Dear LORD:
Thank you so much for Ruth and her loving question. Our relationship is so precious to me. Thank you for restoring our marriage. It would have been so lonely to go through life without her. Help us to remain constant and true, using your Word and Life as our guiding star. Amen!
Dearest Ruth:
Your MEQ today was listening to me. You did not interrupt but allowed me to continue to emote fully, even when I began to cry. I love it when you are so sensitive. I feel completely supported by you.
TBPH, it is kind of difficult to think of anything you could do beyond what you are already doing. You are great in bed. Our sex life continues to amaze and delight me. You are a sensitive and good friend and listener. You care about me deeply. You love our children.
In a word, you are pretty much perfect in my eyes.
I suppose if I had to choose any one thing I would say that I would like for you to exercise with me. I know I have told you that before, but you did not tell me that I had to come up with something new. So I will stick with the one I said the last time. Yes, that would make my life more pleasant for sure.
Take today. I pretty much had to work out today. I suspected that Jon would cancel on me. (He did.) Even so, working out with Jon does not involve cardio, and cardio is mostly what I need right now. I took advantage of the time when you were working and went to the gym.
It was lonely and depressing, but I did it anyway. I read a women's magazine. I figure out things about you from reading that stuff. You can tell me it's trash if you want, and I will not disagree. Still, it's a window into the female mind.
Nonetheless, working out is pretty unpleasant and lonely without you. I try to sneak it in so that it does not interfere with our relationship. For example, if I had not left today to go to the gym, then I would have ended up going after you got home. I am glad I did not wait for Jon for that reason.
Anyway, I just cram it out, forcing myself to do something I know is good for me but which I don't really like to do.
If you could go with me to the gym I know it would be much more fun. But I know that you don't need to work out as much as I do. So maybe you could go once in a while.
Having said that, you need to work out at least 3 times a week in order to get any benefit from it. I am not laying that on you, though. You need to pray about your life in that area and decide what the LORD wants you to do.
The way I feel telling you this is undemanding. I am OK if you do not do this. I do not want to become demanding or whining, ever. You are my precious, special love, and if you never go to the health club with me, that's OK.
Please receive this truly. I want you to come with me to the gym. But I am not demanding that you do so. That is a heartfelt, true feeling on my part. Undemanding. For sure.
Be free. But be healthy. Do whatever the LORD lays on your heart.
Love,
Me
