Even though Amber isn't currently running the marriage letters linkup, I love doing it so much that I am going to continue on! Thank you all for reading along. I love you all so much!

Dear You,
You were gone all weekend and I'm not gonna pretend I liked it. It's odd, because it's not terribly uncommon for us to go a day or so without seeing each other with our work schedules/ministry obligations. But on those days, I know that you are upstairs asleep before you have to work the night shift. This time, you weren't here. I couldn't creep on you through the crack in the door to see if you were still as cute as the last time I peeked. Yep. I really do that. And our door doesn't lock or even shut all the way -- so there isn't much you can do about it :)
And even though I missed you so much that I maaaybe shed a tear or two and even woke up in the middle of the night praying for your safety while you were away, I know that you were gone for a good reason.
This weekend, you were at Man Camp. I remember 2 years ago (back when you used to post on this blog) when you wrote a post on man camp and I about melted at your manliness. Ok this is getting a little sappy. But seriously, you are a great man of God. I imagine that the pressure of being the leader of our family must be overwhelming at times, and I am so grateful that it's not my job. I know that I struggle as a woman to take try and take charge, but I also know that I really can trust you to seek God with the decisions in our lives. In fact, when I pray, I always ask God to tell you the answer. That way I'll know it's right.
I love you and I trust you.
You're a wonderful husband.
Love,
You're Girl

That is so sweet!
this is so sweet. we need to lift up our husbands, to encourage them, to thank you and you do a wonderful post of lifting up your husband. as a wife i have struggled with wanting to have control of the reigns since we got married almost 2 years ago but when i give them up, God blesses our marriage and the relationship between husband and wife that God created so wonderfully can occur
I love the idea of continuing the marriage letters! Its so fabulous to put down in real words the reasons why our husbands are awesome. Love this letter.
"In fact, when I pray, I always ask God to tell you the answer. That way I'll know it's right." Love that.
