Most men spend most of their free time doing most of the things that satisfy themselves, while the seeming love of their life sits on the sidelines just observing, but rarely participating. It's time to wake up before experiencing a heart rending break up! Re-evaluate the relationship that now exists between the two of you. Do you love her, and if so, how often do you let yourself become vulnerable enough to make her your queen; not only for a day, but for all of the remaining days of your gifted lives. If you will begin to do this, your greatest joys are about to become a reality. You will truly experience the God ordained, highest form of life offered to man. She will then become all that you have ever wanted or needed!
