Ok ....so I was having a conversation w/ "Mr. X" last night...who is actually a friend of mine and we were discussing my blog concerning the 20 things I wanted my future husband to know. After reading my list and posting a comment his response to me was a challenge to think of even 10 things I thought I needed to know/work on etc. He said he was only expecting ten because in his words, he "knew I couldnt come up with 20"...I guess his assumption is that Im too arrogant to think there could possibly be more than 10 things I still actually need to master and or understand fully before becoming someone's wife :o) Well Mr. X....I accept your challenge and I will have you know that I was very thoughtful in compiling the list below and while I do admit Im a work in progress regarding some...Im pretty sure Ive gotten a few under my belt already..I hope he and other brothers who might read this will agree that its a pretty good list nonetheless. 25 Things That I'll Need to Know as a Future Wife:

Wow a woman that finally gets it...
Well...that's not something you see everyday...you see world, we (women) do know our part and the position we play in the game of marriage and love. I would like to include a few of my own..
-Let a man be a man. Sometimes ladies, we are going to have to let him stand alone and not nurture or mother him. He's your King,let him lead.
-Also, be his no.# cheerleader when he shares with you his dreams and aspirations. Give him that extra push of convidence that,"WE can do this together!"
-Lastly, marriage is more than a relationship, it's a partnership. Be part of the team, the solution, the result...don't settle for the sidelines. Men want their wives to walk beside them, not behind them.
Well Diva, I think you covered the rest of the bases...Girl Power and Fella, man up! Your women and futures are waiting...

WOW! If this was some tv gameshow, you definately would have walked away with the million dollars. You have no idea how many notches this raises you on any man's scale that read this blog. It's d@mn near erotic. I think all in all, the blog echos number 14, with mental stimulation.

Wow!!!!! I read the 25 list and thought it was Light Weight amazing.
As a man it is in our nature to lead and provide. I know sometimes we could can be stubborn and selfish but remember we are a product of our enviornment so before we judge each other we must first look at ourselves.
A man wants a women that he can share his dreams with and a man wants to help his lady accomplish hers. Help us lead and we will find new ways to love you everyday as you will always be first in our lives. Remember every man has a some sort of ego and a since of pride. There is a fine line between keeping him grounded and challanging his manhood. You must be cognizent of that.
A man truley loves his lady when whats important to her is even more important to him. There is no doubt the above list will make his love stronger for his future wife.
