As I continue to prepare for my fast for my future wife, I have decided to focus on four key areas of our marriage
1) Grace-The foundation of our marriage will be to lead each other into a deeper relationship with Christ. Through doing this, we will seek to lead others (in particular our children), into a living relationship with Christ that will save them from the Lake of Fire and allow them to live with Him forever in paradise. Our marriage only has value if it accomplishes this goal.
2) Love-I will pray that my future wife and I will experience "The Sexual Force Unleashed" and "Romantic World Peace" well into our elderly years. No reason to let all the young whippersnappers have all of the fun, haha!
3) Justice-I will ask God to allow us to properly raise our children with DISCIPLINE (so that they don't turn into the delinquents my nation's schools are churning out). I will also pray for the strength to protect and LEAD my family so that God's Will is done in it. In addition, I will pray that me and my wife deal justly with others and properly manage the resources God will give us.
4) Truth-I will pray that my wife and I each get a "Navy SEAL" team of same-gender, Christian best friends to keep us accountable (i.e. make sure we don't watch/read porn, masturbate, or cheat on each other with bodacious college babes/totally-ripped college studs). I will also pray that we are open and honest with each other and communicate the truth IN LOVE (i.e. no swearing, hitting, or breaking stuff). I will also pray that we get older couples to mentor us so that we stay focused on serving Christ and loving our family and others. Mentors who are willing to put us in our place if we get out of line...
Please pray that I successfully do this, because it's going to be REALLY difficult!
