BORING MEN AND WOMEN

The real romantics imagine greying and sagging and wrinkling as the deepening of something sacred.The real romantics know that stretch marks are beauty marks and that different shaped women fit into the different shapes of men souls and that real romance is really sacrifice.

I know – you’re thinking, “Boring.”

The real romantics are the boring ones. They let another heart bore a hole deep into theirs. Life and marriage proposals aren't about one up-manship. It’s about one down-manship. It’s about the heart-boring years of sacrifice and going lower and serving.

It’s not about how well you perform your proposal. It’s about how well you let Christ perform your life.
