“... I love and fear my God, eschew evil, and I treat my lady as a partner in life...”

Perhaps it is one’s definition of perfect... however, you sound as close to a perfect man as one can get! (just my two cents)

We recently had a “Love and Respect” weekend at church. While I don’t feel I heard anything new, it was like a chef eating a meal that was prepared for him. He is familiar with all the ingredients and spices but is thrilled to have it all prepared in that way. Peter said, “Women RESPECT your husband, husband LOVE your wife.” Why the asymmetry? These are COMMANDS. One need not be commanded to do what is in one’s nature. We are both flawed but our flaws are our partner’s strength. Women love naturally, men respect naturally. Together we ARE perfect (or nearly so) and that is the lesson God wants us to learn.
