My wife is amazing. When I reflect on the difficulties I face, my thoughts are never far from my wife and how much more things will be difficult for her. She is like a ballet dancer who makes doing difficult things appear easy and graceful. While I am away she will be juggling four kids and the hormones that come with the developing fifth. She will be roadtripping and nesting in multiple places. And she will do it all with graciousness, and gracefulness.
I knew she was the one for me when she explained to me that she understood that being in a relationship with me was going to mean living life on a roller coaster. She told me that she was ready for that roller coaster. She has been faithful on that ride. She doesn't complain. She doesn't grudgingly go along; she robustly supports me no matter how bleak the circumstances seem. She has a way of making me believe in me. She has a way of making everywhere she is feel like our home. She can put me in my place, but she doesn't wield that power for her own amusement (well not unless she is teaming up with my friends, in which case, she may lead the party...). She is always seeking to make me more comfortable and to raise the quality of our children's lives. She is consistent and not handed over to crazy mood swings. She is reasonable. She has endurance (can you imagine having to argue with me?). She is a trooper in the way she marches right through the most hopeless of situations. She is lovely
I will be going into basic training in a couple of days. I will go having been empowered by my partner. I will go do what I have to do, without the worries, of my family, because I know with whom I work. Marrying my wife is the single best decision I have ever made. God made just one, and graced me with her... I am the wealthiest man; I have the best wife.

You are a blessed man, Adam. Tiffanie's worth is far above rubies. The way you honor each other is an example to so many of us. We are praying for you all.

That is the perfect verse.
