DEAR SON, MARRYING A WOMAN WHO REMINDS YOU TO PRAY AND GET CLOSE TO GOD IS SO IMPORTANT

This short story is a reflection on the kind of love that doesn’t just support you in life, but gently steers you back to faith when you stray. A reminder that marrying someone who keeps you connected to God is one of life’s greatest blessings.

When he first met her, he was drawn to her laughter, soft, like a song he didn’t know he missed. She wasn’t the loudest in the room, nor the one trying to impress. But she had something about her, peaceful eyes, calm words, and a presence that felt like shade in the middle of a burning day.

They married a year later.

At first, things were simple. Work, meals, small joys. But as months passed, he found himself drifting, longer hours at work, missed prayers, tired evenings filled with distractions.

One evening, he came home frustrated after a long day. She greeted him as usual, smiling, warm. She served him dinner, sat with him, listened. Then, gently, she said, “Babe, have you spoken to Him today?”

He sighed. “Not today. Just tired.”

She didn’t argue. She simply reached for her Bible, opened it up on Psalm 51:10–12 and laid the Bible down beside him, and said, “Let’s pray. You can lean on Him too.”

That moment changed something. Not dramatically. Not instantly. But enough. Enough to remind him that a woman who guides your heart back to God is more than a partner, she’s a blessing.

Years later, with two children and many storms weathered, he would often whisper a prayer of thanks.

Because love fades without light. And she, she kept the light on.

Dear Son,

Marry someone who reminds you of God, even when you forget yourself. That kind of love doesn’t just grow, it saves.
