5 Responsibilities of Being a Boyfriend

3/14/2016

As of Tuesday I am officially a boyfriend. My girlfriend has never had a boyfriend before, which got me started thinking, I have a big responsibility here! Thinking about it, though, all guys have a HUGE responsibility going into any relationship regardless of how many or how few boyfriends a girl has had!
 
My goal here is not to
​provide an all-inclusive list. That would be impossible anyway. I just want to cover a few of the big ones that come to mind.
 
Some of the verses used in this article are written to married couples, however, if you read past articles on this page (like this one and this one) you will see that Christian romantic relationships should always be purposefully headed towards marriage. Therefore, you should be modeling some marital behaviors now anyway!
 
So, without further ado, here is a list of some of the responsibilities that a guy has to his girlfriend!

An open letter to My Girlfriend

2/14/2016

Kassie,
​
Last year for Valentine’s Day I wrote a love letter to my future wife. I was single and not so thrilled about it but was trying to make the best of it. This year things are so different. This year I have you I my life. This year I am spending Valentine’s Day with a woman I was beginning to doubt existed.
 
I know we haven’t been together long, but you have already stolen my heart. Never before have I met a woman like you and never could I have imagined what it would be like if I did. You are positively gorgeous, Kassie. I can’t get enough of your smile and I get lost staring into your eyes. As beautiful as you are on the outside, though, it is your heart for God that I can’t resist.
Never before have I met a person who challenged me the way you do. When I talk to you I want to be a better Christian and a better man. I dream about serving God with you by my side. I have been praying for a partner in ministry and here you pop up like a direct answer to that prayer. You love God more than anyone else and that is the most attractive thing in the entire world.
 
You go above and beyond what I ever expected I would find in a woman. I didn’t know I would find a woman who loves God as much as you, adores family the way you do, and is as fun to be around as you are! I didn’t know I would feel this way (especially not this early on). I didn’t realize how happy I would be.
 
Whatever happens from here, Kassie, I pray we can keep God at the center of it. I want us to grow closer to Him together. I feel like God has brought us together for this purpose. This is all new to me but I promise to do my best to lead our relationship towards Christ. I promise to always try to keep God first and always follow His lead.
 
I will never be perfect but I will always do my best to show you the love, respect, and attention you deserve. We may never have a million dollar house or a luxury car but you will never have to worry about whether you have my heart. We may not ever achieve world domination (even though it’s on the 10 year plan) but you won’t be left alone or unloved.
 
Whatever is to come and wherever God wants us to go I am excited to go, especially if it is with you. I am excited about making memories with you. I’m with you to the end of the line, Kassie (Captain America reference, you will understand soon enough).
 
Happy Valentine’s Day. I hope this is the first of many.
 
Signed,
A man who is quickly falling in love with you,
Dakota
