He quilts when he needs to, quoting Chesterton and Keller. He is Luke from Gilmore Girls and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. He is also Aragorn and Thor.
His wife is well-known, but not too well-known.
He makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to people, but only to married people, because, you know, purity.
He is clothed with strength and dignity and a strong sense of humor. When he speaks, he speaks with the wisdom of Solomon and the wit of either Jimmy.
His children stand up when he enters the room and he doesn’t even have to ask them. His wife completely and totally adores him, boasting often about her “smokin’ hot husband.”
He serves on the deacon board, the mission board, the elder board, and he’s even good with real boards. His hands are gentle but firm, and softly calloused.
Many men are awesome, but you are the awesomest. It’s not a competition, but really, if it were, you would be winning.
There are tons of guys in the world, but you, Proverbs 32 man, with your ample character, charisma, and cash, surpass them all.
