Freedom within a relationship

Freedom as a woman and an individual is hard to come by when you are in a relationship, be thankful when it comes along. 

So, I had a weekend with my guy this past weekend.  We spent time talking about pertinent things, and getting to really see how the other thinks and approaches things as far as finances, household stuff, food (he definitely doesn't cook, but MAN! can he clean!), learning things about each other, and teaching each other things.  I taught him about wine and hummus this weekend, and he taught me about his food preferences (no mushrooms!).

He's teaching me that day by day, he is truly interested in me and my interests, and my hopes and dreams.  He's teaching me that I can teach him to enjoy life, as we all need to.

Through that, he was supportive this weekend, and made me feel very much appreciated.  In that, I felt that I could share my blessing with someone else, and I did just that.  I did make sure he knew that I was able to pay for things on my own, so the gift for the friend was paid for by me, and so it was directly from me.

I truly hope that this relationship is what it is on the face of it.  Because if I'm able to share the love, then that's what I truly hope I can continue to do.  I think overall, a relationship should be supportive and growing in such a way that it increases your ability to share with the community around it.  Some of the most powerful Christian Couples I know are that way.  They love each other enough to be free in ministering to another individual that they feel led to minister to.
