His intentions should be...

...to lead me to Heaven.

You know how in the movies a father will ask a young man "what are your intentions with my daughter?"  Usually the answer is "I want to marry her sir, and I'd like to ask for your blessing."

Well I was thinking about this the other day, and on that day when my father asks that question of a man for me I wan a different answer.

I want his intention to be getting me to Heaven.

What Britt? You don't want the man to marry you?

Oh guys of course I do, I hope to one day be married, but listen, marriage is serious.

Marriage is a vocation; a sacramental vocation.

When you get married, you take on a very serious job. It is your JOB to lead your spouse to Heaven. When you get married, you are saying that you love your spouse. That you want the best for your spouse, and you care about them. It is not just a feeling kids, it is a serious desire for your spouse to have the best and to be their best.

I don't want my future husband to only want me to be happy. I don't want him to be all typical like "I want your daughter to be happy, and I want to provide for her."

I mean, those things are great and all I would LOVE to be happy all the time....providing for me financially? well that sure would be nice, but let's be honest it isn't necessary.

Now, providing for me spiritually...whoah! Seriously imagine it, a man wanting with his whole being that you, SPECIFICALLY YOU, make it to Heaven; wanting to make sure that you are filled spiritually. A man who wants you to know your Lord, and know His love...seriously guys I don't think it gets any better than that on this here planet.
