1. One who when we have a dispute, instead of insulting me because of anger; still speaks to me with love
2. One who when faced with temptations of the flesh to be with another; the Spirit causes him to flee
3. One who even when mad at me prays for me; the flesh sees prayer as a favour, the Spirit cannot help but pray
4. One who will tell me off when I am going against God's ways; to keep my flesh in check
5. One who will see raising our children is not just an assignment of provision, but also a spiritual assignment
6. One who when they get fleshy marital advice from outsiders, will discern well and not apply
7. One who will not seek revenge in marriage like the flesh likes to do; but will seek reconciliation led by the Spirit
8. One who will be God's mouthpiece in our marriage, knowing the right words of love to speak in order to minister, encourage and bless
9. One who will not be preoccupied in pleasing outsiders and relatives; but pleasing God
10. One who when even far from me will still be accountable to God, I don't need to worry; a spouse who knows God is watching
11. One who is not governed by selfishness, anger and lust of the flesh; but one led by love, peace...the fruit of the Holy Spirit
12. One who sees me more than a spouse to fulfill a role; but as someone created in the image of God and my body as the temple of the Holy Spirit hence won't abuse me
May I also be that kind of spouse
