I Want a Husband

I figured I'd just put all of my AP language writing assignments on here since I don't really write apart from school... So here ya go. Call me a hopeless romantic.

I Want a Husband.

Girls always talk about finding that Mr. Right. For some it’s a man with a beard, motorcycle, and perhaps a few dead deer hanging up in the house. Classic redneck. Girls talk about marrying the “babes”, with sun-kissed skin and European accents. Some girls want jocks, some cowboys, and some surfers. Me? I want to marry my best friend – nothing more, nothing less.

I want a husband who works to provide for a possible family, and me but will expect me to hold up my end of the bargain. I want a husband who is kind and considerate in all areas of life, but hold strong to his own opinion. I want a husband who will take me on adventures and surprise me with the little things. I want a husband who has many interests, and doesn't consider a marriage or a family as a hindrance to fulfilling his dreams. I want a husband who gets excited to see me and laughs when I have mood swings and makes me soup when I’m sick. I want a husband who lets me take care of him and tells me about his problems and insights. I want a husband who I know as well as myself. I want a husband who has clear priorities and sets goals on a constant basis. I want a husband who treats me as well as my dad treats my mom.

I want a husband who wants his wife to be someone like me. I want a husband who tells me he loves me and means everything he says. I want a husband who is my best friend, and who makes me forget about any rednecks or babes or jocks or cowboys of seasons past. I want a husband who makes me consider myself the luckiest girl in the world.
