Jonathan

As most of you know, I just spent 6 days with my sweet boyfriend and his family in Cincinnati. I had a great time. Everything just seems to fit with us.

If you've known me for a long time, you know I was the Queen of Single. For a long time, I detested relationships and the thought of marriage. It had just never turned out well for me before.

Jonathan has changed that for me. He's so respectful. Chivalrous. Gentlemanly. I never thought men could be like that.

When I ask him why he likes me, he says things like my intelligence or personality instead of my appearance.

He goes to extreme lengths to take care of me and protect me.

He cares about my opinion. He thinks I'm smart.

He never puts me down, especially in public. He never says bad things about me to anyone. He doesn't even playfully berate me.

Jonathan encourages me to be a better Christian. We both want to pray and study and worship together.

Like everyone, we have our disagreements. We have spats and I hang up on him and he stops talking. But we always talk it out before bed. It's usually a product of stress or a misunderstanding. We always learn from it though and know better for the next time.

His family likes me. This has never happened before. The families of my exes always hated me. This is a big deal to me.

I know we've only been together for 2 months. And IF we get engaged it will be years from now, but I know one thing: I hope he's the one. I'm in no hurry and neither is he. But I don't know anyone who could be a better fit. It just feels right. It's so much better than any other relationship I've been in.
