My Wife Loves Another Man - Who is the Other Man?

My wife loves another man. After almost eight years of marriage it has become more than obvious to me, for many reasons which I shall elaborate on shortly, and for good reason, because if this was your wife, you would want to know what to look for...

First of all, she seems to be able to find time for him, whether I am home or not. In addition, when she is not spending time with him, she seems to spend an immense amount of time talking about him. She has even been talking to other people about him. Actually, I cannot even remember the last time that a day went by when she did not bring up his name. From the time that she gets up in the morning, until late into the evening she talks about him.

He happens to be a man from her past, someone that she met long before I came in to the picture. Nevertheless, she seems to have only grown closer and closer to him since we have been married. There is no doubt in my mind that she loves him, she has even told me so. In fact, she has told me that she loves him more than she loves me and that someday she plans to be with him rather than me.

Now, I can understand that I cannot meet all of my wife's needs. And I can accept the fact that it is possible for a person to love more than one person at a time. However, whenever she mentions his name and her eyes light up the way they do it piques my curiosity. What is it about this man that is so special?

Well, my wife thinks this man can walk on water. Can you believe that? As far as she is concerned, he is just the perfect man. She has never ever spoken one negative word about him.

There is no sense in trying to discourage my wife. She has her own mind and because I love her, I want her to be happy. I want her to be with the one who can do for her the many things that I cannot. I want her to find the fullness of love that I am incapable of giving her. I want her to be satisfied in the deepest part of her being. I want all of her dreams to come true. And if he can do all of these things for her then she truly, truly should have it.

Now, some men might think that I don't love my wife; that I am rolling over and allowing some other guy to steal her away from me. But, it's not like that. It's not like that at all, because I know this man and I love him too. Are you starting to get the picture?

You see, he was willing to die for my wife, and for me, and for you too, for that matter. I'm only hoping that you can learn to love him the way that we have learned to love him. And you can, and you will, when you realize how much he loves you.

He's the man from Galilee. You may have heard of him. You might even know him by name. His name is Jesus. If you're feeling unloved, call on His name, and see if he doesn't love you like nobody in this world ever could!

I love your analogy of your wife's "other man". My husband may say the same about my love for Jesus Christ. He was jealous in the beginning but by the grace of G-d he overcame his fear of losing me to this "other man", LOL! I am truly happy to know that you love Him too!
 
Shalom in Christ!
