Sent my missing husband a text. Tell me what you think?
After contemplating my own behavior in my "drama", I have realized many things about me. I have been afraid to truly allow myself to love. And in all my pretense of being "strong" and "above" it all, I have realized that I am truly in love with my husband. I didn't know this until God showed me.
Will you read the text message I wrote to my husband and tell me what you think?
"B-----, I am not the strong person I pretend to be. I am overwhelmed with grief and I am overwhelmed with not knowing what to do. You were right, I have guarded myself so much out of fear that people will find out that I am just a scared little girl. I push out of fear. God is doing a work in me, God has shown me so much. Believe the best in me.....as I do you. We can make it through this. I have realized how much in love with you that I am. I am at peace with it. I have never known such a powerful love before. I feel you even though you are far away. This love made me afraid and I didn't trust it. I needed this time apart to find me, again. And to realize how much I truly love you. God knows my heart. I come to you with humility and to ask for a real chance at our marriage, when you are ready. This is the woman you fell in love with....your friend. I am with you, as you are with me. God has truly blessed my soul....with you, my husband. I value our marriage and the vows we said. I value you, the man. I have been so wrong. Pray and let God show you. Read your Bible to find answers."
I can not be objective enough to know how this text message sounds. Will you help me. by giving me an honest, yet thoughtful opinion? I am coming to terms with many things about what happened to cause my husband pain. I was one of those things. I am trying to save my marriage. What I had with my husband is so rare.....I don't know what to do.
Thank you ahead of time for your compassion.

Hi Diane,
This is a beautiful message. It strikes me as being humble, heartfelt and sincere. My impression is that you feel contrite over whatever happened or however you were. If I received this message, it would make me stop and think.
I have only two small suggestions. I was so impressed by what you wrote to us. That's what made me interested in reading your message. I'm talking about what you wrote both before the text and after it. They're almost your most poignant words. Could you incorporate the same words you used to us into your message? They're quite compelling, and I think your husband would find them to be the same way.
My other suggestion is that you say: "I value you, the man. I have been so wrong," but you don't expand on it. Maybe you would rather not at this time. I just thought you might say a sentence or two more about what you value about him and why you're sorry. A little bit of flattery never hurt anyone as long as it's given in sincerity, which I'm sure it would be.
Punctuation and Grammar: (I'm being so picky -- did you want me to be?)
After "You were right," you need a period, not a comma.
After "God is doing a work in me," you need a period, not a comma.
"I have realized how much in love with you that I am" -- omit "that"
Please understand that these two suggestions are merely that and are nothing more than my own feelings. Your message itself, as it is now, is beautiful and meaningful. I don't know the circumstances regarding what happened or when you last were in touch with your husband, so you may have written enough already. Only you can be the judge of that. If you've written everything you care to write in your message, then please don't fool with it! It's too good to tinker with!
I wish God's blessing on your marriage and hope that your text will go a long way toward repairing what might be wrong with it. You write so well! Best of luck to you! :)
