The tagline of the Completing Him series says, “Becoming the woman your man needs.”

I think it’s catchy and cute and fits perfectly with the challenge.

However…

a reader mentioned her disappointment with the word ‘becoming’ saying, “I don’t have to become what my husband needs, I already am, that’s why he married me.”

Valid point, wouldn’t you say? Sure made me think twice about the tagline. And the word “becoming.”

So I’m thinking about her comment and about ‘becoming’ and I’m thinking how we are all becoming something, because none of us are complete. In fact, we will not be complete until that glorious day when we join the saints in heaven. So for now, we are being sanctified…we are becoming.

And yes, we are even becoming the women our husbands need, because even though our husbands chose to marry us because of who we are, a relationship grows and stretches and becomes itself. We learn more about our husbands through the weeks, months, and years, and we learn how to better compliment them with each passing season. We learn how to be what our husband needs as we walk alongside him, study him, seek after his heart, and observe the details of who he is.

As we learn, and as we pay attention, we will become what he needs; we will know him better than anyone else on this earth.

We are always becoming, always growing, always learning, always conforming more to the image of Jesus Christ, in our lives and in our marriages.

Isn’t it beautiful that our God doesn’t keep us stagnant?

So friends, go forth, and become!


Thank you Sarah Mae for an inspirational word!
