Dear Future Wife: The Official Playbook of the Relationship Game
()
About this ebook
“Dear Future Wife” is more than just a mere “Playbook” about offensive (X’s) and defensive (O’s) relationship/marital coaching strategies, viewpoints, insights and advice. It’s more like a beautiful, visual odyssey through a series of golden nuggets of wisdom (or “Plays”), and actual handwritten open letters, written by myself, to my future wife; with the hopes of inspiring the hearts of those who are curious about love, invoking true godly love in the spirit of the heart, mind, body and soul of not only my future wife, but also within those who dream of their future spouse as well. “Dear Future Wife” is also for those who have already ventured into to the depths of relationships and marriage – but are simply in need of a refreshing, “kingdom” push, back in the right direction. What innocently started as a way of venting from my past hurts in the realm of numerous failed relationships, quickly evolved and forged into a passion for inspiring and empowering both men and women who are gearing up to become wives and husbands, as well as helping to prepare them holistically, to receive their future spouses. I guarantee, there’s something to help everyone and every couple in this book… taste and see! I only ask that you use the wisdom you gained during this journey, to help someone else! Pay it forward…

Letters to her…
Dear Future Wife,
The road to success is always under construction. What lies ahead of us won’t always be smooth or clear, but just know that as long as God is leading us, hand in hand, side by side, the destination will always be beautiful….
Love Forever,
B
Let all that you do be done in love.
- 1 Corinthians 16:14
Chapter 2
Bold: (of a person, action, or idea) showing an ability to take risks; confident and courageous.
The Play (XOXO’s):
The realm of a relationship/marriage was created by God to be a beautiful place of peace. So BE BOLD IN LOVE!!
Don’t be scared to show your mate off to the world, but within reasonable measure. Discretion is extremely valuable in a relationship, but we’ll address that subject, more in depth later on our journey throughout this book.
Be CONFIDENT within your relationship/marriage! Nothing should be off limits; LIMITATIONS = SECRETS!
Be COURAGEOUS within your relationship/marriage! True love, knows no limits, so you should never be fearful within the confines of your union, with your mate.
Take both uncalculated and calculated risks in your relationship. Don’t be scared to think outside the box! Try new things together. (In life, business endeavors, goal setting, in the bedroom or outside the bedroom etc.)
Build: Construction (something, typically something large) by putting parts or materials together over a period of time.
The Play (XOXO’s):
For every monument that has stood the test time, and history, they all were built with one thing in common… they were all constructed on an unprecedented foundation.
GOD MUST BE the foundation and the epicenter of the relationship/marriage, in order for the union to span the test of time!
Build monuments of everlasting love, hand in hand, side by side with your mate. Be a DREAM TEAM
All monumental relationships have to be well planned out, designed, and executed/built with the right building materials. (Faith, Love, Friendship, Communication, Trust, Loyalty, etc.)
The HOLY BIBLE should be the blueprint for your relationship!
Iron sharpens iron! (Proverbs 27:17)
Build successful kingdom based empires together, as a power couple and servants of GOD.
Build a family nucleus within the home.
Build your mate up with beautiful words of love, affirmation and compassion… never, ever tear them down verbally. No form of abuse is acceptable by any means, but verbal abuse, by far, is the most detrimental. SPEAK LIFE OVER & INTO YOUR MATE AT ALL TIMES, NO EXCUSES!!!
Believe: To accept (something) as true; feel sure of the truth of; hold (something) as an opinion; think or suppose.
The Play (XOXO’s):
BELIEVE in your mate.

Uplift your mate.
Never doubt your mate, unless there is a blatant trail of deception, disrespect or a behavior pattern that suggests that he or she is obviously being evasive.
