Getting ready to meet the Love of your life. Wisdom?

Please write 3 things you have dropped and 3 things you have added this year in preparation to meet the love of your life!

Ill start

3 Things i added

This year I've worked hard at keeping my word as I never thought it that important before. The last relationship i had helped me understand the value
of it

Reading my Bible and prayer life: I spend more time reading my Bible and having a prayer life this year then I ever had before.

I run a Christian FB group ministry where i manage 3000 people and their posts and create my own from scratch to glorify God.

3 Things i chopped

Lying...half lies a quarter lies small lies and white lies all went....in preparation to be completely honest in my walk with God and others. Quite profound when we have a good hard look at what being honest really means.

Some friends that were a bad influence on my character

the amount of meals i eat per day

When I read this, I believe that “the love of my life” is Jesus, so I’ll run with this.

Added:
1. Networking with other Christ like minded people
2. More devotionals and prayer time
3. Career opportunities

Chopped:
1. Secular environment
2. Sugar (well most not all 😬)
3. My hair 😂

Added:
- Do more of what I love - rekindle my life's passion(s)
- Live more in the Present - keep active, stay busy and productive
- Strive to become the best version of me possible in my walk with HIM
Subtracted:
- Cease looking back and grieving over the past
- Stop worrying about the future - ie things I can not control
- Do less of what I tolerate and none of what I hate...

Years ago I decided to not spend my time worrying about it. Marriage is not guaranteed, so spending your life actively prepping for it so much seems a waste of time.
Many things, though not all, could be changed simply by trying to improve yourself regardless of ever meeting anyone.
Work on yourself for yourself, spend a little time working on things about marriage in case you do meet someone. And what if you never meet someone, what motivation do you have for self improvement if so much of it is hung up on meeting someone?

I can't think of any Ohhh...yeah i added some

It's hard to improve when I can't see a thing wrong with the way I currently am. The only thing I wanted to change about me was the backlog of stored food, and I changed that easily enough.

Maybe that's actually a good sign that I NEED a wife. Somebody to tell me what I need to change when I can't see what needs changing. But I think I'm happier this way.

This is a good mindset and one I want to have. Personal growth is for wherever God takes me in life. That may or may not include marriage. But I still want to be the best version of me regardless. My list is the same either way.

1. I'm got a new hat
2. I'm got a new cane
3. I learned to tap dance

I saw it in an old movie... I'm pretty sure that's what women want.

Yes, a wife will tell you what you need to change. Probably there’s a good number of things that needs a change that you are not aware of yourself. Have no doubts, a wife will fix this little problem of yours in a heartbeat. The professional term here is “nagging”.🤗😜😄

I’ve been a wife for many years, so I know everything about husbands needing a change😜😁.
