You rest your chin on my hand when you stand next to me in the morning. I ask you, "are you safe today?" and you answer "yes" I ask, is that why you are happy? and you answer "yes" I hold your chin a little tighter and ask if you're thankful for that and you say yes. At this moment, your soul has been summoned by my fixed gaze and it is now, as if your entire being is in my hands. I then ask, "do you promise to submit your feelings to my authority today as I submit to God's authority?" ...only then will I know if I have taken the right woman by my side in the life God has created for me here on the west coast of Sweden.
