****This is one of my old posts that I am leaving up. It has earned its place on the Interwebs.
Tall. Muscular. Handsome. Curly black hair, stunning eyes, squared-off jawline. That shy, winning smile, deep, kind eyes... Ability to fly to boot! Who wouldn't want to marry Superman?
But though all the aforementioned reasons do apply to yours truly, my real reasons behind this statement are somewhat different.
Superman is patient. Even when the world is collapsing around him or people are being difficult, he shows a calm spirit toward everything.
Superman is kind. Not just nice, or polite. He truly cares for those he comes in contact with, whether he knows them or not. He reassures those who are frightened, comforts those who are in despair, protects those who are vulnerable. He is compassionate and considerate and will stop at nothing to protect the people he loves. He wants the best for everyone, and is always trying to provide the best for them.
Superman is humble. For all the amazing things he does, he does not ask for any accolades or glory. He is content to do what is right, and while he appreciates a thank you, he will never demand recognition.
Superman is a gentleman. I'm willing to bet that if I met him on the street, he would open any doors I needed to go through, carry some of my grocery bags, allow me to go first, or offer me his hand to help me up if I fell. Not because I am incapable of doing these things myself, but simply out of respect, and out of the goodness in his heart.
Superman is selfless. He is willing to give his life for the sake of someone else. No matter the personal consequences, no matter how idiotic it may seem to those around him, he will take whatever leap of faith necessary to ensure that they are safe and provided for.
Superman is manly. Yes, he can be violent. Yes, he can get angry. And he does so for good reason - and good reasons only. He knows how to pick a fight, and when he does, he fights with all he has. He is not easily angered, and he doesn't hold grudges. When there's a problem, he deals with it. He is strong both mentally and physically, and mature enough to know when to negotiate and when to break out the big guns. (Speaking of guns: Those biceps though...)
Superman is noble. He keeps himself away from anything that might distract him from his purpose. He knows how to live well. He is happiest when all is well - when he can stop and spend time with those he loves most. He wants such a life for everyone, which is why he constantly sacrifices his own times of peace to protect others.
Superman is trusting and trustworthy. He is not naive, but is willing to give even the worst person a second chance.
Superman always holds on to hope even in the darkest of moments.
Superman never gives up. And since you only fail when you stop trying...Superman never fails.
In short, Superman is the embodiment of Love as described in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others,it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
Who wouldn't want to marry Superman?
Until next time
