More Than Yesterday

Dear Uche,

It’s a wonder how you manage to outdo yourself every single day—loving me better than you did yesterday. Just when I think I've felt the deepest love possible from you, you find a way to surpass even that, making me feel even more cherished and adored.

When I asked you if you wanted marriage because of me or because it was simply your goal and I happened to be around and willing, you could have simply said, "You, of course, babe," and I would have been satisfied. But instead, you gave me scripture—your own King Uche version of Proverbs 31:10-31. That moment, hearing you read it, hearing you annotate it with the parts you believe reflect me, was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. I had never heard that passage before, but now, it’s etched into my heart—not because of what it says, but because of how you made it ours.

And I realized something else that night—how calming your voice is when you read to me. How it settles me in a way I didn't know I needed. I want more of that, more of you teaching me, guiding me, reading to me every night, even if only for a little while. You’ve talked about wanting to bring me closer to the Bible—maybe this is how. Maybe this is one of the ways we draw closer to each other.

You inspire something new in me every day—not just in how I see the world, but in how I see us, in the infinite ways we can weave our lives together. I want to be so close to you that even sharing the same skin wouldn't feel like enough.

So tell me, my love, how will you outdo yourself tomorrow?

Forever wanting more,

Victoria
