Hello, my name is Rick and I live in Washington State USA. I am a devoted, born again Christian and love my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Before I continue with my profile I need to make a couple things clear up front and I will not compromise on these. !. No sex before marriage. My body is for my bride. 2. I am looking for a long term relationship leading to marriage so my future bride must be a Christian who shares my love for our Saviour Jesus Christ. And 3. If you are in a sexual relationship with someone, please do not message me back. Now about me: I do not smoke, drink or use foul language or use sexual innuendos. I am a widower. I lost my beloved wife last year after 36 years of marriage. I was her full time caregiver for the last 10 years and from 2020 to 2021, I was her fathers caregiver. Family is important. Parents are important. I was at my beloved's side when she passed into the arms of Jesus. While she was alive I advocated for her, protected her, met her every need, nurtured her, sacrificed for her and I was her biggest cheer-leader by encouraging her every day. I gave my life for her. Everything revolved around her. I say this to let you, my future wife, know that I will do the same for you. I am 65 but I am not looking for a caregiver or daughter. I am looking for a woman. A real woman whatever age, with a good heart. a woman that can laugh and not take herself too seriously. A woman that is as devoted to me as I will be to her. I love kids and am fine having more or not having any at all. That will be up to my bride. I am willing to relocate. However, you should also be willing to relocate. It doesn't matter where we live just as long as we are together. You have my word that once I am with you, I am all in with all my heart. I am a one woman man and very forgiving. We are to forgive as God has forgiven us. "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4;32. I believe strongly in Ephesians 5:25-29: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" I grew up very poor so I know the value of simple things and am very grateful for what God has given me. A simple meal prepared by my wife, or, when I have had a hard day at work and I come home to my wife's smile and hug, or a cold glass of iced tea when I'm mowing the lawn on a severely hot day. I value being appreciated and needed. What about you? I do want to say, I am not perfect by any stretch of he imagination. The only perfect one is Jesus. Are you the lady God has prepared for me? Don't forget, no matter what, You are awesome!
