Today is the one of the most important holidays in the Stowers Household: Valentine’s Day. It’s importance ranks up there with July 2nd (Shauntai’s birthday), June 27th (Our anniversary), December 25th (She loves Christmas – her favorite season), and Mother’s day.
I have a 9-year-old daughter at home and Valentines Day has morphed into a silent, but friendly competition between the two. My two sons could care less. On June 27, 2011, Shauntai and I will celebrate 19 years of marriage. I still make an effort to go all out to make the days that are special to her special to me. As I grow older, so does my love for my wife. She’s my best friend, helper, cheerleader, and coach.
Here’s what I love about my wife:
- She believes in me more than I sometimes believe in myself.
- She’s a true P-31 Woman (Proverbs 31) & is the Chief Operating Officer in the Stowers household.
- She’s immaculate & keeps our home clean, organized, and functioning like a well oiled machine.
- She listens to me ramble and never cuts me off.
- She’s funny & makes me laugh – she has a great sense of humor.
- She’s very compassionate & loves deeply. You gotta love anyone who cries watching Martian Child.
- She loves God and is a TRUE WORSHIPER. While she’s cleaning, she’ll go in listening to Shekinah Glory in a heartbeat.
- She encourages me at the right time which makes me feel I can do anything.
- She’s extremely serious about her relationship with God and desires to grow spiritually.
- FINALLY. She’s FINE, GORGEOUS, A TRUE DIME-PIECE 😀

There is nothing like having someone love you outloud! You Go Pastor and 1st Lady Shauntai!
Thanks for your encouraging words and I love that statement: “Love Out Loud” – I may steal that and use it as a series title. Wow, I get inspiration from so many people & places. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing, Pastor. It’s great to know that black men and women can stay, grow and love together. I look forward to sharing my life with a Godly man who loves God with his whole heart, mind and soul.
Thanks for sharing & yes, there are strong Black men who love & adore their wives. That’s why I’m dedicated to mentoring & training others who desire to walk this path. Thanks for sharing & don’t ever settle for less than God’s best!
real nice.
