You are not serious. You can always call your spouse some nice name....I am not judging but the bible says that a woman/man who fears the Lord has beautiful personality. Even God calls us pet names. Peculiar, Holy Nation, Divine, Apple of My Eyes,etc. So if Emma truly fears God, he should behave like a lil god to his wife. She is the only thing he has in this world. His children will grow into marriageable age and leave them. But their marriage will not follow these kids.
Emma just needs to stop pondering over the past. I am sure u r giving other ladies some nice name when she ain't around. We do act unconsciously, whenever love is involve. You won't even knw when u call her sweetie self. It will just pop up on it own. But bcos u r so deep into yourself, holding so many thorns within yourself, u will always b conscious of callin her something that no man had ever called her.
Baby, my boy is my first possession in this world! True, I call sweet names on ladies but decided not to have anything to do with them-That's their price. I decided to have only my wife and the price she gonna pay for winning my heart is to loose pet names from me!
