Okay, So I'm a Cake...

Have you ever heard your husband or any man talk about how complex women are? While I don't totally disagree, I don't totally agree either. As a woman, from my perspective, men are equally if not more complex. At least most women are more open with it and willing to talk about there complexities. With husbands, or maybe it's just mine, it's a guessing game. I have to discern his many different moods, analyze his one-line answers and evaluate his facial expressions.
Hhmm, maybe I should take a class in non-verbal communication.
Anyway, back to us wives.
If I listened to my husband's diagnosis of my looming multiple personality disorder, I would consider myself an onion. You've heard people compare women to onions, right? Well I have. Onions make you cry when you cut them, have many layers, and they add a totally unique flavor to whatever they are included in. They can have a strong first impression and leave a smell that seems to never go away. Onions can be a necessary addition to any meal, but the dishes can also be just fine without.
But I don't like onions all that much, unless they are in the ringed, deep-fried form, and those are addictive for me, so I'm no onion.
I would prefer to consider myself a cake.
Cakes are waaaaay better than onions.
Cakes are great because, like onions, they have layers, but they don't make people cry when they are cut. Cakes come in all sizes and flavors. They can have a couple of layers or as many as the designer desires.  The layers of a cake are sweet and firm and the frosting layers are smooth and creamy. Cakes come in so many different varieties and are a tasty addition to any form of festivity from small to gigantic. They can be complex or simple, but are tasty just the same. They emit a pleasant aroma from the time they are being prepared, while they are baking and leave a mouth-watering scent in the air that lasts for hours. There have even been cake-scented candles, air fresheners and lotions! 
The outer decorations of a cake can be pretty and well decorated, with different textures of frosting and fondant, sometimes even diamonds and gold, but the outside is in no way as important as the flavors of the inside. And when you cut them, the experience only gets better. Everyone enjoys a nice slice of cake from time to time.
Okay, so I'm a cake.
And the in my eyes, according to the word of God and my description, He thinks I'm a little cake-like too.

Proverbs 31:10-12 (NLT)
"Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life."

As a wife, we are so many things. We are called to be serious and carefree, beautiful and hardworking, loving and stern. We are called to be many different thing at once. Wives are amazing people, virtuous women.  I encourage you to read the entire chapter, just so you can see exactly how wonderful God thinks you are as a woman and a wife. You are beautiful both inside and out. If you weren't, your husband wouldn't have chosen you to be his bride. There are many different facets to your personality, but they are all unique because you were designed by the Creator Himself. He built you for this task and there is no one in the world that can be a better wife to your husband than you are. When your husband takes the time to get to know you and understand you, he'll realize that there is more to you than the nicely decorated outside; the inside is even better.
So we can be complex, we may be difficult, and sometimes we might even seem a little bit crazy.
But just like a cake, we're necessary for this party :)
