Top 7 Emoji To Show Him You Want To Enjoy A Lawful Love

Ladies, it’s about to be cuffing season, and you know what that means: lots of cute guys about to inherit dukedoms who are completely missing the hints you’re dropping. Honest communication is always hard, but it’s especially difficult when you’re planning a wedding and a Christian life together. Between snuggling up with your boo and negotiating the details of your dowry, you’ll need to take some time to establish what it is you want out of your marriage: a relationship beset by scandal or a lawful love? Noble marriages that are grounded in Christian values are the most likely to succeed, but both of you need to be on the same page. To help you better communicate with your lord-to-be, we’ve picked out the best emoji to put in your texts to show him what you’re really thinking.      

🙏

#bless

A big part of your marriage will be adjusting to each other’s habits, so if you intend to spend every night sneaking off to the church to pray or to do good works, it’s better to let him know now rather than deal with a grumpy guy in the morning! This emoji can help you set that mindful mood. Maybe even include it when you send your goodnight texts!

❌👑👰❌

Your Crowning Glory

We get it: every gal wants to look great on her wedding day. But as Pope Nicholas I has reminded us, wedding crowns are beside the point—sure, it’s nice to have that gold or silver band on your head at your wedding (do it for the ‘gram), but your marriage is really all about consent. Are you and your intended heading into this lifelong pact because you want to and not because anyone else is forcing you? If you’re sure, send these emoji to show your guy just what to expect when you head up the aisle.

🙅🙅

One At A Time

If you or your bae grew up in Lotharingia, then you’ve definitely heard the cautionary tale of Lothar II. In case you’re from a bit farther afield, Lothar accidentally ended up with two wives—and when he tried to do the honorable thing and divorce one of them, he got into a big fight with the pope. Fighting the Bishop of Rome never ends well, so don’t be like Lothar! Deploy these emoji to remind your betrothed that he can’t run around with other women anymore—this marriage is between the two of you and no one else.

Outstanding Offspring

Remember that having children legitimates any sex you’re having (within your marriage, ofc!)—and that it’s your responsibility to raise the kiddos to be obedient Christians. It’s okay if you and your fiancé aren’t ready to have your own little ones just yet – although you’re def going to need an heir sooner or later – but these emoji will certainly make your expectations clear. Use them to start a conversation about names and family members you want to honor! We hear that “Henry” is going to be a top hit for boys in 978.

Forget Worldly Glory

It can certainly be very exciting for both of you to fantasize about the temporal power that you’ll gain upon the death of the in-laws—but remember that your obedience to Christ will mean so much more in the long run. To get you both thinking along the same lines, these emoji will remind you to prepare more for your spiritual #goals than land acquisition. If you’re marrying a second son and don’t see any land grabs in your future, use these to start a conversation about what other worldly trappings you can give up as a couple. Maybe you don’t actually need to put that second stand mixer on your wedding registry?

Do Trust the B in Diocese 23

It’s important for you to remember that you don’t have to do this whole marriage thing on your own. If you’re having trouble compelling your man to be a good Christian, or you just have questions about what kind of sexy stuff is allowed and what’s not, remember that you can always mosey on over to the local bishop to get his judgement. With this emoji you can let your guy know that you won’t be breaking any church rules, even for him.

💦⚠️

Proceed with Caution

Use this emoji pairing to tell your fiancé that however excited you both might be about finally getting to sleep together, there’s a good chance that most of the time you won’t be able to do it with abandon. Some general guidelines: keep those fluids inside as much as possible! Procreative coupling only! Don’t have sex on the Lord’s Day! If you make it a priority to respect the bodies of our Lord and your lord, then you’ll be well on your way to enjoying a lawful love.
