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.๐ถ๐ผ
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 fiancรฉ 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 fiancรฉ 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.
"Do trust the B in diocese 23" is brilliant.
