Dear Future Husband,

I realize that this article is written way in advance, but know that even though I don’t know who you are yet, I pray for you every night. I don’t know anything about you, and you don’t know anything about me, but once you meet me, I think there are some things that you should know.

First, you should know that when I love something, I never give up on it.

I mean, I was a Cubs fan even when they were pretty terrible, but I never gave up on them and rooted for them each and every brutal year, and we see where that ended up, in a World Series win. Know that if I love you, which I obviously do since I chose to marry you, that I will never, ever give up on you.

I chose you, and I will choose you until the end. You will be my person, and I will always support you in whatever you do, and giving up will never be an option. If you choose to give up on me, I will fight for you until the bitter end, and will do everything to fix what was broken, because you don’t give up and move on when something is broken, you figure out what the problem is and work hard to fix it, which is exactly what I’ll do if it ever gets to that point.

Second, you should know that sometimes I’m a little weird and I’m a little quirky, but every part of me embraces it. I get overly excited about the little things in life, but sad movies and dog videos will make me cry at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I like to dance around when there’s no music or laugh for no reason, but it’s what makes me, me. I love that I’m different than others, because being normal is boring and I was born to be a little outside the box, so please embrace it with me.

Life is more fun when you’re a little weird, and I can’t wait to have fun with you someday, whenever that is.

Lastly, you should know that I’m not a materialistic person, and all I’ll ever need is your lifelong love and affection to keep me happy. Now that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy flowers or chocolate every once in awhile because I would be lying if I said that. But I don’t need them all the time. What I do need is to be able to count on you to always be there for me and to love me through the highs and the lows.

I need to know that you want to be with me, and through constant reassurance may be a little overboard, all I need is to know that you love me each and every day. You are the person that I chose to spend the rest of my life with, and though I may always say that I love you more (which I know I will), I just want to know that you love me back.

I cannot wait to meet you someday, but until then, I’ll continue to pray for you and your safety. We will meet when God knows we’re both ready, and I cannot wait for that day.

Till We Meet,

Your Future Wife
