Dear Future Husband,
I may have already met you or I might meet you in five years, but either way this letter is for you. It is strange to me that you’re off doing your own thing and I am sitting in this room writing a letter to you. You could be anywhere, far across the world or in the same town as me. I wonder what you’re like? Are you out there looking for me? I hope life is treating you fair. I hope you are happy.
I want you to know that I am doing well. I am going to college and pursuing my dreams. I am chasing after the things I love and building lifelong friendships. I am spending time with my family and my heart is happy. I also want you to know that I have grown closer to my faith in the process of waiting for you, and I will forever be grateful to you for that. When I feel weak at times or uncertain about the process, I pray to God for guidance and peace.
I want to thank you. Thank you for not finding me right away. There is nothing wrong with having a high school sweetheart, and I think at times I wish that would have been my fate. Now looking back, not finding you yet is the best gift I could ever ask for. I have had plenty of time to figure out who I am and what I want out of this life. I have learned how to make myself happy, and I have mastered the key to independence. I don’t need someone to hold my hand every step of the way. I know how to make my own decisions and how to lean on my friends and family for help when I feel lost. When I see my friends with their boyfriends I can easily become bitter, but then I remind myself that you are out there somewhere.
I want you to know that I will be ready someday. I hope that you are intelligent, motivated, kind and funny. I hope that you love God more than you love me. I hope you treat your mom with respect and that you have a strong relationship with your father. I hope that your siblings love me and I hope that you love mine. I want you to know that I will be ready for all of our crazy adventures. I want to travel the world with you someday. Backpack through Europe, go to concerts, road trip, I want to do it all with you! I will be ready for a life full of happiness. I want to figure out our hardships together and laugh until we have a six pack.
I want you to know that I am not upset that I have waited this long to know who you are. Wherever you are and whenever we meet will be the perfect timing because it will be the time that God has planned for us. I sure do hope that you’re ready for this crazy love story that we will create someday. Until then, I will pray for you, I will wait for you, and I will continue to live this wonderful life of mine.
Sincerely,
Your Future Wife
