To my future, Christian husband,

I know you are already out there, praying for me as your wife. I don't know who you are just yet, but I know you are out there and that we will meet one day. So here's to you.

Thank you for pressing into God to find me instead of hoping to find me at Alpha-whatever's fraternity party. Thank you for turning to the Bible and not Playboy when you need reaffirmation of our future relationship. Thank you for understanding that not every day will be perfect. Our relationship will come with some conflict. What good relationship doesn't? Thank you for solving problems with me in a way that best serves Him.

As your future wife, I have high expectations.God gave me these expectations in order to find a man like yourself. Thank you for communicating how you feel and what you want respectfully. Thank you for making me feel like a princess each and every day. Thank you for encouraging me in everything I do, even when I don't feel worthy. You not only remind me that I am yours, but that I am, more importantly, His.

Lastly, thank you for keeping God in the nucleus of our relationship. Thank your understanding that boyfriends don't get husband privileges. Thank you for being on the same page as me. Thank you for not pressuring me to do anything I don't want to do. In the end, you knew that God wouldn't allow anything to happen that would dampen our relationship and our growth in Him. Thank you for loving God more than me. Thank you for choosing me.

So, until we meet, keep these things in mind: you won't find me at Theta-something's fraternity party. Instead, you'll find me in a church pew on Sunday mornings. Look for the girl with her Bible open, soaking up every word the pastor says. Look for the girl who isn't perfect. and know's she doesn't need to be because she is a daughter of the one true king. I'll be looking for you, too.

Love,

Your future, Christian wife
