Dear Future Husband,
I don't know if I have met you yet, but I pray for you all the time. I pray that God molds you into the man you should be and that you let him. I hope that he equips you to be able to see past my migraines and love me anyway. We will need to put God first above all else; in many of my past relationships I haven't done that. I was more focused on the infatuation of dating someone and trying to be happier than ever before. I am old-fashioned in that I want you to ask my father for my hand before you ask me. His approval means the world to me and I am most definitely a daddy's girl. I want you to be able to get along with my friends and family; maybe not all of the time because not even I get along with them 100% of the time. Please don't think my family is just like me because they aren't; everyone is different.
My family may not like you at first; they are all very protective. They will want to make sure that you will never hurt me. My brothers will probably give you a talk about how if you hurt me, they will hurt you. My sisters will probably threaten to kill your ability to have children. My mom may say she likes you, but tell me different after we are alone. Don't get discouraged when all of this happens; they just want you to know that we all take care of each other. Even after all of this, they will grow to like you and joke with you. They will completely make you part of the family.
You will have to be able to put up with my flaws, just like I will have to put up with yours. I know that sometimes it will be hard to put up with me and that we will get angry at each other from time to time. I don't want to believe that we will ever be angry at one another, but I know that that is wishful thinking. As long as we can get over our pride about being right and always say I'm sorry, we can always make it work. I don't want divorce to be part of our vocabulary; I know that sometimes it will get hard and we may think about it but we have to run to God first and then to each other.
I think about what you will be like all the time. I wonder if I have already met you and if so who are you; do you go to SWU or did we go to high school together? I smile to think about the man God has put on this earth for me; the person who would walk through the toughest things with me and still come out on the other side. I cant wait to meet you and realize that you are him. I am ready, but I am content waiting on God to bring our lives together.
Content but waiting,
Your Future Wife
