For a long time, I longed to have someone by my side who I could pray with. I wished for someone to love me but love God a little more.

Faith has always gotten me to where I need to be in life. Without it, I'd be lost and hopeless. I know I'm young but I also know that this is the first thing I want to teach my future children.

Whenever something is going wrong, I want to be able to pray about it with my future husband. I want to show my future children that faith keeps you going. Faith is what builds up relationships. God is the reason we are all here today and for that we should be grateful.

So I decided to wait again for my next relationship until I found someone who could not only love my personality, but my beliefs too. It was hard to lose my best friend but it would've been even harder to lose God.

It took a little bit of time but I can say that it was worth the wait.

I love who I'm with and how we worship God together. The little things like prayers before a meal or just a text that he's praying for me after I told him I'm having a hard time really brightens me up.

So to anyone whose debating whether or not to stay with someone who doesn't fulfill your emotional needs of religion, I'm here to tell you don't stay. God doesn't want you there and you will find that there is someone much more compatible for you out there. I wish someone would've told me this before I had to learn the hard way.

For all of these reasons I know that I am with exactly who I should be. God gave me someone to fulfill all of emotional needs and I am so blessed.
