Welcome to Part 10 of the series "Dear Future Spouse." These are real people who are writing to their future King and Queen. They do not personally know each other, but they are getting to know each other through the letters. Each week, you will find a response to the letter before. So, grab some coffee, tea, or tissue, and enjoy! Tell us what you think!
Dear Future Husband,
I know this might sound like a strange compliment, but your last letter truly blessed me. I felt like your responses to my questions were you allowing God to use you and answer some of my concerns and fears especially about finances. I’ve never been wealthy, but I know what it’s like to struggle and would never want to feel that again, so it’s important to me that my husband and I are in agreement with our financial goals.
Another thing in your previous letter that really struck me was item #4 in what you look for in your future spouse. You asked, “Does she have Spiritual Goals?” I currently have 3 vision boards in my home office and planned on creating a 4th entitled, “Thy Will be Done,” so it shows the true desires of my heart, but I fully understand they must be in line with God’s desire for me. Your question was one that is so simplistic but easily overlooked. So many have goals to gain weight, lose weight, get a promotion, make more money, owe less money, but to actually articulate “Spiritual goals” is something I feel doesn’t get enough attention.
I remember my senior year of high school I had a conversation with my sweetheart I thought I was going to marry. We talked a lot about what I thought at the time was the important stuff: where I wanted to get married, when we’d get married, etc. I do recall telling him about my desire to adopt kids, and he said that was not something he wanted to do. Granted we were 17, so that wasn’t the reason we broke up, but even then, I recognized the importance of being in agreement about not only how many kids you want but how the kids will become part of the family.
My King, your insight on God’s design for marriage is so fascinating to me. Soon, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how husbands (and wives) can reconcile the principles of submission with an outside world giving us such contradictory advice.
I pray that your tomorrow is greater than your yesterday and whatever challenge you may face, please remember it is only there to help you become the best version of yourself for all the lives you touch.
Lovely,
Your Future Wife
