Dear Future Wife – DFW

A while back, #DearFutureWife was trending and twitter and I jumped on it and did a few tweets. Apparently, some people liked my tweets so much that they favorite and retweet them and I got a couple of DM’s to tweet more on DearFutureWife  so this time, I decided to put it a note form so you too can enjoy it so here we go!

Before I jump on the topic proper, I want to say this for the purpose of clarity. I have had a lot of people ask me if, I was married or engaged to that special one; well, I am not married neither am I engaged but marriage is one thing that I’m so looking forward to.

I have heard so much and seen much gone wrong with marriages that it gives me a lot of concern however, no matter what happens in marriages, I do believe in marriage and I am looking forward to be married in the near future. God created marriage and He wouldn’t have created marriage if it wasn’t good.

No matter what our culture says, marriage is still God’s idea and a marriage that will work is a marriage that has God at its center. With that being said follow me as I share these thoughts with my future wife – whoever she is and wherever she may be.

Dear future wife, because I believe you are worth the wait, I’m in no hurry. I am patiently waiting on God to bring us together and whenever He puts us together is fine with me. He makes all things beautiful in His time. Until then, I'm waiting and serving. Can't wait to be with you and start a family with you my dear!

Marriage is a lot of work and with that in mind; I am fiercely preparing myself to be not just a great man but a godly man, a godly husband and a godly father. One that will lead our home in the way of the LORD and not according to what the culture says.

Dear future wife, I made a commitment to devote my life to Christ, letting Him shape me, mold me and make me into that godly man you’ve been waiting for. I make bold to say that I’m more in love with Jesus than I have ever been. And you are going to have a man after God’s heart for a husband.

Dear future wife, I can’t wait to ask your father your hand in marriage but before I do that, I will first go to your heavenly father and ask for your hand in marriage because when God approves of our union, your father will not disapprove. I can't wait to call you my wife, lover and best friend.

Dear future wife, I am striving daily to become a Job 31 man, because I want us to have a godly marriage. I want our marriage to be a module for many other marriages so we are going to have a close, Christ centered marriage relationship. I want people to see Christ in us and through us get to know Christ.

Dear future wife, let’s settle this absolutely: Sex for us will only be in marriage so until the day we exchange our marriage vows, be rest assured we will never mess with our bodies- God’s temple. Purity for us is not an option; it is a standard.

Dear Future Wife, No matter what life throws at us; divorce will never be an option. When we have rough times, we will pray through them and ask God for wisdom to work things out. I’m making a commitment in advance to be faithful to you all my life through thick and thin.

I need you to realize that conflicts are a normal part of a healthy relationship. It’s really not the absence of conflict that will determine whether or not we have good relationship but it’s knowing how to handle the conflicts that will (most certainly) arise will that determine whether or not we have good relationship.

I will never abandon you, not at anytime or in any form through all of life. You will be right by my side and our children will never be without a father. I promise you that I will make it home in time to spend quality time with you and our children.

Dear future wife, just so you know, I have been praying for you for everyday for the past five years and I won’t stop even after God brings us together. Here are some random prayers thoughts for you. All you have to do is say AMEN!

I pray that you will give your heart totally to Jesus Christ. I pray that you will treasure and cherish Him more than anything in this world. I pray that you will trust the Lord each day to get you through whatever life throws at you and grow in your relationship with Him daily.

I pray that Christ alone will always be enough as you as you wait on Him to bring us together. I pray that you will be contented with everything God has given you and that you will have patience to wait for the things He has promised you.

I pray that you become confident and humble. I pray that you become honest and kind. I pray that nothing will stop you from smiling and that you will always stay true to who you are. I pray that you will never lose faith in yourself and that you will stand apart from the crowd, set apart for Christ.

I pray that the LORD will protect you from all evil and grant you physical, spiritual and moral strength to fight temptations and difficulties. I pray that God will give you strength in areas where you are weak and strengthen you in every area of your life.

I pray that the LORD will God satisfy every desire of her heart, draw you close, consume your heart with His love, claim her passions, and may all that you strive to be draw you closer to God and He to you.

I pray that this prayers works for you in Jesus name. Amen!

Dear future wife, there is so much thoughts and prayers I want to share with you but I will take a bow here. I hope this piece blessed you.

Love,

Your future husband♥

-Emmanuel.

In closing, I want to encourage every unmarried person reading this by saying, marriage is a beautiful thing when it is done God’s way and hear this; there is a man/woman out there for you. Don’t stress, don’t sweat. God will bring him/her in His time but until then, make the most of your singleness for God.

Pray in advance for your future spouse, speak life and goodness into their life, tell God to keep him/her safe, cause him/her to grow into a godly man/woman and a godly husband/wife and fiercely prepare yourself towards marriage as you wait on God to bring you and my future spouse together.
