To The Man God Has Waiting For Me,

I can list hundreds of things that will make our relationship last, but here are three main things that will and that I believe are most important.

1. Growth. Before we can grow as a couple, we must grow with Christ. We must grow to know God individually before we can grow to know God together. We must learn how to love him so that we may learn to love each other better. We must place our roots of our relationship, our future, and our lives in God’s word and in his hands. We must grow with God daily and not stray from his word or his work in our lives.
2. Understanding. We have to accept each other for our differences, similarities, weaknesses, and strengths. We have to understand each other and be on the same page about important things. We have to accept each other as we are, flaws and all. We have to accept that neither of us is going to be perfect. Neither of us will always please each other. There will be days when it is going to be hard to love each other and there will be days when we will fall in love with each other all over again. There will be days when we have to fight to know that we will make it. And there are going to be days when life will be hard and all we have left are God and each other. In those moments, we need to go before God together.
3. Prayer. Without prayer, we won’t make it. We will need to use prayer as our steering wheel. We will need to go to God for the small things and big. We will need to go boldly before Him. We must pray in the hard times of our relationship that God will help us through those times. We must pray in the times when our relationship is great and dwelling and we must pray when our relationship is not great and is dwindling. Together we will grow stronger through prayer. We are a team. We must work together in the good and bad times. We are both made in the likeness of God. We are both seen as righteous through the eyes of the Creator. We both have a purpose and so does our relationship.

So, to the man God has for me, please know that I pray for you daily. I pray that we will grow together spiritually and emotionally. I cannot wait to cherish the little moments with you. I cannot wait to meet you and love you and grow with you. I cannot wait to pursue Jesus with you by my side.

I love you already.
