Dear Future Spouse,

I know that you will come into my life one day and embrace everything about me — the good, the bad, and the ugly. But most importantly, I am not in any rush to find you. Everything happens for a reason and when we meet I want it to be fate that brings us together, not dating apps. With that being said, when we magically meet in public and I gaze into your eyes and know for sure that you are the one, here are a few things I would like you to know.

First of all, I will not change who I am to be with you. I will be the person I am when I first meet you. I have been in the situation where I was a totally different person, and I saw it eating away at me.

Secondly, I will support you no matter what - through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will not leave because I won't give up hope on us and whatever we are building as a unit.

In addition, you need to get along with my family, because I want to feel comfortable bringing you around them. I once had a relationship where I felt like if I brought them around I was totally embarrassed or had tons of anxiety. I will not avoid my family just to be with you.

Also, the past is the past and it does not matter. I don't want to hear about it because I don't want to know. But, I know you are going to have respect for that and just focus on the future instead of the past you had before you met me.

Lastly, I cannot wait to meet you. But for now, I am going to keep building my future for the family we will build, the bond we will build, and for the memories, we will make, because I know you will be worth it.
