Dear Future Husband,
Today was my cousin's wedding and I was flooded with a mix of emotions. One, I'm so happy for my cousin as he found a best friend to spend the rest of his life with. Two, I was sad that you weren't there to be my plus one (that sounds nice to have a plus one to invite to things) and meet some of my extended relatives. Three, it just made me think a lot about marriage in general and our wedding day.
But, honestly, the thing that stood out the most to me was how it made me think about friendship. And this is what I prayed for you today. That you know the importance of surrounding yourself with friends who are there for you and who know how to encourage you in your walk with God and who aren't afraid of calling you out when you are heading down the wrong path. We all need those people in our lives who will challenge us, make us better people, inspire us to pursue our dreams, encourage us when we need it the most, and make us laugh so hard we cry. I pray that you have such wise and caring mentors and friends in your life right now!
I pray that as you grow older you have also discovered how to be a good friend. That is just as important if not more so than having good friends. I want you to be my best friend and partner in crime! This is one of my biggest wishes and desires for you, my future husband. As we grow in maturity every day, I pray that God is preparing both of our hearts for the deepest of friendships with each other. I don't know how we will meet or if we like each other immediately or it will take some time for us to fall in love, but I know that whichever way it happens to be, we are going to need that foundation of friendship for our relationship to last through the fights and struggles that life throws at us. I'm going to be in this marriage for the long haul and I intend for us to be the cute old couples who still hold each other's hand on walks through the park when we are 80 and are more in love with each other than ever before. And I know that in order to get to that place God needs to be working in our hearts and minds to prepare us for the day we meet one another.
Forever and always faithfully yours,
Your Future Wife
