Dear Future Wife,
First let me say how I much I deeply long for the day when I know who you are. While I am living in the moment and being content with what God is doing in me for the time being, there is a huge part of me that wonders what you look like, how I will meet you, what your family is like, what you want for your life, what your strengths are, what your struggles are, what you want our relationship to look like, what is going on in your life right now, and, especially, how your walk with God will bring you to me. I really wish there was a way to open up a time portal and glimpse into the future. But I guess that would ruin the surprise. I want you to know that I am praying that God is working in you each and every day, and that you would hear his still, small voice when your head lays against the pillow at night. It is also my prayer that God would be working in me, so that every day I would be learning something that God wants me to know, in order to be the husband, best friend, and partner that God wants me to be for you.
There are so many things that I cannot wait for. I cannot wait to have inside jokes, to laugh, to go on dates, to sing in the car together, to just be together, in both good times and bad. To quote one of my favorite artists, jenny & tyler (FYI you will be hearing a lot of them in the car), I want to be the person to help carry you when you are weak. I want to be there when you are broken-hearted. I want to be there to pick you up when you fall. I want to be there to share your burdens. But I especially want to be there with you, with my hands lifted high, praising the God of the universe.
I think it’s important that you know that I bleed green and gold. If you don’t know the Baylor fight song and that “Good Ole Baylor Line”, then that’s going to be a serious hurdle for me to get over. Also, I apologize in advance for yelling at the TV during ALL Baylor sporting events. But seriously, if you are doing “Sic ‘ems” with me when we are 90 together, then I’d say I’m the luckiest man in the world.
There are just so many things about our future relationship that I am so excited about. But it is probably the chance to stand on an altar and pledge before God our commitment to each other for the rest of our lives, and then living out that commitment every day, that excites me the most. I cannot wait for all that God is going to teach me about what true love is through you. So know tonight when your head hits that pillow, God loves you, and so do I. This is a promise I make to you today.
Love, Michael

It’s a beautiful thing to know you are praying for your future wife and most likely she is too for you. It’s encouraging to hear Godly men seeking out the lilies among thorns, song of soloman 2:2–women who are so immersed in God’s love and putting their identity in Him rather than in the world, this is what makes them stand out among all the other girls. I hope you find her! And cling to her…they are far precious than rubies!
Wow. I am just humbled beyond words reading this right now. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see guys like you in this world. Sometimes I lose heart, sometimes I feel like it’s never worth waiting but hearing your heart and for the men in this world who have learned to step it up in a world full of insecurities and a false sense of relationships truly gives me ope. God bless you for your pure heart and your commitment of respect for your wife already. You inspire me to keep living as a Proverbs 31 woman and remind me to keep walking in His way..because the time will come when two souls are destined to meet and be bond in the grace of God together. It’s totalIy worth it because we get to spend time waiting by growing closer to our Father’s hearts..so many times we all forget that! cannot wait for that day either; thank you for letting God speak to you and encouraging us girls (and guys) to stay true to our promise of true love waits and just reassuring us that the prayers, the letters, and all that I write don’t go unnoticed by God and there are people out there with the same heart and desire for God to be the author in their love story. Ah, I love it. Waiting is worth it. Thank you for sharing
Ecclesiastes 4:11
This is an amazing vision for your future! I am blessed by your confidence in God’s promise for a wife. God is so good!! He has given me a similar vision for my future husband – I call it the teaser trailer to an awesome movie!
Anyway, thank you for sharing and for encouraging us on our journey to live a Proverbs 31 life. God bless!
Thank you. This is exactly what I needed today. I often times forget that there is a guy out there, waiting for me, as I am waiting for him. I feel stupid praying for him, because I feel like he has no interest in me yet (because most likely, we have never met), but he does care. Also, I’m SO GLAD you listen to Jenny and Tyler. They are by far 2 of the most extraordinary and Christ centered people I have ever met. Their music is beautiful. I love knowing that other people find them as wonderful as I do
Michael let me just say you encourage me. To see a man of Christ realizing Christ is enough but recognizing that you have a passion and releasing that to the Lord is incredible! Thank you for being a man that any girl would be lucky to have. Sic em!
This is very encouraging…I am almost 31 and this gives me some hope….all in God’s time.
There is nothing more encouraging than knowing that men of God continually pray for their future wife. Society has made it out to be that only women want the family and husband, but this letter gave me encouragement to know that guys feel the same.
It’s only good know you like Jenny & Tyler and Baylor. I myself am a diehard razorback fan. But anyways.
God is teaching me to be content in Him, whether I am to get married or stay single. True hope rests in Him.
Thank you for sharing!
I have been praying daily that God will continue to show me how much he loves me and that if I ever do get married that the man he chooses will be an amazing man of God. That he gets my sarcasm and doesn’t laugh too hard when i do something incredibly dorky. The thing is that we can only find true satisfaction, fulfillment and contentment in knowing God intimately. I’m 24 and just now realizing that God has so much more for me and my eyes should be focused solely on Him and not on the “what ifs” and “maybes” of this world. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Its nice to know that there might be a guy out there praying just for me and my walk with Christ.
I am so glad to read this. I pray constantly for my future husband. I am so glad to know that there are men out there that have the faith to believe that God will bring two people together. Ok now that I’m in tears. Have a great night and thanks for the encouragement!
So I met a girl named Ellen, she so quickly became my best friend and vice versa. We would text, heytell or talk on the phone all day basically. I would wake up and think about her and go to bed thinking about her, and I found out she did the same. Well I received an email from her saying that the Lord showed her that I was her idol and we needed to end communication. That completely broke my heart. But, what God showed me through this was that, a woman cant give the me attention or desire that I am actually longing for. Only Christ Himself can give us that. Yes, it still sucks today not to have a bestfriend anymore, no one to talk to all day, but Christ is always there for us and He is jealously longing for that relationship with us.
Andrew,
I am in the same boat as you. My boyfriend and I were best friends for many years. Long story short, ultimately, that is the reason we broke up… Not putting God first. One of the toughest lessons I have ever had to learn… Be encouraged, you are not the only one. I don’t know you, but I will keep you in my prayers
Wow! This means so much to me! I pray for a man who loves God with every cell that he has. To know there actually are guys…excuse me, men who care and put these matters before the LORD brings me peace and joy. May you and your future wife be BLESSED!!! And thank you Jesusfor this encouragement!
That was really encouraging. Thanks for posting.
I always wonder if guys are really praying for their future wife, good to see some are. I pray for my future husband daily and hope that he’s out there doing the same for me. I pray that he is seeking the Lord daily and of course i pray that i can be a proverbs 31 woman for him one day.
Wow, sweetest thing I’ve ever read. It makes me happy to know you trust in God, and know that he would bless you with this beautiful dream of your future wife.
Amazing!
Marry Me please!
Wow, this is amazing! Little things like this will make someone’s walk for God so much easier! I hope and pray that my future husband will be praying for me and the same thing that you are right now! Keep doing what your doing, your making such an impact in people’s life from one post at a time! As my grandfather used to tell me Jesus loves you and so do I.
This brought tears to my eyes. Just to see a man who already respects his future wife enough to pray for her gives me hope for my future husband. I, too, pray for my future husband every night, for his relationship with God, the purity of his heart and soul, and the future we will have together. Whoever your future wife may be is a lucky woman. And I pray that your relationship with her is beautiful. God bless
