It depends on what we expect from our prayers. I personally believe that God answers ALL our prayers, even if it's not in the way we expect...
There is an amazing power of prayer and he ALWAYS answers them.
With that said, every day is also a test. A daily test in patience, in love, in tolerance, etc...all the virtues. Now, the question remains, do we pass or fail?
so, do I dare ask if he anwers the prayers of the unfaithful? (I'm not accusing anyone so don't get yer knickers in a knot lol)

Because God gives you a chance to do things right and swallow your pride. In the old testament, moses only allowed divorce because of the hardness of their hearts. It's man that destroys marriage, not God. There is no excuse for divorse, before you marry that hot girl or guy, you better know how they tick. It will be your fault if you marry that man and then later come to realize he is not as good as you thought he was. Marriage is final, "What I put together let no man tear asunder." Even if later on in life, after children, you get to the point to where you can't stand each other; tough through it. Stay togeather that the children will be blessed from it. There are to many broken homes in this world. Who are you, to break a marriage that God has sanctified? God had your true partner ready, but because of the hardness of your heart and your wickedness, you where not worthy. God will NOT give His best to anyone below His best.

I really think that there is someone who God wants for me…if it is His will for me to be married. But I believe that if we are surrendered to Him and we seek Him first, then these things are gonna be added. But, I’ve also said 'Lord, if you don't want me to be married, then let it be done as you will.' I must admit that it’s really hard to pray this. Lol. But yeah, I’ve meant every word.
I do pray for my future husband , but I don’t spend everyday watching the clock or worrying about when he’s gonna come into my life. I do appreciate my singleness for now….n I know if I do get someone, everything will change. I like that I can come back from school ( I teach) and relax….spend a lot of time with God, or if I’m completely exhausted, I can just come home and crash. I don’t have to drop kids to school or feed them or put them to bed. Not that I don’t want to…I do….Can’t wait to do all of those someday….what I’m trying to say is….There are things about being single that I really like.
Sometimes, I do think that we have a shopping list mentality. Like we have this huge list of all the things we would want in a husband. I used to do that before coz someone told me that was the way to go. But I’ve gotten rid of that a long time ago. Haha. Coz I just thought ….alright it’s fine to have preferences or some things you would like in a guy….but then was wondering if I was kinda boxing God in with my prayers about the kind of guy I think I should be with and would be happy with. Like….He’s the one who raised the dead ..etc and I should more than trust that he knows what’s best for me. N trust that my own understanding of what I want could be completely wrong. So yeah, all I pray for is ‘ God whoever it is that you have for me, I pray that you would give him a heart for you, completely sold out to you…that your love would be perfected in Him everyday as it is being perfected in me. And until we meet, prepare me to be a good wife to Him someday and be a woman who chases after you above everything else, even when I’m in that relationship. .....

I've never prayed for my future husband but its certainly something I have thought about doing lately. I dont believe it can be a bad thing to do, yes I'm basically praying for someone I dont know or at least dont know tehy are my future. But I have spent the last few months praying that the guy I was with and that he would be my future husband and etc. I was asking God yes, but it was still the wrong type of prayer when it comes to relationship I wasn't asking God the right questions and when he did respond it wasnt the answers I wanted to I just kept asking in a way pretending I didnt understand. This is when things go bad for people, when they dont trust in the Lord and we try to take our own path. If your a girl I would recommend reading authentic beauty I just started it but its an amazing book. And if you truely believe in God he can do anything, its hard to believe sometimes especially when times are rough.

See your making it sound like we are praying for literally some person from the future...but we are praying for someone who is alive and well right now. I dont know what your spirtual background is but you dont seem to have much faith that God can do anything. And I try not to pray for what I think I need in a guy, if I was out just to find any guy that fulfilled my wants I could go out and find him but I wouldnt be following God's plan, If we needed everything we wanted, I wouldnt be so accepting of my recent break up.
And just in general I pray for a lot of people I've never met, that doesnt mean anything...
