Do you ever pray for your future husband or guys do you pray for your future wife?

[living2love]

But, I truly believe it's more important to pray that I be a godly wife, and ask God to mold me, and allow Him to give me wisdom for making decisions.

I truely agree Jennifleur.....My prayer was not for a wife, or a wife RIGHT NOW it was first for a wife that Loved the Lord as She Did.... Then when he told me to be pateint I waited on the Lord......I was asked by several people about dateing this one or that one, but I always said "I'm waiting on Him to lead me, and boy did he. I never in a million years thought it would be that one, but duriing a church outing to a baseball game, we were watching a fireworks show and I looked over (past four people ) and saw her gazing into the heavens with the lights bounceing from her face, and the Lord said
"I told you if you let me I would supply your needs" Bless you. And from that moment on I knew she was the one......though I waited about telling her all this till another year into our relation. Life is Sweet when God is in Control!!!

I have been praying for the future spouses of my children since they were born - that God prepare them to be the perfect spouse for each child, someone who is saved, someone who loves God more than anything, someone who obeys God, someone who is kind and loving and nice and stable and productive and active and not addicted to anything and not lazy.

So after you get married do you keep praying for your future spouse ? tee hee

 

[HeartOfGod]

I give that decision to God thy will be done oh Lord. I don't date and I don't want to date because if I date then I mite end up possibly getting in the way of God's plans where by he may have plans for some one else's life and I just don't want the pressure of dating some one unless God has confirmed it in my life and his life. God would have to bring it along and I would have to be present in the same place and know it's of God completely.

I have been through situations where by people have tried to set me up with others and it just didn't feel right at all. I don't use dating services or chat in hopes to meet some one because when you put your hopes in something that's when the devil will try to tear you apart inside because he knows you want that and he can use any one and bring them into your life and they may not even be truly christian at all. I have been through enough already with all of that.

I think if you are too focused on the gifts that God has planned for your life rather then the giver then you may be missing what God truly has intended for your life. I have had mixed thoughts because I have had all kinds of people say this and that. So my conclusion is this..God thy will be done and I leave it there with him. I have gone through the list thing and had people try to set me up with others. I don't want any one doing me any favors. If it happens I hope it happens naturally and it's not forced or premeditated by others in a more fleshly sense.

I would rather be friends with some one and it just happen out of a friendship or I meet them some where by chance? (As in the Holy Spirit will bring it all together and it be all God and not man.) If God can do the impossible then I believe he will do it if he so chooses and it's less pressure. So why do I have to continue on and focus on the gift rather then the giver of life? Besides I truly want God to get all the glory out of it and not because I am spending more time and energy looking for it all the time or talking about it. The more you talk about it the more people end up saying things you mite not want to hear and yes I have had my earful of that and some times it gets to be very hurtful not helpful.

yes sometimes i pray for my future husband.. i pray for his health, job, life, ministry. I'm still single and im happy being single.. What Jesus want is about Character.. HE build my character and HE build his / my future husband's character.. so in Jesus time we met each other that our character is ready to become one and that's for Jesus. We together serve God in our character that God already build. So i believe His time always good.. and i pray for my future husband indeed yes.. GBU

I dont know if this is a rumor, internet tale or what, but there was a woman, who was so desperate for a husband, she put an empty pair of man's trousers on her bed every night and prayed , "Lord, fill them". She was married a few months later.

That's funny in a very sincere and straightforward way

Maybe if we as women prayed for men as a whole, and godly men prayed for women as a whole, then we will have effectively prayed God's grace and blessings on our future spouse, whoever they might be and even if that somehow changes through the will of man.

From what I understand, God knows where you will end up and with whom, so saying it is no use to pray for them is really limiting God, don't you think? We may not know who it is we are praying for, but it is not void, because he knows exactly who you are praying for!

 

[MahogonySnail]

My mentor told me that story and the moral of the story was, he believed God will only bring us a mate if we are desperate for one. I dont necessarily agree with it as a rule of thumb, but being so desperate would impact a person's faith I think.

 

[ShelleBelle76]

... being so desperate would impact a person's faith I think.

What a profound and TRUE statement on so many levels! That would make an entirely great thread in itself...

Yes, I pray for my future husband (who is now my BF, soon to be fiance). I used to do so often, and tryied to imagine what he'd looked like. I'd imagine him to be big, muscular, and having blue eyes and long blond hair (nearly shoulder length). I thought that I had the "perfect" guy in mind and that God would give him to me. I was very focussed on the physical appearance, however. I went through a time in my life that I gave up hope on ever finding someone.... and praying for a future spouse became very rare (sad to say). I also had in mind that I could tell God that I wanted the "perfect chosen one for me" to call me a certain word (so I'd undoubtibly know, LOL).... and then gave up on that, too. I was very surprised though, that God did listen to my prayers... though he answered them in a different way altogether (I guess He wanted to surprise me!). I'm currently with a wonderful guy who is a very good Christian and treats me well. God found a man who is not what I pictured from the outside when I was younger(yet , I do find him attractive, which is a plus ). But God gave me a man who has a good heart! I don't believe anymore that there is a certain "special soul mate" that they are gonna have a "perfect relationship" with. But I do believe that God can bring together couples that will compliment each other.... but it's up to the couples to work things out for the building or ruining of the relationship. My intention is to stay committed to my BF and his is the same way with me. We spend a lot of time with each other now that we are in college and have known each other well for about 5 years now I'm very thankful to God for him. I say that praying for a future spouse is a wonderful thing.... and even if you give up in looking/ waiting for one.... God won't give up, but will bring a good one your way in His timing!

Yes I pray for my future wife and babies. I don't always remember to, but I did today. Ps. 128 is my favorite when it comes to waiting for a wife (and children):

"Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, you will be happy, and it will be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the midst of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table. Thus will it be for the man who fears the LORD..."

Hello. Amen

Meanwhile, someone's pressuring me to change my screen avatar! Lol.

 

[lbooman]

For me, I just leave it to the Lord, if there is someone out there that he wants me to be with, then he will show her to me and direct her into my life.
The only question that I find asking myself is Am i ready for a relationship right now? Honestly, if the right person comes along, i think i would be, but for now, i will just be content with my two beautiful daughters.

 

[Allin]

I'm not ready for a relationship now-- not a serious one. Nope. I think it's fair for me to be willing to be made into the person my wife wants me to be just as I want from her. So, for now, I'm just hoping to establish myself... and get my Jeep Commander before I meet her. Hey, I'm not being selfish; I'm just being honest Besides, I plan to keep it for the next at least ten to fifteen years.

 

[GreenNnice]

PRay for my future wife?


Now why in the world would I want to do that? ? ?


Then I would be getting married

 

[SnailRacer]

I pray the Lord guides the woman He intends for me to marry safely into my arms.

I believe I have prayed for my future husband a couple of times, though I don't completely remember. I have prayed that God won't bring me any other man but him because i've done the dating the wrong guy thing and i'm sick of it. What I mean is i'm not openly searching, I know that when I meet the man God planned for me it won't be expected and things will just kinda happen. It sounds bad when I type it out haha, so pardon me if my explanation isn't as clear as i'm trying to make it. One thing I have done though is wrote letters to my future husband. I sadly stopped a while ago out of discouragement, but I still have the notebook and I am still planning on giving him the letters the night of our wedding! My pastor suggested writing these letters as a way to prepare my heart! I would completely suggest it to anyone!
