I know I'm not single but I figured this would go good in this forum.


Basically for me if I ever get married I want my husband to feel valued. To let him know that as much as he makes me feel like a princess I want him to feel like a prince.

I always thought that if I were to get married, we would be best friends. I wouldnt want to marry a princess : p But a deep and special friend would be amazing. Someone to share your life with, and be your companion throughout this earthly life.

I always thought that was the best way to look at marriage. We arent "soul mates", as in two souls in perfect harmony, because we are gonna have times where we disagree and dispute and all that junk that we as people have to deal with : p But because are such deep and personal friends, our love and affection for each other will carry us through, and we will be willing to forgive and forget for the sake of our relationship with each other.

I dont want like..... "special treatment", I guess. I want someone who has my back, and supports me and thinks of my best interests and junk, who enjoys my company and is excited to see me. But I dont want to feel like royalty : p I just want that special companion whos willing to share their life with me : p

I probly have a different feeling on the words "prince" and "princess" than others do, though : p But it always felt weird to me.

If I ever get married it will only be to a best friend. Don't want a man who isn't my friend. It's easy to walk away when the investment is low.

Hmmm....

If I ever get married...

I hope we will have some time every week only to ourselves and some time every week on our own.
and that we have enough money to travel a bit (not to luxury resorts, but to explore nature and cultures)
and that we can have both serious and nonsense talks

I agree with all of this, but especially the time on our own bit : p Like, I love having company, I love sitting around and talking and all that junk. But I also like having time to myself to sit and think and listen to music and do other things I do : p

Im all for sharing these things with my best friend and all, but I still treasure the time to myself to do it, too : p

If I ever get married... Well, there are some personal things but I will share them with her right before we get married.

One thing will be mandatory though. A hug every morning. However hectic our day has been yesterday, whatever we are going to face the next day, whatever discussions or arguments we have had... We must have a hug in the morning. If we are too busy to hug, we are too busy.

If I ever get married..

She will know her worth. I will love her through any insecurity she has, until they fade away (but that's not to say I will ever stop loving her :D). I will help her become the woman she truly is, and protect her heart. I can't wait to hold her hand and kiss her and adventure through life with her.

But alas, only when I am truly ready, in God's perfect timing. I must lead her and love her as Christ loves the church. I must wash her in the Word and demonstrate the Gospel to her moment by moment. I must be strong in the Lord in order to lead her. And right now.. I'm struggling.

I believe in being best friends first. And I would treat her special and that she mattered in my life. I have liked four people that I wanted to get to know better and become friends with and maybe more.

The first one was in the 6th grade up to someone I met in church last year. One just pretended to like me the others just wanted a friend. They were all nice women for the most part.

It does not matter how good and kind some guys are if you are too nice sometimes we just finish last. I would be happy to find a best friend for life.

She does not have to be my gf or become my wife. I would be shocked or amazed if that ever happened. It's not fun being single, but it would be fun to have a best friend to share things in life with.

I have prayed all of my life for this.

I agree about the hug in the morning part. And a kiss good-night and "I love you" in between.

From my experience most of us will struggle during life because it is in the struggle that we become defined as to the person that we are. I would caution you to not wait until all the 't's are crossed and all the 'i's are dotted and all the lights are green before deciding that you are truly ready for marriage. Even in God's perfect timing there comes a point where you have to act decisively to pursue such a relationship if that is what you truly want and desire.

Gotta disagree there. Being single is wonderful. I love doing what I want, when I want.

Now if I ever get married I know there will be a few compromises. But if I love the girl enough to marry her I will surely love her enough to coordinate what I do and when I do it with her. In other words, I won't mind not doing what I want, when I want all the time.

But for now... yeah, I'm loving being single.
