Dear Future Husband

I love love.

I love marriage.

& I love lessons in seminary about marriage and dating.

Lucky for me, we just had a lesson on marriage in seminary.

Bro Dalton asked us to think of some attributes that we want in a future spouse. Wanna know what was on my list? (p.s. this is in no particular order)

Be a returned missionary

Hold and Honor the Priesthood

Worthy of a temple recommend

like ketchup

Cultivates healthy family relationships (especially with his momma!)

Be my best friend

Value education

Be trustworthy and honest

Open doors for me (cause, SWOON)

Committed to Spiritual Growth

Have manners

Worthy of Church Callings

Wants to marry in the Temple.

Want to have children (p.s. I want A LOT of kiddos, so you’ve gotta be REAL good with kids.)

Full Tithe payer

Hardworker

Likes the outdoors & going on adventures

Smiles often

Like LOTR & Watching Psych <3

Makes me laugh

Respectful & Smart

Attend church meeting

Confident

Handyman. I do not know squat about cars. Or tools. SOS

Encouraging

Patient

“Marriage is one giant date, choose your date wisely.” -Bro Dalton

After we made our lists and talked about why these attributes are important to us, he told us that we need to BECOME THE KIND OF PERSON THAT WE WANT TO MARRY.

The gospel is truly the best way to a happily ever after. I’m so grateful for the example that my parents are to me and for their eternal marriage. I am continually amazed by the Lord’s knowledge and timing. Many times I will have questions or trials in my life and the Lord puts the exact person in my life who says the exact words that I need to hear. Even more often, I receive answers to my prayer while in seminary.

The Lord is all knowing and will sometimes give me an answer BEFORE I have a question. Sometimes I will have a YWs lesson on a specific topic and later that week I will recognize why I had that lesson.

I feel so incredibly blessed to have the knowledge that my Savior knows me, INDIVIDUALLY. The Lord is real. He really does answer our prayers. He knows our hearts and is a lover of our soul. HE IS THE PERFECT MATCHMAKER, SO TRUST IN HIM.
