This has to be one of the most original ideas I’ve ever heard. I like it. I hope God sends the man you are writing to your way. He will cherish this book more than you realize.
How to write letters to my future husband
It made me
Inspired 
"It's an on-going process, but I have a journal that I will give to him on our wedding day..."
How I did it: I've been praying for years for the "right guy". While I still haven't found him, I've been praying for him, and writing to him, and even writing my prayers down. They're all confined inside a journal I started writing in a few months ago. I plan, as a wedding gift, to give it to the man God puts in my life. It'll be such a great thing to see how the man I marry is the man I've been praying for all along. And I don't mean "Please, God, brown hair, blue eyes, 6' 2", and a rock hard body", I mean, "a man who can lead me, a man who loves you, a man who thinks I'm beautiful after I've spent hours crying, a man who'd rather do whats right over whats easy...a man after God's own heart" because those are the things that'll steal my heart.
Lessons & tips: Be honest. Even when you screw up. Remember: This is the man you're going to spend your life with. He wont care about your past, as long as he's your present and your future. He'll be awed that you've put so much effort into writing to him, maybe before you even knew him.

Don't limit your heart's desires...
I’m glad to hear you are doing this journal for your future husband. I actually did the same thing. It started when I was 15, I am now 20 and married. I also gave it to my husband when we were on our honeymoon. I started praying for him long .long ago. When I was 15 I decided to start a pray journal and give it to him one day. I also had a list of everything I wanted in my future husband. I did not limit my heart’s desires on this list. I said, God… this is the man my heart desires… You love me so much and you love to give things to me… i will not limit what I ask you for and what you ask to bring me… I asked him for very specific things in my future husband… “comes from a big family” because I’ve always wanted to be in a big family.. “tall, but not too tall 6’2-6’5” “Athletic body” “Dark brown hair and brown eyes” “I want him to not said I Love you to any other girl” “lives somewhere warm and by the beach” and on and on… I had over 500 things on my list. Well… during highschool I went through some bad relationships, gave a lot of myself away to guys. After that, I thought I would never get the true man of my dreams. I was so underserving, but God had different plans and gave him to me anyways. I lived in Washington state and he lived in Florida. My sister introduced us thinking that we would be ‘perfect’ for each other. Well… I was not happy about this plan, I wanted nothing to do with guys at that point in my life. I just wanted to live my life for God and that was it… God again, had different plans. We met, and God told us both within a couple days that we were supposed to marry each other. After about a year I moved down to florida to be closer to him and we got married 6 months later. I’m just telling you all this … because you should never limit your heart’s desires… God will give you exactly what you want and need and desire in your future husband. I wrote down all those specific things and prayed for them… I got all of them and more. He has brown hair.. brown eyes… comes from a big family.. lives in florida by the beach… has never said I love you to any other girl because he said ‘something’ was holding him back…
Don’t limit God’s strength. he will bring you the man of your wildest dreams. I’m so happy for you doing this also…

I love your response. I know God’s power, and I know He’ll give me everything I’ve been praying for, and everything He knows I need. It’s so inspiring to hear your story, though. To be honest, I hadn’t written a letter since New Years Eve, coming into 2009, but last night something struck me. This yeah (so far) has been difficult, and so far has been one of the most life changing years I’ve had. None of these things, good or bad, had I shared in letters. It defied the point of what I wanted this journal to be. I mean, I know that he’ll know these things, but as a writer things flow better when they’re on paper. This journal has become everything to me. It’s my prayers, my hopes, my dreams, even my fears of what it will be like when I meet him. What he’ll be, what I hope God blesses our relationship to grow into, etc. Thanks for the inspiring comment though! That was so uplifting. I can’t even explain it!
