write love letters to my future husband

I started doing this a while ago…..and I gave up and I don’t know where those letters, um well, they were more like “little entries”, are now.

So I’m starting again.
I think that before I wasn’t ready for this. Now I feel that I am. I think this is more for my own sanity than a gift for my FH.
I have given up dating, boyfriends, etc. in order for God to rule my love life and sometimes, especially now, it gets hard. If all else fails, doing this will keep me in check that, no, I will NOT be alone forever, no matter how I may feel at the time, a husband IS, indeed, out there for me.

So here goes nothing…....

There is a new blog that is collecting love letters. Write to your future husband and share your letters at

I tell my future husband that I am praying for him. I think that writing letters helps me remember that he is out there somewhere RIGHT NOW and I need to be preparing myself for him by respecting the young men around me and keeping myself pure.

I’ve started, and I just don’t know what to write about… i keep pinching other people’s ideas! And it’s hard when you’re in a relationship, especially when you’re both with the aim of marriage… how do you write to your FH when he’s probably right there with you?!

I got my hopes up to let them fall.

I just recently got out of the most intense relationship that I have ever had in my life. I thought I was going to marry this guy and shared my whole life with him. I think that if I write letters to my future husband in a journal that it will be inspirational and help me move on from this experience.

i guess sometimes even though we have the best intentions.. it just doesn’t happen.. but i look back and wonder—did i want to do this because i really wanted to.. or i felt it’s something i should do?

well.. the fact that i never got around to it.. probably means it felt more like something i should do.. no purpose to it..

Ladies, I can say with confidence that this has just made my day. About six months ago, I started going through what is perhaps the most bitter breakup of my life. I was in a long-term relationship with a guy who I thought I was going to marry. I also gave him my virginity. It broke my heart into a million pieces, and I could hardly handle it with any semblance of dignity and grace, but nonetheless, I gathered up all my strength and carried forth with as much dignity as I could. I was strong and stayed away, knowing that one day, the tide would turn. My heart has finally started to heal, and I am actually very excited about falling in love again. While I am still deeply attached to him, we had been together for a while, and had we not broken up, I would never be able to enjoy the novelty and pure bliss of the first sparks of love again. The ecstasy of the first couple of months in our relationship were the best times of my 19-year-old life, and while we continued to love each other, that feeling of absolute bliss as you’re falling in love can never be replicated throughout the relationship (something that’s a fact of life). So being the undying optimist that I am, I am so thankful for that breakup, if nothing more than allowing me to go through the emotions of falling in love once again. And while I miss him, I would never be given the opportunity to experience a glimpse of heaven again with someone else had we stayed together, as our glimpse of heaven had already been closed and faded out to steady commitment. (The love chemicals only stay in your body for about an average of 3 months). I’m going to download the Rebecca St. James song, and I am soooo excited about doing this. The future is so beautiful and enigmatic when you’re single, as you have no idea who you’ll meet and fall in love with.

alright, actually, I already have completed this. but I wanted to claim it anyways. I dates around in high school-why? it was just what people did. It was cool to have a boyfriend. Although, I never liked any of them. I never really even kissed them. it was just a “let’s claim eachother and just hang out like usual”. Then I read this book “when God writes your love story” OH MY GOODNESS! It was in the 1st chapter I realized that guy I was gonna get married to was out there for REAL. He didn’t just exist when I met him (I know-selfish thinking) he existed NOW. He was alive somewhere, with someone, doing something, eating something, living somewhere…it scared me to think that he might not even think about me-his future WIFE! So I started to pray for him without ceasing! All through out the day. I prayed for this man I had not idea who he was. well-4 years later…we’re engaged! I have written him letters every night for four years. If he decides he wantes to read them-he has to wait till we’re married. but he has quite a nice stack of them! They’re not really letters TO him, but prayer letters to God about and for him. I love him so much!!!

i just recently bought a journal to write the letters in, it was the one by rebecca st. james. i just dont know how to write them though, cuz to me it just seems a little awkward. anybody have any ideas?
