I am fourteen and just began to make a list of expectations, because I thought that was the only way to go. I had been brainstorming what I wanted in a future husband, but there was as part of me that wondered if God would bring something that I could have never imagined (as he often does). I had written qualities in my journal, then crossed them out, then wrote them again, trying to piece it all together. The only quality I had set it stone was "a man who loves God with all of his heart". You put it even better..."a man after God's own heart". After reading this I realize that a you don't need to have a list, and that having a list may actually be less beneficial than normally made out to be. Sorry for rambling, just wanted to thank you for shinning some light on this subject. Running into His arms, Laura Elizabeth

Thank you! I am fourteen and just began to make a list of expectations, because I thought that was the only way to go.

I had written qualities in my journal, then crossed them out, then wrote them again, trying to piece it all together. The only quality I had set it stone was “a man who loves God with all of his heart”. You put it even better…”a man after God’s own heart”.

Im so idealistic regarding whom to choose, but when God showed me different kinds of men who have this qualities we certainly didn't "click" . Eventually, I met my fiance...I fell in love for the first time wd him (He is my first boyfriend and I am his first) though His qualities were not on the lists except for "a kind, gentle, God-fearing man who will lead me closer to God",I realized that God have given me more than i have asked for. ..a love that reflects God's love, God indeed have the "best lists" .God trully knows what I really wanted and needed more than I do. We're not perfect but whats important is God is the center of our relationship and I can see Gods hands working in us ,sustaining us with His grace and making us Christ like, glorifying His name.

That's something a lot of girls forget when looking for Mr. Right. Thank you for pointing out that sometimes it is our “criteria” that must bend and change a little.

As much as some of us wish, there is no set formula for courtship (of course there are a few basic guidelines, but you know what I mean). =) If our desire is to "know the will of God and do it wholeheartedly", as Maria said in the Sound of Music, then God will has promised to bless that desire. Besides, He "knows the plans I have for... plans of welfare and not of calmity, to give you a future and a hope."
