Future wife,
I have trouble accepting where I am now, today I long for the transition from singlehood to marriage. It's hard to realize and accept, within my heart, that this is what God wants for me now; it's hard for me to accept this despite the fact that I feel I'm not "ready" for dating/courting yet. I admit, with it comes to you I'm impatient.
Yet, I know for our relationship to thrive my lifestyle will need to change dramatically; I'm far too busy. It's strange, I'm classic American in regards to staying occupied, but anti-American when it comes to objects and materialism (nerdiness notwithstanding). So... the question that is currently unanswerable... how WILL we work things out? I know I'll have to tone down my style. I hope our home becomes like my current boss, Steve's. A place that's open to all, and a place where our love, fostered in a godly home, literally IS our ministry half the time. So, when you read this, don't let me go too far on the end of the busy. You're worth it to me, but I will need your help here.
I love you,
Your faithful hubby.

1st Letter, May 10, 2010
Dear Wife,
We haven't begun courting yet. I hope we do sooner rather than later, but I'm assuming you're there, too. I want you to know, I'm sorry it's taken so long. I am currently in my covenant and I've failed many times. I started a year and a half ago. I know we will have talked about this, bu I began this for your sake, first and foremost. And these letters, beginning here and today, are not just about the covenant, but it's foremost in my mind today. To be honest, I've at times felt like it would never be done, and I'm sorry for that.
I pray that you'll be ready and equipped for the ministries we will be in, even if that only is life with family and friends. I don't know what God has gifted you in yet, but I pray that He would guide you in developing your gifts and talents, that you will be the woman I can't imagine living without due tot eh unique facet of God's beautiful image you reflect.
I don't know who you are yet, but I love you.
Love, your hubby.

Plan
This blog is my attempt to write letters to my future wife. Partially as a prayer/focusing purpose, partially for the joy of sharing them when we finally are together. I'm a man with many struggles and desires, one of the most deep-seated being godly, romantic companionship. Here are my letters to my wife, whom I've never met.
