I apologize in advance for how cliché and predictable this post may be. One of the biggest things I’m obsessed with and pray about and think about is basically about the man I’m going to marry. I create so many stereotypes of how we will meet, what he’ll look like, and who he’ll be. And lately my biggest struggle has been to understand that God has the answers and that it will become realistic whenever He is ready. I have attempted to cut out these daydreams of mine, but honestly I enjoy them so much and the idea of the man I will eventually marry really helps me look towards the future God has in store for me.
Some of this letter is going to be superficial and worldly rather than Godly, and I’m sorry for that. But this is also my heart:

Dear Future Husband,
My, my! There is so much pressure in writing you a note. I don’t know how to organize it or what to say. (Basically my struggle with everything so get ready).
First of all, HELLO! I am so excited to eventually meet you! Even though I don’t know you yet, I can not wait to start a life with you. Not to sound creepy or anything, but I think about you a lot and I often fall asleep talking to God about you.
As you’ll soon learn, my family is a mess. I’ve never really existed in a home with a mom and a dad, or- even scarier- a husband and wife that has God set as their foundation. I don’t know how to do that, and I have no one to really look up to that has that. I hope you do, but I know that is something I cannot count on. One of my biggest fears about you and I is the struggle we might have to always put God first in our relationship. I am trying to work on that in my life and I hope that you are too.
Something I want you to know: there are girls out there savings themselves for the right man, just like I am for you. We live in a world where that’s not the social norm anymore, but I want you to know that it is for me. And even though we live in a world with double standards, I expect the same respect from you. We are going to be wonderful together, I promise, but we need to do it God’s way.
And God’s way also means meeting at the time and place God intends. I have struggled with what I want us to be rather than what God has planned for us, and I am really trying hard to walk His path rather than my own. I don’t know if we have already met, or if you’ll be in my next group project in college, or if I’ll catch a random guy (you) staring at me from across the coffee shop. However it happens, though, I know it will be perfect in God’s own way. God has finally helped me find some peace when it comes to who you will be, how we will meet, and how strong our relationship will be.
When I think about us I often see all of the flaws and shortcomings that I will bring to our relationship, and I want you to know that I am working on them. Everything I am doing now will affect us later, and I hope you're out there living the same way.
I’m excited to hear about all your stories one day. I can’t wait to make memories with you, marry you, and create a life with you!
I send you all of my love and hope and prayers forever,
Steeli Morgan [your last name]
