Valentine Card to a faceless, nameless future spouse

You’re single, unattached and have been desiring marriage for the longest time already but until now still haven’t found the right guy yet and it feels like every February 14 is like a curse day to you.

Well, the good news is, you’re not the only one feeling this way, you’re very normal. I’d encourage you to not be discouraged but to pray, be open to God and present your petition (Philippians 4:6) and have faith that the Lord knows what’s best for us, who’s best for us and knows the perfect time even for our love life.

So just wait and as you do that, I’ve an exercise here you can do every Valentine. It could make the waiting less difficult and Valentine’s Day feel less lonely. Try it.

Make a Valentine card (DO NOT BUY! - Make it yourself). It doesn’t matter if your heart looks square. Now, this card is for that special person who’ll be your lifetime partner one day, And YOU ARE ONLY to give it to your future husband as a gift on your wedding day, not to your crush, not to the guy courting you, not to a boyfriend.

Now, write something inside the card, addressed to no one yet because you still don’t know who you’ll end up with. You can open your heart and tell him how you’ve been praying, waiting and KEEPING YOURSELF RESERVED (being chaste) just for him (and live it). Now you can do this every Valentine’s Day, make a card; write something on it, talking your heart out to your anonymous future spouse. Compile the cards and put them in a box.

Can those who are already in a relationship but not married yet do this too? Yes. If the boyfriend marries you then you can give this to him on your wedding day. Be reminded though until the day you get married, there’s no assurance you’ll end up with your current boyfriend so when you write the letter, keep the future spouse faceless and nameless.

Now why is this exercise good?

1. You’re exercising your faith, that you’ve been praying and doing your part and will get answers. You’re trusting the Lord.

2. You’re thinking long-term, into the future, not just the present.

3. Remember that this card is for your future husband and you wouldn’t want to do things you’d be ashamed to write him about (like giving yourself to someone else who might not be him).

4. Now wouldn’t this be an awesome gift to him on your wedding day? That you’ve been making him cards and writing to him long before you even met? Now what kind of man/husband will not be utterly touched with that?

Can the men do this too? Of course. How loved his wife would feel when she gets a wedding gift like this!

So there, something you can do this Valentine’s Day.
