A Letter to My Daughter, On Marriage

Dear A~

How can I give you advice on finding a husband, when how I found mine was exactly what the christian dating books say will happen, but with which I completely disagree?

I’m aware that the beginning of our story sounds crazy, as if I imagined it.  God picked out my husband and told me we would get married the second time I saw him.

Because our beginning is the exception instead of the rule, my first piece of advice is that you shouldn’t sit around hoping God finds you ‘the one’.  The rest of my thoughts come from having a relationship I couldn’t have imagined, but that I wouldn’t have any other way.

My hope for your marriage, if you have one, is that you would find someone who is a brick-puller.

 

Come join me over at Jenny Rae Armstrong’s to read the rest!
