How did you know your spouse was “the one?”

I’ll get us started …

People have always said, “You’ll just know,” when you’ve found “the one.” I never really ascribed to that saying, but with Steve, that’s exactly what happened. I believe that as a Christian, when we seek God’s choice for our spouse through prayer and submission, He does give us a peace and certainty about the person He desires for us to do life with.

Beyond the extreme God-given peace I felt deep within my spirit about Steve, there were other things that further affirmed that choice. My family and friends all loved Steve and couldn’t speak highly enough about him. They also pointed out that he seemed to bring out the best in me and vice versa, which I believe to be a HUGE indicator of a wise spouse selection. Additionally, he met my list of “must-haves,” and then some! I could picture a lifelong journey with him. And I knew that I could trust him – his judgment, integrity, guidance, and decisions – because he was (is) a God-loving and God-fearing man.

Steve was the guy I prayed for and dreamt of, and I just had complete peace, confidence, and excitement that he was the one I wanted to spend my life with through thick and thin.

Okay, it’s your turn!
