    Hey Chloe Hope your week is going well! It's almost Friday, yay. Thanks for adding me, I don't know how to reply on my message wall. I was going to send this message there.

    Yea the same for me, my letters are more like journal entries but I just hand write them. I write when I'm feeling down too especially right now I can't seem to get over this break-up. I know I have to be patient because God has someone better for me but it is hard trusting sometimes. Do u ever go through that? Please pray for me that I will be strong to not think about my ex anymore- I just want to forget. I've been keeping busy and attending daily mass. Maybe I'll write a letter tonight.

    Thanks Chloe, have a great day and God bless!

    been alone all of my life, never been with a man ever and am so tired of being alone, took care of my mom for a good many years and loved her a lot, i dont regret a minute of being with her or giving her all of my time and energy and love and compassion. she past on june 07.

    any how i am in a good place in my life to meet some one now and want to meet a great guy with a lot to offer, i think i have waited long enough for at least that much ?

    i am now almost 40 and still have waited for the right man all of these years. i met a nice guy recently but i think he has to many severe problems and doesnt have much to offer me at all. i want some one who can offer me a good life and a happy one also.

    To be a Catholic woman is most important to me, as well as somewhere around my age (I am currently 29)---the latter is somewhat negotiable.

    God knows how i've come across your question. But i honestly think your plan to pray (so much) for your future husband is the most beautiful jesture i've heard in a long time!! My heart's genuinely moved.

    Please be patient with our Lord. I'm a 21 year old guy and was feeling pretty down that God hadnt produced a wee lady for me to fall madly in love with and marry. Instead of praying madly for blessings on my future wife, i was saying "Please God, make us meet today!".

    I dont know why, but God eventually made me realise that she wasnt the problem.....i was!! When i looked at myself i suddenly saw the true picture that i was no longer the 'upright man' i thought i was.

    When i was 17-18, i had dated a girl that had been my childhood sweetheart. One day she randomly left me for another guy - without explaining why. Trying to be "a man" about things i went on as usual. I focused on a music tour i was going on to america and life went on as usual.

    In a few months my music tour came, i went, and came back home. Suddenly i had no distractions and COMPLETELY unravelled. I became very depressed for months. I remember going onto facebook and seeing that my ex was going on holiday with her boyfriend. She had packed boxes of durex into her case and tagged him on them. My heart just broke. My wee sweetheart was getting into impure things and loosing God. After months of depression i tried to commit suicide several times....and survived (thank God).

    Seeing that i couldnt suffer much more, God sent a wee angel in the form of an old friend. She got me back on my feet (God bless her and her husband). I then went to uni and took a fresh start. At uni, God opened my eyes and i stopped praying for the sake of it and prayed because God clearly loved me and had set me free from my heartbreak (THANK GOD!!)

    Fast forward 3 years and i feel like me again!! My results have gone up through the roof and the only thing i was lacking was a girl to love again.

    As i said earlier, i've asked God for a wife many times. But he was pointed back at the final thing i need to brush up on. Quite embarrassingly i'd picked up the habit of masturbation whenever i went through my rough time. I used to think that that problem would sort itself out when i got married. But God rightly has said "no, no! If i am to give you the quality of woman you have asked for, i need you to be a quality man for her, and be in 100% control of yourself".

    So i'm convinced my wee lady isnt far away. But i have one last mountain to climb before we can fall into each others arms. She's probably desparing that i'm taking so long....and it's 100% my fault.

    Therefore, while i am struggling on. The thought of my wee woman praying for me like mad is SO powerful and moving. My heart rejoices at such acts.

    So i beg you to continue your prayers for you future spouse. If he's like me, he's been through a lot - but your prayers make all the difference!!


    May you find your love soon!

    God bless!

    That is what we are doing. It is more difficult for him at times, because he was previously married (the marriage was annulled) and obviously that is an aspect of marriage. He is trying to understand my fears, and my desire to wait and he does respect all of it but it doesn't make it any easier, I suppose that is why it is called temptation. We are working through it and praying all the time. Thank you for the prayers, they are appreciated.

    Marriage requires a vocation and if you are confident that God is calling you to marriage then fear not, because God will bring your husband into your life according to His will.

    Actively trying to date people can often lead to desparation and bitterness when you find that you're not able to meet the right man. Instead of actively looking for a spouse, I recommend that you do a few things to put yourself out there (social groups and online dating websites are both good choices in my opinion) but spend the majority of your time figuring out what God wants you to do next in your life. If God has called you to marriage but has not yet brought your spouse into your life, then it stands to reason that there must be some things that God wants you to work on before you enter into marriage (maybe even try praying to see exactly what He wants you to work on).

    God bless!

    Thanks for this...especially the part where you have to work on yourself first. I have always believed you have to prepare yourself first,get rid of everything that could negatively affect you.and PRAY!!

    I've heard of a Novena to Saint Agnes for future spouses, but I'm not sure if its a Church certified one being as I found it on Google.

    Hi,
    I am Julia from Ireland. I love what you said about asking his angel to bring him to you. I will definitely use that.
    God Bless

    A day late but here is the St Martha Novena for anyone who would like to pray it. Those who would prefer to prayer it on the Tuesdays leading up to her Feast Day would begin on the 28th May.

    Novena to St. Martha This Novena is prayed on nine consecutive Tuesdays and involves lighting a candle. Pray also especially beginning 9 Tuesdays before 29 July, the Feast of St. Martha.

    (Light a candle) O admirable Saint Martha, I have recourse to thee and I depend entirely on thy intercession in my trials. In thanksgiving, I promise to spread this devotion everywhere. I humbly beg thee to console me in all my difficulties. By the immense joy that filled thy soul when thou didst receive the Redeemer of the world at thy home in Bethany, be pleased to intercede for me and my family, in order that we may keep God in our hearts and therefore, deserve to obtain the remedy to our necessities, especially the present situation that overwhelms me.

    (Mention your intentions here)

    I implore thee, O Auxiliatrice in all needs; help us to overcome our difficulties, thou who so victoriously fought the devil. Amen.

    Recite three times one Our Father, one Hail Mary, one Glory Be, and the invocation “Saint Martha, pray for us.”

    I started the St Martha 9 Tuesdays Novena yesterday. I was planning for it but not originally going to start praying it yesterday but I was inspired by the Holy Spirit through some pretty obvious signs. I will try to post the prayer tomorrow for anyone who desires to start praying it from next week.

    Just wanted to say that I constantly and consistently prayed for my future spouse all through high school. I wanted to find him so bad and would dream about what he was doing. I am now engaged to the man God has called me to, and I am so looking forward to being his wife once I graduate college. I just wanted to offer some hope to you all who are waiting and praying, that God does hear your prayers. Have faith in His timing and love for you. I really believe that praying for a good and holy man helped me immensely to find my future husband.
