Praying for our Future Spouse

Visit the forum of this group.
Group created by fin

This group is for those people who are praying or would like to start praying for their spouse. If you feel that God is calling you to the vocation of marriage, praying for your future spouse is one of the ways to prepare for it. This group is under the patronage of the saints, especially Our Lady, St. Joseph, and St. Raphael patron angel of happy meetings.

    Hi Chloe and LoveJesus!


    Welcome to the group! Thank you for joining and for posting here in the forums.

    In relation to the topic, yes I also write letters to my future husband. I started by writing them on pad papers, then later on I switched to a nice looking journal. At first I didn't know what to write really. Now, I write about my days, my experiences. That way when we meet and know each other, my future husband can know about some things which I may forgotten about and haven't told him.

    I also pray for my future husband and remember him especially at daily Mass. I pray that he is okay wherever he's at right now.

    I have the book by Jason and Crystalina, How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul. It's a good book, and recommended for teens.

    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

    Thanks for the insight pomegranate; it hasn't occurred to me that forgiveness is a big part of the Year of Faith. Forgiveness is indeed very important.

    I would like to share this quote from an article in relation to the group.
    ________________________________________ _______________________
    Prayer for a spouse should include asking for all those called to marriage to have the courage to act on it, lest their free will decision to not act affect the lives of others whom they were supposed to marry and have children with.

    God the Father cannot, and will not, deny His own child in justice. Don’t ever get discouraged in prayer. Maintain faith, because we never know what is in God’s plan. God might require a certain amount of time for the same prayer before He will finally act. But He is trying to draw faith out of us. Keep praying to God for your future spouse with consistency. God will not be outdone in generosity. Keep showing Him your great trust and faith until He is convinced you are ready to receive what you ask for.

    Hi everyone!

    A patient of mine at work yesterday mentioned that this Year of Faith translates to forgiving others. Learning to forgive, the act of forgiving, etc, those that have wronged us.

    I don't know if that is her interpretation of, or if it's what we're called to do, to nurture this new (Year of Faith) beginning. Any thoughts?

    I pray the rosary everyday. In Our archdiocese we are dedicating both the Rosary and Respect Life during October.

    Happy feast day to Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7

    I already pray the Rosary daily but October is a great month to start if you didn't already because it is the month dedicated to the Rosary.

    God bless all of us!

    I started praying the rosary daily for October... I invite all of you to join me in my prayers for all of our intentions, the intentions of those who asked us to pray for then & those who asked us to pray for them...
