Your Future Husband Prays About You: Here’s How I Know

Sometimes, when you are praying for a spouse, marriage, and the future God has for you, there can be this quiet little thought that creeps in:

Am I the only one praying about this?

You wonder where your future husband is and what he is doing.

• Is he living his best life?
• Is he hanging out with his friends?
• Is he dating another woman? (cue horror music here)

And when you have prayed week after week, month after month, and year after year with nothing visible to show for it, it can start to feel like you’re the only one thinking about your future marriage.

Like you’re the only one preparing, hoping, and asking God to write this part of the story.

But I want to gently remind you: you are not the only one praying.

A look behind the curtain

The other night, I went out with a group of friends. We talked about all kinds of things, but inevitably, the conversation turned to relationships.

And I was genuinely surprised to hear a young man share that not only does he think about his future wife and pray for her, but he also regularly thinks about their wedding day.

And when I say he thinks about their wedding day, I do not mean he was simply thinking about getting married so he could have sex.

Although, yes, that may be somewhere in the back of his mind

No, he was:

• Detailed.
• Specific.
• Talked about their families coming together.
• Thought about the venue.
• Thought about the atmosphere.
• Thought about the kind of ambiance she might love.
• Thought about the kind of experience that would make the day feel meaningful for both of them.
• He even thought about what kind of flowers she would enjoy!

He went on and on and on.

And what struck me most was how genuinely excited he was. How sincere he was. How much thought he had already given to a woman he had not even met/married yet!

And honestly? It gave me hope.

What you need to remember

• Just because you do not currently see anything happening does not mean nothing is happening.
• Just because you can see your prayers, but not your future husband’s prayers, does not mean he isn’t praying.

Just because you know about your Pinterest board, your saved wedding ideas, your private hopes, and your quiet conversations with God does not mean your future husband has not been carrying his own version of that dream too.

Maybe your future husband doesn’t have a Pinterest board.

Maybe he doesn’t have a folder full of reception ideas, tuxedos, or color palettes (although my friend had thought about their color palette lol!).

But maybe your future husband has a vision board in his mind.

Maybe he has thought about what it will feel like to see you walk toward him. Maybe he has wondered what your family will be like.

Maybe he has prayed over the kind of husband he wants to become. Maybe he has asked God to prepare him for you in ways you won’t know until later.

• Do not let not knowing convince you that he is not praying.
• Do not let silence convince you that God is not moving.
• Do not let the fact that you cannot see him make you believe he does not care, that he is not preparing, or that he is not somewhere asking God about you too.

Your prayers are not proof that you are alone. They may simply be one side of a story God is still writing.

So keep praying. Keep becoming. Keep trusting. Keep living your life fully and faithfully.

And when discouragement whispers, “What if I’m the only one thinking about this?” remind yourself:

You’re not the only one praying. You’re simply the only one whose prayers you can see right now.

Take a moment today to pray not only for the husband you hope to meet, but for the man God may already be shaping. Pray for his heart, his faith, his healing, his character, and his readiness. Pray to become the kind of woman/wife God wants you to be. Then release what you cannot see back into the hands of the God who sees it all.
