1.Your Future Husband Will Prove He’s God’s Choice for You By Doing What Will Work to Win Your Heart

The simplest way to know God’s sovereign plan is to just look at what is happening. Psalm 135:6, “Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.”

There are certainly a lot of questions that popup whenever we begin to think about how God’s will and human responsibility intersect, but we must never forget the biblical basics that God will always accomplish what he has predestined to accomplish (Ephesians 1:11). This does not negate our responsibility to obey him and reap what we sow (Galatians 6:9); rather, the fact that God is sovereign can give us strength to work out his will in our lives, knowing that he will always produce what he has planned for us (Philippians 2:12-13).

When we apply these principles to this topic of your future husband proving that he’s God’s choice for you, we can say that this man will be directed by God to say and do the exact right things at the exact right time so that your heart wants to be this man’s future wife.

Just because you want to be with a man does not mean he is your future husband. However, if you never want to be with a man, that is a sign he is definitely not your future husband. So the first way this man will prove he’s the one for you is by being the guy you would want to marry.

2. Your Future Husband Will Prove He’s God’s Choice for You By Risking Getting Hurt Rather than Looking for a Guarantee

Some people are so afraid of getting hurt that they will never be able to truly love. For real love to take place, we must accept that real pain is always a possibility. As C.S. Lewis wrote:

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

Therefore, when a man proves he is God’s choice for you, this man will have shown he’s willing to be hurt by you. He will risk rejection in the beginning of the relationship. He will risk trusting you as he opens his heart more and more in the middle of the dating journey. And he will risk committing to you for his whole life, believing that you will choose to be the person you have shown him to be rather than negatively changing after you get married.

When God made us, he made us free (Genesis 2:15-17). He knew there could be no guarantee making us obey him because that would rob us of the essential quality for true love, which is choice.

Likewise, if a man needs a guarantee that he will never get hurt by you, he’s not ready for true love. None of us can offer that type of security. Love is always a risk. If he can’t handle that truth, it means he’s not ready to be your husband.

3. He Will Want to Be with You Because You Both Compliment Each Other’s Lives Rather than Needing to Change Each Other’s Lives

Compromise will always be an essential ingredient to true love. However, as Christians, our first allegiance must always be to God. If a human relationship would hinder our relationship with Jesus, this is not what God wants for us.

Oftentimes we think of sin when we imagine a relationship that would hurt our walk with God. However, even a good relationship between two Christians who love the Lord can still not be God’s will. When God has two different paths for a man and woman, the Lord does not want them to compromise on his calling.

Rather, when God reveals your future husband to you, this man will prove he’s God’s choice for you when your two lives are being led by God in the same direction. Your capacity for love and ministry will increase through your partnership.

When this man looks at you, he will know you are the helper God designed specifically for him just as he made Eve specifically for Adam (Genesis 2:18).
