Who the Heck Should I Marry?! Gaining vision for your future spouse

August 17, 2021 • Brianne Erman

Friends! Oh, how I have missed you guys! I have been off the grid for a bit as I have been recovering from being sick for the last couple months. But your girl is back!

I start off this episode with a little life update and then launch into our topic of the week: how to gain vision for your future spouse! In a world that over-complicates relationships, it can be so hard to figure out what we are truly looking for in a future spouse. I'm with you and I get it! But over these last few years, God has really shown me His heart for marriage and what His vision is for it. On top of that, He has given me very specific things to look for that have really narrowed down my options while I am on the search for my hubby. And I know that God wants to do the same for you!

In this episode we cover:

God's vision and heart for marriage and relationships
How to know if your standards are too high
How to know what YOU should specifically look for in a future spouse
My personal stories and experiences while navigating this topic

Questions to consider (mentioned in the episode):

What do I want to do career-wise with my life? Do I see my husband/wife being a part of that or is that a negotiable for me?
Do I generally enjoy being around introverts or extroverts?
What areas am I weak in that would be a good balance for me?
What am I physically attracted to?
Where do I want to live in the future? Is this fluid?
What kind of church do I want to go to? Religious beliefs, more conservative or charismatic?
Political views?
What are my hobbies and things that I enjoy and do I want my person to share in those interests?
Any miscellaneous attributes that are important to me?
Am I generally into more tender-hearted, emotional personalities or more thick-skinned, dominant ones?

I pray that is episode encourages you and helps you in your own relationship journey! Love you guys!
