The Man You Really SHOULD Marry.


 Someone who puts God before me.
       I was sitting in YSA one Sunday listening to this boy give a talk about marriage and dating. You know, the YSA usual. To be honest the whole time I was sitting there thinking, "Really, another freaking talk on marriage?! I hear these all the time." But then something he said stood out to me, "A woman should be so close to God that a Man has to go through him to get her." It should apply the other way around, too. This is going to sound weird but I don't want a guy who puts me before his scripture study or prayers. In all honesty I should come second to his relationship with Heavenly Father because a guy who put's Heavenly Father's will first will always make right choices.
“As we got closer to marriage, I felt completely confident that Gordon loved me. But I also knew somehow that I would never come first with him. I knew I was going to be second in his life and that the Lord was going to be first. And that was okay. It seemed to me that if you understood the gospel and the purpose of our being here, you would want a husband who put the Lord first.”

Ladies, at the top of your list should be someone who spiritually makes you better. You shouldn't have to drag him away from his sports center to go to church. You shouldn't have to plan FHE around his gaming time with his buddies.
Those lists you made as a young women really do matter. Don't settle for someone because you think no one else will come around.
Now, obviously, we've all got weaknesses, and your husband will. But marry someone who is willing to overcome those with you.
Overall, seek your Heavenly Father's approval in your choice. He knows above all others who you should marry.
