"Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future"
Since I'm behind a few days anyway because of my surgery, I can go ahead and knock this one out because it's easy.
I am already married to Jeff Quick. We will celebrate 21 years of marriage November 4. Wow! It still blows my mind. I met him when I was 13 and he was 14 so we actually have grown up together. We got married young and it has been tough at times but worth it. We've had our ups and definitely had our downs and there have been times, including very recently that we've almost given up but we keep fighting and hanging in there. For the past month or so and for the first time in 21 years, I can honestly say our marriage is Christ-centered. That doesn't mean it's perfect but it is stronger.
It reminds me of a movie I watched recently, "Not Easily Broken" based on the novel by Bishop T.D. Jakes ( who I love!) At the couples' wedding ceremony, the pastor presented them with a three-strand braid--one strand represented the man, the other the woman and the other God. The pastor told them as long as they kept God intertwined in their marriage, it would not be easily broken--much like a three strand braid.
If we could make it 21 pretty good years without God, how much longer and bettercan we make it with Him? I can't wait to find out!
