If you could ask God one thing about your future spouse...

Hmmm...

I second the idea that it would be nice to know when I'd meet her. It's not that I'm especially impatient… It's rather than I've been single for a long time.

I also think I would like to know whether or not she has some kind of baggage from earlier relationships, if she has been in a serious relationship before or if she's a single person like myself. Without going into details I might add that this doesn't really matter in itself, it's just that knowing this would clear up some things for me personally.

how many?

My answer would be the question: Why?

Seems sufficiently broad.

When is a killer. If you knew it was a year or three then it wouldn't.
You'd improve yourself, and get ready. But what if it were 10 years?
Then you'd see this seemingly hellacious wait, and you would probably say forget it.
It's just like the trials of life.. If we knew ours futures then we'd probably all give up now, or possibly jump off a cliff.

But when sounds nice still..

For me personally I prayed a ton. Then I had a dream of myself, and my wife walking on a beach with the message of "don't worry about it". Strange. But I hope I can just someday say "this girl is it, and now to be very patient since she is worth it". That'd be easier than sometime, somewhere, and somebody.

I'd like to know how many wives I'm going to have, if any.

Where he is, when we will cross paths, what his strengths and weaknesses are, if he's faithful and loyal (on a scale of 1-10 how loyal he is), if he is wordly, what his personality type is, if he's my missing rib. Mm'kay, that should do.

or maybe I'd like to know why she chose me (or I chose her!)

Will she ever eat canned fish in the same room as me?

what girl would not?

Also, you can't cheat by asking simply who they are or their full name, because thats not the spirit of the game

I'll ask for their first name.

I'd think I would want to know what they look like, probably what they're interested in and doing right now. I'm not sure I'd want to know when, it would take the surprise factor out of it.

What is her love language? How to prove to her that I love her?

Will she appreciate me lifting up the toilet seat. That's what I would ask, the bare-bones of it.

Can I have her number? Where can I find her?

I don't understand?

Ah, I think the thought process I had made me think "why?" was the best possible question to ask God. My thinking was I could just go "why?" and I'd get an answer of some kind. Perhaps not a specific one, and maybe not really all that informative, but I'd imagine there'd be an answer.

My excuse is that I hate spoilers, but would still be too curious not to ask a question, even if it was just vague enough not to provide any real clues.

I had a friend who talked to a psychic about this very question. She asked the psychic what the name of the guy was. I think it was "Kevin." Any way, my friend suddenly started looking for guys named "Kevin." Even more weird is that there came out a movie that was based on the very same thing.

I feel so uninspired, as I can't think of a question. I think my boyfriend and I will marry, eventually. We won't make that decision, for a while, as we are quite young.

To be honest it sounds as a very bad idea to have faith in the predictions of psychics. What if she met someone named “Kevin” who was a charming psychopath? Could quickly become a messy situation!

I do believe that God sometimes will show people that they're meant for each other... He might also promise a single and lonely person a spouse, but to seek a psychic in order to satisfy our curiosity is a dangerous presumption. (I do however realize that your friend isn't necessarily a Christian person.)

God tells us exactly what we need to know and it's not up to us to seek fortune-tellers in order to know the future. We should trust that he wants to guide our lives and that he is there for us even if he for the most time remains quiet about our future.

I think that's smart of you. Even if you love each other you both need time to become truly acquainted with the strengths and weaknesses of the other person. A marriage is supposed to last for life, so waiting for some time before you make a decision is mature of you both!

when will I meet him is what I would ask.
