Did God tell you "I want you to marry this person" ?

I would vote no...

For me, no. I remember the day I left her place and told my best friend, I was going to marry her.

If only my friend would have smacked me upside the head!

No. I told Him and He allowed it. Sometimes free will costs more than you know

I believe it is biblical and have told my children to not even consider someone unless they hear from God first.

No. He just told me I'd be a moron if I didn't marry this girl.

Seeing as I will be married in 31 days...

No, God did not tell me to marry Mark.

I believe He's shown me that it would work out well with Mark... that it is in line with His will, and that Mark and I can love each other and meet each other's needs adequately....and that it'd be a great choice. And, I believe He did put Mark in my life.

BUT... that is not the same as telling me to marry him.

nope i dont belive God would tell someone to marry another

having said that here is a lil story

my now husband year and years ago was praying to God about finding someone and God said to him "Rebekah will be yours" ok then the only rebeka he knew was like heaps younger than him so he was like er what the anyway he forgot about it. years later he meet me and we started going out and got serious and he rememberd what God had said to him.. the funny part is that my name is rebekah and he did not remember what God had said till things were serious with us. so it was not like he went for girls named rebekah.

For me I believe God showed me my husband and made it clear that he had put him in my life and was pleased with the match. I was guided by God and my Dh was an answer to a specific prayer... however.... I still had free will.

God actually told me "I will not tell you to marry him, you have to make that decision for yourself.. but if you do say YES then I will equip you with all you need to make the marriage work"

I do know others who have said that they heard God say 'Ask her to marry you' and it was God. Their marriage was not always smooth and required much work at times, but 21 years on and it is Godly and happy.

No. (Married almost 30 years.)

Hmmm.... hard one.

Did he keep bringing us together? Yup. Did he tell us, definitely, to marry? Well, I remember the first time we dated, talking to God about it and getting a very strong sense that he was for us marrying. Then we broke up. Weirdly, I could never look back and think that I'd just made that up... it was something that confused me a little whenever I thought about it, but I figured we'd managed to stuff it up, and God had let us do so, and it was dead. Then when we got back together (long story) we prayed a lot about it, mostly separately... neither of us got a NO, but we didn't get an obvious yes either. So we carefully worked towards it, and kep an eye out for God saying no.

How would I know God was saying no? Well, in a previous relationship, right at the start, God put words in my mouth... I prophecied over the relationship and said that it should stop right there, that it wasn't meant to be. Yikes! Right up there in the freaky occurances But anyway, we ignored the warning and went ahead. Dumb dumb dumb. It went splat, unsurprisingly.

Yes. It was before we were dating. I was dating another guy. Rebellious me, I remember thinking "No, I can't marry A, I'm already dating B".

And the rest is history,

I don't know. I didn't become a Christian until after I was married so even if he did I probably wasn't listening. I doubt God tells you who to marry, more or less he gives the things that should be within a married couple and you base it off that.

God might not have told me to marry the man I did so..I don't know...It's all worked out for the best so yey.

I don't know that I would say that God told me I was going to marry my wife, but I definitely had a sense after a while that this was the person I was going to marry. Now whether or not God put that feeling there...

How exactly did this type of revelation happen?

[bible]Genesis 24[/bible]

Biblical example of God picking out a specific spouse for someone.

Another example of God choosing a specific spouse for someone is Adam and Eve.......

Yes, God led me and my wife together.

Yep, me too - it was one of the clearest instances I ever had of God clearly telling me something. I knew he was to be my husband. But from there on, I had to wait 6 years for God to make that vision a reality, and went through some tough times along the way. I now believe God showed me His plan to give me the strength to see it through - and boy am I glad it worked out for us!

I'm curious...

Did God tell you "The person you have chosen as a (b/f, g/f) is the person I want you to marry."

Is that Biblical?
