One day, I shared with my unmarried friend that when I was single I thought marriage was all about finding the right partner. I thought if you find âthe one,â youâd be happy, secure, and fulfilled. I do think itâs good to have a list of standards that you look for in a spouse. However, it can never be with the expectation that if you find that special someone, heâll right all your wrongs and fill up all your insecurities. The problem with this thinking is the pressure it will eventually put on your spouse. To expect another person to make you feel happy, secure, and fulfilled will leave you disappointed at best and disillusioned at worst. Even a great husband makes a very poor God. Only God can settle those deep heart-needs. A man can never do this. If a husband could meet every need his wife had (and vice versa), weâd have no need for God. Therefore, instead of just focusing on finding the right partner, let God work on your heart to help you become the right partner.â - Lysa TerKeurst {For more encouragement like this post, subscribe to Lysaâs blog here - bit.ly/1px5ywD }
