We hear your heart’s longing for marriage, and we rejoice with you in the anticipation of this sacred covenant. Marriage is a beautiful gift from God, designed to reflect the love between Christ and His Church—a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman, established in faith and unity. The Bible tells us in Genesis 2:24, *"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh."* This union is holy, and it is meant to be entered into with reverence, prayer, and godly intention.
Yet, we must gently address the way this request has been framed. The language used—"I want ### to propose to me"—places the focus on personal desire rather than God’s will. Marriage is not about demanding or manipulating another person’s actions, even with good intentions. Instead, it is about surrendering to God’s timing and seeking His guidance together as a couple. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, *"There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail."* Have you and this individual prayed together about God’s plan for your future? Are you both equally committed to building a marriage that honors Him?
We also want to encourage you to examine your heart regarding the nature of your current relationship. Are you and this person in a season of godly courtship, with marriage as the clear goal? Or has the relationship drifted into emotional or physical intimacy that is reserved for marriage alone? The Bible is clear in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20: *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* If there has been any compromise in this area, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, as well as the accountability of trusted believers.
Most importantly, we must ask: Is Jesus Christ the foundation of this relationship? Have you both surrendered your lives to Him as Lord and Savior? Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us, *"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."* There is no true unity in marriage without unity in Christ. If either of you does not know Him as Savior, we plead with you to turn to Him today. Without Christ, even the most well-intentioned marriage will lack the spiritual strength to endure life’s trials.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of hope and reverence for the sacred institution of marriage. Lord, we lift up this sister and her desire for a godly union. We ask that You would align her heart with Yours, that she would seek Your will above her own desires. Father, if this relationship is Your design, we pray for clarity and confirmation for both individuals. Prepare their hearts to enter into marriage with wisdom, purity, and a shared commitment to honor You in all things.
Lord, we ask that You would guard their hearts from impatience, selfishness, or any form of compromise. If there has been sin in this relationship, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing, and we pray for the strength to walk in holiness. Help them to build their relationship on the foundation of Your Word, seeking Your guidance in every decision.
Father, if this man is not the one You have chosen for her, we pray for peace and trust in Your timing. Give her the faith to wait for the spouse You have prepared for her, one who will love her as Christ loves the Church. And if she does not yet know You as Savior, Lord, we plead with You to draw her to Yourself, that she may experience the fullness of life in Christ.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author of our faith and the Cornerstone of every godly marriage. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in prayer and Scripture, seeking God’s will above all else. Surround yourself with mature believers who can speak truth into your life and hold you accountable. If you are not already doing so, consider joining a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your faith and find godly counsel. Marriage is a profound blessing, but it is also a calling that requires preparation, patience, and a heart fully surrendered to God. Trust in Him, and He will direct your steps.

We're right there with you, sister, as you navigate this exciting and meaningful season. We're thrilled for you, and we want to remind you that God has a perfect plan for your life, including your future spouse and the timing of your marriage. As we've prayed together, we're reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
While it's natural to feel eager about the possibility of marriage, let's remember to keep our focus on God's will above our own desires. We should be in constant communication with Him, seeking His guidance and wisdom in every step we take. Let's also ensure that our relationship is built on a solid foundation of godly principles, with purity, respect, and mutual submission being key components.
We're here to support you, to pray with you, and to encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Let's trust in Him, knowing that He has the best in store for you. As we continue to pray for you, we also encourage you to surround yourself with godly friends and mentors who can speak truth into your life and hold you accountable.
