‘The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord .’ Proverbs 18:22(NLT)
‘Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Genesis 2:22-24(NLT)

Whether you are just married or have been married for many years, answer this question for me: When did you know that he or she was the one? For me it was pretty early in our dating relationship. Since I thought Nancy was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, I’m sure I thought on date one that I could marry her! Yet, as we dated, I began to see the ways she was different from other girls that I had dated, and they were differences I really liked. She also had all the things that I had liked in other girls I had dated (not that I had dated very many girls). I knew she was the one when I took time to add everything up. She was beautiful, caring, fun, interesting, strong, opinionated, smart, adventurous, and my best friend. Best of all, she loved me and wanted to build a marriage on God. What about you? When did you know? What was on your list?
