How do you know when God has sent you your mate?

I have been back in the dating scene for about 2 yrs now. I have had a very rough time with it. I am a single mother with 4 children and God has shown me that he will send me a husband. It is so hard to really know for sure. I would love to hear about how others came to realize they had found or been blessed with their God given spouse. How do you know for sure? How do you keep from making a mistake? How should a woman be prepared? Does her financial status matter? Does a man have to have every single thing in order before he looks for his mate? I dont want to make another mistake, so I am believing and waiting, just need good advice and some words of wisdom. Thank you LIBAW members

What a comfort to know this truth of our bridegroom and to know where we are going to spend eternity, thanks for the reminder Barry.

I definitely understand that. I was there 4 yrs ago. One of the toughest things I ever had to endure was the failure of my marriage. BUT GOD.......... It took awhile to heal, but I am better now. I will be praying for you also! God bless you

Thank you Brandy, and I will be praying for you as well --I am so confused about how I am to respond according to our Lords will and not my own, which is the hardest part in this trial. It would be so easy if I were not His child and under his Lordship . I am trying my best to lay my will down and pick up my cross and follow Christ and His leadings no matter what. If I were in the flesh I would have walked away and gave up, quit, tooken the easy way out. But, I am a child of the King, and I will wait upon the Lord and concentrate on allowing His spririt to change and refine me.

I feel like I am developed in my emotional status, and that I am well aware and prepared to be the kind of wife God calls me to be, but I wonder if financial status matters. I went through a divorce and am still recovering financially. Im not sure if Im 100% in any area, but I am getting close. God has shown me that I will have atleast 2 more children and I am almost 35, so I would think my Boaz would arrive soon, but who knows. I just dont want to be confused or tricked by satan. Been there done that.
