When I was growing up I would dream about getting married and having a family of my own. My parents were divorced and almost all of my friends' parents were divorced. I didn't have a relationship with God and I didn't have any adult in my life to show or teach me about the kind of person I should marry.
I really didn't know what a good husband would look like for me.
As my life changed and I invited God into my life, I began to learn by His example what kind of man I should marry. It was then, as a grown adult in my 20's that I began to dream of my future husband. That was so much different than dreaming of getting married.
As a mother, I pray that my son will begin to dream now of his future wife. He's only 11 years old, but I'm hoping he puts in many years of practice praying for her and figuring out the kind of wife that God has for him. The Person I Marry by Gary Bower is the perfect tool to help him do that. This beautifully illustrated book is a tender approach to highlighting the invaluable traits we should all be looking for in our spouse. The story is presented in a rhyme that captivates the listener, both young and older. It is part of their Bright Futures Series. Enjoy this video sample...
