February’s print issue included “A Letter to My Future Husband,” a revealing look inside the mind of a real, live Brio-reading teen girl. If you’re paying attention, it offers great insight into how and why females think and act—valuable info, dudes—as well as encouragement to stay sexually pure and spiritually strong until God someday leads you to your future wife.
As promised, here are three more letters from real girls to their future mates. And no, we still won’t give you their numbers.
Hey,
I know it seems weird writing to a guy I’ll someday marry, but girls do many weird things. If you look at all the weird things we do, this won’t seem so weird.
You probably have a million questions about me. I have a million questions about you. It’s natural. I’ll probably answer most of your questions, because I have similar ones. The first answer is: Yes, I’m keeping myself sexually pure. I don’t want a history of guys who gave themselves to me that could show up on our wedding day saying that they were a part of my past experiences. I want you to be my one and only.
Just because I’m “the one” doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to meet other girls. Maybe that new girl in youth group you just said hi to will be me. But be careful when you start looking for me. Not every girl is like me. Some will pretend to be like me and turn you away from God.
You must wonder what I look like. I wonder the same about you. Every time I meet a Christian guy I wonder if he’s you. But I know God will reveal that in time. I may not recognize you at first, but be patient. I will spend time with you as friends, and after being friends I will realize that you’re the one for me.
This has been strange, writing to you. But I hope this letter will keep you accountable and prevent you from doing anything you might regret. I want you to ask your friends to help keep you accountable. My friends are keeping me in check, and I’m doing the same for them. If you stay close to God, I will too, OK?
Will you pray for me? Even though we don’t know each other’s names, we can still pray for each other, because God knows everything.
Until we meet . . .
Love,
Your Future Wife
Hi!
This is a letter to encourage my future Mr. Right.
I have made a promise to myself and God to stay sexually pure until marriage. Dressing modestly is something I struggle with, but I try to, because I would rather dress in a flour sack than cause a man to stumble. I know that the way some girls dress is hard for guys to ignore, but I encourage you to stay pure in your thoughts and actions. As I wait for you, I hope and pray that you’ll wait for me.
I would also encourage you not to focus on appearance when you meet a girl; rather, focus on her inner self. In other words, don’t judge a book by its cover. Get to know her and see if you like her personality. Take a chance on someone different. Maybe the girl for you is the shy, quiet one who sits alone at youth group. Or maybe she’s the fun, bubbly one who makes you laugh like no one else can. Or maybe you just aren’t ready for a girl yet. That’s OK.
I hope this letter has helped you even in a small way. You never can tell what God has planned for you, so I hope you stick close to Him. He has wonderful people and things planned for your life. I have been praying for you, and I hope you’ll do the same for me.
In Christ’s Love,
Girl, Waiting
Hi!
OK, I’ll admit this feels geeky. I write in a journal a couple times a year, and I’ll give it to my husband on our wedding night. But it’s not geeky! I think it’s good to think about my future husband.

Hi, honey!
I was walking downtown yesterday, and I saw a couple hand in hand, just looking at each other as if there were nobody else in the whole world. The look on the man’s face took my breath away. His eyes were locked on hers, and although he wasn’t smiling, the look he gave her showed that his heart was bursting with love. As I walked past, I couldn’t help but look. I saw that both of their left hands had wedding bands. It made me so happy that these two people in the middle of this crazy world were so in love with each other that you could tell just by looking at them as they walked down the street!
That couple got me thinking about us. I hope you are waiting for me in spirit and in body as I wait for you. I know you are out there somewhere. I hope you’re making the right choices about academics, friends, family, drugs, sex and drinking.
I pray you’re holding onto God with both hands. Don’t ever let go! It’s so worth it! It’s hard for me sometimes to hold on to God, to not choose bad friends or wear immodest clothing. But knowing that one day I’ll see you and wanting to be whole for you, I’ll wait. I don’t want guys to see parts of my body that are only for your eyes. I pray each day for more strength from God in those areas.
I love you, and I can’t wait to meet you! And maybe one day we will walk holding hands, and you will look at me like those lovers on the street. Someday.
Love,
Your One and Only
