No one else heard it. I was stunned. I found out about three weeks later that this man (now my husband), had a strange but brief dream that same night. In the dream, he heard a voice that told him, “You have just met your wife”. He woke up and knew the dream was about me, and came back to see me that day. We’ve been inseparable ever since. It’s been 21 years. catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=906I’m interested in hearing any positive stories about finding your husband/wife after prayers, no matter how long it took.
I just want hope that my prayers can be answered if my vocation is marriage
Thank you, I have prayed this before but did again just now.
Maybe it was Raphael I heard! Who knows? I still can’t get over it. I’ll pray for you.Thank you, I have prayed this before but did again just now.
Boomerang thanks for sharing, I’m sure it would be heaps easier if everyone’s guardian angel could point out their future spouse!
Sure we have our moments, our ups and downs, and there’ll be more to come, but by golly let no one say prayers aren’t answered!! 
Thank you for sharing! I’m happy for you and congratulations on the soon-to-be born son!Yes! When I was really young, maybe round 13 or so, I heard on the Catholic radio a story of a girl who had prayed for her future husband, and kept it up. When she finally married, she told her husband about her prayers, and the day she had started (she’d kept a journal or some-such), and he turned to her in astonishment and said that was the day his home-town had been bombed and how he had survived and all.
This inspired me to pray for my future husband, and even though I didn’t think it would be that dramatic, and I maybe wasn’t praying every single day, I did keep praying, asking Him to watch over whomever He’d chosen for me, help him to become a good husband, and to prepare me for that one too, and to help me recognize him when our paths crossed. It was often agonizing, because I felt like I had so much to give and yet, no one to give it to. I had to go through a few boyfriends whom I knew, often within weeks, weren’t the one for me, and it was depressing. It almost got to the point where I couldn’t/didn’t want to be in relationships because it just didn’t seem to be what I was praying for, and I was getting to the point of actually getting into the habit of breaking up.
Finally, in college, I met someone who didn’t give up on me, and whom I couldn’t chase away. Lol. It took a year before I agreed to date him, but we dated for the rest of college, and during that time I slowly began to realize my prayer was being answered. Once I realized it, I wouldn’t let go of him either! We got engaged, and now, here we are! Married almost two years later and ready to give birth to our son anytime in the next couple weeks!! :extrahappy: (On my wedding day, I was told I was the calmest bride anyone had ever seen, and I agreed that I was totally calm, not at all worried or freaked out (a blessing, that). And it was because I had absolutely NO doubt whatsoever about the man I was marrying).
Patience is hard, but oh so beautiful when you see the fruits of it!
Edit: Married for almost two years lol
I’ve prayed for someone for years. I would “give up” and someone would appear that at first looked like an answer to former prayers, but they turned out to not be. So I’m not real sure what lesson I was supposed to learn from those experiences.I loveeeee your story!Definitely, yes. I fervently prayed for God to send me a man I could love, and about four months later I met a nice Catholic man, and we hit it off immediately. It was very supernatural, though. That is why I absolutely know God heard my prayer. When we met, I heard a fairly loud, physical voice that seemed to originate about eight inches behind the back of my head, that announced, “You’re going to marry him”. I mean this was a true, audible voice. Like a person standing right behind me, only there was no one there. And this voice didn’t sound like a man or a woman. It was asexual, but completely normal sounding. I nearly jumped out of my skin when it happened.
I have no clue why God answered my prayer in such a dramatic and amazing way. I’m sort of expecting him to give us some sort of “mission” or something, but so far nothing. Maybe there was no particular reason for this intervention. Maybe it was just a free gift. Anyway, I’m just thankful to our Heavenly Father for all things He throws our way. Peace!
) and nothing. So this woman gets really upset because st Anthony didn’t help so she grabbed the statute, stepped out of her house and threw the statute towards the sidewalk. A man was walking on the sidewalk and the statute hits that man (feel bad for the guy, what a way to meet someone) and he screams, so the woman runs to him apologizing and asking how she can help. The man became her husband and they.have been happily married for many years. I always got a kick out of that story and my mother’s friend loveeees to tell everyone the story of how her and her husband met hahahaha, though I think that story needs a do not attempt this at home LOL I did have to do some work on my own self and issues before he found me, but my prayers were answered.You could be me . . . I haven’t had any answers either “yes” or “no.” And no, my desire to be married has never been taken away, either. I’ve never received any “hints” about another path. Sometimes I feel like some poor sucker who’s been left on hold on the prayer phone hotline too long. Just not getting a response. But at my age (pushing 60), I’ve pretty much thrown in the towel. I’m not expecting anything. I guess I’ve just accepted it because I don’t really feel that bad about it most of the time, but sometimes I wonder why I’ve been left out.Mine have not been answered – at least the way I wanted
I’ve since started praying that God would take the desire to be married away from me. I still turn my thoughts to that but I just continue to pray that He will turn my dreams to another path.
to the Holy Trinity in front of the Crucifix a few times per day to guide that man He has for me, to protect him from evil and from this mundane world. I prayed and prayed with hope very certain that God was listening and answering my prayers. I kept praying for the protection and guidance of that man He has for me, that he walks the right path towards salvation. I concluded all the prayers with " And let us meet when you think it is time for us to meet." I prayed humbly to God with hope, confidence and trust. Years went by, I continued to pray, and that man appeared in an unexpected place. I did not know it was him the man God had for me, so I trusted God my feelings and asked God through prayer many times, and he answered with that man’s actions. One of them was " if this man knows Spanish, then he is the one." And exactly the next day, this man talked to me in Spanish without me doing anything or asking. Since then, God gave us many green lights, and here we are now betrothed. Patavium, God’s work of art, my most precious blessing to love and cherish, to be faithful to him and guide him towards holiness, my treasure, my confidant, my saint.
