I have heard that St. Zelie knew Louis Martin was the man she would marry at once when passing him on a bridge. Does anyone have an original source for this story or any further information?

Also is anyone familiar with other cases where spouses supernaturally knew before they were a couple that they were going to be married?

Interested in what the discernment process looks like in this kind of situation, especially with God’s will being revealed supernaturally to one party while the decision to marry still involves the free choice of both people.

Thanks!
 
When I had first met my husband and we had been spending time together for maybe a couple months with no plan of getting married (At least not on my part), he had a dream that we walked together to the end of a long pier, stopped at the end and smiled at each other. The dream ended there. He thought this was pretty extraordinary because he almost never remembered a dream. He also was not the type of guy who could or would make up a dream to tell me.

I had very mixed feelings about that dream of his because it sounded like we were going to end up married and spending our life together and I was not real keen on that at the time. (I was seeing several other guys, he was not the most exciting one of the bunch at the time.) But it’s what happened.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting that it was a dream - God often speaks through dreams in the Bible.

But that does sound like a tricky situation for you to have had mixed feelings and still be discerning when he had shared with you he was already very certain.
