It’s hard to believe that a whole decade has passed since I first penned an Open Letter to my future husband. Life has taken me on a journey, shaping me in ways I never could have imagined, and I like to think it’s been for the better. Yet, despite the passage of time, I find myself still single, waiting for that special someone to step into my life. So, here I am, once again, writing another Open Letter to my future husband—this time, with even more wisdom, hope, and a heart that’s ready for what’s to come. Here you go...
Hello, my future husband.
It’s been more than a decade since my first letter to you. Life has changed me in ways I never imagined, but I’d like to believe it’s all been for the better. Every day, in every way, I am growing, learning, and becoming the best version of myself. And I have some good news—I’ve been spending my time wisely in preparation for meeting you. I’ve learned to be vulnerable, to listen deeply, and to understand not just others, but myself. Over the years, I’ve come to practice self-love in ways I never knew I needed.
I’ve gone on many dates, tried defining a few, but none led me to you. Each one, though, left me with something valuable. Some taught me patience, some showed me the importance of boundaries. Some revealed the depth of my own love, while others reminded me of what I should never settle for. And yet, through all the lessons, through every heartbreak and every hope, one thing has never changed—I still believe the universe will align our paths at just the right moment.
So, if you’re out there, know that I’ve been waiting—not passively, but with purpose. I’ve been building myself into the woman I hope to spend forever as. The woman who will create a home filled with warmth, understanding, and laughter. The woman who will stand beside you as we build a future, raise a family, celebrate our little milestones, and navigate life’s ups and downs. And I hope that you, too, have been growing, learning, and becoming the man who will stand beside me through it all.
I hope that beneath all our differences, we crave the same things—love that is steady and true, a life built on trust, a future filled with shared values in family, wealth, and health. And when we finally meet, I hope we recognize each other. Not just by sight, but by feeling—like coming home.
Wherever you are right now, I hope you’re living a life that makes you happy. And I want you to know—I am ready. Ready to stand beside a man who isn’t perfect, but who chooses me, as I will choose him, every day, for the rest of our lives.
