How hard was it to find your spouse?

Before I dated the guy who became my husband, I was single for 6 years.. The last boyfriend I had broke my heart tremendously thats why I swore to be more careful in choosing the guy I'll love next.. When I met my husband, I still wasnt sure if "he is the one", although I was attracted to him at first sight.. We became friends and would constantly talk with each other through text messages.. I already knew that he's in love with me because he told me so, but I dunno yet what to answer.. Although I knew that I was already falling for him, I was hesitant cos I was afraid to be hurt again.. Then one time we sort of had a little argument over a topic we were discussing.. He didnt contact me the whole day and I was missing him terribly.. I prayed and I was really crying while talking to God.. I told Him how I felt and I asked Him to give me a sign if "the guy who became my husband" was the one He has meant for me.. I told God that if this is so, He would tell Ron (the guy who became my husband) to text me that night.. If not, then he's not the one.. Just as I finished praying, I received a text message from him asking how I was.. I was so delighted that that very evening, I agreed to be his girlfriend.. We got married exactly 6 months after that..

I actually married someone I knew wasn't right for me, (long story, I'll tell it another day) but eventually I met the right man for me. I was talking about this with some friends today and we agreed that when you know you just know; for me it was about compromise - I was willing to let him shoulder some of my life and be my partner rather than dominating the relationship myself. The day I admitted to myself that I 'needed' him was the most frightening of my life - I was in tears - as I had never, ever, experienced that depth of feeling for someone before. I am lucky in that he is my partner - in every sense of the word - and together we are strong and complete and compliment each other. It took me till I was 30 to find him though!!
