When I was single I didn’t think about certain things that would happen while being married. I didn’t really know what to expect. Yes, I’ve had people tell me what their marriage was like, but I didn’t think about what it would be like for me.

So I want to tell those of you who are single some aspects I didn’t think about of what marriage would be like. Giving you a heads up, something to prepare for, and to look forward to.

I also share what to look for in a spouse and how important this decision actually is! DO NOT SETTLE!

One thing I’ve come to realize and love about my relationship with my husband (there are many) is that we are on the same page politically, morally, and religiously. These are important things to note when you are dating someone and talking about marriage. No, you don’t have to agree on everything, but in my opinion the big stuff you should.

If you are single, dating, talking about getting married, I would ask these 3 questions

1. What are their religious beliefs?

2. What are their morals?

3. What are their political views?

These are hard topics to discuss, I get it, but they are vitally important in a relationship. Think about it, you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. This is the person you will be making all your decisions with. This is the person you will be raising your children with. This is the person you are sharing your finances with. This is the person you will live with. This is an important decision. I cannot stress this enough!!

I want to help you become confident in your own skin. I want to help you see your worth. I want to help you become content in the season you are in while also preparing for a relationship.

Do you know what you are looking for in a partner? Do you know the characteristics and traits they would have?

If you answered no to these questions, it may be time to sit down and write out a list of what you are looking for in a future partner. I'm not talking about physical traits. I'm talking about if they love Jesus, are loyal, outgoing, fun to be around, have a sense of humor, have integrity.

Someone suggested I write out a list of what I was looking for in a future husband. I searched my heart for what I truly wanted in a partner and invited God into the process. My list is about 6 pages of characteristics and at the end I wrote out a prayer.

This may be something you need to do to become clear as to who you are looking for. This made dating less overwhelming for me and I was able to sift through guys I didn't want to date because of this list.

This list is not meant for you to be closed minded, but it will help you be firm in your non-negotiables and not settle.

I want to hear from you! If you decide to make a list tell me! You can DM me on instagram @nikki.houseman or send me an email nikkilhouseman@gmail.com

There was a point in time when I was set on meeting my future husband “organically.” I had this dream that I would meet him through friends, mutual friends, or doing something I love. I didn't want my story to be "we met online."

With diving into my relationship with Jesus, working on myself, and truly wanting to be with a quality guy, I started to change my mindset around online dating.

My mantra became it doesn't matter how I meet my husband, it's who he is. With this shift I was able to go into online dating with a new perspective and trust that God can use any situation for me to meet my husband.

Dating online isn't easy, but with the help of my dating coach I was able to put parameters around online dating to make it not so overwhelming and discouraging for me.

I have complied those tips into a free guide for you to use yourself. It's called "Do's and Don'ts of Online Dating." If you would like this free guide, click here!
