Where to Meet Your Husband - Ten Easy Steps. (If Only!)

Your future husband could literally be ANYWHERE!

I so wish I could give us a ten step plan that would guarantee a husband in 30 days or less. We’ve all been around the block enough to know that no plan exists, nor could it exist. Every love story is unique (thankfully!).

That old saying, “The rules are: there are no rules,” has never been more true in matters of falling in love. Sure, there are guidelines. Helpful behaviour and mindsets. But no formulas.

It’s pretty funny to me, though, that when people find their significant others, they then tout their stories as THE way to find the one you’re looking for.

I know someone who met her husband at a pub, so now she swears the best way to meet someone is by going out as much as possible (preferably to pubs) et voilà, Husbandville. (I met two of my boyfriends this way, but they weren’t long term loves so . . . Yeah.)

On the flipside, another friend of mine met her husband at home. He was one of her housemates who one day saw her as someone more than just a pal to share the chores and cooking duties. (Friends like to tease them about living together before marriage, but in actual fact, they lived together before dating as one of them moved out so they could date.) But, yes, she began telling all of her single friends that if they just moved in to mixed houseshares, they would automatically meet their future husbands. (I’ve lived with guys who were so NOT housetrained that they’re lucky to be alive, much less be the love of my life.)

Then, there are those who met their future life-sharers through online dating. And wouldn’t you know it, now they’re urging you to sign up for your free account, “just to see what’s out there.” Because nowadays it really is the only way to meet someone. (Yeah, I have plenty of my own Internet dating horror stories making hilarious reading for my blogging audience, but not resulting in a forever love connection.)

The most ideal place we’re told to meet someone is at church. You probably know a lot of people who met each other at church and it makes tons of sense, right? You’re both hopefully on the same page spiritually and wouldn’t have to have the potentially messy, “your church or mine?” negotiation. You might even have the same friend group, which makes life integration seamless. (Alas, I also met two boyfriends at church and learned that sadly, if it ends, “your church or mine?” can turn into “your friends or mine?” too.)

Seriously though, you can meet your man anywhere. On the bus. In line at the movies. In an airport (I dated someone for a couple of months that I met at LAX in the American Airlines check-in line. It’s important to note that when we met, it was also 5:30am and I had no make-up on! Anything’s possible, people.).

Anyway, back to the list . . . At church. At home. Online. At a pub. In a hospital. At work. At the grocery store. On a hike. Walking the dog. In a class. At the bank. On a fishing trip. At the laundromat (his whites mixed with your reds? Awww, pink for everyone!).  At the beach. Delivering your mail. Delivering his mail.  Reading his mail. Oops!

On a train. At midnight. In Paris. Sigh . . .

As many places as there are on the planet, that’s the infinite amount of locales that God could choose as the introductory setting of your love story. You can meet him absolutely anywhere!
