Love Letters to My Future Bride and Wife to Be

By Dr. Christopher Handy, Ph.D.

This book is a collection of letters written specifically to my future bride and wife to be. I decided to write these letters now, because I wanted her to have a firsthand look into my heart. I wanted her to see a man who’s not afraid to express himself or show the woman he intends to marry how much he will love her, cherish her, be devoted to her, and willing to spend the rest of his life with her building a life and a family together. I not only wanted her to read these words but to feel them, as they poured from my heart to hers, because they were written especially for you, my future bride and wife to be.

About this book

This book is a collection of letters written specifically to my future bride and wife to be. I decided to write these letters now, because I wanted her to have a firsthand look into my heart. I wanted her to know that I am a man so secure in himself enough to post his feelings, his thoughts, his deepest wishes and desires in a respectful, loving manner, spiritually and deeply. I wanted her to see a man who’s not afraid to express himself or show the woman he intends to marry how much he will love her, cherish her, be devoted to her, and willing to spend the rest of his life with her building a life and a family together. I not only wanted her to read these words but to feel them, as they poured from my heart to hers, because they were written especially for her, my future bride and wife to be.

About the Author

Foreword

Why I Am Single?

I am single not because I can’t find anyone or I am not attractive on the contrary, it’s because I am trusting God for the woman of my dreams that’s He is preparing for me. God is preparing a special Woman for me who will first become my best friend, my companion, my soul mate, my wife, and my life partner. A woman who will love me that way I need to be loved and treated and who will stand by me through the good and the bad.

My God has seen my heart aches, my disappointments, my loneliness, and He knows my heart and what’s best for me. He has heard my many prayers and He knows the desires of my heart and what’s best for me.

Therefore, I desire a real woman whose devoted, strong, mature, intelligent, loyal, and most importantly whose heart is filled with God’s love. When God sees the time is right He will sends her into my life and she will be welcome and treated like the Queen she is, and until then I shall remain single.
