I always prayed for my children's future spouses, but I didn't think to pray for a perfect mate(is there any perfect mate?), after all, I didn't have a perfect mate, I don't even know if anyone prayed for my future spouse. I know I prayed for my future spouse after my first marriage ended. Now I think I get it his not perfect but he is my perfect mate.
My son got married March, 27,2010, to a girl he met in 4th grade. They struggle just like all married couples do, but she has become his perfect mate. I pray for them to have a strong commitment to God and each other, I pray they have a biblical perspective on marriage.
My daughter got married September 27, 2014, to a guy who lives in Canada, she met him online. I have prayed for them from the moment I knew of their relationship. I pray the same prayer over them but I also pray for God to bless them with children as I was told I wouldn't be able to have children, my daughter has been told it may be hard for her to have children. I also pray for God to take care of my baby girl because she isn't anywhere close to me and I can't just pack up and get to her in an hour anymore.
Now for my ten year old I can pray this prayer frequently as he still has time before he chooses his life partner.
As I've mentioned before our family history is full of divorce, domestic violence, pregnancy outside of marriage and so much more .... So I pray the cycles are broken, I pray for a brighter future for my children and grandchildren......
