God gives you his spirit and when the person you are attracted to loves God like you love God, shows fruits of the spirt, is not led by lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, or pride of life, and you respect and admire her...good chances are...

My story is much different and I can not tell it on here, because my wife would kill me, but it is something that God did, not me and not her. We just obeyed.

Truth is: God doesn't wish on you someone you think is unattractive but he gives you sensitivity to the spirit, and when you live in the spirit you are better equipped to make a good decision for your life partner for yourself.

If Apostolics allow God to pick their mates, then God would pick the best mate for them. Humans never pick the best mate for themselves, but they pick what they see that they like, which isn't the best way to pick a mate.

God doesn't have a couples list with your mate on it...he does though, see the future and knows the choices you will make.

Like I said, I didn't choose my mate, but He did choose my mate for me. That's why I know my wife is God's will for me. I would not trust a human in something like that, especially myself.
