yep; as it says marry for character not emotion.
Wait for God to bring you the right mate; he will place that situation ther 
if it is his will.

This is so true and that is why I am only married to Jesus until he sends
me the right one and it is like this email message says.  I am so happy to
be receiving this message.
God bless,
Felicia
