By: Dr. Velma Bagby

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Women who marry, never changed their goal of marriage. In the 70s we practiced intentional dating, which meant dating was intended to lead to marriage. How did I meet my husband? I began with a "husband to-be" prayer list. But, God has a list too? Read my personal testimony about my journey to discover love in high school. I am honest about the challenges and heartbreak I faced during my 70s love story and share how God was faithful to get me through it all. You’ll enjoy some humor as you travel back in time when cell phones did not exist and each house was equipped with one telephone. You’ll enjoy my “hallelujah” moment when I discovered our house telephone cord was long enough to reach private space. I was considered one of the lucky ones. The 70s were simple times when we met in person, dating was more about having fun and the guys were respectable. Find out what God did with my "husband to-be prayer list? My story begins with a church assignment to create a prayer list focused on my future husband called, a “husband to be” prayer list. Although, my list was unlike prayer lists today, we believed God’s promises and trusted He will answer when it was time. But, was it God’s will to quickly send an answer to my prayer? I was unsure, because something interesting happened soon after writing my prayer list.
