I don't know about "gut feelings" but I do know what worked for me. I knew my husband for 4 years before I married him. He asked me to marry him on our first date, but I was not willing to say yes to that question even though I could tell from the beginning that this guy was a cut above all of the other guys I knew. He was devastatingly handsome. a snappy dresser, Italian with an accent, sweet and shy, successful, supported his whole family in Italy and treated his mother and sisters like queens, was an armature soccer star, a Catholic Christian like me, spoke 5 languages, had traveled the world, and was 12 years older than me.
Me? I knew that he was the catch of the century, but I was afraid to make a mistake, so I kept the poor guy hanging for 4 years even though he never gave up on me. Poor guy!!
This is how I found out that this was the right guy and that God wanted us to get married. I woke up one morning and said to myself that this was the first day of the rest of my life, so I decided to go to church every morning for nine days with the purpose of asking God to decide my life for me. I asked that if He wanted me to get married to show me to whom and I would marry him. I also asked God to show me what He wanted me to do with my life if marriage was not in that picture.
After those nine days of prayer, all of a sudden every other guy I knew and was dating, disappeared off the face of the earth so to speak. One hopped a ship to his homeland Spain. another joined the army and didn't even tell his mother. Another married the girl next door because he knew her since childhood, and when her boyfriend skipped out on her when she became pregnant, he felt sorry and offered to give the baby a father.
At that point I realized that God had pretty much made sure that all of my boyfriends disappeared from my life. That is when I decided that God had chosen the convent for me. All of my life I had wanted to be a nun but was not completely sure about that either. I was talking with my mother and just mentioned to her that I had decided to become a nun. No sooner had I gotten those words out of my mouth, when the phone rang. It was Frank and he said out of the blue, "Are you going to marry me or not??" I could not believe his timing. If he had waited any longer I would have been out checking out convents. Then he said "I know you don't love me." I said, " How do you know that?", And he said, "I know it but the moment I set eyes on you I said to myself,"That's the girl I am going to marry.", so if it takes forever, I will wait for you." That did it! I said yes, and have never regretted it in 35 years through every hardship and sorrow. That is the test of whether it was destiny.
All I'm trying to say is, if you really want to know if this guy is truly the one, ask God. His answers are awesome. You can't go wrong if you pray and ask God for His Will and not your own. He won't disappoint you I promise.

I met my husband when I was 6 years old. He was 12 and I wrote a note saying I loved him.,he was my brothers best friend , years later I went out with him once when I was 16 then I got married to someone else,and 7 years later while I was 5 months pregnant with my child, I could not bear to see him all the time knowing he was the one I really Loved, My husband made it easy for me by cheating on me while I was pregnant, So I left him and told My Present day Husband how much I loved him,and within 2 weeks we were together, and have been together for 21 years . and Yes I always knew I loved him. we must have had the same cradle in the hospital, LOL .Give your Gut instinct a whirl.. It can't hurt to try can it???Worked for me....True Love Is AMAZING....

First of all, dont call yourself ignorant...more people need to listen to the spirit within.
I met my husband on line... I was in SLC and he was in San Jose. We met in a Christian Chat room while both at work. We are both Mormon and spotted each other right off. There was only one other person in the chat room. He noticed I was a mormon and we chatted and exchanged a few notes and I lost my job two days later. ( I knew it was satan) Luckily, I Had printed out his emails.. and so I had my friend email him my mail address because I had no puter or phone in my apartment. He wrote me a snail mail and we went from there,, phone calls and letters for 2.5 months. He came to Utah and stayed and skied for 3 days. I knew I loved him before I even saw him. Matter of fact when I saw his photo I recognized him from some other time. His face was so familiar to me.
Well, I didnt beleive he was the one still......two weeks later he flew me to CA and I stayed at his parents house for 5 days and two weeks later we were married.
It happens.............not that I would recommend looking for a spouse on line.. I just know it was NOT a coincidence. He knew from the start, the day he met me he had a feeling he was going to marry me. But, he knew if he ever told me that it would send me running.
Pray about it is all I can say............

I was married for almost 10 years to the wrong man and finally left. One day I met a man and I knew it was meant to be the first time I saw him, I swear I could just feel it. I don't know how to explain it other than we somehow found each other. I have never ever felt like that for anyone.

I met my ex boyfriend at the lake. It was perfect and I also had a great feeling. I just knew he was different, it's rather unexplainable. Things didn't work out though, and i'm okay with that. I expierenced what love is and what pain is. Maybe sometimes you have to feel the true hurt and sadness of love before you can truly feel the great things and happiness. Blah.

they at the instant are not Jews by way of fact Jew's don't think the messiah has come yet. they don't believe Jesus so believing in Jesus and asserting your Jewish of course contradicts one yet another.... that is unhappy that there are those Evangelist Christians that decision themselves "Jews". supply up this custom now, your disgracing the two Judaism and Christianity.

Before we were a couple, we prayed that the Lords will be done with this relationship. We prayed that if it wasn't his will that we be together, then to basically dissolve it immediatley. We've been married now for 4 and a half years now

I think you're better off praying about it and wait on the lord.
He may even tell you in a dream.
By the way it's nice to see some one is twitterpated.
Good Luck!!

A long, long time ago,I worked at a Donut shop. This guy came in.....I knew right there and then that he was the one. To my surprise, he thought the same thing.
