One of the coolest things I've seen in dating Magnus is how God puts similar things on our hearts. When we were first dating I really wanted to have more time to pray with Magnus and so I prayed and asked God how to tell Magnus or even just TELL Magnus. The next day Magnus comes up to me and says "I'm not sure if this is from God... but I think we should be praying together more." I quickly let him know my prayer and was happily surprised to see God at work in that way between us.
I was reminded of this again Saturday at the Night of Prayer and Praise. It was a time of corporate prayer - for the school, the profs and for revival. I felt God pressing on my heart to pray for repentance - that repentance must come before revival. As I was thinking this and contemplating going up and praying for this, Magnus leaned over and said "I think God's given me a word for the school - we need to be repentant before he will bring revival." This clearly confirmed what I was feeling and went up and prayed. It was cool.
I think that's one of the cool, often neglected/forgotten aspects about dating (and then marriage) - God can confirm and encourage one and the other in the same direction. We are brought together so that together we may do more then we could apart. And that involves recognizing the same Holy Spirit is at work in both of us - so why wouldn't God put the same thoughts, ideas and dreams on our hearts?
