Cade Thompson Wrote “Dear Future Wife” 4 Years Ago and Now He’s Found Her

God’s timing is never late… and for Cade Thompson, that promise means a whole lot more right now. 💍

From Quarantine Song to Real-Life

In early 2021, Cade wrote “Dear Future Wife” during a season of being alone and searching.

“I wrote the song … in the middle of quarantine. If I’m honest, I think about my future wife a lot. … This song is an anthem to help me keep the fight to become the best man I can be for my future wife.”

The lyrics stay true to that statement. Instead of a song dreaming and fantasizing about what his wife will be like, it’s a song where he encourages himself to be the best man of God he can be:

I’ve been hoping, I’ve been prayingThat you’re out thereSomewhere on this earthWhile you’re waiting, just for meI’ll do my best, so I can beThe future husbandThat my future wife deserves

A Devotional for the Waiting Season

That heartfelt message grew into a 3‑day devotional on YouVersion. Cade shared this message to go beyond just waiting for a future husband or wife, because we are all waiting on something. He invited readers to draw close, self-examine, and hold tight to God’s timing.

“Whatever your situation is, I want to encourage you to commit to spending time in God’s presence… The waiting is worth it as you trust God with your journey.”

The Moment That Makes the Song Real

This past weekend, Cade posted on social media to announce the incredible news: he’s officially engaged to his best friend, Amber Grace Henges

Waiting That Was Worth It

This is more than just a love story: it’s the tangible fulfillment of a song, a prayer, and a season of faith. This song becomes his story now.

If you’re in a season of waiting: Cade’s journey is a reminder growth and preparation are happening even when your dreams feel distant. Even when you can’t see it, He’s working.
