Courtney and Joshua Washington had preferences. Strong ones. And according to those preferences, they should have never ended up together.

Courtney had made up her mind that she didn’t want Black children, so dating Black men wasn’t part of her plan. Joshua was equally certain about his own non-negotiable: he didn’t want to date a woman with children. Courtney had four.

On paper, they were everything the other person said they didn’t want.

But sometimes God has to deliver you from your preferences before He can introduce you to His provision.

In this powerful episode of "Dear Future Wifey", Courtney and Joshua unpack how God challenged their biases, dismantled their checklists, and revealed how preferences can sometimes become barriers to the very love we’ve been praying for.

Their story asks a provocative question: "What if the person God has for you doesn’t look anything like the person you’ve been looking for?"
