1
Hey everyone, today we're talking about praying for your future spouse.
2
What's that about?
3
Should you do it?
4
Why or why not?
5
Hey, we're Jackie and Bobby Angel with Ascension Presents.
6
So, praying for your future spouse.
7
Well, St. Paul, I think he would say you should.
8
It says in Philippians, in chapter 4, verse 6, It says, have no anxiety about anything, but in everything, everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,
9
let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
10
You know, some people are like, oh, praying for your future spouse is ridiculous or it makes me anxious or whatever.
11
Like I shouldn't be thinking about the future.
12
It's like, listen, if you're going to talk about this with anybody else, then you absolutely should be talking about it with God because prayer is just conversation with God.
13
So first of all, God is outside of time.
14
So if you are called to marriage, he knows who your future spouse is.
15
So of course, yes, pray for your future spouse.
16
But also if this gives you anxiety, thinking about the future, I think prayer is, again, you're communicating this with God, whatever is on your heart,
17
whether you are anxious about it, whether you are excited about it, whether you're feeling lonely, all of that should be given to God in prayer.
18
Everything.
19
And I would say too that just as we would pray for our health or our finances or our our job, you know, our future, we should also then give the other person
20
that we're going to be aligned with to God in prayer.
21
That they're being formed, that they're being a whole person, that they're being blessed in whatever they're going through,
22
wherever they are, whenever we will get to be with them and unite.
23
You know, there's no church document on soulmates.
24
Like, we don't subscribe to, like, the uber romantic Hollywood idea of a soulmate, but nor is it just a cold detachment either.
25
God is guiding all things.
26
God has his providential hand in our lives, you know, in the mystery of how that aligns with our free will, that we are deciding our lives here.
27
But God absolutely has a hand and cares who we marry, who we end up with, because that's going to affect generations upon generations.
28
Part of prayer is a detachment.
29
It's really saying, God, I trust you.
30
I trust you with my future.
31
I trust you in your plans.
32
It's a detachment.
33
It's learning how to be detached from the world.
34
We have these desires, which are good.
35
A lot of people desire marriage and family to have kids and that's beautiful, but you know what?
36
We're not guaranteed any of those.
37
You guys, we're not even guaranteed tomorrow.
38
Everything in prayer, it should be, we offer to God and we say, God, I'm all yours.
39
I belong to you and I want what you want.
40
Even that modern obsession we have with romance and marriage and we turn it into an idol, like that's going to satisfy the aches of our hearts.
41
That's going to, I ride off into the sunset on my wedding day and then it's eternal bliss.
42
It's like, no. But I mean, yes, of course, with you, honey.
43
Yes, always, of course.
44
It's really a call again, Jesus, I trust in you, I place this in your hands.
45
Help me not to make this marriage into an idol.
46
Help me not to make this other person into an idol.
47
I'll be happy when this happens.
48
Like, God wants us to live in the here and now, whatever may come, if we're blessed with a long life or we're not.
49
So that could be journaling for them, that could be doing a rosary for them daily, that could be just, again, quiet prayer.
50
If this is an exercise you're brushing aside, like, oh, this is dumb, this is stupid.
51
What's going on there?
52
Is it that I don't really trust in God, that God cares enough?
53
So I don't really think he cares about my happiness or the well-being of my life?
54
Or maybe you don't think God wants you to be happier at all.
55
Yeah, maybe that's going on.
56
Maybe, you know, for my own experience, it could be like you're too attached to your lust.
57
I'm too attached to the way I'm living because to give that up to God, to give my romantic life to God would mean I have to surrender it.
58
And if that's something that I'm, no, no, that's mine.
59
Like, I'll give you some other things, God, but not this thing over here.
60
It could be a sign of, the flippancy could be a sign of, well, I don't want God to take over this part, which is really like, this is where he needs to come in
61
and clean house and rearrange some stuff in my life right now.
62
Both of us, before we got married, we both knew that God was the one, like God was the one who satisfied every part of our hearts.
63
We weren't looking for each other to do that.
64
We both are in love with each other and love each other, but our whole goal in our marriage is to get each
65
other to heaven to get each other closer to god really that's that's the goal of our marriage
66
and so we are not god we don't idolize each other um he is my best friend
67
but at the same time it's like we both know
68
that god is the one who's going to satisfy our hearts
69
and that when you pray again draw near to it says i think it's james draw near to god
70
and he will draw near to you i'm just going to leave you again with a scripture verse
71
if you have struggles with you know the future
72
and discernment write this down philippians chapter 4 verse 6 to 7 have no anxiety about anything
73
but in everything by prayer
74
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to god
75
and the peace of god which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
76
That's the goal.
77
The goal of prayer for anything is to keep your heart
78
and mind in Christ Jesus and to really say with your future, your vocation, Jesus, I trust in you.
79
Whatever you were calling me to do, whatever it is, if it's for a spouse and family, if it's to give myself fully to you, Jesus, I trust in you.
80
Thanks for watching.
81

为何这段视频是优质口语素材？
这段关于“为未来伴侣祈祷”的视频对话自然流畅，语速适中，涵盖日常口语表达与宗教文化词汇，非常适合英语学习者提升发音和语感。内容围绕真实情感与信仰展开，句子结构多样，既有简单句也有复合句，能帮助学习者熟悉不同语境下的表达逻辑。同时，对话中包含“anxiety”“providential”等实用词汇，结合具体场景更容易理解记忆，是练习雅思口语的优质素材。
拆解自然表达，学习地道口语
1. “Hey everyone, today we're talking about praying for your future spouse.” 开头用口语化的“Hey everyone”拉近距离，“talking about”直接引入主题，符合日常交流习惯，避免生硬。
2. “It says in Philippians, in chapter 4, verse 6, It says, have no anxiety about anything...” 重复“it says”虽看似简单，却真实还原了说话者引用经文时的自然状态，体现口语表达的灵活性。
3. “Like, we don't subscribe to, like, the uber romantic Hollywood idea of a soulmate.” 句中两个“like”为填充词，是英语口语中常见的停顿方式，使表达更自然，避免过于正式。
4. “That could be journaling for them, that could be doing a rosary for them daily, that could be just, again, quiet prayer.” 用“that could be”排比结构，清晰列举不同祈祷方式，逻辑严谨且口语化。
影子跟读练习法，提升英语发音
利用这段视频进行英语影子跟读练习，可按以下步骤操作：首先，完整观看视频，熟悉内容与语速；然后，逐句播放，每句暂停后立即跟读，模仿发音、语调与节奏，重点关注“anxiety”“providential”等词的发音；最后，使用shadowing site录制自己的跟读音频，对比原音，修正发音细节。每天坚持15分钟，不仅能提高英语发音，还能增强口语流畅度，尤其适合雅思口语练习。通过shadow speech训练，学习者能逐渐掌握自然口语的表达习惯，提升交流能力。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | be made · are called · should be given |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | desires, which are · part, which is · one who satisfied |
| 用 “should” 提建议 should + 动词 — 表示应该做的事 | Should you do · shouldn't be · should be |
| 过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作 | weren't looking · were calling |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
