-Do we have free will?
God is the one pursuing us in this marriage. He is the one seeking and courting us, not us seeking after Him. So all in all no, technically he chose us from the very beginning.
-Does God send people to hell?
Yes&no. Everyone has had a chance to have faith in Him whether or not they have a Bible or heard of Jesus. The conscience within us, knowing right and wrong, tells us that there is a higher power.
-We are being courted by God.
When the elect get to heaven we are going to be aware of every sin we committed. Indeed, we will be ashamed. But God being sovereign, will be right by our side showing us how he used the worst situations in our lives to show his glory. We will realize how throughout our whole life, our Father has been holding our hand and molding and shaping us to be the person we were created to be.
The perfect spouse?
A man who can protect, serve, love, and risk his life for you. Someone who will take care and love you for who you are unconditionally. These are the attributes of God x1000. He has all the power in the world, plus the universe He made to back Him up. (forrreal, the end of that sentence is the bomb right?)
Sometimes all the small details of theology get in the way, but its the relationship that truly matters in the end.
