How do you say "before finding a husband"? Can you only use the gerund with estar, seguir, continuar, pasar tiempo, disfrutar and divertirse or can you say "antes econtrando un esposo"?

We don´t say this kind of sentence structure using gerund, so it would have to be: Antes de encontrar un esposo ...... with infinitive, or: Antes de que encuentre un esposo with subjunctive.
Gerund is used while another action takes place (Me pasó corriendo en la calle) or when the action happens at the moment of speaking (Estoy preparando tu cena).
Any verb can be used in gerund.
