I nonetheless can’t consider it lastly occurred,” says Karen. They obtained in contact to share their encouraging story – and a few lovely marriage ceremony photographs!
“We met on-line in August 2018 on Christian Connection. I had beforehand expressed that I’d by no means attempt on-line courting, as you don’t know who’s on the market, however I’m glad I took that leap of religion. Ian was the primary and solely connection that I made, after solely being on the location for a matter of weeks. I favored the sound of Ian’s profile, which was right down to earth and straightforward going.
Over time, Ian had prayed that he would meet somebody particular, as had household and associates. One specific morning, Ian remembers having fairly an extended prayer with God. Amongst different issues, he prayed to seek out that particular girl to share his life with.
August 11, 2018, was a big day for us. This was the day we met in individual for the primary time. From the second we met, I noticed a familiarity in Ian. We found throughout our first date that we had mutual associates and acquaintances. Unbelievably, I knew Ian’s sister and brother-in-law, from a previous church connection. So started our courtship, which blossomed into a beautiful relationship. We’ve endured main life adjustments and plenty of highs and lows, over the past six years.
We’ve loved attending to know one another and our households, and rising collectively. Ian is essentially the most real, caring and Godly Christian man that I by no means thought I’d ever meet. He’s the gentleman that God has dropped at me.
When Ian and I met, we have been each in our fifties, by no means married and no kids. God can match make individuals of any age – we’re residing proof of that – you simply need to be affected person and have religion.
In August final 12 months we marked 5 years since we first met. It was on that day that Ian requested me to marry him, and I mentioned sure. He’s so grateful that I did. We stay up for making many extra reminiscences collectively.
My tip for single Christians is to by no means quit and have religion (even when it’s arduous). I do know it’s a cliché, however Ian & I reside proof that it may well occur. God’s timing is paramount. I used to be 53 after I met Ian. I’d by no means had a boyfriend earlier than assembly him, and thought all hope was misplaced. I nonetheless can’t consider it lastly occurred. I can’t consider how a lot my life has modified – I pinch myself each day.
We found that we briefly met roughly 10 years earlier, however it was fleeting. Despite the fact that I knew his sister from church, I don’t assume our paths would’ve ever crossed once more with out Christian Connection (he’s a farmer in a distant space). Our relationship may be summed up in 6 phrases: ‘The Farmer Lastly Acquired His Spouse!’ Thanks God and thanks Christian Connection!”
