For Ian and Karen, their connection meant a significant life change: “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,” says Karen. They bought in contact to share their encouraging story – and a few lovely marriage ceremony pictures!
“We met on-line in August 2018 on Christian Connection. I had beforehand expressed that I’d by no means strive on-line relationship, 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 positioning for a matter of weeks. I appreciated the sound of Ian’s profile, which was all the way down to earth and straightforward going.
Over time, Ian had prayed that he would meet somebody particular, as had household and buddies. One specific morning, Ian remembers having fairly a protracted 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 buddies 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 modifications and lots of highs and lows, during the last 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 had been each in our fifties, by no means married and no youngsters. God can match make folks 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 stated sure. He’s so grateful that I did. We look ahead to making many extra reminiscences collectively.
My tip for single Christians is to by no means surrender and have religion (even when it’s onerous). I do know it’s a cliché, however Ian & I live proof that it may possibly occur. God’s timing is paramount. I used to be 53 once 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 day by day.
We found that we briefly met roughly 10 years earlier, but it surely was fleeting. Although 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 Received His Spouse!’ Thanks God and thanks Christian Connection!”
