We fell in love and have been best friends ever since.
We met on CM and are sooooo grateful for your website. We would not have met without Christian Mingle. We met after about a month of talking
every morning and night. We met half way in Portland on Labor day 3 years ago and we fell in love and have been best friends ever since. We married at
the Luxor on New Years eve 2008. We want to thank you.
Thanks,
Skip and Diana

I thank God for bringing her into my life.
In May shortly after my fathers death and the break up of a three year relationship, I wanted to find a woman that really loved God. I had seen Christian Mingle before so I decided to join and see what happened. After joining I filled out my profile and put my pictures in and placed my title "Looking for my missing rib," and waited... I went searching for my riblet... I
ran across some really nice women, just no connection. And then I ran across Dora, her picture reached out and grabbed me, so I sent her a a flirt, and she responded. It began to grow from there slowly using the tools available
through the site. Then all of a sudden she was gone...as fast as she came and sent only a short note saying that she could no longer talk to me, my heart dropped...She was gone. But I was drawn night after night back to her profile and I would ask where did you go and why did you just disappear? I finally wrote email after email asking the whys? I was on one night about two weeks later and all of a sudden I got a message...it was Dora. I asked her if she was still available? Man I could not IM her fast enough... and she responded!!! My heart
was pounding as we talked. I felt like a young man... we talked for hours and we agreed to talk more. After a few days I sent her my phone number and we began to talk by phone and by IM ...lol. We had sooo much in common and yet we had differences. I was so attracted to her it was not funny. We agreed to finally meet and we met in Concord Ca. at a town square. I was so anxious to meet her and my phone rang..it was her telling me she was lost will be a little late. I thought, oh good that probably means she is not coming. But I sat outside a restaurant and waited...boy am I glad I waited. All of a sudden my phone rang and her voice said I am here. I turned looking for her and all of a sudden a stunning woman raised her hand above her eye and I copied her...my insides were shaking. This woman was like a walking dream. I thought well this is gong to be a very short date, she is way outta my ball park....lol. Then she was right in front of me and I stood and said hello. We grabbed a coffee and talked for a couple of hours and we laughed about how we met, yet, both of us were very thankful for Christian Mingle. When she said I would love to see you again, I thought, wow, you are a brave one... lol. We met at that same place three more times. It was beautiful and I thank God for bringing her into my life. I have
found my missing riblet and now we are making plans to get married sometime in September. I have often wondered where would I be had I not taken a chance to join Christian Mingle. I would have missed meeting the most beautiful woman
in the world and finding that woman who fits perfectly in that place where I am missing a rib.
We are just thankful that we got to find each other and want to encourage others to keep on looking...not for looks, but for that connection that far surpasses looks and money... it is called Love...
Thanks Christian Mingle for helping me find the love of my life and my future wife.

It was clear that there was an immediate attraction.
Don and I met on Christian Mingle and are now happily married. I had joined Christian Mingle, but was a little skeptical so I dropped it for a while, then I came back to check my activity profile and I saw Don's profile as the person who last viewed me. (he actually did the same) I was immediately interested in him because of his desire to settle down and serve in Missions. Despite the fact that I was going through some personal issues, I sent him a thank you smile, thus our conversations started. We agreed not to get personal, but just build on a friendship and even encourage each other in the event our relationship wouldn't go to the next level. It's amazing how much we were able to share by simply emailing one another and we both began to look forward to our emails; we simply shared life's experiences from childhood and so forth. We seemed to have many things in common, the most important of which was that we both loved the Lord and were both interested in volunteering our services in an organization that would help us share and extend the love of Christ. After a few weeks we finally agreed to a church date. :) Yup. This worked out wonderfully. Neither of us would settle for less because we didn't want to be unequally yoked. Although we had been talking on line for a few weeks only we were both still nervous about meeting face-to-face, but within a short amount of time it was clear that there was an immediate attraction.
There were a few weeks of separation in between, but we continued to email each other daily and our relationship became deeper and closer. When we saw each other again it felt like we had known each other forever. Of all places and occasions, we fell in love with each other on a very hot and muggy day, walking through a botanical garden, later followed by a picnic and firework display.
Don and I continued to email and see each other as much as our schedules would allow. It is incredible how much we completed each other. We each have so many similarities and laughed so much at how throughout life we've shopped for the same type of items and foods. I even joked to him that he must have even been in the same store and in the same aisle, looking for very similar items. We almost even finished each others thoughts and sentences... In our marriage and move together we even found out that we completed many sets of items that we each had mismatched. It is incredible! We are even both realistic enough to share that we will have hard times in life, but both feel strongly about ways in how to prevent and resolve disagreeable and/or tough situations. We've both experienced many things in life and know and agree how that our combined life's experiences can only deepen our love for one another as we continue to nurture our personal relationship with Christ, and with each other.
We both feel very fortunate and are looking forward to spending a lifetime together! We would both like to thank Christian Mingle for their wonderful on-line dating service and for giving us the opportunity to meet!

Our love continues to grow every day.
I was on ChristianMingle for a couple of years because hardly any of the guys I knew in church ever asked me out, most of my dates came from guys I met here (and the dates were few and far between). The more guys I met, the more I narrowed my profile and definition of the ideal marriage partner. By the time Ryan logged on for the first time, my profile basically said, "If you don't love Jesus 100%, don't even bother!" Little did I know how much this would help. Yes, it drove many away, but those who pursued beyond the profile knew what to expect.
One night I was bored, and browsed some profiles. I saw Ryan's - and he didn't even have a picture up yet. Simply by what he had written, I found him interesting and a possibility. I smiled. That was all it took. He logged on the next day (his second day on ChristianMingle), saw my profile, and the rest, as they say, is history.
We dated for a year and a half, with me moving closer, he losing his job and gaining a new one, and crazy other circumstances, but God led us the whole way. On April 3rd, 2010, I married my best friend, and our love continues to grow every day.
For those of you with HIGH standards, don't give up. Our first kiss was at the altar after the pronouncement of "man and wife" - my dream for over ten years!
Blessings on your search, but remember, it is God who works things out for good in our lives when we trust in Him. To God be all the glory!

I feel more true love than I ever have in my life.
Even after accepting Christ into my heart, I still tried to find love my own way. I had thought attending services and being active in church activities within my area was my only option in finding a suitable christian man. I reached a point were I had let go and let God take control and hold "the pen of my love story" and completely put my trust in Him. Nobody had told me about Christianmingle.com and then I saw it on an advertisement online. I was overjoyed to find other Christians that were on the search for love just like me and that I was not alone.
I had my moments of uncertainty, but I took a chance. I'm happy God led me to this website because never did I imagine I would actually meet the love of my life on here, Nick. I am from the Washington D.C. area and Nick is from Columbia, South Carolina. We would have never ever crossed paths if it wasn't for Almighty God and Christianmingle.com. Nick is unlike any other man I have ever met. It is so refreshing to find a man who not only loves me, but also has an amazing heart and love for Almighty God. I have dated other Christian men from my area who have broken my heart. It is hard to find someone to date to begin with, especially in my area and let alone, a Christian man.
I have been with Nick for two months now, July 25th was our two-month anniversary. These last two months have been the most romantic, adventurous, and loving two months of my life. We have so many inside jokes already, and adorable little rituals that make our relationship extra special; from poetry writing, to mailing each other gifts from far away. Although it is a long distance relationship, I feel as if I am not missing anything at all and feel more true love than I ever have in my life.
Thanks to Almighty God, and this website for Christians. I believe with all my heart that there will be many more months (and years) to come. Thank you!
