Sarah and Michael: ''We were able to laugh and cry together''

How did you meet? What was your first date like? Give us all the details!

After seeing a commercial for Christian Mingle one Sunday afternoon, I felt like something (or someone) was encouraging me to try my hand at dating again. I decided then, to reach out to God and say “ok Lord, I will try this for one month and see where it goes.”

One week before my membership was due to expire, Michael introduced himself to me. Somehow, I knew things were going to be different for me from that moment on. After connecting on line, we exchanged phone numbers. It wasn’t long after that, we began to have long conversations on the phone lasting well into the night. After getting to know one another better, sharing stories and life experiences, we decided to meet in person. Our first date was over lunch, where we had good food and even better conversation.

Describe the moment you knew it was true love!

From the beginning, there was always a sense that we felt like we had known each other for much longer than we actually had. The ease of our conversations and being able to open up to one another, came naturally to us. We were able to laugh and cry together, discussing our dreams and fears.

We both had never felt such a strong connection before. But we also knew that there was something more at work going on to bring us together. Call it fate or destiny, but for me it has always felt like God’s plan for me was taking place, right in front of me. After 4 wonderful years of dating, Michael asked me to be his wife, at the place where we first met each other all those years ago.

Of course I said “yes!” and we are excited to spend the rest of our lives together. Thank you Christian Mingle, for being the platform that brought us together!

What advice would you give other Christian Mingle members?

Have faith and patience! Trust that there is that one person who is made for you, and you will find them. Even when it seems like love may never happen for you, don’t give up! Sometimes things will happen when you least expect it.
