My dear wife Violeta and I want to write and thank ChristianCafe.com for helping us to meet. We have been married six months now and are so thankful to be together. Here is how we met. As an American missionary living in the very secular city of Prague, Czech Republic, I found it challenging to meet Christian singles. Violeta, a Bulgarian national, found a similar difficulty in Sofia, Bulgaria. We both decided to try to meet someone special on-line, and ChristianCafe.com was, to both of us, the obvious best choice.
In October of 2006, I sent a wink to Violeta. She responded, and we soon began an amazing email correspondence. We met for the first time in March of 2007, in Sofia. Several trips to Bulgaria later (for me), a trip to Prague and a trip to America later (for her), we became engaged. On January 5th, 2008, we were married in Sofia.
Compressed in that short paragraph were hundreds of emails, hours of Internet-telephone, seemingly days of chats, and travel and time spent over thousands of miles. It also includes a friendship and a romance that grew and blossomed into something that was even more than we asked for. We now live in the US, where I teach college and Violeta plans to continue her studies, and are planning our future there. We are deeply thankful to God for his graciousness to us. He is the true source of everything good. But, in a secondary but still important way, we also want to thank the Christian Cafe. One wink and a response led to so much.
We are writing this to encourage Christian singles, especially those who are having difficulty meeting appropriate dating partners. The single period of life can be very fruitful, but also very painful. Still, we both believe (and did so believe even before we met) that God has a purpose for everyone's life and that hope should not be lost.

Married since Dec. 2001 Thanks to ChristianCafe.com, my husband and I found each other in July of 2001 and were married in December of that year. We now have 2 beautiful children. It has a glorious experience full of God's blessings. I was new to the online dating scene. In fact, ChristianCafe.com was the only place I felt safe. It is possible to find quality Christians on your site that are true to their faith. God bless you!

My daughter recently married someone she met on ChristianCafe.com. She was a 34 year old single living in NYC and he a 39 year old in Missouri. After 6 months, she flew out to meet him. Eventually, 11/2 years later, they are now happily wed.

Sean and Sue sincerely thank ChristianCafe.com for bringing us together!!!! Where to begin! June 10th, 2008....a Heavenly Wink changed our lives beyond what either one of us could have ever dreamed possible. On that day, we both met our Soulmate. We thank God for blessing us with each other and ChristianCafe.com for allowing us to truly get to know each other from the inside out before meeting. It made meeting the first time much easier, more like a reunion - it's so hard to put into mere words.
Sean:
The day I sent a wink to Susie my whole world began to change. To think that one little wink would lead us to finding a love that could only have been created, and sent by God, is a blessing that neither one of us could have ever imagined, we are so grateful. To find a heart and a soul that mirrors your own is an experince that that we cherish and thank The Lord for every day. My love for Susie brings joy to my heart like I never known. Her face radiates the love that God has placed into her beautiful heart, a love that lights my every day with an unwavering kindness and compassion. I truly thank God and ChristianCafe.com for the gift of love that has blessed my life.
Sue:
Sean and I find ourselves tapping out the same sentiments on emails, saying the same things via phone at the same time; it is truly our God who brought us together. My prayer has been for quite some time that if the Lord wanted me to live the remainder of my days alone to please take the yearning of a companion away, but if He would grant me my prayer of a mate please let that mate find me! Wow! What an awesome blessing beyond what I've pleaded for. I've been found by my soulmate and I know it was by God's devine Hand...via ChristianCafe.com! So for all those who are searching, remember (which is hard to do I admit): it's in God's timing not ours! I thank God daily for Sean, who's brought me more happiness/joy/love. I've never ever been so secure about a relationship - to be with a true born again Christian man who has such a loving/caring/compassionate heart, like I've never known. I am truly blessed!
