Christine and I met through ChristianCafe.com in February 2006. We married in June same year. We have been very happily married now for 2 years 5 months.

John & Christine, married

We met on ChristianCafe.com in March of 2007 and then met in person in August of the same year. When we started writing to each other we did not get into many details but simply asked each other basic questions to get to know each other. After communicating for 3+ months, we decided to meet in person (in Aug 2007). Since we were 8 hours apart in driving distance I choose to visit Geneviève. We spent a Sunday afternoon and evening together. We both realized that we had a strong intellectual chemistry. We kept emailing each other and then soon started using MSN and the webcam. We met again just over a month after and went to a concert together. We spent two days together.
Even though we still didn't connect at a romantic level I was interested in pursuing Geneviève. I knew that she was still a bit unsure about being in a relationship with me but before we parted I took the courage to kiss Genevieve. We met again in three weeks and made it official! I proposed in late March of this year (2008). The rest is history. We are now happily married and look forward to a long life together.

Acknowledgment from Geneviève:
When I read Gerhard's first message to me and then his profile, I knew already that we had some interests in common. I started corresponding with him but not in an intense way; just a few letters a month. I was looking for a man living closer to Québec city. Brampton seemed too far away for me. I was not sure about the effectiveness of a long distance relationship. He offered to come visit me in Québec city. I was a bit reluctant but I accepted thinking of it as an opportunity to get to know him better. No, I did not feel a physical chemistry between us but I sure felt a strong spiritual and intellectual connection! It was so easy to talk to him and I did not feel judged because of my divorced status. From our first date, it took me a while before I was ready to make it official between us. I was not feeling a romantic chemistry but I could see that we were relating on many areas. His personality was definitely the kind I was looking for. Considering the distance between us (8 hours), it was a step of faith for me but I knew I was doing the right thing. From that day on, our relationship kept on growing stronger and so did the romantic feelings. I was discovering so many wonderful things about him and I still do! We are now happily living in Brampton. I am starting a new life and I am very excited about it! It's way better than what I was expecting!

Gerhard and Geneviève, married

I just wanted to send a note of encouragement to those of you wondering if being on this website is worth the time, effort or money. Almost 1 year ago (January 2008) I was invited back to try the site again. I had ended a 10 month long previous relationship with someone that I had met on ChristianCafe.com almost a year before, in February 2007. I returned to the site, did a search for someone of the same faith (Reformed Presbyterian) and location (Florida) and a few matches of interest came back. I emailed a short note to several and didn't give it much further thought. A couple days later I got a very interested response from one of those that I emailed. Even though we had never met... we only lived 17 miles apart and had attended the same church at different times. I was nonetheless intrigued and wondered at the possibility in considering if this was from the LORD or just my imagination/wishful thinking. Even though he didn't have the benefit of seeing my photo I could see his big smile and big heart from the words in his profile. Immediately, He asked "who are you?"..."Do I know you?".
The first night that we spoke on the phone there was an immediate connection and comfort in recognizing the many similarities in our backgrounds and life experiences. We agreed to meet to verify if there was a possibility of a mutual interest in pursuing a friendship. After meeting and acknowledging our mutual interest in getting to know one another I told him I would only agree to go out on a date with him after talking to a personal reference who knew him for some length of time. We discovered that his Bible Study leader and church Elder was a mutual friend and after discussing with him whether he could give a good commendation about my new match from ChristianCafe.com we went out on our first date. It was obvious from the start that GOD had indeed answered both of our mutual prayers about waiting on the LORD to bring that special match into our lives. He proposed 2 weeks later on Valentine's Day and we were married 2 months later, the day before Easter 2008 on the beach at sunrise. We have been married for over 8 months and each day, week and month our marriage is stronger than the day before. Our favorite verse in the Bible is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We are both thankful that GOD is not limited by time or distance or method in how HE brings about HIS purposes and plans for our lives and how HE used ChristianCafe.com to bring us together this year. THANKS CHRISTIANCAFE !!!!

I just wanted to thank you all for being so gracious to me. ChristianCafe.com truly is a Christian site. A lot of the web sites say they are but later we find out different. I felt safe and comfortable using your site. I thank you so much for being wonderful people. I will definitely tell everyone I know about your ChristianCafe.com. You definitely live up to your name.

I would like to ensure that my profile is removed as I have met the man of my dreams.

I must say I really appreciate the overall attitude and policies of this site. I was particularly impressed with the inclusion of the option 'Wherever God leads.'

Don and I met through ChristianCafe.com in July of this year. Both of us were widowed, losing our spouses to cancer. Each of us initially was looking for a friendship and has found a spouse! We were married on Thanksgiving Day! We are so happy and thankful we found each other. God has blessed us abundantly! Thank you for your committed service to Christian values through your website.
