I never imagined that I would meet my husband. Online dating can be depressing. I signed up for a 3 month membership in December of 2012 only as a way to try out some of the dating tips I had learned in the Bible study I was leading.
I emailed about 3 guys a night in order increase my chances for meeting someone. Even though I met some nice Christian men, after a while I became discouraged because deep down I really wanted to meet "Mr. Right" and these guys weren't him. Being 38 and still single, I was ready to get married.
Two weeks before my membership was about to expire I received an email from Tracy. The email was thoughtful and he expressed what he was looking for. I could tell he had read my profile and was truly interested in getting to know me. Having my mom and best friend give their approval after viewing his picture helped, too.
After a couple of emails we decided that since we didn't live too far away from each other it would be a good idea to meet. He asked me out on Valentine's Day for that Friday. We met and it was not love at first sight for me. I was much more apprehensive.
He respectfully continued to pursue me and let me know I was worth pursing. Once I realized that it was fear that was keeping me from falling for Tracy, my heart melted. We decided to go the marriage perspectives class at our church to make sure that we were not just being overly emotional, but that we really were compatible.
When we went for our marriage counseling our pastor said, "It's nice to finally meet Ken and Barbie in person." It was the confirmation we needed to know that we truly were compatible.
We were married on July 6, 2013 and have been sharing our story with people ever since. People love hearing that we met online; it gives them hope that it can happen for them too. We are very happy and grateful to the Lord (and ChristianCafe.com) for bringing us together.
Thank you for being a vehicle for people who would normally never have had the opportunity to meet. God used ChristianCafe.com to bring two hearts together that love the Lord and now get to share in this journey of life.

We knew right away that God had brought us together and on the 17th of August this year we got married in Inverkeithing Baptist Church. We had a wonderful time indeed.
God bless everyone who runs this site. We both thank you for having this site available for Christians to meet and get to know each other. God bless you for your hard work in keeping this site open and helping others find their partner.
Christopher-chipper873 {Scotland} & Grace-celine263 {Scotland} October 2013I met Mark in August 2008. He was in Perth, Australia and I was in Jakarta, Indonesia. And we began communication in Dec 2008.
He came to visit me in May 2009 for about 7 days and he asked me if I would visit his country. Then he bought a plane ticket for me on October 2009 to visit him and then asked me to marry him.
We got married on 13 Nov 2010. We had a wonderful wedding with friends and family. And now we live in Perth and have a happy life. Thanks to God and ChristianCafe.com for everything.
Reni-butterfly7233 {Indonesia} & Mark-markspivey283 {Australia} October 2013Aaron: After 4 years of praying for God's guidance in finding the woman I'm to spend the rest of my life with, I felt led by the Lord to give this site a try.
I was totally against all the other social medias and dating sites that were so popular with the secular crowd (I never heard, nor was aware that ChristianCafe.com even existed). But through prayer, and faith, I was introduced to ChristianCafe.com by a co-worker.
I joined, and believe it or not, it wasn't but a couple of days that I met Rhowie. Through God's grace, I met the woman of my dreams. The Lord is good.
Rhowie: I had just ended a long relationship of 10 years, and I never expected to meet anyone. I felt that the Lord had the right man for me, but I didn't see anything happening in the near future. But I too was praying, and keeping my faith in the Lord that the Lord would bring the right man into my life.
One day, I was on the Internet, and I received a free membership to ChristianCafe.com. When I saw the free membership, I didn't realize what the site was. I thought it was like a forum, or a place to have prayer partners... I didn't know that it was a site for men and women to meet online. But after 4 days of joining I met Aaron.
We started out becoming good friends, but thanks to the Lord, we progressed more and more until we both fell in love.
Aaron: So thanks to the Lord, and through ChristianCafe.com, both Rhowie and I are not only in love with each other, but we are now married!!!! Praise the Lord!!
Thanks ChristianCafe.com for the wonderful experience. We both are very thankful. We both strongly recommend ChristianCafe.com to anyone seriously looking to find love. Keep your faith in the Lord and He will lead you straight.
Aaron-donnybro225 {Ontario} & Rhowie-marhow298 {Singapore} October 2013I recommended friends and family to try this site too. It's been nice getting to know each other, even meeting my fiance who is based in South Africa; I am in the Netherlands.
We are talking about marriage even though this site was quite a test of our trust for each other.
Anne-elle654 {Netherlands} & Peter {South Africa} October 2013The forums really are a good way to safely interact with folks.
