Success Stories

We are blessed beyond our prayers...

Sonjia and I met using your website. We are blessed beyond our prayers to meet someone that shared our same spiritual commitment to the Lord. We weren't made for each other....we were meant for each other. She is (and he is) truly the love of my life. We have committed our relationship and our lives to the Lord in hopes of helping others find the fulfillment and satisfaction that we have found in a Christ-centered marriage.

P.S. Thank you for this wonderful website and what it has done for us. You are truly an instrument of God for single people searching for others who seek God's will for their lives.

I have found the love of my life.

Thanks for the service! Emily (aka biscuit86) and I have been happily dating for 8 months. We plan to get married next May. I've spent thousands of dollars over the years dating girls that ultimately became of nothing. I never thought that $29.99 would be all it took for me to find the love of my life.

Thanks again,

Casey

It was like we already knew each other.

We were both new to ChristianMingle and weren't real sure about it. He showed up on my page as a match, so I looked at his profile. I liked what I saw and a few days later I noticed that he had looked at mine. That went on for a while and then we started sending 'smiles' to each other. Neither one of us had paid for the service so we couldn't send emails or IM's. Finally, with no other way to talk to him, I paid for a subscription to the service. I sent him an email and didn't hear from him for a while. He finally got curious about what I had wrote since he couldn't read it, so he paid for the subscription too. He emailed me back and that led to IM's. A week or two later, we talked on the phone for the first time. I called him because I was nervous about giving out my number. About a week or so later, we decided to meet and eat dinner. We met and had fun. Since we had already talked so much on the phone, it was like we already knew each other. We enjoyed dinner and then neither of us wanted to leave so we went to Starbucks and had some coffee. We talked a while and then we still didn't want to leave, so off to Chuck-E-Cheese's. We played like kids for a while and then went back to where I left my car. We sat in his truck for a long time and just talked. Neither of us wanted the night to end.

WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED: February 21, 2008 - HOW IT HAPPENED: Well, let me first tell you a little about some of the things that we have done or that he does for me. On our third date we went fishing (I wanted to learn), then we ate and then went to look at the stars. We both love to look at stars, they are so amazing. He is also always bringing me cards with letters written in them, but he always finds a way to add a 'yes or no' question at the end of them. For example, on Valentine's Day, at the end of the card it said, "Will you let me love you forever? Check yes or no" and then there are always two boxes to check either answer. So on to the proposal...We went out to eat and had dinner and then went to the Planetarium to watch the show about the stars. The show ended and I went to get up and he stopped me and told me to wait. Having no idea what we were doing, I just sat there. So we sat there until all of the other people left. He then stood up and handed me a card. He handed it to me and let me look at the front of it, then he opened it up and only let me see the inside of the left side of it. I read it and then he told me I could turn to the other side. The card said that we had closed certain chapters in our lives and that he was ready to open a new chapter. Then I looked down at the bottom of the card and it said, "Will you marry me?" and there were two boxes, Yes and No. As I read it, he had gotten down on his knee and he asked me to marry him. And of course, I said yes!!! We are getting married on October 18, 2008 and we are both so excited. Thanks so much ChristianMingle.

Our advice: Just pay for the service and let God bring your match to you!

We both prayed for each other...

Charles and I first met online on March 19th when Charles sent an email commenting on my profile. After reading his profile, I responded immediately. What caught my attention was how expressive Charles was in his writing, compared to other profiles I had read. I was able to get a clear, well-rounded picture of the type of man he was: his character, interests, hopes and dreams. And, as Charles said in one of his first emails to me, likewise, I could sense the sincerity in his wording. As the initial "smiles" turned into longer, more detailed emails to each other, we found out that we both possessed many of the qualities that we expressed in our profiles that were important to each other. Charles told me about his background, accomplishments, and his intentions concerning us. Within a few days, we knew this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, which would be developed with patience and prayer. Less than a week later, right after a glorious Easter Sunday, we decided to take it one step further and chat online. This opened up another layer for both of us as we talked about our children and found out that we both have a son about the same age. Charles had already sent me his contact information to use when I felt comfortable, but it took me a while to get use to the idea that I might actually have met someone who was compatible with me on so many levels, so I didn't call him right away. But, when I finally accepted what God was doing and got the courage to call, there was a certain feeling of peace in hearing his voice. We were able to get to know each other on a deeper level with each conversation. It wasn't until April 11th that we finally met. We both agreed after the first meeting that we wanted to see each other again. So Charles planned an evening together where we could share some of our common interests, theater and dining. Charles lives in Delaware and I live in Pennsylvania, almost two hours away with the traffic, so arranging dates could present a challenge. However, this was only the beginning of many beautiful times together in which we both sensed God's hand in every meeting. I am so glad I took the limits off God in deciding how far I would be willing to travel for the right man!

One of the things that we found out about each other is that we both prayed for each other; and we both went through similar experiences in our previous marriages that prepared us for each other. One of the things Charles said in his profile was that he was seeking a woman who is at a point in her life where she desires to receive "true" love from a man that God has placed in her life. When I read this, my heart leaped and I cried out, "I am that woman." I could tell that he, like me, had much love to give, but had not yet found a mate with the capacity to receive it. Yes, I prayed for a man like Charles, but even in my prayers I did not ask for some of the things that I see in him. God knows me so well and loves me so much that he filled in the gaps in my prayers and gave me what he knew I needed. Yes, "God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Ephesians 3:20

On August 10th, just a few days after sitting down to write this success story, Charles proposed to me, and of course, I said, "yes."

Through him, I found what I truly wanted in a relationship.

I want to say that I signed up for ChristianMingle approximately three weeks ago after just getting out of a long-term relationship shortly before that. I signed up because I could seriously say that at that time, I had no idea what I wanted from someone as far as a relationship goes. All I knew is that I by no means wanted what I had previously gone through.

I signed up with literally no hopes and no expectation of meeting anyone. I'm sure most of us who have success on here say that. :) Anyways, I want to say that I was browsing profiles for only a short while before I found Brian. I sent him a smile, with again, no hopes of a response. I had sent a few before that with no response and didn't expect anything different from him. I sent him that smile though, I must say, with just a little hope of a return response, because after just viewing his profile, I knew that he was the type of man I wanted in my life.

A few hours later, I received one back from him and I immediately responded. We did this a few times before he finally sent me an email. I wasn't a subscriber at the time, but was dying to know what he had said, so I instantly subscribed for just one month .

We began talking that night through IM and we talked every night after that for two weeks. We talked about everything and the more we talked, the more anxious I became to meet him and the more he grew on me. On our third week, we began talking on the phone and planned our first meet for that Friday. I was excited to meet him, yet apprehensive because I had never tried online dating before.

I can speak honestly when I say that I never believed in love at first sight until I saw him that evening. I never thought that concept actually existed and that people who have said they have felt it, were more than likely experiencing lust. In that moment though, before I even said hello, I could feel that something would become of us.

We had dinner that night with two of my friends and on Sunday he met my parents! :) We joke around about how much I slammed him with that weekend, but he always remarked that I was worth it. We had also gone for a walk along the river on our first date and talked like we always had. It was like we had already known each other for years. We made it official that night and I've seen him almost every night since then.

He's a wonderful "partner in crime" and we even discussed taking things long term. I consider him my best friend. Through him, I found what I truly wanted in a relationship. He's everything and more that God had planned for me. I am eternally grateful to have found him and I plan on keeping him for awhile. :) I'm more than excited to see what God has in store for us. I will be praying for nothing less than great and indescribable.

**Thank you for giving me my breath back and for helping me to see that this is where I want to stand, where I want to be. And that is right here with you!**
