I mean, when you met, did you just know this was the person you were to be with? How did you meet? and why do you think God was invovled?

That would contradict free will.

God, Fate, some kind of connection or magnetism, i don't know, but i believe that something did. I was always an outcast, never had many friends, never had a boyfriend, i finally had my first relationship at 21 and it ended in a heartbreak, so i reached the point where i honestly believed that no one could ever love me and just gave up for 5 years. But then Halloween before last when i was giving out candy with my mom and my neighbors, this guy across the street came over to talk to us and we got into a conversation and just hit it off instantly. And it was weird because i've known him off and on for about 10 years and used to have a bit of a crush on him, but never really talked to him (in the meantime, he's also had his fair share of heartbreaks; one resulting in pretty much having his child taken away from him, and had given up on love himself for 2 years), but the first time we spoke, it was like we "knew" that we were meant to be together, it was really "Love at first sight". He finally got the guts to officially ask me out that Thanksgiving (the first time i've ever been asked out in my LIFE) and we've been together ever since and don't know where we'd be without each other. Sometimes we feel like we're the only ones who can understand each other and we share a bond that most can never comprehend, like we just "get" each other. We're so much alike and understand each other so well that it would be hard to belive that we were NOT meant to be together.

Hoooo boy. I do not even recognize where to begin. If you happen to suppose he is not the proper individual for you, then with the aid of all manner, don't marry him. When you can not handle a breakup (which is how most relationships finally finish up), then you aren't able to date / be engaged, let on my own be married. God has just about nothing to do with it. It can be extra a matter of discovering a partner who "fits" with you (and you'll just understand it, when you meet this individual). Be patient, and preserve your eyes open. Meet more people. Get extra experience with courting the reverse sex (as a minimum 30 guys, or so). Then, and *simplest* then, which you can recall some thing severe with one of them. There are a lot of married men and women who are flawlessly miserable, in divorce courtroom, and fighting over who has the children which weekend, and for a way lengthy, and the way he is a scumbag for this and she or he's a witch for doing that, and many others. Please, please, PLEASE do not join their ranks.

Actually, I was still married to my first husband, basically just treading water in that relationship. I met my current husband as a fellow pizza delivery person and we became best friends. His marriage was much rockier, and out the door faster than mine.
We were each other's support during our divorces, and eventually got romantic.
there was no realization that we were meant for each other, but it worked out that way.
I think pizza brought us together - though I understand for some people, pizza is a god.

No, Cindy, the many gods played no part in bringing either my first wife (who passed away in '03) or my second wife and me together. In both instances, the choices were between them and me. I suspect that the Christian god was just too doggoned busy looking after his creation of trillions of galaxies (our Milky Way is one) and, in each of which, trillions upon trillions of stars (our middlign sun is one). Kind of regrettable--at 18, when I met and fell head-over-heels for a red-headed California girl, I needed all the help I could get. Oh, well, the planet hasn't stopped spinning because of my teenager's idea of a happy marriage.

I don't believe in God, so no. We brought ourselves together. We met through a mutual friend at a Halloween party on a military school campus. As luck would have it, we were, and still are, both atheists. Two awesome kids later, 16 years of marriage, and still going strong.

Every boyfriend, husband I chose myself. I did not wait for God. None of them turned out very good. They were all abusive. Now, I am patient and if someone comes along that is fine, if not I am fine with that also. I am in the hands of God and His plan for my life.

Absolutely. It's a mighty long story, but the gist is that we both know, knew from the start, that God had chosen us for each other.
And this is no contradiction of free will because we both could have said no to the match. We just recognized that it was in our interests to say yes.

I met my husband when I was 16, at a Air Force Base my mom and dad went to square dance. I told my mom I was going to marry him, and she said no I wasn't 28 years ago.
