yes I do believe that we were brought together by God, not that either of us lived a Christian life when we got together in fact even though we both believed in God and Jesus we were not a Christian couple. We gave into every hedonistic pleasure we dared to when we could stand to be around each other that is. We fought with each other consently!!! by the time we were married for 13 years we were nearly through,very close to a divorce because of our abuse to one another and our clashing personalities. But then I became born again in 1996 and at first it did not seem like anything was going to change, except in my heart I loved him even though we were the source of each others pain, I wanted our relationship to make it and so I prayed that God would some how fix it all. He didn't change it over night but he did start changing it by changing me through his word. I gave myself to Jesus Christ fully and he began to change my heart and I began to want things I never wanted and I began to understand what a Godly woman is and I began to change the way I treated my husband. I gave him the place deserving of a man of God even though he was not yet a Chriatian, he was still partying all the time and trying to get fights started with me, but I loved him through it and never fought back, instead of the cussing and yelling I use to do I reached out and loved him I began to treat him like I would have treated Jesus himself, rubbing his feet, cooking meals (something I had stopped doing years before) I was so amased at how much God had changed me ( I still am ) So my husband began changing too, little by little... here we are almost 11 years later and neither one of us are the same. I have to share this funny but rather cool story too, almost 6 years ago ( this month , not sure of the date) I found out that we were never legally married, the minister at the church we got married at (we were not members) did not turn in our marriage license, and so after 18 years of thinking we were married we found out we were not, and there is no common law in my state (Missouri) so we got married in December of 2001. It was so cool, but the best part is we are both Christians now and our relationship is great, something of a miracle if you ask either of us because we were at a love / hate point in our relationship, we loved to hate each other and we hated to love each other. God still works miracles. Praise be to our Lord.

I dont believe God, persay, brought us together.
However I do believe it was meant to be, we would have found each other eventually.
We met at work. I was a supervisor and we started chatting one day when I had gotten some bad news about my mom. It grew from there but stayed in the iffy category for a while due to our work situation.
The "meant to be" part is that I wasnt supposed to be anywhere near his section of the store. I was hired to do something completely different and in a completely different area. Then by some weird twists and turns I ended up in his section.
We finally started dating and have been together almost 5 yrs and married for 4. We have 2 beautiful sons with another son on the way. We know this is where we are meant to be and who we are meant to be with and we hold that very close to our hearts and souls.

i was married when i was 18... we were together for 19years...it was sex drugs , more drugs...and rock and roll...and oh yeah more drugs and beer and beer. we ended up hating each other and went our separate ways....
i went through depression and drugs and discovered cocaine and crack and whiskey.... and then started for no apparent reason reading a bible from the Gideons little by little....then i met Barb, we hit it off and she to started reading the bible at that time and was drinking to much...well as time went on the drugs slowed down , the drinks slowed down ...then for both of us at the same time due to inspiration from the Holy Spirit we started church and bible study ...then the drugs and drinks stopped and i became more and more at peace and the same happened to my new wife ...to date we don't do drugs, we don't drink in fact after 33 years of smoking i quit cold turkey 11 months ago and will never do that again either... we love God and each other very much and hope everyone gets the chance to experience what we were lucky enough to ....God bless everyone ...everywhere.

When we met 24 years ago we both knew right then that we were meant to be together forever. We have been together since then and will continue together til death do us part

yes ii do believe that he brought us togather, because we were sinners till we got togather. and then we were born again. and we have a singing ministery for him. it is a talent that god has given us. beacuse we neither one could if it had not been for him.
