Discouraged by the state of dating later in life, we were both ready to give up the search for a spouse. Facebook dating had become the convenient location to sift through prospects, but always seemed to lead to major disappointment.

Before we met, we both had something in common. We had been praying for some time. But not just any prayer. We had been praying a lifetime prayer. A prayer for the person God specifically had for us. Little did we know, God was about to move and answer both of our prayers.

I (Sara) had been searching on Facebook dating for some time, but with no success. One night, exasperated, I was ready to give up that search. I felt I had to accept the fact that no good men were out there. I went to bed that evening very discouraged, ready to be perpetually single and delete my dating profile.

Unbeknownst to me, while I slept, it happened. John had recently rejoined Facebook dating and matched with me! The next morning, there it was - "You have matched with John", the notification said.

I was intrigued as there were several mutual friends between us. The next day, I was able to ascertain that my match was a quality prospect and a Christian. Could this be the answer to my prayer?

After establishing rapport via chat, we set up a meeting in person. We were both cautious but were willing to faithfully take a chance.

Our first meeting quickly turned into our first date. The first date turned into many, many more. Hundreds of selfies later, our love had grown and blossomed. Over this period of time, it had become apparent that God had answered the prayers of us both. He had brought us both together! A short engagement later, the wedding date was finally set.

We are delighted we met, fell in love, and have decided to marry. We are truly grateful for the family we will become. Most importantly, we are thankful to a loving, awesome God who has brought us together and faithfully answered our prayers.
