At Kutztown University, Nate and Jackie became friends through "Kutztown Christian Fellowship". They got to know each other better through their shared nutrition elective and their friendship blossomed through study sessions and hang outs with their friends. Towards the end of the second semester, they started intentionally hanging out one on one. Their interest for each other became apparent as they discovered more about each others personalities and mutual love for Jesus. Jackie recommended a podcast that talked about dating for the goal of marriage. After meeting up to talk about what they learned, Nate used this as an opportunity to confess his feelings for Jackie and asked her to be his girlfriend. Throughout their relationship, they learned more and more how to love one another like Jesus first loved them and they cannot wait to continue their journey in marriage!
