Topic: Met my Future Husband on the Internet
Source: http://www.cyberlove101.com/story51.htm
On July 21, 1999 I met my future husband on the internet. I had been recovering from divorce and believed with all my heart that there had to be a soul mate out there just for me. I've heard stories about people who met someone and "just knew" that they were the one, but I never dreamed that I would actually get to experience it.
That day I was surfing around. I decided on a whim to look through some personal ads. That was something I didn't normally do, but thought "what the heck". I answered several ads that day, just for fun. One ad caught my attention. It said "looking for good Christian woman". I thought that was nice because a lot of the ads were looking for things that weren't so good.
I answered Jean's ad, and within an hour he had written back. We started chatting and then he asked me for my phone number. Normally, I would have never given that out so soon but something said to me that it was okay. He called and we talked for 5 hours straight. I knew that he was something special and I had to meet him.
He lived about 3 hours away, and the very next day I drove to his apartment. This was something else that I wouldn't have done normally. We hit it off, and have been together ever since.
He has totally swept me off my feet and is truly my soul mate. We are now married and are raising our children together. He has 2 boys and I have 2 boys and 1 daughter. This past September, we affirmed our love even more by welcoming a precious baby girl into the world. Baby makes 6!!
Life is good. People often say that they would never meet someone off the internet. You do have to be careful, but it is possible to find exactly what you're looking for. I'm thankful every day for answering that ad and taking a chance!!
