Hubby and I met at church, so that is what I voted. Of course, I originally found out about him and my interest in him sparked when I was workiing at the police dept. where his daddy was the chaplain. He kept trying to get me to marry Jesse and over a year later, we went out on our first date....it just took Jess some time to be convinced that he needed to marry me! LOL

I'm curious where you people have met your spouse at? I have been in a lot of <unsuccessful> relationships up to this point and now I'm starting to get this slow burning yearning to meet my eventual wife.
Laura and I met here on CF a few years ago.

DH and I met on christiancafe.com. (In fact if you search through the success stories, you can find us there.) And we lived just a few blocks from each other at the time.

But you know, I don't specifically recommend any particular venue to find your mate. It is good to keep your options open and try different things. If you don't mind weeding through the online dating experience (and trust me it's MAJOR weeding!), you can set up some accounts on the free sites (I never saw a need to pay for any of them). But God will lead you to your wife in His timing. He already knows exactly who He has planned for you.

Instead of focusing on "where" it's better to focus on "how". By that I mean, start really preparing yourself for marriage. Deeply consider what it means to be a husband and how you will fulfill your responsibilities as a man, as the spiritual leader of your future home, and as a companion to your future wife (and assuming you want kids, as a father to your future kids). Be open to God's working in your heart to prepare you for this incredible life-long responsibility, challenge, and privilege. When it is time, God will bring her into your life one way or another.

It's not about "getting the girl". It's about becoming the man God wants you to be. And yes, all this advice applies to you single gals out there too. :)

Work. I was in charge of inventories for the warehouse for the company I worked for (I was the company President's secretary, I think he thought he was rewarding me or something LOL)

Anyway, dh worked in said warehouse. The first time I was in charge, I stood up in the bay door area as they unloaded trucks, but he was on the ground with the truck. I caught him looking up my skirt. I thought he was a perv and a player, and he kept asking me out, and I kept saying no.

He wore me down ;) I went out with him, we had a great time, and I fell in love on the spot. Of course, I kept that part to myself and we continued with a normal courtship (he left the company cuz I made more there) and were married 18 months later.

For my hubby and I it was love at first "BITE"

we met at a church camp. He was playing softball and said I could sit in his chair. when he came back from running the bases, he told me to get out of the chair. I refused stating he said I could sit there. So he stuck his finger in my face and told me to get out again. In my family sticking your finger in somones face is considered a threat. My natural self-defensive action was to bite, and that is what I did. 4 hours later at the evening meeting he still had bite marks on his finger.

Some other stuff happened that week, and I ended up spending the last 1 1/2 days of camp with him. After I got home (I lived in ND, he in FL, the camp is in WI.) I figured I would never hear from him again. For some strange reason he kept calling me and we started dating in August, got engaged in November, and married in January. (It was middle of June when we had met.)

Now we joke around that next time I bite his finger we're going to have a kid. So when he sticks his finger in my face, I just simply tell him "we're not ready for kids yet."

So yeah, marry the first girl to bite your finger. lol!:p

hahahahhaha....this is toooooo funny!! I love stories like this! Thanks! you just made my night! :D :D :D

British Literature with crazy cat lady professor. He sat behind me and tried to stay hidden while he slept. Good ole college days. We met and liked each other but was too chicken to tell each other. He ended up dating one of my sorority sisters so i gave up. When they broke up I saw him and he looked so sad. So, I told one of the other sisters I was going to go flirt with him and make him feel better (she was fine and quite mean to him). Oh, yes, I know that i was a bit full of myself too, anyway. That flirting grew into a close friendship and then here we are two kids later.

I voted through family/friend since we grew up together. We were never more than acquaintances since he is almost 5 years older than me (I was 7, he 12), and didn't see each other for 5 years when I moved cross-country, but when I came back, we reunited, and being that I was the legal age of 18 at the time, we hit it off as more than just friends. :)
