Zone1 Did you meet your partner through faith?

[shockedcanadian]

It may limit my potential suitors but I am not built to be alone. Have any of you found your partner/husband/wife through religion?

It is difficult enough just trying to find a good person let alone one who firmly believes in G-d and/or follows a particular belief system.

My old lady keep calling God's name the first time we hung out.

She used to be an exotic dancer in San Diego.

No

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Heavens no. I met my second husband because he was my first husband's best friend.

Am I allowed to laugh at this? Oh and btw, I met my man at vocational school. So we were high school sweethearts and still together for over a decade.

I met James when he came to work for the sweat factory industrial laundry I worked at.

Our first date, we went to a kegger at our friend's house and bonded over beer

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we meet together each Sunday in groups called, "Wards". As a young single adult going to college in Utah I attended the wards that were set up by the church near the college. The church sets up wards that are strictly for single adults who are attending college and also who are single. This mean that almost everyone in the ward is single and you meet with large groups of singles for all kinds of activities and for Sunday services. I met my wife in a singles ward and have been together ever since. The church does this to give singles a better chance of not only meeting singles to date and hopefully eventually find a marriage partner but also to allow singles to meet other singles of their own faith.

Yep, We met with the mutual faith that we would get laid at some point at that age. LOL

Office. He walked in one day and his expression clearly stated, "I've heard all about you people and none of it has been any good." I couldn't resist such honesty.

surly the right person is more important than your religion for your motivation not to be alone or that is the reason presently and might give you some pause for finding true happiness ... a cross, bible or rosary in every room and i am not a christian.

 

[Unkotare]

We met through coffee.

I met my first wife at a bar. I met my second wife at a Bible camp. I met my third wife at a bar.

My second wife pretended to be a "Bible-only" Christian which is what I was looking for. After a couple of years of marriage, she decided to stray from the faith and joined a tradition-based religion called Eastern Orthodox. When she began to adorn our abode with idols, we parted company.

Church group ice cream and pool party. I met her and my first scorpion the same day.

I'm getting too old to search for love. Humans deserve freedom and love. We are regressing as a species.

Nope. I met him when we worked together on a small town West Texas newspaper. Met in June. First date in July. Engaged in September. Married in February. All in the same year. That was quite a few decades ago and we are still in love.

But our mutually shared faith was and has been very important to both of us and has been critical in helping us get through some difficult times.

Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw, but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well will be the one

Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done

Well, only the good die young
That's what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young

You mighta heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw, but that never hurt no one

So come on, Virginia, show me a sign
Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never let's in the sun

Darlin', only the good die young
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
I tell ya only the good die young
Only the good die young

~S~with all due respect for Mr Joel

My wife's first hubby was a dr.--she said all he wanted to do was examine it. Her second hubby was a lawyer--all he wanted to do was talk about it. Then she met me, I'm a mechanic. I tore it up the first night and I've been working on it ever since. LOL

 

[Anathema]

No. In fact the only two relationships I ever had that started through the church turned into two of the most disastrous and disappointing relationships of my life.
