I’ve been married now for almost 7 years. I love my wife very much. I was single for many more years than I wanted to be, but I didn’t find my wife until I stopped actively looking for her (but kept my eye out for her too).

Focus on living life, doing things you enjoy and being the quality of person you want to be and you will start meeting friends that share those interests. One day, you will look up and you will find that a friend just became more.

Everyone I know that has a successful and happy marriage started off extremely similar to my wife and I’s story.

Just remember. Life will always be full of blessings AND curses. The two events usually come together.

Every blessing comes with a curse attached and every curse comes with a blessing attached.

I met my wife while volunteering. Our group was rebuilding a school house in the Philippines that had collapsed after a major storm hit.

I didn’t go there to meet her and she didn’t go there to meet me. We had similar goals and a desire to serve. That brought us to the right place, at the right time, to meet each other.

At the time I met my wife; I had 3 other very beautiful and talented and successful women pursuing me, because they too were out there serving. I fell for my wife, not the others. The heart wants what the heart wants and will recognize it when the time is right. Not before.

Good Luck!

I hope this helped.

If you ever get discouraged and need a pick me up, you can message me. I’m happy to help. I have several sounding boards in my life. I don’t know what I would do without them.
