How did you meet your spouse? Maybe this has been done but I thought it would be interesting and please, no one say, what is a spouse?

I met my wife at the North Carolina / Virginia regional convention and the first time I met her I felt she would be my wife. It took a year and then we started dating then got married :wink:
Best thing to ever happen to me :D

Met in camp. Finally after everyone so slightly suggesting that we go out (actually some had been screaming it for years) we did. After that the rest is history.

I am grateful for the most beautiful wife in the whole wide world.

We met online through a Pentecostal Singles discussion quite like this one.

We quickly became traditional penpals and exchanged phone numbers.

We were both members of the UPC at the time. I had my pastor look up her pastor in the national church directory and call him to verify that she was real.

Then I called her pastor, her dad, and one month after first meeting online I drove out to Texas from South Carolina.

That week I asked her Dad for her hand in marriage and 5 months later we were married.

9 years later it's still ALL GOOD! :lol:

I'll plagiarize Pastor Gary a little.


We met at Decatur High School in Decatur, Alabama in early August 1983 -- sorta high school sweethearts. Went on our very first date together (we don't count it as our first date, really, but we did) during Christmas break in that same year. Wow, I just realized we had our first date almost 25 years ago. Crazy, man, crazy.

I met him at church..his mom actually brought him over to see his former pastor (and meet me) while he was home on leave from the Navy. My pastor's wife was a real "match-maker". Since he was away most of the time, we only had about 10 dates in the 1-1/2 years before we got married. We wrote a LOT of letters, which I still have. I actually got to know him better through the letters than I ever would have in person. We have been married 37 years now! :D

how much is gas where you live?

When my wife was 10 and I was 16, I was her Sunday School at the church my dad pastored. Of course, she never cross my mind in a romantic way. But when I came back to that church to preach a revival, I was 22 and she was 16 . . .

She is the sister of my best friend. She had a crush on me long before I was interested. Then I was off to college doing my own thing and she no longer cared for me. It wasn't until I came home, sobered up, got plugged back in to church and changed my life that we eventually got together. Dated for about 2 years and now married for 17 years.

Wen and I met at Kroger. We both worked there during our high school years. She was dating a guy that pulled a stunt on a manager that almost got me fired. He blamed the stunt on me when I had absolutely nothing to do with it. Though I liked her from afar I almost had nothing to do with her from that day forward.

Our paths crossed many, many times as children. She lived next door to a church I attended but I didn't know her. She stayed with her grandmother in the summer as a child while I went to a friend's house daily that happened to live on the same road about 8 houses down yet we never met. We both played little league at the same ball park but never met even though her coach worked with my mom and we both were at her house at times. My granddad worked with her uncle, Fred Fisher's brother, and spoke of him often yet we never met. Her dad and my dad were electricians that had met in supply houses yet we had never met. Crazy huh?
