Me and and my husband met online through a dating site. We enjoyed talking each other things about GOD, life and struggles. After few times of enjoying chatting we fell inlove to each other. He visited me in Philippines last August 25, 2010 and stayed until September 5, 2010. He proposed personally. He is so sweet and know how to respect woman. He has a great faith in GOD. He had been in so much downfall in life, that only GOD can really make him get through. I love him because I love him. Although our journey didn't happen to be what we want, but GOD made it happen to us in HIS ways. He made things possible for both us. We are happy to be a family.
