Patrick and Venus; Unexpected Love

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. – Barbara de Angelis

It was an unexpected love that became possible with the help of a loving sister and CF.

It was an unexpected love that became possible with the help of a loving sister and CF.

Patrick and Venus’s story was an unexpected love that became a reality through Chrisitan Filipina and Marife, Venus’s younger sister. Both of them were so excited to share how they found each other that they did not notice that they were on the phone with us for almost an hour. Patrick was talking about it like everything happened yesterday.

I joined CF by accident and googling, playing aroung, I like the christian name on it.

I was searching for a quality site that I can trust where I could meet sincere people. I found Christian Filipina, I joined and I met my wife here.

Patrick joined CF in April, 2010. He felt lucky to have met Venus through his sister-in-law, Marife, who was his long term online friend. “There was no spark between us, so I was not surprised when she eventually got back with her boyfriend and I was introduced to Venus who was also a CF member”. He sounded excited as he recalled how Marife introduced him to his future wife. “Venus is amazing, I was interested to get to know her well and she just makes me happy”.

He’s from Canada, 32, divorced with a son when he found out about Venus. He knew that Marife had an older sister who was still single so he dared to ask if it was okay to be introduced to her. Patrick was serious about finding his true love and God has his way to bless those who keep their faith strong.

I'm a single lady ,looking for a responsible man and love me for who I am. I like to cook Filipino food.

Venus was also 32 at the time although she was not very active at CF. She joined in June of 2010 and she initially sought to meet men at their 40s. God knew what was best for her and through her sister she met Patrick. She recalls how Marife asked her if she was interested to meet her CF online friend and she was giggling as she recalls seeing Patrick’s picture. “No problem, look at his picture, he’s so good looking!”, that’s how she reacted to her sister. She was not in a hurry, she made sure that it felt right before she jumped into a relationship with Patrick. “He wrote me letters, I received 3 handwritten letters in the mail every month plus the daily emails he sent me”.

3 months of constant communication and they were ready to take the next level. In the summer of 2011 , Patrick flew to meet Venus and her family in Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental. He knew right away when he saw her that God granted his prayers. They were together for 2 weeks and talked about their life in the future. With five days left on his vacation, he asked Venus and her father for her hand in marriage; they agreed and everyone was happy.

“I took her to the jewelry store and told her to choose which ring she liked. It was one of the happiest moments of our lives”. The next day he had to leave her, but he promised that he would be back in 8 months for their wedding. Patrick sent her money each month for the wedding preparation. “It was a big wedding, more than 150 attended and there was “litson”, he said, giggling while he was explained about the entire roast pig.

 

They were married in the Philippines and now lives together in Canada.

They were married in the Philippines in Dec. 2, 2011 . In Feb. of 2013, Venus got her visa. The are now together in Canada.

Venus arrived in Canada in February 2013, after 15 months of waiting. They are so in love with each other that they were able to work around their differences in their denomination. Patrick is a Baptist and Venus is a Catholic but they said, “We decided to respect each others faith and belief.” They came up with a mutual decision to spend a year taking turns each week either to attend a Catholic mass or Baptist Sunday service.

Before we ended our conversation, Patrick added an interesting detail about their relationship, he said, “there are moments when she’s on the phone, talking to her family, that I don’t have any clue what she’s telling them. Then she looks at me with a smile and I know that she is happy and I am too”.

 

Jon and Maricel; Blessed with Love

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the FATHER except through me! I am the Way that leads to the Father. The Truth that teaches the knowledge of God, and directs in the way. The Life that animates all those who seek and serve him, and which is to be enjoyed eternally at the end of the way. – JOHN 14:6

Jon and Maricel finally met each other in the Philippines and will get married in June 2013

 

Jon visited Maricel in the Philippines and all he can kept telling himself, "The world's most beautiful women belong to me."

 

God finally blessed me with a man who will marry me. - Mars

Thank you Christian Filipina Site for being a part of our love story.  We both had prayed to God to help lead us from our loneliness and to help us find the soulmate you had been preparing for us.   We both believed that when you call God He is there listening, and His miracles work to those people who believe in HIM!  And it happened.  Jon found Christian Filipina, and Maricel found Christian Filipina, and now we have found each other.

We do both believe the site is blessed by God and we do pray that your administration continues to share the Word of God and at the same time the bridge to spread Love all over the world in a righteous way. And we, Jon and Mars will continue to be a good example from many, as who was lost before and now have found!

We both prayed about God's leadership, and we know his wealth blessing, to have been brought together to live in one.

Jon and Maricel finally met each other in the Philippines and will get married in July 2013

JON and MARS will share and continue to spread the Word of God in many ways, from this moment on, now and forever. They are engaged to be married in July 2013.

Sam and Chris; Living the Dream

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever. ― Nicholas Sparks

Sam and Chris living their dream.

Sam and Chris prayed for love and unexpectedly fell in love with each other and defied distance.

Getting married to a man she loves was Chris’s dream. She had always prayed for a loving husband and a responsible one. Chris saw herself as a true Filipina: she has values and she knows what she wants in her life. At only 23 she was in no hurry to get married soon but open to it should she be so blessed.

Chris in her red dress in her profile photo she added on Christian Filipina.

Chris was 23 when she joined CF. Her user name was Chris23 and within a few weeks after she signed up, her dream man sent her a message.

A month after Chris joined CF, she received a message from an interesting gentleman. It was from Sam, a Canadian in his late 40s, the father of  two children. He was instantly attracted to Chris. He had been a CF member for a few months and had been taking his time, serious in his search for true love. He had always been certain that Christian Filipina was the right website to meet the right woman. His patience and confidence paid off.

It took 3 months of reviewing profiles before Sam saw Chris’s profile.  He felt instantly attracted to her. But it took persistence and consistency to help him to win her heart. He spent time to get to know her well. For Chris, she began to feel that her week was not complete without any online conversation with Sam. They enjoyed each other’s company and they never felt any pressure to jump in a relationship right away.

One time, Sam told her, “You know Chris, you are a good person and you deserve a good husband”. And he was right, she deserved a good husband. They just didn’t know yet that they were destined to be the better half of each other. Whenever she recalls this moment though, it never fails to make her smile. Their love story had begun.

Distance was never an issue for both of them. Chris recalls their first date, and it was special. After a few weeks of constant chat messaging, Sam finally asked Chris to go out with him on a date. It was totally unexpected and she was surprised so she asked him, “What?! a date?!”. Sam said, “Yes! Will you go out with me on a date on Skype?”. Chris was bursting into laughter after reading Sam’s chat message. It was a date that she will never forget. First date in Skype … then later Sam’s proposal was thru Skype too. There was no hesitation: Chris gave her “yes” to Sam.

For the first time, in November of 2012 they did not need Skype. At last, they met each other in Manila. Sam had come from Canada to tie the knot with his soul mate.
