I met Mercy through Christian Filipina, and when I first came across her profile, I never imagined that a dating site would lead me to my wife and the family we have today. We started talking, and what began as simple conversations slowly turned into something much deeper.

Even though we came from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, we found a connection that made the distance feel less important. We spent hours talking and getting to know each other, our families, our faith, our dreams, and what we wanted our future to look like. The more I got to know Mercy, the more I realized she was the person I wanted in my life.

This month, we celebrate four years together and two years of marriage. We got married on September 21, 2024, and since then, we’ve continued building our life together here in the United States. We now have our son, Calvin, who is about to celebrate his first birthday, and we’re raising our family together alongside my older children.

Our marriage isn’t perfect, and we’ve had our share of challenges. We’ve had disagreements, stressful seasons, and moments where we had to learn to communicate and understand each other better. But those experiences are part of what makes a relationship real. We’re still learning, growing, and working on becoming better partners and parents every day.

One of the things I appreciate most about Mercy is how deeply she cares about our family. Watching her become a mother and seeing the love she has for our son has been one of the most meaningful parts of our journey.

Looking back, it’s still amazing to me that I met my wife through Christian Filipina. I never expected that someone I met online, from another country, would become the person I’d build a life with. We may not have a perfect love story, but we have a real one—and four years later, we’re still choosing each other every single day.

I’m deeply grateful Christian Filipina brought us together and changed both of our lives. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share our story.
