Why Some Women Cheat – A Guide for Men

With such a huge member database, ours is one of the largest affair dating websites in Australia. While the Maroons tend to dominate the Blues on the field in State of Origin football, recent research shows that NSW supporters have more winning appeal. Rick Thanks again for this — Rick Ron I meet someone and we have been e-mailing starting September and then talked on the phone then started going out and I only date one person at a time and receiving e-mails from other people looking for someone would not be honest so I need to become inactive.

Just be patient and keep praying. We are attracted to each other on a deep spiritual level and we are best friends.

Best dating sites in Australia - Thanks again, and as in previous testimonials, I will pray for everyone on the site, that they find what they are looking for. Must be dicrete as family I'm living with would not approve of what I'm doing on this site.

We were both on for a little over a year before we started talking to each other. We married just this past Saturday! Kevin and Alexandra My trip to Ecuador, meeting Alexandra and her family for the first time was incredible. So much so that we are now engaged. We had been corresponding for the last couple of months and during that time developed a very close and loving relationship. We discussed marriage prior to me going there and knew in my heart that Jesus brought us together. We both planned the engagement, I selected the ring and brought it with me, and she selected a romantic dinner for the evening and what is now our place in Quito where I proposed. We are committed to each other and connected in so many ways. The first and foremost is our love for Jesus and Mary answering both our prayers to find that special person. We still have to plan our wedding date along with a number of other things. We will continue to share our story. Kevin and Alexandra Jessica My Husband and I met on this site in 2013. We had each been looking for a Catholic that shared our values and this is a great resource for bringing single Catholics together. We married a little over a year later and have happily welcomed our first child into the world. We have been extremely blessed and none of this would have been possible without your ministry to singles. We started dating soon after and have been inseparable ever since! Matt and I were married June 6, 2015. After celebrating our first holiday season together as a married couple, we are so excited to see what the years ahead have in store for us. Our next adventure is traveling to Disney World for our one-year anniversary to revisit where we were engaged. We are so grateful for CatholicSingles. Then I met Camille. On our first date lunch in New York City , besides the obvious, mutual attraction, we could instantly relate to our common upbringing and shared family values and things that mattered more to us than superficial qualities like a type of wardrobe or hair or, in my case, the lack thereof. You matched me with Camille in August of 2008, and we were married in August of 2011. I am proud to have her as my wife, and we look forward to many more happy memories together. Thank you again, from both of us! Mike Sarah and Nick Dear CatholicSingles. Nick the most amazing man I have ever met and is perfect for me in every way. We are planning on getting married in the spring of 2012 and just started looking at rings. Thank you so much. I had given up on love long before that sporting 5 years without a date. Joanie contacted me soon after that and we proved to each other that proper love was not out of reach. We met several times after that Chicago, Omaha, Davenport , and grew in love for each other despite our homes being 635 miles apart. Joanie sends me cards and packages often to remind me that she loves me, and I still give her flowers every time we meet. We have been engaged now for one month, and are beginning the many steps in planning our wedding and building a new home together. We have created so many loving memories together already that we can hardly contain our joy. We were married June 18 2011 and have never been happier. We met in May 2007 on your website and were engaged April 2010. This site allowed us to find someone of the same values and background. We look forward to our future and starting a family. Maureen Married About ten years ago in 2003, I joined CatholicSingles. On June 17, 2003, I sent a greeting to a new member named Photogal. We were married on June 5, 2004. Our daughter Clare was born on December 12, 2006. On June 17, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of that first e-mail message on Catholic Singles that changed our lives and filled them with unimagined blessings. Thank you, Catholic Singles, for making it possible. On New Years Day I received a message saying I had mail on CatholicSingles. After mass Elizabeth came around the corner and said she was late and it was the lovely lady who I had been watching for several months but never thought of talking to her. We went out the following Saturday just lunch but it turned into a day and evening event going to dinner in Jackson. Because of what happened to my late wife, after 3 months of dating I asked Elizabeth when she had her last physical. I made the appointment and made sure she went for her scheduled physical. As a result of that physical they found breast cancer but the good news it was stage one. We were married on July 8th 2005. It is now 8 yrs. Our 6 children have supported us in every way which makes our relationship even more special. I thank the good Lord every day because it is special to have true love 1 time in your life, but finding true love 2 times in life is very Special. Oh yes, Elizabeth saw the catholicsingles. HisMinstrall Bill sent me a smile across the world from America to Australia. I replied with offer to be an email pal as long distance relationship appears to be almost impossible. I was actually surprised when Bill responded positively. We started off by exchanging photos and introducing ourselves. After months of regular emails, we decided to meet in person. Bill flew into Sydney Kingdford Smith Airport in October last year and i had no trouble recognising him. We got on fine in Australia. I knew at that time, Bill was the man of my dreams. I decided to accompany him back to America to spend more time with him. To cut a long story short, Bill and I got engaged whilst we were in America. I returned to Australia and after another six months of emailing, we got married in South Lake tahoe, California on 15th April, 2012. We had a church wedding on the Feast Day of the Devine Mercy of Jesus. God works in mysterious ways and we are now happily married and I am settling down to the American way of life. Love makes the world go round and nothing is impossible. My husband David and I met on Catholic Singles over 4 years ago. It really is a fairy tale story. We both were older and both knew that we wanted a spouse that shared the same religious beliefs and life values. After a good friend at work persuaded me to go on Catholic Singles, I met David. After corresponding for a few weeks and talking on the phone we met in person. We had an instant connection from the start, but after meeting we were inseparable. We were both baptized and raised Catholic, we both wanted the same thing for our own family someday. He proposed October 26, 2008 and it was onto wedding plans and future plans and family intergration. It was all so exciting and it was also so exhausting. We decided to have our whole immediate family as part of the wedding. On August 29, 2009 we were married at the same church his siblings were and also baptised at. It was the story book, fairy tale wedding anyone could ask for. Picture included of wedding party will show you just how beautiful it was. Soon after we were married I became pregnant and on October 31, 2010, our absolutely beautiful and precious Abigail Josephine was born. We are now going to be happily married three years, and continue to plan for the future and keep God as the main staple in our lives. I have included pictures of our wedding a few of our daughter. We want to thank Catholic Singles for being the engine God used to bring us together, I hope there are many other couples that are blessed enough to find the love we have. All you have to do is just give yourself to God and he will take care of the rest. God Bless you all and thanks again! Jean and Ron Dear CatholicSingles. Jean responded, a little hesitantly, as Ron lived two hours away. We talked for many hours, before meeting each other in person in November. We knew God had a special plan for us. In April, Ron proposed,and we were married in a Nuptial Mass, in November 2011. God is so good! We both took a leap of faith in dating online, and we are glad we did, as He provided. We are so happy! We are thankful for your service. Jean and Ron Jason and Angelica Dear CatholicSingles. There were many differences between us, such as age and location, but there was a much stronger attraction and that was Christ. Jason had an account for many years and I had just given the site a chance when all it took was a smile to begin our conversation and the rest was history. We are currently engaged and there is no one i would rather spend the rest of my life with than him. Through the site I was able to be extremely honest in regards to my faith and expectations in a relationship. May God continue blessing your ministry in all that you do! Thank you for understanding the truth of how love should truly be through our Lord Jesus Christ. Sincerely, Angelica Bernadette and Dennis Dear CatholicSingles. I am so happy I made the decision to join CatholicSingles. Little did I know that by doing so, I would meet the man who I would spend the rest of my life with! Thank you again, CS! Warmest regards, Bernadette Tara and John Dear CatholicSingles. A few years ago, I was moving from Michigan to Texas. I actually went on to Catholic Singles to delete my account but curiosity got the best of me and I typed in my new zip code. We messaged back and forth for two weeks and then finally met up in person when I moved to Texas. We are eternally grateful to CatholicSingles. John is everything I wanted in a man and more. Thank you Catholic Singles! Natalie and Aaron Dear CatholicSingles. Aaron joined the site when he saw my profile. I knew within a month of dating he was the one God chose for me. Our lives will never be the same. He proposed in December and we will be getting married this July. He makes me a better person for just knowing him and he consistantly helps me develop my relationship with god. I am so grateful for the gift of your services and that God used your services to introduce us. I just hope that many others have the same experience. Com, Mike and I met on CatholicSingles. We are so grateful to God that through your website we found each other. We want to thank you by sharing our story and hopefully inspire others. How we met… Her version: A dare to create a profile on CatholicSingles. I was very hesitant as Mike lived two hours away from New York City. A series of e-mails followed in the four months before I agreed to meet Mike in person. We met on a very hot and humid Memorial Day Weekend in NYC. In a span of seven hours, we talked over coffee, attended a Vigil Mass at St. We have been inseparable ever since. We got engaged two years after we met. We recently got married in Poughkeepsie, NY. His version: One of my brothers encouraged me to try online dating. I was very hesitant but decided to give it a shot, thus, creating a trial profile on CatholicSingles. I planned to stay for an hour and even had an emergency back-up plan. We parted ways seven hours later. We have been together ever since and were recently married. Thank you CatholicSingles for the services you provide and bringing us together! After a few e-mails back and forth we decided to met for lunch. Our first date on July 22, 2012 lasted only 4 and a half hours. After a few more dates we became engaged on October, 7, 2012 and we were married on August 10, 2013. We recently celebrated our first anniversary and we both are thankful to Catholic Singles for being there and giving us the chance to find happiness and love. The day I signed on to CatholicSingles, my husband had given up and had signed on to close his account. He saw my message and decided to hold on to hope. I was in California, and Matthew was in Florida. Our marriage and our kids bring us so much joy. I never knew such love and joy was possible before I was blessed with my husband and kids. Thank you so much! God bless all of you! We started dating soon after and have been inseparable ever since! Matt and I got engaged in May 2014 and will be getting married in just 53 days! We are so grateful to CatholicSingles. I knew I wanted to find someone who shared my same Catholic beliefs. I had met a few women through your site but I felt that I was trying too hard and I took several mini-breaks throughout my time on your site only to return with a clearer vision of what was meant for me. In November 2007, I was in the chat room conversing with the usual group when Jenny73 entered. I was being polite and said hello and continued my chat with others. Jenny would interject with her comments and then sent me a private message commenting on one of my own messages. Over the next couple of weeks our conversations continued and progressed from chats on the computer to phone calls. We decided that we wanted to meet each other even though Jenny is from New Jersey and I am from Massachusetts and so we agreed to meet at Dunkin Donuts in Conneticut that lasted 13 hours. The next time we saw each other was Christmas when she came to Massachusetts for New Years Eve. After that we saw each other every other weekend. We continued to discern where our relationship was going and how were we going to make the distance thing work. We continued to see each other through the summer of 2008 and our feelings for each other continued to grow. We hated being apart from one another. After much discussion we decided that I would move to New Jersey. We became engaged and married on August 18, 2009. On September 21, 2010 we welcomed our son Ryan who is now four and a half. I had never been on a cruise before, or even out of the country, so Joe led me through the whole process. Little did I know that he was planning something much bigger than a simple vacation for us. It was the formal night on the cruise and we got all dressed up, had photos taken and had a wonderful meal at the bistro. Joe, as usual, was treating me like a queen. I gasped and my heart was in my throat as I listened to his beautiful proposal. Of course you know how I answered. On June 14, 2003 we will be joined as one. Never to be separated again. Thank you CS for giving us the means to find each other. I had tried everything to meet someone special, and I had no success, no matter how much I prayed. I even tried and QUIT the Catholic Singles web site THREE TIMES talk about frustration! Then, miraculously, after I signed back up the last time, I met the most special woman on Earth. Unbelievably, we live only SIXTEEN BLOCKS away from each other! We had been going to the same stores, malls, library, and restaurants for THREE YEARS and never ran into each other until we met on Catholic Singles! We would never have met if we had not used your site. We are so happy it is indescribable, and we are planning to get married once I finish my MBA program. To all those skeptics out there: it really works! You just have to keep praying, decide what you want in a partner, and stick with it. Thank you so much for all your help! Take care and God bless you all! Myers so I decided to search try CatholicSingles. We would definately have something in common! So I got a bit gutsy and sent him an e-mail and low and behold… he wrote back! We continued to write back and forth 2-3 times a week, sometimes more, for 6 weeks. We met three days later February 22, 2003 and had a blast!!! It was an instant soulmate connection! We got engaged in Key West on April 26th, 2003. We were only 16 miles apart, one in NJ the other in PA. We have to thank you and the service because without CatholicSingles. Our love for each other and our faith in God continues to reach new heights. WE hope many other couples may share in Gods Blessings as we have. We corresponded for about 6 weeks before actually meeting. He lives about 120 miles away, so visiting was always a PLANNED event. We became great friends,…and finally in Sept of 2000 became seriously exclusive daters! We got engaged in Nov. I want to Thank CatholicSingles. COM for providing an opportunity for us to meet in a safe environment, and for helping to promote the faith in a unique way…. Lots of gratefulness — Marya and Nicholas Kerri Ann Dear CatholicSingles. We are now expecting our first child. We would be more than happy to share the details of our story, and our beautiful wedding photos, with you as a testimonial. We are so grateful to the Good Lord and to CatholicSingles. It all started on September 2000 when we met on CatholicSingles. Within 3 months, we fell in love and became engaged. On September 29, 2001 we began our glorious union as husband and wife. We were like many young adult Catholics who dreamed of finding a soulmate. Our dreams came true when we found each other, and we believe God will bless you with the same gift of love. Our first year of marriage has been an absolute joy. We share a life together as one, and I thank the Lord each and every day for such a beautiful gift. My husband is the light of my life, and I thank you at CatholicSingles. May God Bless You! I am extremely happy to update you that we were married in October 2001 after meeting in October 2000 on your site. Married life is WONDERFUL — and we thank you so very much for having this website available for Catholic Singles to meet. We hope our friend can be as lucky as we have been. We met using your service in October of 2001 and were married in November of 2002. We cannot say enough good things about your service, and can even say that we recommended the service to a close friend, who also was recently engaged to the person she met here. My wife and I have not been happier since we met on Catholic Singles, and we knew right away that we had met our soul mate. We were engaged after 8 months, and married withing the first year. Thank you again, and God Bless, Joe and Trish Jennifer G. My husband and I met through CatholicSingles. I was living in Virginia at the time that we met, and he in Georgia. If it were not for CatholicSingles. Thank you for making it possible to meet a wonderful, faith-filled Catholic gentleman! I want to thank you for the channel that you have created for our paths to cross. We married in August of 2003 and we are now expecting our first child! Thank you so much for the opportunity to receive such gifts from God. Nicole Claire and Jim Dear Catholic Singles, I just wanted to thank you for this service. I met my husband on CatholicSingles. We were married just over a year ago. Both of us had been waiting for that special person, and at last, we found each other through you! I am so grateful? Please keep doing what you do. God does His hand in this! Jeri and I met in late February of this year on catholicsingles. She had been on the web site during 2002 without much success. I had been on at around the same time and met some very nice ladies, but nothing clicked. Our first meeting was for mass and breakfast across the street. Thank you for all that your web site did for two middle-aged people who had had successful marriages, were widowed much too soon, and were blessed by God to find happiness again. E-mails, meeting for our first date for lunch… and now we are married. After getting an annulment and getting married again in the Catholic church I cannot say enough how grateful I am to your service. I had been single for over a year and was not meeting anyone. The mother of a catholic friend of mine suggested Catholicsingles. After a month or so, I decided to give it a try. After a couple of months I was discouraged, but my mom told me to be patient. Sure enough, right after that, Eric emailed me. He was kind, thoughtful, not pushy and most importantly a practicing catholic that cherishes family. After a month of emails and phone calls, we decided to meet and from then on we were close to inseperable. We dated for nearly two years, the best two years of my life. How wonderful it is to be able to pray with someone and tell them your secrets and stories and trust them indefinitely. We were married at St. Annes Catholic church in Houston, TX on October 23rd. I can not express enough gratitude to God and catholicsingles. He is a United States Marine and was serving in Iraq at the time he joined CatholicSingles. We met and corresponded for almost five months before we met in person. I was one of the first people he saw when he got back from the war. It is through your website that God gave us the means to meet. We are discussing marriage in the near future… I will send an update!!! We laughed and talked and rode roller coasters all day! I felt like I had just met my best friend, my soulmate! The distance did not end up being a problem as we saw each other every weekend and we talked every night. Two months later we were engaged!! God does amazing things and we know He brought us together. Chris and I were married Feburary 28, 2004 at St. We thank God every day for each other and blessings we have received. Thank you Catholic Singles for helping this union become possible. God Bless you all, — Kierstin Weber Elizabeth and Patrick I wanted to share my success story with you. We met April of 2001. We Knew right away we would get married. I have two girls and he has taken on being the greatest father they could ever have. We both were married before and waited to go through church annulments and it was all worth it. We had our dream catholic wedding in our church May 3rd 2002. We went on a beautiful honeymoon in Europe for 2 weeks we got back a few weeks later and found out we are expecting our 3rd bundle of joy February 6th 2003. We are the happiest people and the Lord definitely brought us together to witness his love for us. We plan on having a large happy catholic family together. Thank you for this website I would have never met Patrick if it was not for this website. Sincerely, — Elizabeth and Patrick Emese and Peter Dear CatholicSingles. Stephen of Hungary Church in New York City. Emese had been on CatholicSingles. Peter lives in Pittsburgh, but is originally from Brooklyn, and he drove 420 miles to our first date in September at the San Gennaro festival in Little Italy, New York. Needless to say, we would have never found each other without CatholicSingles. Yours is a true ministry and we can never, never thank you enough for the beautiful dream we are living. After doing a search, I came upon Catholic Singles. We each knew what we wanted from life and one important thing was to find someone to spend the rest of our life with. Donald proposed to me in March of this year and we are planning to get married in 2006. We are so compatible. Who would have thought that a friendship could blossom into something so wonderful? Andy had always been in Chicago, except for a small stint at Notre Dame. With the encouragement of friends, we both signed up for Catholic Singles to meet some new people but without much expectation. In May of 2004, Andy and I started a few conversations on-line and had spoken once or twice by phone. Since I had never been to a Cubs game, and Andy being a very big Cubs fan, he invited me out to a game so that we could actually meet. We had a great time, the cubs lost, but we continued our evening over dinner and both thought we would keep in touch. We did keep in touch. We were engaged to be married in April, 2005. Our ceremony and celebration will take place in San Diego on August 5th, 2005, just a few weeks away. We are so sincerely happy and amazed we found one another. And we are grateful that Catholic Singles had a role to play in helping our paths cross. I had recently moved from NY to NC and was looking to meet a Catholic, professional like myself. I decided to try CatholicSingles. The first week I joined Catholic Singles, I received emails from a lot of nice people, but many were from out of state. One night later in the next week I accidentally entered the chat room thinking I was going to read about how to do the chats — and Scott introduced himself. He was as charming in person as he was on the phone and that night I knew he was the one. We had so much in common — from values and religious background to education and upbringing. We dated throughout the summer. Scott and I got engaged on Sept. It was quite a surprise and quite a romantic proposal, but Scott is quite an amazing man and I would have expected no less from him. We were married in on a beautiful Spring day at St. Thank you — Karen Galiger Brian Dunleavy Brian and I met on the Catholic Singles website in August of 2003. As it turned out, Brian was only a few weeks from his subscription expiration when I e-mailed him. We e-mailed each other a few times, and then finally progressed to the phone. Our first conversation lasted two hours and ended with us finding out that we had the same birthday exactly six years apart! Since that time, Brian and I have been steadily dating and have endured a lot together, including my mom being diagnosed with cancer. Through it all, our Catholic faith has not only kept us together, but allowed us to grow closer and more in love. On August 10th of 2004, Brian and I got engaged at LOVE Park in Philadelphia. Our wedding is set for December of 2005. I can say with absolute certainty that Brian and I are soulmates and that Catholic Singles was the vessel that brought us together. We feel especially blessed to have found each other and thank the Lord for introducing us to each other through Catholic Singles. Our initial phone conversation lasted well over three hours. Approximately one month later, I flew from Maryland to California to visit Debbie for the first time, in person. As is obvious this was truly a long distance relationship. We exchanged eight cross country trips prior to our engagement on June 30, 2004, followed by another eight cross-country visits prior to our wedding day in Westlake Village, CA on July 23, 2005. Our relationship is proof that GOD works in wonderful ways and our love for one another is proof of his work even barring the distance and obstacles between us. We now reside in Easton, MD — just east of Annapolis, MD. Thank you for providing us with the vehicle in which to meet. We are forever grateful. We wish all of you on this site many blessings in finding your soul mate. On August 2002, I decided to give Catholicsingles. His message sounded so cute, so I decided to check him out. As I studied his picture and profile, I got very excited! At that moment, I knew that I had found my soulmate. We chated on the telephone a few times and then went out on a date. It turns out that we have the same interests and we both are highly involved in the church. I did not think I could meet anyone like him on the internet. Thank you Catholic Singles! And so when we joined Catholic Singles in March, 2005, neither of us held high expectations but prayed that if anything were to happen, it would be with a partner who shared the same values and faith foundation. There was an immediate connection on e-mail and our first phone call lasted over five hours. We can just be ourselves with each other and it feels incredible to have met the soulmate God had intended for each of us all along. We married in Nova Scotia in December which was our 10th in-person meeting a short courtship being completely out of character for both of us. In a world tainted with cynicism and doubt, we feel especially blessed in knowing that it was our faith in God and in love that ultimately brought us together. At the center of our deep love and friendship is a faith-based commitment to grow in Christ together and to honor and celebrate our Sacrament of Marriage forever. Marriage was definitely not on my mind. As a widow for nearly 9 years I had become rather set in my ways and I was not looking for much of a change. After a long lecture on internet safety and how to act on a blind date, my daughters told me to think of something that was important to me and then find a singles group that matched. As a teacher in a New York Archdiocesan High School, religion was definitely a priority and a quick look on the internet led me to CatholicSingles. I met several wonderful men on CatholicSingles. We lived about 20 miles from one another, but my job was only about 3 miles from his home. I made the connection and after several e-mails, we had our first date the day before Thanksgiving. We clicked from day one and from there the relationship seemed almost guided by another force. We have four grown children, three of whom went to the same high school. And yet it took CatholicSingles. We were married by his brother, a priest in Alaska, in December 2004. We just celebrated our one year anniversary and we look forward to many years together. Thank you for bringing us together! Mary Jane Lisa and Robert Jost Dear Catholic Singles, Thank you for your valuable service. Rob and I met through your website in August of 2003. After two weeks of emailing and talking to each other on the phone, we met for the first time. After 3 dates, we knew we had something special. We continued to date and in October of 2004, Rob proposed. We just got married in May of 2005 at a beautiful church ceremony with all our family and friends. Thank you CS for providing a forum for Catholics to meet who are serious about their faith. Rob and I both were and had trouble in the past finding someone with a deep commitment to their faith. We had tried the traditional single groups, church groups, and friend fix-up route to no avail. That was confirmed through our subsequent conversations. Who would have thought one little email could bring a guy from the City and a girl from the burbs to each other, but here we are and we are extrememly grateful. To those of you still looking, we offer our story as a sign of hope. This method may not work for everyone, but it is an option and it can have great results. Pete returned from the holiday season in Spain with similar thoughts in mind. In late February 2004, we swapped a few emails and agreed to meet over a casual dinner on March 5th. After an almost 3-hour dinner, we knew we had a lot in common. Despite being raised in opposite ends of Texas and traveling throughout the world to different places, we both had similar stories to share about family, friends and dreams. Within a few dates, it was clear we were meant to find each other. We were engaged 4 months later and married on January 22, 2005. We will always thank God for blessing us in our relationship and will be grateful to CatholicSingles. May God bless you always. I had dated for about four years or so but did not find what I was looking for. So, I tried dating services. A very expensive secular service yielded slim results, a Christian service was better, but I had no success until I found Catholic Singles. Lily was 33 year old, never dated, never married. She was a refugee in a strange country and recently liberated from a long obligation taking care of family. Catholic Singles was the first and only place she would look for a spouse. She was not what I was expecting. But both of us had prayed to God reverently for a spouse and were willing to accept whom He sent us. I was a fat white guy and she was a short skinny Chinese girl, but I wanted to meet her. We set up a short date. I met her on the steps of the Cathedral in San Francisco. She invited me in to begin our relationship with the Rosary before the Blessed Mother. We went to the business her family owned to get permission, as was the custom in her culture, to go to the Park for a Picnic. That was followed by several more visits back and fourth and a strong bond of friendship and determination to bridge the cultural gap between us and develop in the faith we shared together. Great prayer and contemplation let us both to commit to each other in marriage and our relationship solidified in the pre-Cana process and a year of happy marriage. That is what happened to screen names, Mikeinva and Fstaqwn! Several nights in the chatroom in May 2005, seeing the same screen names, same time, same place, did the Pooh icon catch my eye and my sense of humor, and next thing I knew, I get an Instant Message from the Pooh icon. We chatted in Messenger every night and eventually exchanged phone numbers. And it was that first phone call that I heard the voice that would some day become my husband. Then it came time for the most challenging times of any relationship. Who was going to visit who? We had to just go with the flow and give the relationship to God. And that is what we did. We knew from the very start it was meant to be. Our wedding was just as we wanted it to be…an Irish FIESTA! The ending and beginning of so many experiences can only be held up by one man, GOD! And we thank Him every day of our lives for all our blessings! We also thank Catholic Singles for bringing us together! There would have been no way possible that we would have met. We also share our success story with anyone who asks, including at our Engagement Encounter weekend. Because it does happen! May God Bless you and all those we met while in chat!!! Sincerely, Cyndi and Mike Leddy Ken and Christine Glassmeyer Dear Catholic Singles, My husband Ken and I met on your website back in August 2002. We were married this past June 18th, 2005. I was scared but excited to try this because I was tired of not meeting anyone and thought this might give me a good chance. After emailing for what seemed like a long time, though it was really only 2 weeks, Ken gave me his phone number. We talked for a month before we actually met. Our phone calls were wonderful and usually lasted hours. Our first meeting was October 5th, 2002, and it lasted over 6 hours. There was definitely a connection! We continued to date and see each other over the weekends since we lived over an hour away from each other. We have so much in common from the way we were raised to our fathers both graduating from the same university in the same school of business to what we like to do in our free time to our core beliefs and values. In June 2004 Ken proposed at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It was a beautiful and perfect day. And this past June we were married. Without your website, my husband and I never would have met. It took six months to finally meet her. I had just returned from a cruise vacation to Bermuda and decided to check my e-mail on the CatholicSingles. To my surprise, Tessa laughnsmile76 had contacted me while I was away on vacation. Amazingly, it did not take long for us to begin learning about one another through e-mailing on the website for two weeks and realize there was something very special developing between us. I gathered the courage to call her a week later and things just took off from there. We have now been dating for over a year and a half and both of us realize that we were meant to be with one another. In that being the case, I decided to propose to Tessa on Christmas Eve. Mike and I are getting married in August. Mike initially emailed me in July 2004. It turned out he already knew several of my friends and attended events at my church, our paths had just never crossed. Last December, he proposed on a suspension bridge above a cloud rain forest in Costa Rica. We have been busy getting ready for our wedding and spending our lives together, as well as going on lots of adventures together. I never thought God would have me meet my future husband on the Internet! I was scanning the profiles as was my habit when chatting with new people, and I realized that Tom and I had something in common, we had both been to World Youth Day Toronto 2002. I thought that this bald cowboy from Colorado was kind of cute and very interesting. On October 24th, 2004 Tom got down on one knee and proposed at the Mother Cabrini Shrine where we had gone on that first spring break trip the year before. Then on July 2, 2005, Tom and I were forever joined in Holy Matrimony at Immaculate Heart of Mary parish back home in Lansing. Now a little more than a year later we are excitedly awaiting the birth of our first child, John Paul. To tell our success story about meeting online and falling in love was a little strange at first, but now I cannot imagine my life any differently. I was pretty disinterested and noncommital about the idea of online dating, having never done it before this enrollment. I had been on the site about two weeks when I received a funny and interesting email. Seamus had been on CatholicSingles. I wrote him back, somewhat interested but not too hopeful. However, Seamus was the first person who contacted me and the last. Seamus and I had many things in common; we knew this just from our emails: the same sense of humor, value of faith and family, and a common Irish heritage. We went on our first date on July 28, 2002. Neither one of us wanted the date — dinner and a walk — to end. We were both instantly comfortable with each other. We spent the next two years in a long distance relationship — about three hours apart within upstate New York. This was challenging but drew us even closer together in many ways. We spent precious time together enjoying nature in the Adirondacks, museums in the city and just getting to know one another. On December 4, 2004, Seamus proposed at our favorite nature preserve. We were married on July 30, 2005 in our beautiful historic church in Albany. Bagpipers led us out of the Mass and into our life together. We are extremely grateful for that. Thank you, Catholic Singles. Someday, we will tell our grandchildren about our time — however limited! Kira and Seamus Anne and Joe Dear CatholicSingles. I went on your site after finding out through passing conversation with my roommate that both our mothers had been pushing us to try CatholicSingles. We both went on the site and did the three-month membership to see what it was all about. Later I found out, Joe had been on the site only about a month and a half before I emailed him. He tried it because a friend of his suggested internet dating and his dad had told him to go to church to meet a nice girl. He decided to put the two together and did a search on the internet and found your site. We emailed back and forth for about a month and our first phone call lasted almost two hours. By the end of it we had our first date set for the following week, July 8, 2003! Joe and I both went on CatholicSingles. Since our religion is such a strong part of our moral and ethical upbringing, we knew we wanted to be with someone who had those same values and wanted them for their future children. On Easter Morning 2005 Joe asked me to marry him, he stitched my ring to a big pink stuffed bunny. Joe said he wanted to do it on a day he knew we would see my whole family so we could celebrate. Only five and a half months later, on a lovely Monday afternoon, October 10, 2005 we got married! We lived only 30 miles from each other, but in Southern California we might as well have been in separate states. We know it was fate that we met each other, and without your site it never would have happened. Thank you for making the most difficult part of connecting with someone, a whole lot easier. E-mailing soon turned into conversations over the phone, until they finally decided to meet. By the third date, just 11 days later, their relationship status became official. Jonathan had heard the old adage before. But he never believed it until he met Megan. They took to the ice Thursday night with the soundtrack of their relationship, prepared by Jonathan, playing in the background. First a Cold Play song — a reminder of the concert they went to in February, then the theme song from the Shamu show at Sea World — Jonathan had e-mailed Sea World months earlier to get the name of the song. But he never believed it until he met Megan. As the song ended, he pulled her to the middle of the rink and dropped to one knee. Are you really serious? I was dedicated to my work, helping people. I was working as a Social Worker; but I wanted to meet someone special, with a very good heart. I checked other websites before trying yours, but in none of them I found the people that I found here. So, I decided to sign for this one and in less than three months, I got the opportunity of meeting a man with the most wonderful heart that I have ever met. This happened in March of 2003. After 9 months he proposed to me. Our engagement lasted 6 months and we got married in June 24, 2004. We have been happily married since then. This is the first time in my life that God gave me the opportunity of enjoying so much love and happiness. We have two kids. As I tell everybody that I know, my family is my happiness and I owe this to your service. Thank you so much, Marie Laura Dear Catholic Singles, I wanted to write and thank you for the role that you played in bringing Chris and I together. We met through your website in July of 2005. I had not had much luck with the whole on-line dating thing and I was not expecting Chris to be any different. However I decided to give it one last chance. We met and on our first date when he said that he also loved Mister Rogers, I knew that he was different. We were engaged in May 2006 during a trip to Boston, and we were married on December 16, 2006. God has blessed us with each other and we are grateful for your website for allowing us to meet. Laura Danielle and Chris Dear Catholic Singles, Thank you for introducing me to my husband. We first met on your website in July 2004 and just got married on October 7th, 2006. Him being from Chicago and myself being from Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada, our courtship was trying but completely worth it. We currently reside in Chicago and are excited to begin our lives together. We will pray for your ministry and hope you keep us in your prayers. Being able to find a partner who has a strong foundation in the Catholic faith is a foundation for a wonderful relationship and family. Your ministry truly can help build strong Catholic families. God Bless you for that! In Christ, Danielle and Chris Carrie Walters Dear Catholic Singles, I just wanted to share a success story with you! Shawn Shannon and I first met through your site in April 2005. On April 6, 2007, we became engaged! We are hoping to get married in December 2007. Carrie Walters Craig and Casey Dear Catholic Singles, We met through your website in 2004 and were married in April 2006. We are now expecting our first child this August! Our Catholic faith is important to both of us and with it we have built a wonderful and long-lasting partnership. Without this website, we would have never met each other. Thank you for bringing us together. Now, we are less than 75 days until we marry on Sept 1. Earlier this month, we had a great time during the Catholic Engagement Encounter course and we even wrote love letters to each other over that weekend. We would like to thank you all for your continuing support, love and prayers. What a way to start the year! I had been praying for God to send me my soulmate as it finally hit me one day that this was not something that I could find on my own. Prior to starting a free trial on your website, I was looking for some material for my religious education class on a Catholic website and I just happened to see an ad for CatholicSingles. I was humored by the fact that there was an internet dating service based on my faith. Goes to show how wrong people are when they do not think of our faith and Lord as modern! We became engaged on March 18th of that same year and were married on May 6, 2006. But, I thank you for your ministry and allowing it to happen. God bless you all always. Please keep each other and this ministry in your prayers for the benefits of others in the days to come! Sincerely, Brian and Dania Karen and Scott Dear Catholic Singles, We are one of your success stories and I am just writing to give you an update. We were so fortunate to have found each other thanks to CatholicSingles. Thank you for everything. Karen, Scott and PJ Kane Lynn and John Our friends at CatholicSingles. And yes we met on CatholicSingles. We have penciled in the last Saturday in July, 2008 at St. Robb Mobile, Alabama Jamie and Sonya Dear Catholic Singles, After years of traveling down a long and winding broken road, God intervened. We feel our faith and God is what brought us together. However in literal terms, we met on that crazy internet. This was a site that geared toward our faith and religion. We met at CatholicSingles. We started emailing each other the beginning of October of 2005. We got engaged on September 29, 2006 and got married on August 18th, 2007 in Detroit, Michigan. It was a full Catholic Latin mass. You heard that correctly, LATIN! Our wedding showed the tremendous love we have for each other, our faith, and our family. Jamie and Sonya Suzanne and Harland Dear CatholicSingles. A couple of weeks later we spoke on the phone for the first time, and in Feb, the week of Valentines day, we had our first date. We have seen each other every weekend since then, and have emailed or spoken to each other every day since our first email. On Oct 26, 2007 we became engaged and plan on getting married in July of 2008. We feel so blessed to have met each other. Neither of us has ever been married and had nearly given up on ever finding someone to share our lives with. Of course, we never would have met without your website, and we so grateful to you for giving us the chance to find our soulmate. Vernon Noronha Dear Catholic Singles, Emilia lived in San Diego, where she grew up. I however lived in Chicago, to which I had moved from England in 1995. She is the sixth child in her family and also the third of three triplets. We met through Catholic Singles because both of us were disenchanted with the secular websites but wanted to find someone special and preferably someone Catholic. From then on, we saw each other maybe once a month, more often in San Diego than in Chicago, but she did get introduced to snow by me one Chicago winter. In 2004 she moved to Chicago so we could get to know each other better and two years later, in August 2006, we were married at St Stanislaus Kostka Church in Chicago, with family flying in from Australia, England, Virginia and California. Vernon Noronha Paul and Tori Dear CatholicSingles. We just celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary on January 21st, 2008. We are still very much in love and met on CatholicSingles. We have told our story so many times, often to people who doubt that internet dating can be any good. Well it can be very, very good. We are active in our parish and find strength in our belief in God. Paul and Tori Mike and Tina Dear Catholic Singles, Wow, what a difference a year makes! I joined your website because my dad thought I might meet someone special, someone different than my previous boyfriends. At the time, I was discouraged with the dating scene, and pretty much threw in my towel on the whole thing… but I decided to give it a try in September of 2005, and 2 weeks into it I got an email from Mike. From that moment, all we did was email each other and talk on the phone all night. We had so much in common, from our family backgrounds, to the things we like to do on our time off, but most importantly our values were identical. So after 2 months, we finally met for dinner — it was November 4. We got married in a Catholic Cathedral in August 2007. One of the best moments of my life was listening to my husband say his vows. It was so emotional for both of us. We are so happy! It gives us such a good feeling to know that there will be many more success stories after ours. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We wanted to follow up with more wonderful news! We had our baby girl, Clarissa after St Clare Ann, on December 27, five days late. She was baptized on January 31, the Feast of St John Bosco. She is truly a child of CatholicSingles. We both thank God everyday for all the blessings that this Love has brought into our lives. Most of all, our beautiful daughter who is the light of our lives. It is such a gift to find someone with similar values, beliefs and faith and we are grateful to CatholicSingles. The great thing about meeting online was that we both knew we had a starting point of sharing our faith. It gave us a chance to get to know the basics about one another before we even met in person! I had been on Catholic Singles for a while, but knew I did not want to move out of our rural state. It was difficult meeting anyone on the website in our area. I would check from time to time to see if there was anyone new in the area. One day there was a very interesting profile. I reactivated my account… the next day I had an email from Thom! We began emailing and found we lived about three hours apart. We had many common interests, views and knew common people. After about a month of emails and phone calls, we decided to meet. It was such a comfortable first date-laughing, being outside, getting to know one another. Our families and friends were a huge support for us. About six months into our relationship, we knew that it was worth the risk of making some life changes and we were able to move to the same town. Well, needless to say, we were married in June, 2005. We now have a daughter who was born around Christmas 2006. We both truly believe that God will use whatever means possible to bring two people together when they are both ready. Thanks again, Thom and Kelly Michael and Jo-Ann Henry Dear CatholicSingles. We met on June 30, 2003 after a short correspondence by computer. There was an immediate attraction, not only because of common interests and personal compatibility but also, and maybe primarily, because of the faith that we share. We had lived only a few miles apart in Queens, NY for years and both of us even knew a couple of the same people but we most likely never would have met without CatholicSingles. To make a long story short, we were married early in 2004 and ever since we have felt as though we have one of those marriages made in Heaven. So we are certainly indebted to CatholicSingles. We got married on December 30, 2006. We are very happy together. Our friendship turned into a relationship very quickly. We are attracted to each other on a deep spiritual level and we are best friends. It just made sense to both of us to search for someone on this site. We truly believe God has a say in our marriage and in how we met. So we wanted to thank you for everything you do. We are proof that God does work in all kinds of ways. We encourage single people to use this site and above all to have faith that God will take care of their needs. Thanks again, and God bless. Sean and Johanna Ruben and Anita Dear Catholic Singles, Ruben and I met soon after we had both subscribed to your website, around July 2006. We physically met on February 17, 2007 and we say it was love at first sight and at first bite. That first date lasted for fourteen hours. On the second date he asked me to marry him because he was convinced that he had met the girl he wanted to marry. Finally on January 1, 2008 we both agreed to start planning for our wedding. I got everything I asked for, that is, the courtship, the wooing and a gentleman for a lifetime. We were married Saturday, July 05, 2008 and we plan on working very hard to make this marriage work. There has never been a doubt that this is the man God has set aside for me as my lifetime partner. Lastly, because of this website and its format, I can say that chatting on the web is a great way to meet great people even though we might never meet them physically. Many thanks to all who chatted with us and who were gracious enough to wish us well in our future when we announced we were leaving the chatroom. Best wishes to all, Ruben and Anita Dina and Alfredo Dear Catholic Singles, We are finally writing our story to personally thank Catholic Singles for this wonderful blessing. Our story begins with a couple of my friends who had met their husbands on secular websites telling me I needed to bite the bullet and put my profile out there and see what would happen. I was a little apprehensive, since I had heard many horror stories about dates gone badly from friends who were active on other websites! I finally gave in and funny we joined almost about the same time, he in July 2004 and I in August. When Alfredo emailed me, and I checked his profile out and saw that he was from Northern California, I almost sent him an email that I was not interested as I lived in Southern Cali. But something about his smile made me respond differently. He has a great sense of humor and would just make me laugh, soon visits were not enough and on a beautiful April day in 2005, he proposed at the Getty Center overlooking Beverly Hills. We got married 2 months later in a civil wedding in San Jose, Ca and in December, we were eventually married in Claremont CA at Our Lady of Assumption, just a mere 14 months after we met. We are very thankful to Catholic Singles and of course to God for giving us the opportunity to find each other. We believe that God has a plan for our lives and continues to keep our marriage strong. I encourage others to give this site a chance and place your trust in God and you might find your life-long partner, just like we did. Dina and Alfredo Derrick and Jenny Dear Catholic Singles, Jenny and I met in the chatroom in November of 2007. She had joined the website earlier that month on the advice of her parish priest. One day I was in the chat room getting ready to sign off when she came in. I told her that I was signing off but since she was in the room that I would stay for a while. Now, I live in Massachusetts and she lives in New Jersey so, this would take some planning. I like to plan things out so, I thought that I would plan our first date. From my house to Jennys is 5 hours and 34 minutes or 337. So, I found a mutual halfway point. I pulled into the parking lot and there she was waiting in her car. I gave her a big smile and a wave and she smiled and waved back. We both got out of our cars and gave one another a hug. Over the next 4 and a half hours, we sat at that Dunkin Donuts just talking and getting to know one another. We hit it off immediately. We continued to see each other over the next few weeks. I flew down to New Jersey for Christmas and she came to Boston for New Years Eve. We spent 5 days at Lake Placid with her family and friends in February. On March 29,2008 while overlooking the Gillette Castle and State Park in East Haddam, CT, I got down on one knee and proposed to Jenny. We are hoping to marry April 18, 2009 in Atlantic City, New Jersey and we are grateful that Catholic Singles brought us together. Sincerely Derrick and Jenny Kerry and Troy Dear Catholic Singles, Troy and I married December 17, 2005 and you have our wedding photo and story on your site remain over-the-moon happy in love and in faith in Minnesota. On January 15 of this year, we were overwhelmingly blessed and overjoyed to welcome our first child, son we named Samuel Xavier Bernard. He was definitely prayed for and is considered our true gift from God. He has brought a lot of extra fun and love into our home and we are enjoying every second of every day with him. We hope this e-mail finds you well. Enjoy a happy, safe and relaxing holiday. Kerry and Troy and Sam too Chris and Megan Mottet Dear Catholic Singles, We just wanted to thank you for CatholicSingles. My husband and I met on this site in November of 2005! Chris worked very long hours at his office, trying to climb the ladder in the corporate world. Neither of us were people to go to bars to pick someone up. We both are introverted and more homebodies. We also would have never met in passing as we lived over 80 miles apart from one another. We did meet, through CatholicSingles. We truly believe that God led us to one another on this site. Thank you and God Bless! David and I met on this website in May of 2007. On December 24, 2008, David proposed to me. Our wedding will be held this May, 2 years and 10 days after we met. God always has a plan for us, we just need to listen and be open for the call. After our first meeting in Lima on September, we enjoyed traveling to amazing places like Nazca Lines and Macchu Picchu in Cusco, we realized that God put us together, and on November that year I met his family for Thanksgiving. Even though we stayed in our own places, we keep growing our love and knowing each other better. By July 2007 he proposed while I was visiting in USA for a month vacation; we both knew that we had to make big decisions to make this work and we put all these in our prayers, finding the answers we asked for, and on December 29th 2007 we had the most wonderful wedding with our families and friends in a beautiful Colonial Church in downtown Lima. My husband and I met on your website, and were married on June 27, 2009. When Darin and I met over 5 years ago, both of us had come out of long-term relationships that left each of us heartbroken. From the moment that we met, however, we knew this was different and special. Since we are both devout in our Catholic faith and shared the same heritage, we immediately knew our bond had lots of potential. That potential quickly blossomed into a wonderful relationship…a close friendship and a connection that was very unique and very special to both of us. We both felt as if we had known each other for years. A year after we met and dated, Darin landed a job in Sydney. Throughout the years, we stayed very close. Any number of things could have happened after that first e-mail but, in the end, we wound up together. We are enjoying each other today as much as the day we met in that litle Polish restaurant in the East Village, NYC. We both believe that God has a plan for our lives…and that plan is for us to be together. When we met in Denver for dinner, we both agreed that it was one of the most fun dates either of us had ever been on, and our relationship just kept getting better. We became engaged in April of 2007 on Good Friday! We are now enjoying our life together in the Seattle area. Carrie and Shawn Kim and Tim Dear Catholic Singles, Tim and I met on CatholicSingles in April 2003. He found me, I should say. After e-mailing for about 2 weeks, and talking on the phone another week, we met in person. Tim invited me over to his apartment for a home-cooked dinner and by the time we hugged goodbye that night, it was obvious to both of us that this was something special. Within a month or two we were already talking about getting married. We were officially engaged 6 months after we met, and married 9 months later. Nine months after our wedding, our daughter was born! And just as He speaks to us in small ways throughout each day, He inspired us to join CatholicSingles and use that as a tool for us to meet. In 2007 Ken proposed to me at Niagara Falls, NY, USA. We were married on October, 4th 2008. I had been looking for a man who shares my strong religious beliefs and fidelity to the Church. We exchanged a few emails, and Nathaniel took me out to a lovely restaurant yes, I followed all the rules for on-line and offline dating, like meeting at a public place, etc. He was sweet and quite the gentleman, but not the idea of my prince. After much reflection and prayer, I decided that this man would be a help to me on my journey to heaven, and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. He proposed on August 29th, 2009 and we had a simple wedding ceremony on December 28th, 2009. I thank God for using Catholic Singles to bring us together. He is taller than me, now that I know him. He is wise, very educated in the female psyche, and actually understands me! He is a good listener, very sensitive to my feelings, and a great kisser! I pray for all on this site, that they may be open to the blessings God has in store for them. Bernadette Matthew and Erica Dear Catholic Singles, Here is an update since our wedding. We celebrated our 3 year anniversary April 21 of 2010. We have three kids and one on the way. I asked my spiritual director if it would be wrong for me to subscribe to CatholicSingles. Now Sophia and I are in our second year of marriage and both of us could not imagine being happier had we married anyone else. We have helped one another on our individual spiritual journeys before marriage and, by the grace of the Sacrament, we are helping one another in our joint vocation now. Thank you so much CatholicSingles. We had been talking via internet chat, and on the phone long distance all that time. We are getting married in the parish I work at on January 1st 2011. We are so happy and feel so blessed to have found each other. Thanks Catholic Singles, for bringing Joe and I together. Answer: A true CatholicSingles. In 2004, these similarities are what initially connected Kurt Schwartz and Alyssia Alaniz when they met via CatholicSingles. After a three-year courtship, they married at Corpus Christi Church on July 7, 2007, and immediately started a family in 2008. They continue to share their faith with their two boys, Zachary, age 3 and Gabriel, age 1, and they look forward to the day when they will share the story with them about how they met. Kurt and Alyssia Schwartz Joe and Lauren Dear CatholicSingles. When we first started talking Lauren was living in Dallas, TX and I was living in Salem, OR. It did not take long for us to make a connection and within a few months we started traveling back and forth to meet each other in person and each others families. After about 8 or 9 months we got engaged. We now live in Salem, OR where we both teach high school. All is well and we thank God for bringing us together. My goodness, a lot has happened since 2002. A lifetime of memories, love and devotion. God bless one and all! From our first date, we were comfortable talking about everything from faith to football. On our second date, before going sailing, we started our day with mass together. Although our lives took very different paths previous to meeting, we have always relied on our faith for answers in our relationship. On a trip to New York City in December, 2013, Joe proposed marriage. We were married on August 8, 2015, exactly two years after our first date. Our faith, and much laughter, has been central throughout our relationship and we are so thankful that God brought us together! We pray nightly for all those seeking love and hope others find a lifelong relationship through CatholicSingles. We have logged numerous phone hours, written boxfuls of e-mails to each other, and spent extended periods of time with each other on 3 separate occasions. We thank you for this wonderful opportunity and credit not only this site but God for bringing us together. COM, I have met a wonderful man on the site. We have been corresponding by way of email, phone, chat and quite a few visits in person. Needless to say, I feel it is necessary to cancel my membership because last Friday, June 21, 2000, he asked me to marry him! And of course I said yes! We will be getting married in October. He is a very caring, warm, beautiful person inside and out and he is a very devout Catholic. These are the qualities that I have been looking for in a man my whole life. I am so grateful for this site, because without it, I would have never met him. I had virtually given up on ever meeting someone I could be compatible with, much less marry someday. Just stay close to God, and try not to think too much about finding someone, if it is meant to happen, it will.. My prayers a
