In 2008 there was a longterm thread in Catholic Answers Forum where members who were single but hoped to be married to a good Catholic spouse.
I recall at least three couples who found each other in CAF and married
For me the most poignant instance is of a lovely young woman who prayed almost daily for a growing list of members. I asked her to add my son’s name, as she was so generous with her prayers for others who posted prayers on the thread.
Well, she’s my sweet daughter-in-law now, the kindest gentlest wife my son could have hoped for in his life.
Yes prayer can lead people to their future spouse.
My son was reserved but lonely. Before I found this thread in CAF, I’d been praying, “Lord, if there’s anyone in the world who would truly love my son and whom he would truly love, please help them find each other.” God (perhaps humorously) chose to answer that request literally, because my son’s future wife chose to emigrate from her home In America to marry my son in Australia and make her home with him
We thank God for answering her prayer and ours. My daughter-in-law has all the qualities my son prayed for.
May God bring together those whom He wishes to bring together.

She’s beautiful,
but having been through a great deal due to a girlfriend who was not kind, not loyal, not honest, foolish, athough attractive,
what gives him happiness is his wife’s deep love for him, and her compassion, wisdom, loyalty, kindness, honesty, and her caring for his loved ones, who are now also hers.
The great thing about that, is that her qualities, being more imprortant to him that her pretty face and lovely eyes,
so that even when they are old and she shows wrinkles on her perfect face, he will continue to love her for her compassion, her wisdom, her loyalty, her kindness, her honesty,
and her caring for his loved ones. For her self, not her external appearance. Her genuine love for him and his for her will outlast any physical attributes.
Thank God!

Was she more beautiful than his previous girlfriend you mentioned?

When I was a kid I couldn’t understand why elderly people looked so old fashioned even facially, young people were so hip by comparison. Then I aged too and I began to understand how we morph as we age. Sad but inevitable and yet another illusion in this world of mirrors.
The beauty of a person can shine through their physical attributes, if and when you find your match @wilshire (assuming you haven’t?) you’ll find the character and personality of that person is far more important and those factors animate the physical you see before you.

You really need to stop being so shallow. This is the second thread where you have unnecessarily asked someone about another person’s looks.Was she more beautiful than his previous girlfriend you mentioned?
Read Trishie’s posts. Really read them. Outward appearances do not matter. It is what is in someone’s heart that people love.
