A lot of Catholics don’t think marriage is worth it and are discouraged by dating

How about you guys cheer us up and help us have hope

Married CAFers, how did you meet your current spouse? Family Life
We’ve had a lot of debates on here how people should meet their spouses. So here’s the question - for those of you who are actually married, how did you meet? And what did you do between meeting your spouse and getting married that you think has an impact on your marriage now?

Fifty years ago, I was in Nursing school. In Friday’s after Psychology, we’d catch a bus to FT.DIX. USO dance. He was a Pvt in the Army. He was from Ireland w a cute brogue. He was suppose to meet my classmate DUFFY (American Irish). He saw me and skipped Duffy. Now, we fell in love, at first sight. He told his friend, he was going to marry me. I told my classmates on the bus home, I was going to marry him. Neither one of us told the other one.
SMILE. Our third Fri night, he gave me a note in Gaelic, to find out its meaning.I figured it said “I love you”. It was hard finding a translator. Yes, I was right. We met in October. Went STEADY on New Years eve. This is funny—He asked me to marry him on April fools day. He said he was kidding but I took him seriously. CHUCKLE!!
We were married in Aug. He was going to Viet Nam. My wedding band was in their safe. It went! They cancelled his deployment b/c he wasn’t an American. Never saw the wedding band. They sent him later b/c they needed bodies to shoot. They didn’t have pre-Cana classes back then.They didn’t have car seats for kids back then. All long marriages have a few sad chapters. But, we have a pen to write the next chapter in our BOOK OF LIFE! Never say DIVORCE! Say FIX IT.
Don’t start a marriage w limits. I’ll divorce you if you’re a drunk or if unfaithful, etc. Adultery is a symptom of a problem. It’s,usually, b/c he is insecure. My husband felt dirty after combat. He felt he didn’t deserve a family. NO WOMANwas going to ruin my family(4kids). I found them and uninvited them in our lives. FOR BETTER OR WORSE!! Abuse is a different story. Your life is not to be in danger. You can’t remarry x for adultery. Frank Sinatra’s wife never remarried.
Rethink God! What does He say!DO IT!
We are not sex toys. Having a wild orgasm is not lovemaking or a thing that will get you into heaven. God is God! Sex is not god. Keep your mind, soul and body pure. Don’t go to worldly movies or listen to worldly music. If you get butterflies in your stomach and your married. It’s LUST not love. Stay away from temptation.
God bless you. I know some will not agree but the way, I lived was God’s way. My sins were not in my marriage. I’d share but no room.

I was a novice in the Dominicans in Ireland and came across a post on this website that I answered. It was from a Latvian girl who had converted to the faith and had some questions. I left the dominicans after a year or so as I discerned that it wasn’t for me but I kept in contact with the girl. We often prayed the rosary together as her family were not catholic and she didn’t have anyone to pray with. She invited me to Latvia to go on a pilgrimage to the national shrine to Our Lady. I went in August 2014. We got on very well and she visited me in Ireland. I proposed to her at the shrine of St. Valentine in Dublin on Easter Saturday, 4th April 2015.
We got married in Ireland in October 2016.

She is my best friend and just so much fun to be around, that’s all. I love her company and her conversation, and the silent moments in between.

I’m married and I’m discouraged by dating, it seems a lot of unrewarding effort and if something happened to my husband I would probably stay single.

I met my husband at university church on campus which meant we both had lots of time to hang out and get to know each other in a non pressured way. I couldn’t even say how we first met but we were probably acquainted over a year before we started dating. I don’t know if we would have got together if we met either at school or as working adults to be honest.

I love him because he is a genuinely good honest person who brings out my better side.
 
LOL

Met my Irish husband online…chatted and Skyped for 2 years, then traveled to Ireland to visit. He proposed on day three.
After my first husband committed suicide, he is a breath of wonderful fresh air, humor, and sweetness.
He loves my daughters and they love him. 💖💖💖

I was going to be a Franciscan nun. I’m inclined to think, I should have been. I do love my husband. I think if I had tried the convent, Ibeouldnt have that OOPS FEELING!
Still looking bing God & trying to serve Him in little ways.

I met my husband during a summer job we both had. He taught me a computer program we needed for the job. That was about 26 years ago.

I love him because he’s a good, decent man.
 
My husband and me met at university. We both studied the same, he as master, me as bachelor, short before we were done. I saw him before and was curious who he was, but I had several years spent in a really bad relation ship before and was all for “only university, no dating”. A friend of mine still took he and me to our weekly lunch at the mensa and we talked for hours. We went out and visited a museum we both like very much and again, hours of good talking. After that, he was too shy to call right after, as he thought I would reject him. So I sent him a message and (like my best friend used to say “absolutely sober and unromatic message sheldon cooper could have sent”) told him I like him and if there´s a perspective.
We got married 1,5 years after this message was sent 😉
I do love him because he is humble, kind and gave up alot for me. I felt pure and worthy in his presence since I met him, I never knew this from any other man I ever met.
 
Yeah. Apparently it’s the actual bones of St. Valentine there. I was trying to decide where I would propose and I went in to that Church in Dublin city centre one afternoon and spotted the shrine.
