That is a really tough question!  Let's see.  I met my wife at fall semester registration and she wouldn't talk to me because she was "going" with someone.  Then I found her again with her girl friend while doing photographic coverage of a bomb threat against the university library.  I was a school photographer.  I found out where she sat at the SUB and went over there.  She would hide in the ladies restroom from me :frowning:  I just didn't get the hint  I talked my way into a group night out (eight of us give or take)and paired up with her :thumbup:   That night when she kissed me goodnight at the door of her house I was  :inlove:  about two weeks after Christmas and only three weeks from our first solo date, I asked her to marry me.  Two years and one months later (long engagement) we said the "I do's" at the Mansfield CoC in Mansfield TX.  That will be 30 years ago this Feb 15.:thumbup:  :inlove:  :bowsmiley:

My Mama picked him out for me.

(Goodness, dj, if that's so, then any number of chocolate bon bons are meant to be mine...)

Oh, I also figured he was the one because he accepted when I proposed.

Well, I first noticed him when we rode the same bus to school.  I was in 6th grade and he was in the 9th.  I thought he looked just like John Boy (from the Waltons TV show) and started calling him that.  Three years later we started dating when I was a freshman and he a senior, and I told him that I was the one who gave him that nickname.  He never knew who had started it.

We dated off and on while I finished high school.  Got engaged when I was a junior, called it off, back on again, then married in November after I graduated in June.  We'll celebrate 25 years this November, Lord willing.

At what point did I know for sure?  Not long after we started dating.  But then I was 14 going on 15 and knew everything!

:D

Never

Hey after reading the responces so far, guess there is no real pattern to it! But the fact that they close the deal .or say I do!  Seems to be the only sure thing!

I agree perhaps with Dave Johnson they are irresistable!
The one Im with now, I figured that because of distance etc, I should say good bye, but when talking with her , its the farthest thing from my mind!
And We are enjoying great times!I think this is the one! :talkingonephone:

The congregation near our college campus had a bus that would go through and pick up students.  She asked me to sit with her.  One thing leads to another.

I always thought she was cute, if a little young. Then we started sharing books. I thought of her as an equal. She was fun to be around and I could tell she liked me. I liked her too. I began to feel like she was different from other girls. In fact, I couldn't believe how perfect she seemed at times. We grew closer and closer (it's a slow process when you only see each other once a week). We started dating. I felt proud to have her on my arm. I moved to another city and we still grew closer. After dating for three years I got a job in the same city where she got a scholarship. I took it as a sign. I asked her to marry me. A month later, we were married. We've been married for five years. We're still growing closer.

I knew he was trouble...but then so was I. I met him, while waitressing at a truck stop in Vegas. I stood him up the first time he asked me out, knowing I didn't need that problem in my life. He didn't give up and his sacrasm was a draw. He wasn't a Christian and I my life was wild and fed up with men.

We lived together for a couple of weeks and he wanted to get married. I rededicated my life to God and told him to move out and that I would not marry him. The funny thing is he had gotten me to go back to church as he wanted me to settle down. He went to the elders of the church, to get them to convince me to marry him as a Christian friend said I had to, since I lived with him. Isn't that funny? He then came back and had found a relationship with God. I at first refused to believe it as I was not in love with him, but went to God with this thing that happened. I knew God wanted it, even though I balked at it.

We have been married now for over 19 years and he is the person I most admire in all the world. On our anniversary in October, he said that if he died that night, his life was full, because of the love he has for me. We went through years of my doubting him and tons of troubles from the past, but Jesus holds all things together and has proved Himself to me. I held on when others would not have and am blessed for it.

I don't think I "knew" my wife was the one for me before we married.  I worried about tons of things; all I knew was that I loved her.  Now, after 15.5 years, I consider myself one of the luckiest men on earth.  The years have taught me that I do in fact "know" that she was the one; the mere thought of living for a second without her rips my heart out.

My story is not the ideal, but I decided to tell you anyway.  I met my first husband in high school.  We had two great sons and a twenty-one year marriage. He was a deacon in the church. He took off with a younger woman.
I met my second husband on a March for Jesus.  We were married three and a half years.  He died of cancer.
Tom and I have now been married two years.  We met when I was asked to share my story at a Divorce Recovery group at a local church.  I had been widowed for about two years when we met and I had no intention of ever marrying again.  Didn't want to risk again having the kind of pain you experience when you lose a spouse.  Figured twice was already once too much.  He said, that's fine, we can just be friends and go out to eat and go to church together. Two months later we were married.  Very good decision.  He's a great guy and has blessed my life immensely.
Hey, you know all those verses in the Bible that promise God will be with you and work things out and that He will take care of you and never leave you and that He has a plan for your life?  Well, they're all true!  Amazing Grace!

I met my husband through a singles publication advertised in the Christian Chronicle, The Singles Odyssey. He was the only add I answered. He said he was an evangelist . He drove out 905 miles (16 hours) , from Michigan to Massachussetts, almost non-stop, to see me , leaving Sunday night and then had to drive almost non-stop to get back for Wenesday night worship. He was a preaching in Cheboygan , Michigan.  
The girls at work told me I should marry him.  I knew anyone who would drive 905 miles to see me must be pretty special.  We have been married almost 12 years, with two children now, ages 91/2, and 8.

I first met my wife at the church group we called yoyos.
(your only young once).
She then found me again in my usual place at the end of the bar in my local Pub.
Thankfully she took me away from there and married me :clap:
