Jennifer Terrell & Steve DeWitt
“This is my last sermon as a single man.”
“This is a message that I have waited 44 years to give,” pastor Steve DeWitt told Bethel Church in Crown Point, Indiana.
His congregation immediately knew what he was talking about and started to cheer.
He told them anyway, to shouts, claps, and whistles: “This is my last sermon as a single man.”

Wrong Number Text Gone Right
This woman texted a Bible verse to the wrong number but the guy on the other end of the message replied and now they're married with six kids...
Elisabeth Elliot & Addison Leitch
The miracle that could never happen.
The miracle that could never happen happened in 1969 when I remarried. I had thought it was a miracle to marry the first time. To imagine a second was beyond me.
Elisabeth Howard & Jim Elliot
“I think we need to get squared away how we feel about each other.”
Just before our graduation, he took me out for a walk and he said, “Bet, I think we need to get squared away how we feel about each other.” I was floored! I almost went through the sidewalk because I didn’t know Jim had any feelings for me.
Elisabeth Elliot & Lars Gren
“You have every right to ask me to leave.”
I wasn’t stringing him on. My mind was totally closed to the possibility of a third marriage. I thought, “This man could not possibly be serious.” He was just a very kind, polite, southern gentleman…
Lexi & David
“He stole my spot.”
My sister and I headed into the Saturday night service as usual. However, things did not go as planned. When we went to our normal seats we found that someone else was sitting there. We were rather incredulous. Everyone knew that THESE were OUR seats. We settled on sitting directly behind the fellow who stole our spot. Thus for an entire service I stared at the brown hair of my future husband…
Lisa & Matt Jacobson
“Not if he was the last man on earth!”
Maybe it’s not all that unusual of a story. Single girl meets single guy. Starts with a letter. Ends with a kiss. Just another love story. Except maybe for the part where we decided to marry six days after we met.
Wai Jia & Cliff
a foundation of radical faith
Once a deep skeptic of love, Wai Jia's world was turned upside down when Cliff, a liver cancer survivor and IronMan Finisher entered her life.
When Cliff’s liver crisis challenged their decision to marry, it was excruciating.
Becca & Nick
I think it started with the cookies…
Getting a little homesick one day, I attempted to make chocolate chip cookies in my “easy bake.” Since there were only two other girls in my apartment, and I’d made an overabundance, I decided to share my cookies.
Laura Alice & Claude Jr.
I always knew he’d come back.
He officially asked in the fall of 1941. A moment’s bliss—and then the war. Grandma’s eyes always grew misty when she got to that part in the story. Granddaddy was one of the first to go, and one of the last to return.
Bonnie Kate & Max
God took something that was meant for evil…
…there are girls out there worth fighting for still and there are guys out there willing to fight.
Brittney & Andrew
With no hesitation.
My brother had just joined the army… I knew I wouldn’t see him for months, and would hardly hear from him either. I hated to see him go, but I was so stinking proud of him. I said goodbye. I watched him drive away. And I knew at that moment, my life was going to be the life of a woman loving and supporting a military man. Something told me that Gabe would someday bring a soldier buddy of his home to me.
The End.
The End.
