I see a lot of threads about smashing and hooking up but I don't see many threads about successful relationships.
How we met: My wife and I got married in this past December after 4 years of dating (got engaged in August 2019. We met when we were kids, I was 11 and she was 9. We both attended a church camp in the North Georgia mountains.
We went to different schools so I only saw her at summer camp, we were friends but nothing romantic. We both went to that camp until we graduated high school. After that we lost contact for about a decade.
We didn't reconnect until 2015. I was in the Navy at the time and I was stationed in Bremerton Washington and she had accepted a job in Seattle. I didn't even know she lived near me until I saw her RSVP to an event on Facebook. I sent her a message and we agreed to meet up at a bar and the rest is history.
Keys to success: I think having a solid spiritual foundation to stand on is helpful as well as having good communication. I think it's easy for people to bury their heads in the sand and avoid problems, in the hopes that they fix themselves but they usually don't. Just tell your significant other, it'll make things easier in the end.
