Winning The Battle

I put this relationship in Our Lady's hands...

I

met Iryna elsewhere, but it was Catholic Match that at least taught me

to be persistent. It takes patience, prayer and discerment to find the

right person.You must meet them, spend time getting to know each other

and learn to be patient in any relationship.

My wife Iryna had

many suitors chasing her, but I was honest, straightforward and tender

towards her, and won her heart. She was from the Ukraine so I would

advise anyone looking to another country that you are in for a long

ride, with travel, immigration, visas paperwork etc. It is not for

everyone, but if you are lucky you can find a real "pearl of great

price". Prayer was my anchor, I put this relationship in Our Lady's

hands and she led me to my wife.
