Hi, I am Rachael.Im really excited to share the experience of our life together.Life was really beautiful after I met my Husband Samuel , a dental Surgeon.
Sam's dad and my dad were in college together and are very close friends too.Both joined work, got married, started families but eventually lost touch.After several years they met each other again when I was in my 10th grade.
At the same time, Sam joined college closer to the city where I lived, Chennai and my dad took responsibility as his local guardian.Time went by and we started liking each other.We prayed about the relationship and read the word of God ,told our parents about us.They were all happy about it .We got engaged in 2008 .And now its been 4 yrs since we got married.
We had our ups and downs even though we knew each other's family before.But our love for each other grew stronger as we had Christ as the reference point in our lives.We praise and thank God for enabling us to come together in this fashion, for without which we wouldn't have grown closer to Jesus.I thank Jesus for blessing me with wonderful husband like Sam. One thing that I have learnt through my marriage is that it was not by chance that we got united,it was God ordained even before we were born. So we need to pray well ,read his word and wait on the Lord and trust the one who wonderfully orchestrates our life.

Divided in Culture, United in Christ - Martha and Viju
My Pastor , Ps.Jaykumar saw Viju's profile and told my mom and sisters , and all at home .Initially mummy said no because he was from Mumbai. A north Indian who was very far away as we were from the South.But later my people said OK and our pastor arranged for a talk on the phone. We spoke and Viju said if this is God's will , it will happen. We will keep the matter in prayer.

"I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland" How do I know God's will? By Mercy and David
Mercy and David are Tamilians from South India. They have an adorable daughter called Hannah who is just over 2 months old and this is their story.
I have summarised my testimony in 3 levels.
1. Submission to Gods will
God prepared me to submit myself to His perfect plan. Though I was not against marriage outwardly but the married couples I have seen in the society and guys I have seen made me to built a strong wall in my mind that guys are not easy people to deal with and a wife will become slave after marriage. God had started speaking with me 3 years back about my marriage but I was not serious nor willing to get married. People who speak or walk close with me will not identify these things as these were my inner struggle against marriage.God also revealed me the place where he is going to keep me after marriage.
Our God knows how to change our mind. It was a time when all my friends left me alone one by one. I was left all alone and which was very tough. During these period God again started to deal with me regarding marriage. God was speaking with me through the below verses. He made me to realise that It is a sin to live on the past. He will bless me with a new thing. After which I submitted myself to God for marriage. My submission was like this. "I blindly submit myself for your plan in my life. I don't make any liking list. Even if the person you are showing is a drunkard I will still submit to you. I will be safe and secured in your plan."
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43: 18, 19"
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43: 18, 19"
2. Finding Gods will
This stage was not an easy one. After some struggle Got my hubby's profile. I prayed earnestly to know the will of God. I fasted and prayed for 3 days to know the will of God. On 4th day I got a dream but I dint understand its meaning. The only thing I could do in this stage is to again submitting myself to Gods will. Met my hubby on October 2nd 2014 and had a personal talk with him. I was unhappy in few things but I asked God again "Daddy is it your will for me? And it was a yes from God". We got engaged on October 4th 2014.
3. Confirming Gods will
I asked God for a word from him. I was asking God that "Daddy Am in the center of ur will? Please confirm me this alone so that I could rest on u" God gave Mr a verse from proverbs 4: 11, 12.
"I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble."

We were united by God for His great purpose and living happily.
Preetha's story - "The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
"The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." - 1 Samuel 16:7
I come from a South Indian Tamilian Christian family. I was 25 when got married and my spouse was 29years. It was an arranged alliance by common relatives.My idea of an ideal husband was a man with a good heart. I was not at all worried about the outward look.
Unfortunately all the men who came to see were disappointed with the color of my skin. I am dark skinned which is not sought after among Indian brides. Slim, tall and fair is how they usually define beauty. It was a difficult 3 to 4 years. Because of all the rejections I started developing a very low self esteem.
However, when God led me to my husband the people around me were able to see the hand of God upon it. God's ways are much higher than ours. I was blessed with not only a good man but also a handsome man.
I felt that God was telling me that I deserved more than my expectations.
God always gives His children the best. I am happily married for 20 yrs now and am blessed with two beautiful girls. In our culture Most people tend to see what we are on the outside but our Lord is only worried about what we are made on the inside. Praise be to God!!!!

In His Time, He makes All things Beautiful - In the words of Jessy
Ours is purely a arranged marriage. Being a Tamilian from a typical South Indian christian family, we were engaged in Oct 2003 and married in Jan 2004. During that gap we never spoke to each other. All went on well. As a normal girl even I had dreams of newly married couple would have. But it was all different, he was always with friends and worked late night as he was in the IT field.
All alone in Dubai, no one to share my problems, the only person I had was our dear Lord. I used to talk to Him like He is my father and share each and everything that's happening in my day to day life. I waited patiently at Lord's feet like Job in the bible. Because this life was chosen by Him and I strongly believed that He will never let me down. Many of our times would be fighting and we would have no peace at home. But God really did make a change with a MIRACLE in my life after 9 yrs.
We have been married for 11years. We weren't romantic nor spiritually together. We have never read bible or knelt down for a family prayer. The times that we come before the Lord is when my husband's mother visit us. I was really upset & worried that we are not only cheating my Mother In Law but also our dear Lord. Days rolled by and I was always praying for a change in my husband. Though I prayed to God for a change in him but never initiated myself to call him or make him understand the value of oneness in God through joint prayers.
But our dear Lord, never leave his children and as its always said that He comes in search for His children to turn to him. This He did make it happen as we were childless for 9 yrs. We went to doctors for many check up etc. And finally as the word of God says. He provides everything in His own time, He did make me speak to my husband at this right moment. To be blessed parents, we have to first cling to our dear Lord who can make everything possible.
There were lots of ups and downs during those time but God was on our side & made us His children. We started to kneel & pray together and once we started to have the spiritual closeness everything came in place. I got conceived and was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Till date I never understood how all this happened. What I was yearning for 9 yrs of my marriage, happened within a blink of an eye. By His Grace till date we kneel before our Almighty & thank Him in all that he does and gonna do in our life. We started to place Him amidst us in all doings and He guides us so beautifully.I praise and thank God for giving me such a beautiful family and we hope and pray that we always be a living testimony.
My learning from my experience is to obey our parent's choice. Never leave our dear Lord at any time. Hold on to Him until you get the blessing from Him like how we are to our earthly father. Always try to speak out your husband. If it's not possible or scared to speak, say a word of prayer and start the conversation and you will see wonders happening. Never forget to thank our dear Lord. Always thank him for each and everything that happens in life. Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen

A Marriage destined for Eternity - By Rev and Mrs Sunil Noah
I
met my future husband during my freshman year in college. He actually happened to be my neighbor,
although I had never seen him in almost two years since he and his family had
moved into the neighborhood. What
started off as a casual friendship soon bloomed into love. Being born and raised in the Indian culture,
it just wasn’t the right thing for a girl to have a boyfriend. To keep the relationship under wraps was
probably one of the hardest things I have done, thanks to the prying eyes of
neighbors, ‘well-wishers’ and almost the whole community! We got to meet rarely as he was living in a
different city, had no phones to continue a conversation, and yet, there was no
doubt in our minds that we were destined to be with each other. I have to be honest in saying that I had not
really prayed about this relationship as it was way too early for me to start
praying for a husband. But in
retrospect, I know that the Lord had chosen my husband for me and in His grace,
blessed me with a man who was not only my best friend, but my partner for
life. He had it planned long ago!
I
was raised in a Christian home, where my parents were fairly broad minded and
were not averse to the idea of a love marriage, which was not the norm. I have to commend my parents for that. In our culture, we fell in love to get
married. The dating concept did not
exist. When you realize you are in love,
it usually culminates in marriage. There
were no fears at all of whether the boyfriend would propose to her and ask her
hand in marriage. Of course that did not
stop breakups and heartbreaks! But
predominantly, it was assumed by everyone that if you are in love, you marry
that person. Usually, if a relationship
did not see the light of marriage, it was because of parental opposition and
societal pressure.
Since
my parents knew about the relationship I was in, when I completed my degree, my
husband’s family was invited over to formally ask my hand in marriage for their
son. We were married on May 28, 1987 and
28 years later, I can definitely say that my husband was the best thing that
has happened to me. We are blessed with
two beautiful daughters, one great son-in-law and an adorable year old
grandson. They say life is not a bed of
roses, nor is ours. We have had our
share of ups and downs, highs and lows, good days and bad days, but through it
all, we have never failed to see the hand of God in our lives. We dedicated our lives and marriage to the
Lord and He has been the head of our family.
Divorce or separation was not even a consideration. Yes, we have had arguments and disagreements,
but still I can surely say that my children have never had to worry even once
if their parents would separate. I
regret for some of the silly fights we’ve had for no particular reason, that we
had blown far out of proportion. While
they did not serve any purpose to us or to the family, reconciliation was
always extra sweet. That was the best
part!! I love the times when we would
laugh at the silly and stupid fights we’ve had.
No
marriage is perfect, and ours isn’t either.
Even 28 years later, we still have a lot to learn from each other and
also about each other. I have my utmost
respect and love for my husband, as he is my friend, mentor, companion and
Pastor. He makes me laugh, and at the
same time gives me a strong sense of security. We enjoy spending time together
with the Lord, worshipping Him, singing praises to Him and studying the Word of
God together. That is the key to our
marriage and to our relationship. But we also enjoy laughing together, and we
do that a lot!
The
promise that we had from the Lord right after we were married is, “My grace is
sufficient for you”. He has never failed
to keep His promise.
If
I have to relive my life again, there are a million things I would like to
change. But I would keep my
husband. After all, it was He who had
destined for us to be together for eternity.
The 3 years short of a decade wait
Every girl dreams of it since her childhood.
From the time she sees her beautiful mother and wants to be just like her
The time her father calls her his princess and is protective over her
The time she watches Disney movies and wants to be a real princess herself
The time she has her first crush
The time she has her first love...
She dreams of it. She dreams of her big wedding day.
And this is my story from the beginning to my beautiful big wedding day.
January 2008 - After all those post-adolescent troubles I had been through (I pity my parents) I was ready to be a mature woman for once (or that is what I thought). But, I never realized that the more I matured, the more the trouble there was for my parents.
90% of us Indians have an arranged marriage, with most of them being married off right from the ripe age of 21 to 24. And as of January of 2008 I was a born again believer, 21 years of age, and I had just newly stepped into this world of being a 'prospective bride'. Proposals would come and proposals would go, your profile would be rejected a few times and you get the joy of rejecting others too (That is how I saw it then). But little did I know that this journey that had begun then would last just 3 years short of a decade.
In the beginning of it all, I was asked to do two things. Coming from a God-fearing and God-honoring family I was asked to make a list of the things I would like in my future husband and secondly, to pray over the list. Obviously, looking back at my list I am so embarrassed at my silliness. (I have shared a picture of my list - Then and now). Back then my entire focus was on my family (how I want it to be and how I want him to be to fit my existing family). The only specific thing I had asked for in him was that he should sing or play the guitar. (Pretty sure Extreme's more than words caused this effect on me)
Anyway, my family and I met a couple of grooms and their families in this period and all the guy and I just did was giving each other super awkward looks while the families would gel and bond over south Indian filter coffee and common friends (All those who know what I am talking about say Aye!). Anyhow, by God's grace He blessed me with a very wise and smart family who not only prayed for me and pushed me to do the right thing, they gave me the freedom to veto a proposal. And despite having begun the process of praying for my marriage, by now, I was discouraged. It was close to the end of 2011 and I was so fed up and did not want anything to do with marriage.
Fast-forward to 2014 - By now I was in Chicago, living a single and beautiful life as a student of Moody Theological Seminary (another dream of mine) and obviously I had forgotten to pray for my marriage by now for many years. I did not want to, neither did I have to. But God did not let me sit quietly. January 1st 2014 I felt God nudge me in my prayers to seek Him in my marriage. He knew that I did feel lonely, especially being far away from home. He knew I was feeling the pressure of finding the right one as a older woman. He knew my insecurities in this topic. He knew every painful thing I had been through in life but still here He was pushing me to pray for my own marriage and thus, I did. My first conversation with God went like this. "Ok Dad, I know you want me to pray about it, but what should I pray? I have no clue. I cannot even stand to talk about it. You know me!" The process of praying continued and along with me was my entire family. My parents, my younger sister, my cousins, my aunts and uncles, room mates, and prayer partners. And now it was Summer of 2014 and finally I get to go back home to India. Wheeeeeeeeee!!! But by this time went back on my commitment to pray about my marriage while my family continued.
A couple of days after my arrival in India, the topic of marriage comes back again. At 3:00 AM while we are on a holiday in the midst of the Mudumalai forests my mother begins her saga "There is this guy called Satish. We (my entire family) have inquired about him (Yeah Yeah, FBI will probably lose hollow when compared to the investigations families do on the prospective bride and grooms and their families). He comes from a Hindu family but one who has been saved for 12 years. He is someone with a strong commitment to serving the Lord and in many ways of what we hear of him, he could be a perfect match for you". My reply to this "I am jet lagged and I am going to bed!".
First of all, this proposal had come through a matrimonial website and this made me furious!!! Satish, being the only believer in his family had sent up a profile for himself while my cousins (Priya and gang) had set up a profile for me which I had no clue about for a long time. But in this proposal I saw how my entire family was prayerful in seeking the partner for me. Each of them had their close walk with the Lord and together they sought God's wisdom for me. And thus started the conversation between my family and Satish and his spiritual mentors. My uncle , Rev C.A. Benjamin was the first one after Priya to talk to Satish and they both really seemed to like him. Finally, after about a week of praying about it Satish and I started talking to each other over text messages and telephone calls. He was in Philadelphia, USA and I was in India for the summer. There were times when I was close to saying NO to him (Satish can personally testify to this), not because I found something wrong with him, but for the simple reason that I was scared. I was scared that I will get hurt and I did not want that, but my family encouraged me to pray about it and they said that if I felt that God did not want me to go ahead with this, they will stand by me in this decision. This gave me a lot of confidence. Finally after about 3 weeks of communicating with each other of which most of the time I was trying to push him away, not once did Satish ask me what was wrong, or what is causing me to do or say those things. Out of curiosity, I asked him "How is it that not once have you asked why I am acting like this, especially knowing that I am trying to push you away?". He replied "I understand you could have been through a lot in life, but that is in no way going to affect my marriage to you. I will never inquire of those things but if you feel like sharing it with me, I am ready to listen." This is something to which I can attest to this day, that after being with this guy for 13 months now, not once has he asked me anything about the things I have felt shame and guilt over. Instead, he has helped me overcome all those fears with love. A process that still continues and grows everyday.
Yes, a week from the time he told me those words, Satish and I agreed to marry each other on the 13th of July 2014. He had flown into to Chicago when I came back to the states to see me, we met for a day and by the end of it our answers were a "Yes" to each other. Honestly, I did not find him attractive or handsome "then":-), I did not have any emotional connection with him, I just felt that He was a really nice guy and I did not find anything in him I can say no to. I felt that God was in this relationship, I felt His powerful hand upon this. And I knew I had my family and friends around praying for me and that I was not alone. That same night I prayed and asked God to help me fall in love with this guy someday and I did, soon after :-). We got married after 9 months of courtship on the 18th of April 2015 and before I came back to start our life together, my mother gave me this tiny and crushed piece of paper. It was the list I had written 7 years back,before it all began. My poor but wonderful mother has been praying over it for all these years and finally all our dreams came true, 3 years short of a decade late.
From the time she sees her beautiful mother and wants to be just like her
The time her father calls her his princess and is protective over her
The time she watches Disney movies and wants to be a real princess herself
