When we sit down and think about how this wonderful relationship came to be, we often ask the question, why didn't this happen sooner? We always knew of each other, because our siblings have been together for quite some time (My brother married his sister). When we ask the question though, we realize that the timing was just right, God put us together at just the right time. Of course, we became connected through social media as most people do. I started messaging him first. Once we started talking though, we never stopped. We have been through many obstacles, as most couples go through. Some larger than we would have liked, but through it all we have never stopped loving each other, and our love for one another has grown stronger and stronger. We cannot wait to continue this journey together and become the Mateer Family.
