I met my husband in highschool- we're the same age (he's 3 weeks older), but he was in the class above mine. He was in band (saxophone player) and I was in choir, and the whole music department loaded onto a bus and drove to a bigger city for this huge competition. He ended up sitting with a friend in the seat right in front of me and my best friend.
He drove me nuts. Was totally irritating the whole way, making lame jokes and throwing food and basically being a teenage boy.
Fast-forward 2 years, and I started seeing him and his friend leaving the campus for lunch every day. I couldn't leave, I didn't have a car or any money anyway, but every time I saw them, I'd ask him for a dollar so I could go to the caffeteria and buy ice cream.
He gave me a dollar. Every. Time.
He eventually asked me out, and I went to a movie with him, and 3 months later, I got married...to someone else...
Obviously that ended. So then, I went to the mall with my cousin one day so she could check out a craft fair going on, and I got bored with it so I went to sit outside. Suddenly there was this super tall guy in a McDonald's uniform standing in front of me, saying hi. We made small talk for a few, then he had to hurry and get to work, and I figured that would be the end of it, but he turned around and asked if I'd like to stop by and visit with him on his lunch break later.
I went, and from there he asked me to a movie. A little over a year later, we got married
As for the other part of the question...well, I honestly wasn't entirely sure I'd married the right person. For a long time. It wasn't until just recently that I realized D'oh! He's the right one. And I really can't explain how I know, except that God has been doing a lot of work in my heart and in his and in our lives in general

In my very early 20's my girlfriend twisted my arm (metaphorically) to go somewhere with her. Once there, she actually, physically pulled me over to him, (neither of us knew him), while whispering to me that he was the one for me (lol). She was right. We fell in love and planned our futures. Unfortunately we were naive, trusting and respectful of authority types. We were torn apart by lies (evil lies). We were apart for 27 (lonely and sad) years. Only to reunite and marry, which we are now, happily. God is Good!

I literally fell for my wife. I was playing soccer in my dorm hallway knowing one of my friends had some girls coming over. I tried to step over the ball, stepped ON the ball and fell on my butt. I looked up and there she was.
We were both dating other people, but we kind of knew there was something unique about each other. We both broke up with our significant others and started dating shortly thereafter.

I have a funny one
I met my husband while I was in high school, he was in college. My friend and I went to a get together and he was there with his buddies. He had a big lifted truck (we ARE from Georgia) and I thought it would be fun to drive. Now mind you up until this point at I had only drove small front wheel drive cars.
My friend, my husband and I pile in his truck so I can drive it, everything is going great and then I hit some sand piled on the road, spin the truck and land in the ditch!! His whole front end is mangled and now I am scared to death of this guy I had met moments earlier! He walks up to me after looking at the damage; stands in front of me for a few seconds.... and then hugs me! He says "Everything is okay, no one got hurt."
A few weeks later he tracks me down and asks me to go out on a date with him, he had to borrow his cousin's truck to take me out because his was still in the shop getting fixed to the tune of $7,000 worth of damage! After the date my mother was waiting up for me to ask how it went and my reply was "Mama, I am going to marry that boy one day." She told him that on our wedding day
That has been 14 years ago and he still values people over things in every way and I love him so. He tips waitresses well, holds the door for all ladies, would give someone in need the shirt off his back. In the 14 years I have been with him, he has hugged me and said, "It's all okay" every time something happens that scares me. My wish is that everry person could know a love like he has shown me!
To the singles, wrecking an interest's vehicle is probably not the best ice breaker!

I had been praying rather intensely for a wife, and it seemed like the Lord was telling me I would meet her that month, but I wasn't too sure about that. I met a woman when I visited a Bible college in the Asian city I was living in. After our first conversation, I went home and prayed about whether this would be my wife. She went home and wrote a prayer in her journal about us being together. She showed me that after we got engaged.
I'd pray about it and it would seem like the Lord was saying yes when I'd ask if she was the one for me to marry. After a while, it seemed like He was saying, "Yes, why don't you believe Me?" One time, she got upset about something on the phone while we were talking and it didn't make sense to me that she'd get upset. So I prayed about it, and it seemed like the was telling me this story about her background that explained why what I'd said upset her. The next time we talked, she told me that story. I think I learned a lot about hearing God's voice during that time.
I had a couple of older married friends telling me how to just make decisions after praying and reading the Bible and trusting God to lead me in the right way. One of them said if he made a decision like that after praying and it wasn't right, he wouldn't have peace about it and he'd have to change his mind. So I eventually prayed and listed all the reasons why I believed she was the one for me to marry and said I was going to propose. I told the Lord if He didn't want me to do it to let me know or stop me. Otherwise, I was going to propose. After that, I was 100% sure of it and didn't have doubt about it. I just knew.

Thank you, tourist. Yes, God is Good!!! Didn't quite enjoy the 'wait' of it all, but it did pass, as all things do.
Question please...
When you say 'time will tell and this seems to be true for you'... are you referring to the concept that when, throughout so much time, we still feel that we are married to the right person, then it's the right person? Or what exactly do you mean, please?

We were in college together, but in totally different courses in different parts of the building. He knew me as the wild, crazy musician, and I knew about him as "the Christian." But it wasn't until Feb. that he needed a ride home, and a mutual friend asked if I would take him in my car that we were introduced.
He cracked a joke, and I laughed, and our eyes met! There was a HUGE spark!
But he backed off, because I wasn't saved. His goal was to witness to me, but he was too shy to really talk to me. He was always late for the bus to school, so I would save him a spot on the bus. I would talk at him, and he would just sit there next to me quietly for the 1/2 hour ride. I imagine he was praying for me!
The year ended, and we were going our separate ways. He was going on a job interview to a big western city, where I wanted to check out the university, to continue my education. A bunch of other people were supposed to come along but didn't. On the way home, I told him about some bad experiences I had, and how the devil had done evil in my life. He told me I needed to repent of my sin (in the nicest way!) and then Jesus spoke to me, and I was saved.
After that, we realized that we wanted to spend our lives together, and 33 years later, we are still in love and serving Jesus.
The lesson to be learned is that you should not marry an unbeliever, but instead, pray for that person to be saved! God knew who I needed for a life mate, and he also knew that I needed to know him even more!
