Bonnie and Jay were not looking for love when they met on a blind date set up by mutual friends. Both were survivors of divorce and both had not only taken time to heal, but were very comfortable with being single at this point in their lives.

Prior to their first meeting, each had made healing from previous marriages a priority. However, they had taken two very different paths rebuilding their lives. Faith was central for both. Bonnie became involved in a mission out of Ireland called Direction for Our Times. Jay had gone through the Co-Dependency Anonymous 12-Step Programs.

From their individual methods, both learned the importance of honesty and trust. Clarity was achieved in what they wanted/needed in a partner if it was in God’s plan for them. Established boundaries were in place. Neither was willing to compromise their values.

It is these summations of their individual journeys to healing the authors want to share, praying others will have a marriage beyond their wildest dreams. A marriage with purpose and passion, harmony and happiness, NO MATTER WHAT!
