How Did Brett Cooper Meet Her Husband? | Brett Cooper

“Falling in love with him and marrying him has felt so much like home” ❤

This is exactly how I feel about my husband. He said he was going to marry the first time he saw me, took me a little bit longer but the first day we spent together I felt so at peace and I just knew l.

[@CaptainDV]

First date with my wife, we had dinner, saw a movie, walked in the park, fell asleep on a park bench, and then watched the sunrise together. We then went to have morning coffee and breakfast and talked for few hrs. It was saturday and niether of us had work or wanted to part ways. We ended up at her place and took showers (separately) and then sat on her couch talking and watching movies. Eventually her friends invited her to dinner and she asked me to come with her. When she introduced me they asked if I was her boyfriend and before I could respond she took my hand and said yeah. I ended up crashing at her place on the couch(no sexy times), and we went to church the next morning. At lunch we were talking about us. We confirmed we were dating, and at some point, I blurted out that I wanted to marry her, and she said yes! We got the marriage license a week later and had a very small ceremony with only about 25-30 people and moved into her place because it was bigger than mine. We've been married for 10 years and have 2 kids with another on the way.

[@CaptainDV]

@mikel2976 we're pretty compatible, but love is a choice. One we both decided to make. It's a choice you have to make every day. Marriage isn't about compatibility it's about sacrifice, being there for each other, and building a life together. We didn't fall in love in 3 days. We found the person we wanted to marry in 3 days. We decided to love each other. Everything followed after.

[@ParkDari]

I don’t believe in love at first sight, except that it happened to me. We saw each other across a room and sought each other out. We had each found our fellow nerd. Both our families knew we would marry after the first family meetings. My husband took me home to meet his parents after 10 days. It was like coming home. 25yrs married 😊 and still crazy about each other.

He saw a Snapchat of me on his friends phone when we were 19, we went on a date & after that first date we knew we’d be married. 7 years later of marriage, we have two kids & are the happiest we’ve ever been.

It’s true that you will know your right person when you see them. I met my husband when I was hanging out at the mall with friends. Our mutual friends were dating and we just happened to be with them. (We had never met before) They ended up ditching us and we just walked around and sat on the furniture in Macy’s. He looks at me and says “would you like this couch for our house when we’re married?” I just looked at him and said “sure!” And we’ve been together ever since! 14 years married august 22. And 17 years together. We’re best friends and we can’t imagine life apart. We met at 19 and 20, we’re 36 and 37 now with 2 kids. People used to say not to get married young but I think it doesn’t matter what age you meet, you will know your other half immediately. (At least I did) ❤

[@flaminghead1va]

I don't know if I believe in that. If you do believe that, I'm guessing you have never really been in love before meeting your husband. because I thought I had found the right person, I was totally convinced we would be great together...and we WERE...but -plot twist- she was hiding information from me, and was technically married the whole time (but claims she didn't think that marriage would count legally). It's a long story and it deals with long-distance dating someone in another country. (and Yes, I met her in person on 2 different trips). TL;DR= my point is: you can have the feelings, but the person can be misleading/deceiving you the whole time. Not to mention, I don't believe there is only person destined to be your soulmate either. Only God knows that and I believe God can bless ANY marriage as long as God is involved as an authority in said marriage

I have been with my husband 37 years, married for 35. That is not at all how I felt. I was young and he was fun...and older. I had never dated someone more than a year older than than me, before him. I was dating someone else when I met him...dated both of them for a while, about 6 months. They both knew it, I never lied to either one of them. My "hubby to be" grew on me slowly. I had zero interest in settling down..I most certainly did not know when I saw him. I was having fun....boys were entertaining 😂. They did nice things for you and took you places. My long term plan as far as dating, was as long as what I was doing with who, the next weekend. 🤣. But by about 6 months, I knew I had to pick him and see where it would go. He knew much sooner than I did, but he was patient with me. A little less than a year later we were engaged. Best decision I ever made, but it certainly was not, love at first sight....or I knew right away type thing.

When we did finally meet, we were both single and it felt like the stars aligned. Within 3 weeks of dating, I knew I wanted to marry him. We've been together 11 years now, married for 8!

When I first met my husband there was this gavitational pull. Something about that tall, brooding emo dude in a trench coat 😅 (this was in the fall of 2010 and we were in highscool...) But we didnt even speak at first lol. After a week or so of texting a lot, he was my first kiss. But we lost contact. 3.5 years later (2014) this tall rather attractive blue collar dude came through my job. Again. Something about this man I couldnt shake. A friend of mine walked over with the guy and introduced him. It clicked. I told him I knew him.... he took me out for my birthday that year, now were married with 2 kids. Been marrid 8.5 years. ❤

This happened to my wife and I. Though not through work. We are members of a historical society. I had been involved in for some years. At the beginning of October she started attending weekly meetings for the group. We met and got to know each other a little and I learned she had sewing skills I lacked for making period garments. I asked for help and the last week of that October we worked on a sewing project together. The last weekend being Halloween, I asked if she wanted to go out to some haunted houses. She said yes. We just slotted in together like a hand into a glove. That was a bit over 35 years ago and we have been married for 32.

"Like going home". Now I know I'm not the only one that feels this way when talking about perfect relationship. I remember talking with my friend, discussing what a good relationship should feel like. And when explaining my view on the subject, I remember not being able to express the feeling through words. After some effort to explain, this was exactly the expression that came to my mind too: "for me, I imagine true love and relationship feeling like coming home", - I said. A shame I still haven't come home, and it feels like I never will.

I have so much respect for Brett for choosing not to say a word about who her husband actually is.

Go ahead and make your list of all the traits you're looking for in a partner. But once you meet the one, you can throw it out the window. Who you fall in love with has nothing to do with what you think you want, but how you feel around them, which you won't know until you meet them.

A year later something changed, I began to see him in a new light and then another girl was clearly flirting with him and I realized I could lose him and I told him how I felt and he said he never stopped liking me that way and we began dating immediately, engaged a year later and married for ten years.

My parents tell me that those small connections are God's way of saying y'all belong together. My parents first met on an army base in Japan as young children (like 5 years old) and met again in highschool in a US state that my dad's family never lived in before. They were dating before they realised they knew each other as young children. I thankfully got a taste of that. My husband and I have a 3 year mark of happenstances. First met when I was 9 and he was 12, again at 12/15 and knew each other until 15/18, then again at 18/21. We are now a family of 3.

Tip for you young folks: while it sounds nice to “fall in love” in two weeks, please take the vetting process seriously. She speaks like someone of her age, who has definitely not seen enough yet, I don’t blame her. Make absolutely sure by stress testing your relationship as much as possible (in a healthy way obv) before deciding you ever want to marry someone. Extremely important if you plan on bringing kids into this world

[@magnolia31611]

I know there’s alot of people that don’t believe in love at first sight, but having experienced it myself, it very much is real for some people. I was on my first day of work at a jewelry store. A couple of guys came in the store, one was looking for an engagement ring, and the other was his friend, and there for moral support. I immediately noticed the friend, and instantly felt that something was very different about him, but I figured that he had to have a girlfriend because he carried himself with confidence without being cocky. A couple of weeks later this guy called the store, and asked if he could speak to me, he wanted to know if it was okay to come in and formally introduce himself, and ask me on a date. Something about the way he said it just felt right to me. We went on a date, and here we are nearly 13 years later, have been married for nearly 11 years, have 4 beautiful children, and have build an amazing life together. Sometimes, it really is possible to instantly know that someone is the right person for you, and it’s unexplainable.

Both our husbands knew each other because they grew up in same neighborhood.

[@ItchyOuch]

I can’t say that she’s insightful as much as her stories parallel the tropes about falling in love with familiarity. They grew up in the same neighborhoods, went to the same schools, and were influenced by the same teachers, people and local events. Her signals and advice, imo, while legitimate in some ways, don’t necessarily translate to actionable advice based on her life.

[@colemanmonahan6146]

Similar thing happened with my wife and I, though not at first sight. We met 3 years prior but were in different life stages and not ready for each other. Fast forward to a deployment I was on, and she reached out to me towards the end of it, not looking to start a relationship. She was just encouraged by some of what I was sharing on FB about my journey of faith. Little did I know that God had brought us together. The day before she reached out, she had the idea to buy a tie and start praying for her future husband. While for me, the day before, I finally had an epiphany about being content being single and finding my image in Christ, after having gone thru a breakup before deployment and being dissatisfied and discontent the whole time. We were both finally in the right headspace, heartspace, and on the right path of faith. Shortly after we messaged back and forth, I knew she was the one, and the same for her. We got married a year later, and I wore the tie she bought. We are 6 years in with two kids, and love going thru the adventure of life together.
