(Sabatini’s Version)
I met Jonathan through a free dating app called CDFF. At the time, I really wanted to have a partner, but my activities weren’t within a community that shared the same values, which made it hard for me to find that opportunity. I started to feel tired and decided to send a message—one last attempt to find someone. But if it didn’t work, I was ready to surrender everything to God. I thought, “Whatever kind of partner God gives me, I’ll accept it.”

And then I met Jonathan. He had written a very interesting bio. Among other things, he said he was an Adventist and that he had once walked down a troubled path but decided to return to God. I thought to myself, “Wow, this man is amazing.” He described himself openly and in detail, without shame about where he had been. In that moment, I thought, I have to win his heart.
