Hi. I was given the idea for this thread by Just sayin.
Can everyone please add stories of hashgacha pratis that specifically relate to shidduchim.
I cut and pasted this story. It was posted by just sayin
I know a guy who was older about 25 and he was sort of done with dating girls fresh out of seminary for any number of reasons. So at that point in time he had two girls redt, one was 22 with a job and seemingly older more mature and the other was 19 and fresh out of seminary. so he decided to go out with the 22 year old the logical choice who was a 4 hour drive away. bikitzur two days before he was going to drive there he broke his leg and the other girl (19 year old one) happened to be in town . . . now they are happily married. point of the story is when its supposed to happen it will happen with the right person. people get wrong information forget to call certain ppl etc etc there are so many stories out there.
Went I was going out, as we all do, I had certain aspects I would say no to in a spouse without a second thought. Well, when I was read my spouse, I said no for a very many number of reasons. My ‘adopted family’ heard about it, called the references and insisted I go out. Today, we are happily married. I owe my marriage to their interference.
This is a bit backwards (as in I am happy it DIDN’T work out) but here is the story:
Being that I never had a shidduch suggested before nor did I have any sort of talk, when the first shidduch came up things were being done all wrong (I was getting personally involved and didn’t tell everyone that I was supposed to). After a bit (couple of weeks) I had a feeling something wasn’t right and I spoke it over with someone and boy was I in for a shock! Once I was explained to how things were supposed to be done I called the shadchan very nervously (she is a close friend of my family and she was suggesting her cousin so I didn’t want any hard feelings going down) to see where/if things had advanced to see how complicated it would be to have at least a pause if not a full stop put to everything so I could restart the proper way. Turns out the girl was busy anyway so no hard feelings and I get to start again this time properly.
😀 yossi 😀
happiest: do really old stories count?
I posted a couple a few weeks ago on the nightly d’var Torah thread.
