text: Wow! Well it sounds more complicated than what it probably is. \n\nMy friend, a regular pioneer, met a guy who she really liked. However, he was only studying and she knew the rules and kept her distance. As time went by, this guy of hers got baptized and about 3 weeks ago they got married. She too is 19 and they are very very happy.\n\nI wouldn't steryotype internet encounters. Several of my friends, who are also witnesses have only met through internet, but we talk about spiritual and uplifting things. Two of those friends I might not meet in this system of things as they are missionares and are off on the other side of the world. But had it not been for internet, then we would have never had an exchange of encouragement.\n\nAn elder, a long time ago, liked a girl. She wasnt a witness so he proposed himself to study with her family. He did and as the years went by and the family learned the truth and got baptised, he married the sister. Tghe sister is now a regular pioneer and unfortunately, he passed away to cancer. But they had kids and lived a happy marriage. She is now awaiting her resurrection.\n\nEither way, notice how these people met their future mate before one of them was baptised. \n\nMy advise is wait until you get baptised but make sure that he is spiritual. You can do this by contacting the elders in his congregation and asking them. Perhaps after you are done taking that first step.\n\nWelcome aboard and if things work out, I wish you a happy marriage.
