How I Met Your Father: 6 Amazing Stories of how Couples Met their Significant Other
Good Tuesday Icons,
I pray all is well with you in life, love, marriage and family.
We are so excited for the work that is to come to help 10-20 couples have the kinds of Iconic marriages that last for 25 plus years and beyond.
So, today’s topic is one of encouragement.
We often hear about the breakups, divorces or the pain that comes with relationships.
But how often do we hear from the happily married? Not too often. People think that is. boring.
Yet, to reverse our dismal divorce stats we need these people to start talking about their marriages to be an example for others.
It will help those who are wishing for love to see it is possible.
Before we jump into today’s post, I have exciting news:

How I Met Your Father: 6 Amazing Stories of how Couples Met their Significant Other
I love the story of how my husband, and I met. And I will add tidbits throughout today’s post to tie in to the other 6 beautiful stories you Icons shared with all of us on my Twitter page, you can also see when you click my Tweet.
My Spouse and I met in the United States army in the 82nd Airborne Division. I was assigned to G company and just so happened he was there. We did not become instantly in love. It developed for us over time. And I am glad it did.
Story 1: Mutal Meeting
Just like this guy told her ex, I was already with someone when I met my husband. So, we were just co-workers. And after the fall out of my ex and I, he had someone else. So instead, we were just great work friends and platonic soldiers doing our mission and being encouraging during physical fitness training and our mission.
Story 2: Being around each other.
We were schedule to go to Iraq that July in 2007 and our leadership team decided to put the communications soldiers, two of them, in the same platoon as me. And since I wasn’t doing my job as a cook, I was set to do admin in the same platoon. That put my husband and I in the exact same squad for the training leading up to deployment. That means we spent a lot of time getting to know each other, seeing each other’s flaws and quirks. If anyone knew the real me or him, it was us. Still, we didn’t know love was in the air.
Drew Continues….
How awesome…
I have known my husband since 2007 too.
“My husband is my best friend, my greatest support, my biggest comfort, my strongest motivation, my truest smile, my deepest love, my favorite, my forever. He has me. Entirely.”
Story 3: Work Hook Up
We always joke in emails and talk through text, but it was always platonic. People probably thought we were together long before we actually were. But out of respect for his relationships and/or mine. We stayed friends and that’s how we got to know each other so well.
Story 4: Remained Friends
We hung out with other friends at our job who were in our section and others of the same rank at the movies and stuff. I dated other guys; he dated other girls and even was married before. And yet, us becoming a couple did not dawn on us for four entire years.
We survived a deployment and even came back from that 1st one and still no relationship. And that was okay. Pinky was a good friend, and I was too him.
Story 5: On the road.
One-time during our 2007/2008 deployment to Iraq, the commander let some of us who weren’t really assigned to go out of the Forward Operating Base (FOB) so we can experience what it was like. It was my turn. And I went to Pinky to tell him because I was excited. He said he was assigned to go too. Hey, they thought I needed him next to me for everything! I was a little disappointed but now years later we can tell our kids that mom and dad actually were on convoys together. A road trip we will never forget.
Story 6: Work Friends
He finally wrote me a note for us to go out after our second deployment and the rest is history. We are coming up on 12 years of marriage with two children. Never would I have guesses we were together, we could have saved time and just hooked up instead of going out with different people.
This is how I met their father. Two U.S. soldiers joined in love.
Key Take Away for an Iconic Marriage
Who knows why things happen and maybe for us the time we shared as just best friends made us fall in love deeper, slower and get to really know what we were getting ourselves into.
You might have the love of your life in your circle every day and you are not aware because you aren’t conscious of those around you in that way.
You can have the marriage of your dreams and it will be Iconic.
Iconic Formula for Marriage Success
We are moving into doing more for couples!
New Iconic eCourses are coming to empower couples to build the foundations of a successful marriage.
Many people fall in love. But most do not have the training to have a successful marriage that is for the long-haul. They say things about growing out of love, changing or evolving that have absolutely nothing to do with lasting a lifetime.
Instead, we will train/teach/motivate couple that through such changes, the relationship remains intact.
And it will be great!
Yet, we cannot do it alone.
We need you to support this work with $10 or more and you will receive a new eBook written by me.
One way you can donated is to click the button a below. All donations to Iconic will benefit our new training of 10 to 20 real life couples to maintain a healthy marriage for the next 25 years and beyond.

Our eCourses will help lay the foundation for these couples and help them do the work to win.
