They found God and true love - Real Love Story

“Marriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. It is Millions of tiny moments that create your love story.” Accords the French proverb

Today’s fast pace world of gadget freaks. Where meet-hit-forget is the prone tendency of youngsters, something called as TRUE LOVE still prevails. Only a glimpse of the loved one is a divine feeling, talking to each other once a week at the church is exploring each other’s genre. Such enduring is the love story of a 24 year old occupational therapist and 27 year old MBA who serves in an NGO;Annah Dobe (now Rehta) and Amit Rehta. (Not Real Names)

So Annah tell us about you and Amit:

Well I work as an occupational therapist where I treat people of all ages to help them overcome the effects of disability caused by physical or psychological illness, ageing or accident. Amit is an MBA in human resources he is currently engaged with an NGO in Bandra, Mumbai.

How did you and Amit come across?

I come from a god loving family in Nagpur. God has been an integral part of our upbringing. So when I came to Mumbai for pursuing my higher education my association with the church continued. It was on Sunday’s prayer service that I use to visit this church. Amit and I met there first.

Tell us about your drift towards Amit

Omg! I still get goose bumps when I recall…(laughs).Amit comes from a Guajarati family. He has been very passionate for Jesus Christ. Till 17 he was into his practices which he still pursues till day. He was one inquisitive teenager who wanted answers to all his inquests. It was only when he chanced upon the Christ his questions seemed to be answered and joined the common church. That’s what enchanted me towards him.

How did things get on a roll?

Hmmm…We were really the slow turtles to express hahahha! We met couple of times and exchanged email IDs only. It was once a month we would write to each other. No FB, texts, no numbers at all! This praxis prolonged for 3 years.(unbelievable). It was them he was called to address the masses in the church of Nagpur especially tender minds for- A motivational speech on his drive and passion for god. There after he met my family who already were fascinated by his charm and snowed away.

What happen next?

I called him over and explained the situation about my parent absolutely loved him. We discussed and thought of taking it further. Next was meeting my In Laws in Mumbai …I still remember I was so nervous.

“Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.” Believing in the above adage she further narrated:

Tell us about you dealing with In-laws and tackling cultural differences

Fabulous! Is the word for Amit’s parents now my in-laws. There dilemma or uncertain pertaining to our relationship and me washed off once they met me. They were happier to see us happy.

Rendering the cultural differences … (gasps for air) its only God and love that proliferates and braces our relationship not religion- Culture connects. It’s like ‘happy you - happy me makes happy we!’

We are married for almost 2 years now and practice respect and have faith in both the culture ..God being the epicentre of it.

The magnetism towards Amit:

The best part was he was touch me not kinds hehehheh(laughs) he would never touch me. Make me super comfortable. Just taking not even shaking hands….that’s what drew me. He never told me creamy things. His words “I love you because- your intelligent, loving and more over beautiful soul “marked the core of my heart.

Lastly key to your relationship

God has been a drastic solution for our relationship. That’s how we came along. A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers. We tend not to hurt one another. Marriage keeps you that way.
