A Christian Dating Valentine’s Day Story You Couldn’t Make Up

Some love stories come with a twist God seems to have planned all along. Kiên and Thao met on SALT in the UK and later discovered they share a birthday — the 14th of February. Valentine’s Day. Here’s their story, in their own words.

Kiên and Thao’s Story

My name is Kiên, and thanks to the wonderful Christian dating app SALT, my girlfriend Thao and I have met. Our story was truly written by God, and we are thankful to have found each other amongst the busyness of life.

Fun story: it took me one year to find Thao after a series of unsteady, complicated dates, whereas for Thao, it only took one day to meet me on the app! God works in very funny ways, we must say, and for some reason me and Thao share the same birthday — both on February 14th, Valentine’s Day.

We are very thankful to the creators for connecting us on the app; we wouldn’t have been able to meet if it weren’t for SALT. We are in the process of preparing for engagement this summer and looking forward to sharing our story as the Lord wills!
