Shane and Sharicka had something in common long before they ever met—both were very busy with work and family. And both saw online dating as the most efficient way to meet new people while fulfilling their personal responsibilities.
One day, Shane noticed that Sharicka had viewed his profile. He checked out hers, liked what he saw, and sent her an email. “We hit it off from Day One,” Shane remembers. What impressed him the most were her smile and evident intelligence. She felt the same way about him. They even shared an interest in mixed martial arts!
The couple’s first date was at a Chinese restaurant. As their conversation touched on various topics, Shane wasn’t sure what kind of an impression he was making. “Sharicka thought I was a radical nut,” Shane jokes. “However, we met for a second date. Now we are married!”
Having made that lifelong commitment, the couple look forward to a long and happy future together. They feel they are a perfect match—best friends and soulmates—so they’re very glad they took time out of their busy schedules to look for love online.
What an adorable couple. I wish you all the happiness in your future together.

The “Fighting” for the Love has to do with their shared interest of martial arts. It’s a play on words.

Hey there, this is one half of the happy couple. My hubby came across this posting. I never imagined life being THIS complete. Shane is truly God sent. We appreciate the support flowing in. We’ll be going on a year of marriage this August. I can’t say enough about how lucky I am. We are best friends and lovers…it’s a good thing! We are both professional and deeply devoted to one another. @ checkit, the generational gap is nothing compared to the ignorance gap you choose to showcase for all to see. We are happy and content beyond our wildest dreams. I truly hope that each of you find happiness.

You sound happy and satisfied. On a different not – This comment is poorly worded – “I truly hope that each of you find happiness.” It does not mean people wanting to find a soulmate have not found happiness.

We are very happy. It’s a little comical, however, to comment on one’s wording with errors in your comment. I did not mean to imply that happiness is based solely on the ability to find a spouse or partner. My wish for happiness stems from a purely holistic sense and doesn’t need to be taken so literally. I might have been able to say, “I wish you all well” and you still would have over-analyzed that I meant to say that people in search of love are somehow ill or not well. At the end of the day, life is always better with a good partner. I’m sure that we can both agree with that.
