Gooden

What makes us a great couple is that our relationship was built on friendship, faith, and purpose before it was ever built on romance.

How did your love story begin?

The Wife I Asked God to Choose After a difficult divorce, I told God, "If I ever marry again, You will have to choose my wife because I can't." Two years after a brief Facebook message, Tasha reappeared in my life. Though we lived across the country, a series of unlikely events brought us together. The moment we met at the airport, we ran into each other's arms and both said, "I've missed you." Seven years later, we're still living the love story God wrote.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our favorite memory is the day we met in person for the first time. After two years between our first Facebook message and reconnecting, we finally met at the airport. The moment we saw each other, we ran into each other's arms as if we had known one another forever. Without planning it, we both said the same words: "I've missed you." It made no logical sense, yet it felt completely true. Seven years later, it is still our favorite memory.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won $20,000, we would use it to expand our ministry's mission of reaching people with the hope and love of Jesus Christ. We would invest in faith-based teaching resources, online outreach, leadership development, marriage and family programs, and digital media that help people grow in their relationship with God. Our desire is simple: to use every opportunity and resource possible to impact lives, strengthen families, and point people toward Christ.
