I Was Divorced.
My Kids Suffered.
That Changes
A Man.
I didn't walk away from my first marriage bitter. I walked away determined. Determined to choose right the second time around. I would not hope my way into something permanent. I would decide my way into it.
But here's what matters most — what I want you to understand clearly: I was prepared to recognize her when I found her. I had made a habit of recording impressions when they came and actually acting on them. Not perfectly. But faithfully. That spiritual preparation is what made everything else possible.
Alongside that, I did the internal work. I knew exactly what I wanted in a wife. I was brutally honest about what I really needed, and what I would not accept. I was trying to be the kind of person I wanted to attract. I knew what peace felt like — and what the absence of it meant.
I wasn't looking for perfection. I was looking for someone perfect for me — and I believed God had already prepared her. But where was she?
Something like 269 women had put hearts on my dating profile, but I could only see a handful of them. I had my dating radius set to 50 miles. There are a lot of pretty faces on dating apps, and I met some nice women, but I wasn’t feeling anything with any of the women that crossed my path. Almost a whim, I turned off the dating radius filters.
Then I saw her profile. And a voice immediately entered my mind, not audibly, but with great force.
“You could marry her. She would love you, and you would be happy together.”
The impression was so powerful I literally looked up and said “Really?”
I wouldn't blame you if you don't believe me. But it's true. I saw her location: Entre Rios, AR, and I thought, "That's not Arkansas."
She didn't speak English. I didn't speak Spanish. On paper, nothing about this made sense. But I couldn't ignore what I felt.
I spent a few hours writing the perfect short message. I translated with ChatGPT. The conversations began.
I had done the work. I knew exactly what I was looking for. And every time we talked, something in me — the kind of knowing you only recognize when you've learned to listen — spoke to me in a way that was unmistakable and powerful. Shortly after our conversations began, when the time was right, I told her what entered my mind when I saw her profile, what I felt, and she began to have the same feelings.
We had video calls every night for months and months. The same incredible feelings of peace and assurance returned every time I thought of her. I know God gave them to me — and to her. I have no doubt.
I don’t believe God chose my wife for me. I believe He heard both our prayers, in different languages, 6,000 miles apart, and put His stamp of approval on the potential of our relationship, and that we would be happy if I chose to pursue her. To me, pursuing her meant putting in the work over the coming months to validate the impression I had received using the principles you will learn in this framework.
I want to be clear: this framework doesn't teach men to cross oceans. It teaches men to be so prepared — so clear in their standards, so aligned spiritually, so honest about what they want and need — that when the right woman appears, wherever she is, they recognize her and choose with confidence. I was simply willing to go wherever that led.
I'm not saying your experience will be exactly like mine. What I am saying is that there are principles that will help you meet quality women quickly, end relationships with the wrong women before you get attached, and choose with confidence and clarity when you find the right woman. I feel a responsibility to share what I discovered, because I know you will be happier if you have the type of relationship my wife and I enjoy. Your love will grow stronger every day. You literally don't know how good it can be when you marry the right person.
My wife’s name is Lorena. We are deeply in love. We’re so in love that other people notice it. We have kids who want that same kind of love in their own marriages one day. Most importantly, we have peace. There is no one better for me than my wife. She feels the same about me. And I wrote down everything that got me here: my preparation and dating process for meeting quality women, and the decision system I used to keep me from rationalizing lack of peace.
