I knew my wife for over three years and didn’t date her once. We had met in Japan when I was living there. She lived in Japan and I in Utah. After a trip to Japan we both had feelings but did nothing about it. After returning to Utah I called her to start dating. We dated over the phone for eight days when I asked her to marry me, but I asked her in the Japanese traditional way of “I want your miso soup everyday for the rest of my life.” Yes that means, will you marry me. After a long pause she said yes. We dated over the phone for four months until we could afford a plane ticket. Our first real date was the day before our wedding. We have now been married for 3 1/2 years and have two children.
