David was an intercessor in church and always prayed to God to bless him with a lover and one day Claudine showed up and a voice from nowhere told him that 'this is your suitable partner'. He had never been married before and he spends most of his time in church spreading the gospel.
"I prayed and fasted," he said.
Sharing her story, the young lady said after meeting, she never thought they would fall in love because she always saw him as a father.
Claudine said they were criticised over their age difference but that never changed her feelings towards him.

"People will talk but there is nothing that will change since I love him. They would say we don't match but I told them a loving heart is enough," she said.
Friends discouraged her to ditch the man, claiming he would die and leave her but she gave them a deaf ear.
"I never fell in love looking to inherit possessions," she said.
Claudine pampered her better half with love and she said:
"He makes me happy and always lifts me. No other man has ever did this to me."
The lady said her parents never had a problem with her choice to settle with David.
David proposes
The 76-year-old proposed to Claudine and she said yes. The couple is set to tie the knot soon.
