Hayim and Rayah

Hayim came to “Global Match” two years ago. He was 55 years old widower with two children, a 10 yo son and 8 yo daughter. He wasn’t looking for love, he wanted a mother to his children and a life-long partner. Someone to respect and honour, and have a pleasant time with

At the same time Rayah registered to our service. Rayah is a single 48 yo psychologist who lost her faith about having her own children. All she wanted was to find a life-time loving partner “Someone to watch TV with at nights, someone to go out for dinner with, once in a while”, as she said

When I introduced between Rayah and Hayim, I thought to myself they’re a good fit. They had the same world view. I strongly felt some unexpected surprises were waiting for them

On their first meeting Hayim already told Rayah he didn’t want to waste anymore time on romantic dates and  nights out. He offered her to meet his children. If they’d get along, he’d want her to move in with him. They would take it from there and see.

After 3 months I received a check which made me realize they made it. I haven’t heard from them since, I just hoped and prayed they were happy.

One night I went to a movie with my husband. In front of us there was an elderly couple who kept cuddling and kissing. When the movie ended and the lights went on, there I noticed them. No other than Rayah and Hayim, who seemed quite happy. I turned to them and introduced them to my husband as my friends. They asked us to join them for coffee, I said it’d be our pleasure.

During the evening they told me about how the first year was difficult and frustrating. All the problems they had in communicating with each other and his children. They told us about his ex-wife’s family who criticized her every step and move. And it took time for the children to get used to the situation, to understand and accept Rayah as a mother.

Rayah told me that Hayim means the world to her. His kids compensated her for not having children of her own. During the first year his good heart, wisdom and sensitivity made her fall in love with him. He saw the dedication, sacrifice and love that she lavished on his children. From sad and nervous children they became happy and confident. This made him fall in love with her to the utmost.

They smiled at us and admitted “this wasn’t love at first sight, but this love will last forever!”.

We were so happy for them, and we all decided to stay in touch and get together more.

On our way home my husband (who’s not involved in my business) said to me “Wow dear, you did it big time, good for you!”.
