A joy that comes with life’s maturity
Gary and I are growing even closer with each passing day, and our love continues to deepen in the most beautiful way.
Just recently, he gave me a handwritten love letter. To my surprise, he had even written a haiku for me. Every line was written in elegant cursive, carefully crafted to express how deeply he loves me.
Knowing that a 59-year-old man took the time to pour his heart into a letter for 58-year-old me moved me more than I can express. I read that letter every night before going to sleep.I never imagined that I would experience such a romantic love at this stage of my life, and I feel truly blessed.
Next year, when the jacaranda flowers paint the town purple, we will say our vows and begin our new life together.

It feels like my heart is waking up again.
Ever since joining OZMATCH, my heart has been fluttering in a way that feels almost like being a teenager again. It is a little embarrassing, but it is also wonderful. Even when I used dating apps, I never felt anything like this.
Compared to my past relationships, it is surprising how many things he and I have in common. He listens to me, remembers the small things I say, and always speaks and acts with my feelings in mind. He gives me confidence every day, and for the first time in my life, I understand what people mean when they say they are happy to the point of feeling a little scared.
At first, I thought I might like him more than he liked me. But now I can clearly feel that his feelings for me are even stronger. For years, I could not escape the pain of my past relationships. But now I can finally breathe, and I am grateful for every step of the journey that brought me to this happiness.

I falling for him more deeply than I ever expected
Everything in our lives has been moving forward so quickly, and every day brings something new to look forward to. I often think back to the time, just a few months after we met, when I flew to Canberra to see him.
I still remember how emotional I felt when it was time to leave the airport. Tears started to fall because I already cared for him so deeply. I was completely taken with him, even back then.
He planned so many places to take me, and we had such a wonderful weekend together. Even now, nothing has changed. He is always thinking of new things for us to enjoy, and he continues to bring so much fun and happiness into my life.

I honestly wondered if it was a dream.I am not even sure if I managed to say “yes” properly because everything felt surreal.But it became the most unforgettable moment of my life and turned the end of the year into the happiest time I have ever experienced.
Through OZMATCH, I found the one person I truly love.We still have challenges ahead, but I believe we can overcome anything together.I feel so grateful to Misao-san, the entire OZMATCH support team, and all the members who have supported us.Thank you for giving us the chance to begin this beautiful journey.

I feel nothing but hope for our future
I can honestly say that meeting OZMATCH has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. If I had not found OZMATCH, I would never have met Jeffrey. Now I finally understand what it feels like when everything comes together naturally.
Last week, he traveled all the way from Australia to Japan to see me. After spending time together in person, talking directly and sitting next to him, I found myself liking him even more.
What means the most to me is not only how he feels about me, but how much thought he gives to everything around us. He thinks about my daughter, our future as a family, his own family, his friends, and how we can all build a comfortable and happy life together when my daughter and I move to Australia.
Marriage is not just about two people, and he understands that very well. We communicate every day for two to three hours and talk about many things. Whenever I think about our future, all I feel is positivity, and I have never felt anxious about it.

Feeling Loved and Touched Every Day
It has been almost six months since we met, and even now there are moments when my heart still skips a beat as we exchange messages every day.
Today, while I was at work, he sent me another warm and loving message. It was the kind of message that makes me think, “I am really loved.” Every time it happens, I feel grateful that I was able to meet him.
At the beginning of this year, I was having trouble finding the right person and asked Misao-san for advice. She suggested taking a short break and said, “I will find someone good for you during that time.” And she truly did. Misao-san, I am sincerely grateful. Someday, just like Misao-san, I hope to find work here in Australia that allows me to bring happiness to others as well.
I cannot wait to start my life with him in Australia. I know there will be many happy moments ahead and perhaps some challenges too, but we will always care for each other and enjoy a happy life together. Thank you so much for all the support you have given me.

He Is more wonderful than I ever deserved
I still remember the first time I had a consultation with Misao-san. She told me that we might share a connection because we came to Australia at a similar age, and those words stayed with me. But I never imagined that I would meet someone who also had a young daughter, just like Misao-san did.
I will be turning 46 next month. Even now, I can hardly believe that I was able to leave OZMATCH as a successfully matched member. I truly thought this would never happen for me.
He is such a wonderful man, far more than I ever expected or believed I deserved. Even with his busy work schedule, he always waits for me to finish my day so we can talk on video. He is studying Japanese and puts so much effort into building our relationship, which means the world to me.
I want to grow into a person who matches the kindness and sincerity he shows me. I want to improve my character, my English, and my beauty as a woman so that I can walk beside him with confidence.
Thank you, Misao-san, for bringing us together through such a precious connection.

We were in the same city for years — but love finally found us.
Although we had both been living in Sydney for three years, I truly believe we would never have met without OZMATCH.
Before we found each other, we faced every hardship and every moment of loneliness on our own. But now, no matter what happens, we face everything together, and neither of us has to struggle alone anymore.
When we are together, our conversations never stop. We laugh so much, and being with him makes me feel that as long as we stay by each other’s side, our days will always be filled with happiness. We were both born in Japan, yet we met in the country we love, Australia.
We feel incredibly blessed to have crossed paths here. From the bottom of our hearts, we are grateful to OZMATCH for bringing us together.

He embraces even the imperfect parts of me
I still clearly remember the day I had my first consultation with Misao-san. Her warm smile showed me how beautiful marriage and partnership could be, and it inspired me to dream of finding a partner like that for myself.
She once told me that a journey of finding a partner is a journey of discovering yourself, and she was absolutely right. These past months have been a time of looking within, understanding what kind of person I am, and what kind of partner and married life I truly want.
For me, what I needed most was someone with whom I could be my true self, someone I could relax with, someone I could be natural around, someone I could lean on without hesitation, and someone who would embrace even the imperfect parts of me. I also wanted to be that kind of partner for him.
He is exactly that person. He accepts me completely and surrounds me with kindness just as I am. When we first met at an event last year, I felt a quiet sense of connection, and it stayed with me. But I never imagined that things would move forward so smoothly and naturally. The more I get to know him, the more adorable and precious he becomes to me.
This is only the beginning of our story, and I want to build a relationship where our bond grows deeper and stronger with every step we take together.

I never imagined everything could come together so smoothly
I can hardly believe how smoothly everything has been unfolding. I was drawn to him because he enjoys both his work and his hobbies with genuine enthusiasm. I never imagined that less than three weeks after meeting him on a video call, we would actually be able to meet in Japan.
Through our emails and video chats, he was always thoughtful and considerate. When we finally met in person, he was exactly the same kind and sincere man I had gotten to know online. I am still amazed by how naturally we understand each other’s thoughts and feelings without needing many words.
When he asks me, “How was your day?” or “What made you smile today?” It gives me a chance to reflect on the happy moments in my day. This small habit has become something very precious to me. From here on, I hope we continue to build a relationship where we always treat each other with kindness and care.
I am deeply grateful to Misao-san and the OZMATCH team for bringing this wonderful connection into my life.

My happiness just keeps growing
During my stay in Australia, he took me to many wonderful places, and as we were exploring, I found myself thinking, “This is the country I will be living in.” It felt both exciting and very real.
But more than any sightseeing, the best part of this trip was simply being with him. I felt incredibly happy. Even when we were sitting together without speaking, it never felt uncomfortable. Just holding his hand and feeling him next to me was enough to make me feel completely content.
His mother is also a lovely person. She told me she would love for my parents to visit someday. She even gave me a beautiful handmade card and a thoughtful gift. She seemed very happy with the gift I brought her as well.
He has already been researching the partner visa for us. Seeing how seriously he thinks about our future makes me feel so grateful and reassured. I feel like there are so many wonderful things waiting for us, and my happiness just keeps growing. I am truly glad I met him.
Misao-san, thank you so much for all the support you have given me. When I was struggling during my time overseas, I never imagined that such happiness would come to me this year. I am truly glad that I joined OZMATCH right after returning to Japan.

The moment I knew it was destiny
I first met him about a year ago. My impression during our very first omiai was that he was a sincere and thoughtful person. Our conversation flowed easily without any awkward pauses, and I remember thinking how wonderful it was to talk with someone who could lead the conversation so naturally.
For the following year, we stayed connected through LINE messages and weekend video chats. And finally, after twelve months, I was able to meet him in person.
The moment I saw him, my heart fluttered so much that I could hardly believe it. He was even more wonderful than the image I had formed through our messages and video calls. He completely exceeded my expectations.
We spent a week together afterward, and every day felt incredibly joyful and special. We talked late into the night about marriage, family, and our future. He was kind, attentive, and thoughtful about even the smallest things. Being with him made me feel truly happy.
Meeting him does not feel like a coincidence. It feels like destiny. I believe that meeting Misao-san and meeting this wonderful man is a gift I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am deeply grateful.

I learned what it means to love with real commitment.
There was a time when I often wondered, “Does he truly care about me?” “Is he really the right person for me?” Those doubts would appear whenever something happened.
But now I feel as though I have finally reached the doorway to the kind of love Misao-san described in her newsletter, a love where we choose to keep loving each other no matter what.
He once said to me, “You know the word kakugo in Japanese, right? I made that commitment when we entered serious dating.” Hearing that gave me a deep sense of reassurance.
He always tries to create a relationship where we can speak honestly with each other. He treats my family with sincerity, even when their requests are challenging. I am truly grateful for him, and I am so glad it is him. He often tells me, “Of course we will get through anything together,” and each time he says that, I find myself loving him even more.
And last Friday, I resigned from my job. Recently, he and my mother spoke on a video call for the first time. Introducing him to my mother made me incredibly happy, and it feels wonderful to see us moving steadily closer to marriage.

A love that grew faster than I ever imagined
Through OZMATCH, I was able to meet him after only a few omiai. I had known of him before, but our timing had never matched. That is why his unexpected omiai request truly felt like a miracle.
From the very first day we met, I felt a strong pull toward him. My feelings grew so quickly that even I was surprised by how fast everything changed.
Before we had even reached one month of dating, I traveled to Australia to see him. When we spent time together in person, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Everything felt perfect, precious, comforting, and simply right. I am grateful for everything that led us to that moment.
The deep connection that formed between us in such a short time may be difficult for others to understand, but he and I know exactly how real and valuable it is. I may not express myself as openly as he does, but my feelings for him are just as strong. What surprises me most is how natural I feel when I am with him. There is no effort and no pretending. I can simply be myself.
By not giving up and by continuing to move forward one step at a time, I finally met the person I had been searching for all these years. I truly feel that everything was worth it. Misao-san, thank you for everything you have done for me. My heart is filled with happiness.

I found my destiny through OZMATCH
I still remember how overwhelmed I felt during our omiai. He was so incredibly handsome that my mind went completely blank. I had planned to use a translation device, but I was so nervous that I could not use it. I felt frustrated that I could not express myself properly in English.
Before the omiai, when I looked at his profile, I found myself imagining him giving a piggyback ride or lifting a little girl onto his shoulders, walking happily together along the beach. At that moment, I thought he might be the one I was meant to meet.
Daryl is always considerate of my feelings in every conversation. With him, I genuinely feel that no matter what challenges come our way, we will be able to overcome them together.
Our everyday conversations are simple but full of joy. He always reminds me that life is precious and that I should cherish each moment with him. He often says, “Life is beautiful,” and hearing those words has made me want to treasure the connections and relationships in my life even more.
I am truly grateful that Misao-san introduced me to Daryl during my first consultation.Meeting him feels like destiny. Looking back, I realize that the values and structure of OZMATCH gave me the sense of security I needed to take those steps forward.

To Misao-san,
I am deeply grateful to be able to share my story here. Finding Misao-san’s blog, meeting Misao-san, discovering OZMATCH, and eventually meeting Peter all feel like a series of beautiful miracles that brought me to where I am today.
This journey of searching and growing as a person has truly changed my life. It opened my heart, taught me resilience, and became an experience I will cherish forever. But it was never something I could complete on my own. So many people supported me, encouraged me, and guided me along the way. Thank you, Misao-san, for bringing Peter and me together.
Now, Peter and I are beginning a new chapter in Australia. With our hands together, we are ready to open the door to a new life.I believe this journey will bring happiness not only to us, but also to the people we love.
Sharing warmth, encouraging each other through challenges, and celebrating the joy found in everyday moments is truly extraordinary when you experience it with someone you love.

Thank you for finding me.Thank you for choosing me. I am grateful for every experience I have had, even the difficult ones, because none of them were in vain. Now I can look back on all those moments with affection.They guided me to OZMATCH, and they guided me to you.
You are a gift life has given me. When I first saw your profile, something inside me told me that you were special, and that feeling has brought us to where we are today.
To those who are unsure about starting their own journey,
Please take that first brave step. And to those who are struggling or feeling uncertain, do not give up. Keep moving forward for your own happiness. Your story is still unfolding. With love.

Thank you for finding me.Thank you for choosing me. I am grateful for every experience I have had, even the difficult ones, because none of them were in vain. Now I can look back on all those moments with affection.They guided me to OZMATCH, and they guided me to you.
You are a gift life has given me. When I first saw your profile, something inside me told me that you were special, and that feeling has brought us to where we are today.
To those who are unsure about starting their own journey,
Please take that first brave step. And to those who are struggling or feeling uncertain, do not give up. Keep moving forward for your own happiness. Your story is still unfolding. With love.

The miracle I never thought would happen to me
Recently, Daniel proposed to me. He looked at me and said in Japanese, “Please be my partner for life.” Of course, my answer was, “Yes, with all my heart.” Being formally proposed to made me feel incredibly happy. He even arranged a surprise celebration with the children, and it became a memory I will treasure forever.
Thinking back to the day we first met in our omiai, I realize just how much has happened on the way to this moment. When I registered as a basic member of OZMATCH, I never imagined that in such a short time I would meet someone I truly want to spend the rest of my life with.
Around this time last year, I was reading the stories of other couples on the OZMATCH website and thinking, “Is this really possible? It sounds amazing, but it will never happen to me.” I would never have believed that one year later I would be the one getting engaged. It feels like OZMATCH magic.
I used to think that unless a miracle happened, nothing would change, but miracles really do happen. Without Misao-san and OZMATCH, the two of us would never have met, and I am filled with gratitude. Thank you for bringing the best partner into my life. Daniel gives me so much emotional support, and I am truly grateful for his presence. Together, we will overcome whatever challenges come our way.

I never imagined everything could come together so smoothly
I can hardly believe how smoothly everything has been unfolding. I was drawn to him because he enjoys both his work and his hobbies with genuine enthusiasm. I never imagined that less than three weeks after meeting him on a video call, we would actually be able to meet in Japan.
Through our emails and video chats, he was always thoughtful and considerate. When we finally met in person, he was exactly the same kind and sincere man I had gotten to know online. I am still amazed by how naturally we understand each other’s thoughts and feelings without needing many words.
When he asks me, “How was your day?” or “What made you smile today?” It gives me a chance to reflect on the happy moments in my day. This small habit has become something very precious to me. From here on, I hope we continue to build a relationship where we always treat each other with kindness and care.
I am deeply grateful to Misao-san and the OZMATCH team for bringing this wonderful connection into my life.

The pain of loving him deeply has now become a cherished memory
I joined OZMATCH because, deep in my heart, I felt that my partner might not be in Japan but somewhere in Australia. When I arrived on a working holiday visa, I felt excited and hopeful, but also a little lonely. The warm and encouraging emails I received from Misao-san truly lifted my spirits.
Soon after that, she invited me to a speed dating event, and that is where I met him. After the event, I could not stop thinking about him. I decided to upgrade to Executive membership, met him again in an omiai, and we began a provisional relationship.
Even though we were both living in Australia, we lived in different states, so our relationship became long-distance. At that time, I was struggling to find work and felt discouraged almost every day. He supported me through messages, video chats, Christmas cards, and even birthday presents. When I opened his card, I was so touched by his kindness that I cried.
I liked him so much that six months after we met, I confessed my feelings to him. At that moment, he did not feel the same way, and it hurt me deeply. I even thought about taking a break from OZMATCH.
We came very close to ending our relationship, but neither of us wanted to let go of the connection we had. So we decided to meet again in person. We spent simple, quiet time together, visiting his favorite café, shopping at a local supermarket, and simply being ourselves. Through those moments, we realized how important we were to each other.
With him, I can be completely myself. His smile is adorable, and I love it so much that I sometimes act a little silly just to make him laugh. He supports me emotionally, and I want to support him just as much. Being with him gives me strength. I feel that I can face anything as long as we are together. I hope we will continue to support each other as we build our life side by side.
Without OZMATCH and Misao-san, we would never have found each other. Thank you, Misao-san, for always watching over us, guiding us, and giving us the courage to keep moving forward. I feel grateful from the bottom of my heart.

Mizuki 30s
Realizing that every step led me to him
When we first met and I got to know him more each day, I sometimes found myself wondering, “Can someone this wonderful really exist?” It was a kind of uncertainty, but in a very good way. I had never experienced losing track of time while talking to a man, so even I was surprised by how naturally our conversations flowed.
My first impression of him was that he seemed calm and quiet, but in reality, he expresses his thoughts honestly and directly. I always listen to him with a mix of happiness and a warm, almost ticklish feeling in my heart.
I do not usually like to use words such as intuition or destiny, but the more we talked, the more clearly we saw how much we had in common. Our backgrounds, personalities, lifestyles, work values, views on family, and even the things we cannot compromise on in everyday life were surprisingly similar. It was incredible to realize how closely we aligned.
Through both the journey of finding a partner and daily life, I have had many ups and downs and some painful experiences as well. But now I feel that everything might have had meaning. Perhaps it was all part of the journey that led me to him. It may sound dramatic, but it is how I truly feel.
I am grateful that I was able to share my thoughts and feelings with you, Misao-san. Thank you to you and to everyone at OZMATCH who supported me throughout this journey. He notices even the little things I do not realize myself, and because of that, every day with him feels peaceful and full of happiness.

A life I can truly enjoy with him
From the very first time we talked during our omiai, our conversation never stopped. We discovered that we liked the same things, finished work at similar times, and spent our weekends in much the same way.
I remember thinking that the things I used to enjoy on my own would be even more enjoyable if I could experience them with him. Now that we have started living together, that is exactly the kind of life we are living.
We promised each other that we would always be open and honest, and that we would continue to express our thoughts and feelings without holding back. Of course, life will not always be filled with only happy moments. There may be times when we face challenges or have differences of opinion, but I hope we can walk forward together with kindness and understanding, never forgetting to be considerate of each other.

H 30s
The love I once thought was unreachable has become my everyday life.
I do not think I could have left OZMATCH with such a loving partner by my side without Misao-san’s support. She never dismissed me or the people around me. Instead, she always valued my feelings and offered objective and accurate advice.
Because of that, I have learned to appreciate the failures and past experiences that once felt heavy in my heart. Even after leaving OZMATCH, I often remember the guidance Misao-san gave me.
Through him, I learn every day what partnership and marriage truly mean. It still amazes me that, in a foreign country far from the family who raised and protected me, I met someone who gives me such a natural sense of family.
Sometimes I wonder why someone like him would choose someone like me, but I am endlessly grateful for this connection with a man who embraces every part of who I am.
The simple things that once felt like distant dreams such as having someone’s hand to hold, someone who always answers my calls and messages, someone who stands by me no matter what, and someone who makes weekends and holidays something to look forward to have all become my everyday life because I met him. Every day, I cherish this happiness that once felt completely out of reach.
His steady and gentle love, from the day we met until now, and the strong and encouraging support from Misao-san have truly transformed my life. Meeting my perfect partner through OZMATCH and through Misao-san’s guidance is one of the greatest treasures of my life.
My goal now is to be a woman whom he will still cherish ten years and twenty years from now. I want to continue growing, to be thoughtful, and to build a life in which we both become richer in spirit as we walk together.

Maiko 40s
When I finally chose to be myself, love found me.
My journey began with a simple goal, which was to start marriage hunting at the age of fifty. While researching how to prepare myself, I happened to come across Misao-san’s blog.
I was not sure if the timing was right, but I knew I would regret turning fifty without having tried anything. So I joined OZMATCH with the intention of gaining experience. To be honest, I also wanted a professional opinion that might help me accept the idea of letting go of marriage for good.
But every time I spoke with Misao-san, her positive energy made me feel that I really might meet someone. Before I knew it, I found myself going to omiai, entering provisional relationships, and truly giving myself the chance to find love.
When I met David, I pushed myself to meet him even though I felt apologetic about my circumstances. I knew I could not change the situation I was in, and it took a lot of courage to think, “If he does not like it, he can walk away.”
So when I received his message that said, “Maybe we can meet again as friends,” I remember feeling more relief than disappointment. Accepting myself at that moment became a turning point that later allowed our connection to deepen.
With him, I never have to pretend. I can simply be myself, without effort and without fear, and he accepts me exactly as I am. Because of that, everything has moved forward in a natural and peaceful way. I have not felt any anxiety or doubt or hesitation.
It has been just over a year since I first found Misao-san’s blog. Being supported by someone who truly lives the life she believes in has been a gift. Now I will walk forward with him, building a rich and fulfilling life together.

Eighteen Months Apart, Yet Never Unsure
e
When we first met in our omiai, I assumed that we would be able to meet in person within a few months. I never imagined that because of the pandemic it would take almost a year and a half before we could finally see each other.
Even in those circumstances, he was always gentle and calm whenever we talked. I never felt anxious about building a relationship with him. Even without meeting in person, we were able to talk openly about our future.
Being able to communicate honestly, to support each other, and to stay close in spirit despite the distance made me believe that if we could overcome this situation, then we would surely be able to overcome anything that might come our way in the future. That feeling became the deciding factor for me.
I am deeply grateful to OZMATCH and to Misao McBride for bringing such a wonderful person into my life.

His kindness helped me move forward
I joined OZMATCH right in the middle of the pandemic. I had grown tired of trying to date in Japan and was looking for something new. That was when I came across Misao’s bright and encouraging YouTube videos, and they inspired me to take a new step.
Since I did not speak English well, video chats were extremely nerve-racking at first. I could not understand what was being said, and I struggled to express what I wanted to say. All I felt in the beginning was tension. But he always waited patiently for my words and treated me with kindness every time we talked. Because of his gentle nature, I slowly began to enjoy our video chats, and I felt that the two of us were building our relationship little by little through our daily messages and conversations.
My English has not improved as much as I wish it had, so there are still many moments when I feel uncertain. But his warm smile and his kindness continue to support me, and I am truly grateful for him.

A Japanese proposal I will remember for the rest of my life
Yesterday he came all the way to my town and in the evening he took me on a dinner cruise. We enjoyed a wonderful meal on the deck while looking out at the beautiful night view.
After dinner we walked together to the back of the boat, and as we stood there like a scene from Titanic, he proposed to me in Japanese. I could tell how much he had practiced, and it touched me deeply.
When I said yes, he gently placed an engagement ring on my finger. It sparkled so beautifully, as if it reflected his heart. After that, we talked about how blessed we are, how happy we make each other, and how dearly we treasure one another.
It has been a full year since we first met, and now I understand the meaning of that year. During that time, we never missed a single day of writing messages or talking on the phone. Our long LINE message history has become a treasure to me.
His proposal made me feel that everything we have built over this year has formed an even stronger bond between us.

A connection that flows naturally beyond culture and distance
I am spending my first Christmas and New Year with Roger, and my heart feels warm and deeply fulfilled. I also had the chance to meet his close friends of forty years, which made this holiday season even more special.
Even when small problems arise between us, we somehow end up resolving them while laughing together. Every time this happens, I am amazed by how smooth communication can be when you are with the person you are truly meant to meet, regardless of differences in country or culture.
When I first learned about OZMATCH, I felt something intuitive and mysterious, as if it was quietly guiding me. Now that I have met Roger and we have reached this wonderful milestone together, I feel a happiness and a sense of gratitude that I cannot fully express in words.
There were moments when my feelings became stuck, but Misao-san’s warm energy helped me move forward each time. Without OZMATCH, Roger’s life and my life would never have crossed paths. Misao-san truly changed our lives, and for that, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart.
I believe that 2025 will undoubtedly be an even better year for the two of us.

He treats me with warmth and respect
When I first joined OZMATCH, I could not seem to meet the kind of partner I was hoping for. After some time, I decided to pause my activities for about three months.
Once I began to feel more relaxed and thought, “Maybe it is time to return,” I received an omiai opportunity. When I looked at his profile, I noticed how many hobbies, interests, and values we shared, and I naturally felt, “I would like to meet him.”
On the day of the omiai, I was nervous, but as soon as we started talking, our many similarities made the conversation flow easily. Time passed very quickly, and I found myself wanting to talk with him more. His warm and sincere personality made me feel comfortable right away.
After we entered provisional dating, we exchanged LINE messages every day for almost two hours. This continued for several months, and we talked about everything from work worries to small moments in our daily lives, as well as our dreams for the future. Through these conversations, I felt our understanding of each other deepen little by little.
Since we were in a long-distance relationship, we also enjoyed having lunch dates through video calls. We showed each other our meals and talked as if we were sitting at the same table. It was a warm and comforting way to stay close despite the distance.
When the new year came, we wanted to see the same sky even though we were far apart. So we kept the video call connected and watched the first sunrise together. Sharing that moment as the sun rose made me feel that our hearts were connected beyond distance.
This year, I am looking forward to watching that same beautiful sunrise together in the same country. I knew I needed to meet him in person before moving into a serious relationship. He understood this completely and never pushed me. He respected my pace, and that kindness made me feel safe and strengthened my trust in him.
For our first Valentine’s Day, he sent me a bouquet of flowers. Even though we were far apart, his thoughtfulness and care reached me, and it moved me deeply. These small surprises helped bring us closer.
In March, he came to Japan and we finally met in person. Then in September, I visited Australia and spent two weeks with him. Seeing his environment and lifestyle helped me feel confident that I could live there with him.
During my stay in Australia, he proposed to me again. It has been a year since we first met, and I am filled with gratitude for how he has always treated me with warmth and respect. I am truly thankful for the connection we found through this matching service.
Marriage hunting can bring confusion and uncertainty, but I learned that it is important to honor your own pace and be honest with your feelings. I also felt that trust grows through communication and mutual care. Through my own experience, I realized that wonderful connections can be found through matching services.
OZMATCH offers a community where members can exchange advice and support each other. During meetups, you can hear stories from couples who have successfully married, which provides encouragement when you feel stuck. Having such support makes it easier to continue the journey with confidence.
I sincerely hope that everyone who is searching for their own special connection will find happiness.

Since I met him, the world I see has changed.
He is one of the most caring person I have ever met in my life. He is sensitive, generous, and accepts who I am.
He can sense the slightest flicker of my heart. He gives me very kind words and encourages me. He makes me laugh when I am down.
He expresses his feelings for me without hesitation. He accepts my thoughts without judging them. I am very grateful to have met someone with such a beautiful heart.
Since I met him, the world I see and my everyday life has changed. I haven't felt my heart dancing like this for a long time.

I am glad that I chose OZMATCH out of all the matchmaking agencies.
Misao-san, thank you for giving me the magic words at every consultation!
Many times I feel discouraged because I have no hope for my future. Yet, every time I have a consultation with Misao-san, I am able to stand up with hope that there is still a bright future waiting for me.
I am glad that I chose OZMATCH out of all the matchmaking agencies.
What I felt at Misao-san's initial free consultation before joining OZMATCH was her sincere attitude towards her members' goals and her passion for her company's services.
I felt again at today's consultation with Misao-san that those things have not changed.

OZMATCH gives me appropriate advices
When I was wondering what to do after I broke up with my boyfriend, I read an email from OZMATCH, and knew that couples were getting married one after another, so I decided to upgrade my membership to an executive member.
The beauty of OZMATCH is that they offer consultation and advice that online dating sites , matching apps and other matching agencies do not.
I believe that my relationship with him is going well because Misao-san listened to my opinion and his and gave me appropriate advice. I am very grateful to Misao-san.

OZMATCH system is amazing
After becoming an executive member (full member) from a basic Member, I have become more aware of Misao's passion and dedication to this cause.
I have learnt a lot from Misao's passionate attitude towards the activities.
There are many members in OZMATCH, and the OZMATCH system is amazing because it allows members to request consultations at any time according to their individual situations.
Recently, Misao has taken a very useful video and made it available exclusively for executive members. I really appreciate Misao.

It's a life-changing level of matchmaking.
I have been able to make a great connection with him that I did not expect at all. It may be an exaggeration, but I think it's a life-changing level of matchmaking. I'm glad I trusted Misao-san's intuition!
When Misao-san introduced him to me, I honestly thought he was someone who wouldn't be a match for me. But I thought that Misao's intuition couldn't be wrong, so I decided to go for an OMIAI.
But now I am so happy to have met someone like him! And a big thank you to Misao-san for introducing me to him!

Becoming a member of OZMATCH has changed my life dramatically.
This time last year I was struggling. One day, however, the OZMATCH website caught my eye and I was drawn in to become an executive member.
For me, becoming an executive member of OZMATCH was one of the biggest decisions of my life. And that decision has changed my life dramatically.
Marriage activity with OZMATCH is no longer just about 'marriage activity'. The relationships with the male members and female members I have met so far have become a new key to my life and created various inspirations for me.
I am filled with gratitude for the many people I have been able to relate to through OZMATCH.

Since joining OZMATCH, I have received enthusiastic support from Misao
For five years after my divorce, I concentrated on work and childcare, but I vaguely thought that if I were to find love next, it would be overseas.
Then I casually read Misao-san's blog and found out about OZMATCH.
Every time I read the daily emails from Misao-san, her powerful words strongly moved me and gave me courage, so I applied for the free consultation. From there, I upgraded my membership and here I am.
Misao-san said that she would work with me, a single mother with three children, who would normally have found it difficult to support me.
Since joining OZMATCH, I have received enthusiastic support from Misao-san, and through the community of other members, I have learnt a lot, not only about marriage life, but also about everything in life.
I have zero English skills, but I am currently in a relationship with a very kind Australian man.
I am very grateful to Misao-san for encouraging me to try as much as I can, and to everyone at OZMATCH.

Only Misao-san told me that "It's okay even if you are in your 50s!
I was desperate and looked for different international marriage agencies.
When I was disappointed that all the international marriage agencies told me that there were no partners for me in my 50s, only Misao-san from OZMATCH told me that "It's okay even if you are in your 50s! I remember I was very encouraged by Misao-san's words.
Just by taking Misao-san's consultations and receiving her emails, I feel energised. Misao-san is very good at cheering people up, and I feel like I get energy from her every time I come in contact with her.
I want to be a person who can cheer up the people around me like Misao-san does. Thank you, Misao-san, for everything.
