Ten years before they meet, a young man and a young woman, David and Caroline Webb, each launch misguided attempts to find a spouse. Their efforts result in frustration, disappointment, and a determination to give up the quest forever. Each of them tells God that He will have to bring their spouse if they are to be married because they will never go looking again.

At this point, God shows up. Each must then struggle with doubt and unbelief that the God of the Universe might actually have heard their prayers and brought them together. A true story.
