"Running Together, Living Together": Shincheonji Couple Found the True Meaning of Partnership on the Football Pitch

In celebration of "Married Couples' Day" in South Korea (May 21st), a unique love story from the Matthias Tribe Daejeon Church of Shincheonji is shedding light on what it truly means to walk through life as a team. For this particular husband and wife, the secrets to a harmonious marriage weren't found in a textbook, but rather on the football pitch and through their shared spiritual journey. A Match Made on the Pitch The couple's story began where they both feel most at home: the football field. The husband (referred to as A), a former professional football player in Thailand, returned to South Korea for injury treatment and tryouts. It was at a local football gathering in Daejeon that he met his future wife (B). While B had been practicing her faith at the Shincheonji Daejeon Church since 2006, A naturally joined her in 2015 after learning the Bible's teachings.

A Cozy Afternoon at a Charming Cafe

This afternoon, I decided to head out to a cafe since it was a bit too cold to stay at home, and I had some work to get done. As I walked through the falling snow, I felt so much joy. There's something magical about snow, isn’t there? It made the short walk to the cafe near my house feel like a winter fairytale.

I chose a cafe I had always wanted to visit. Though it was narrow, the layout was unique, with three floors! The first floor was for ordering and preparing food and drinks, the second floor was filled with cozy tables and seats, and the third floor was a terrace on the rooftop.

What made my visit even more special was the kindness of the cafe staff. Even though I only ordered a cafe latte, the barista took the time to create beautiful latte art. The coffee was incredibly smooth and had a rich and creamy. It was honestly one of the best lattes I’ve had in a while.


I spent a productive afternoon at the cafe, surrounded by its warm ambiance. It was the perfect spot to focus and avoid the temptation of being lazy at home. The snow outside, the warmth inside, and the kindness of the staff all combined to create such a memorable moment.

Sometimes, little trips like this remind me how small things—like good coffee, kind people, and beautiful weather—can make a day feel special.
