Ardita & Durim

Ardita and Durimi are now enjoying their first year of marriage in Sweden — the beautiful result of a long-lasting, healthy, and genuine relationship. But the road that brought them together wasn’t an easy one.

Living in different countries and under different circumstances, Ardita and Durimi wouldn’t have met if it weren’t for dua.com — the platform where Albanians connect with a clear purpose: to find true love.

Meet Ardita and Durim

Ardita (28) është një vajzë nga Malisheva, e rritur në Suedi. Vjen nga një familje sipërmarrëse dhe punon në biznesin e tyre të përbashkët, ku merret me marketingun.
Durimi (30) is from Prishtina and previously worked as a municipal officer in the city’s administration. Alongside his professional career, he has always had a passion for futsal.

Although miles apart, Ardita and Durimi were truly meant for each other. dua.com became the bridge that connected these two young Albanians, who now share a life together in Scandinavia.

“I heard about dua.com on a TV show… and thought, why not?”

Durimi first learned about dua.com in 2020 while watching the show NIN on Klan Kosova, where the app’s founder, Valon Asani, was a guest sharing the mission behind the platform.

“I was really impressed that it was a dating app created specifically for Albanians. I thought, this could work for me too. I wanted to find someone who truly matched me, whether she was from Kosovo or the diaspora,” he recalls.

After changing his location settings on the app, Durimi was matched with Ardita — and it didn’t take long for both of them to realize they had found something special.

From match in 2020 to marriage in 2024

It all began with a match on dua.com on September 15, 2020.

“The first thing that caught my attention was definitely her looks,” Durimi shares, “but once we started talking, it was Ardita’s personality that made me realize she was exactly what I’d been looking for.”

The two chatted for three to four hours non-stop on the app before moving their conversations elsewhere. A few months later, they met for the first time when Ardita traveled to Prishtina. That meeting confirmed what they already felt — that this was a serious connection worth pursuing.

Just ten months later, in July 2021, they got engaged. In August 2024, they were married and began a new chapter of their lives together in Sweden.

Love, support, and adjustment

For Ardita’s family, it was important that she found a partner who shared their Albanian roots, so they welcomed her relationship with Durimi with open arms and full support.

One of the biggest challenges they faced was the long distance, but even that was overcome.

“Distance was definitely the hardest part,” says Durimi. “But we managed it through strong communication and deep trust in one another.”

Now living together, Durimi is adjusting well to life in Sweden and has begun learning the language — with Ardita’s ongoing support.

“Of course, I miss my home country,” he admits, “but this was a sacrifice I was willing to make for the person I love. We’re building our life together here, and Ardita is helping me every step of the way.”

Their message to other users

Like many other couples, Ardita and Durimi are living proof that dua.com works — when you join with clear intentions.

They encourage all young Albanians who are searching for their life partner to give the app a chance, regardless of where they live. Their advice? Don’t be skeptical — trust in the success of a product made for and by Albanians.

“dua.com is the best app for its mission — bringing Albanians together, no matter where they are. It’s easy to use and can truly help you find the person you’re looking for,” says Durimi.

Stories like theirs show that dua.com is more than just a dating app. It’s a platform that fosters real, lasting, and meaningful connections between Albanians across the globe.
