You clearly don't meet the requirement then do you? If it wasn't needed, they wouldn't be asking for it

Evidence of your Relationship History
You must submit evidence of your relationship with your prospective spouse/civil partner, for example, evidence of your prospective spouse/civil partner having travelled to your country of residence on a number of occasions to visit you, evidence of correspondence etc.
Please note that for immigration purposes it is not sufficient for a relationship to have developed solely over the internet or by telephone/sms. A relationship must include a number face to face meetings (excluding webcam) between the parties. You must satisfy the Visa Officer that the relationship is bona-fide.
If either you or your prospective spouse/civil partner were married or in a civil partnership previously you must submit evidence of this:
marriage /civil partnership certificate
divorce/ dissolution of civil partnership certificate

Hi, as far as I can remember 2 years ago when I applied for spouse visa I submitted tons of evidences that me and my husband met face to face for example, meeting in my county 9 times, our flights together during our travels, his iterinaries to Philippines, communications like posted cards, web chats not considered I guess. Most importantly show them your pictures together and write the history of your relationship.

I suggest better to meet face to face cos that's the strong evidence that your relationship is strong enough to prove to INIS that it is not a sham.

Application of join spouse takes minimum of 6 months.

Good luck for your application.
