    My husband and I met and got married 3 weeks later. We have been married 33 years. Teamwork and commitment is right on . He had 2 small girls his wife had passed 3 years prior. When I took those vows not only was I committing to be the best wife I could but also to be an instant Mom. Was it easy doing either ? No, but it takes teamwork, discussions, give and take. The main thing was we knew we were meant to be together. As we're aging we're in the vow part through sickness and in health.

    Being committed to the relationship early on is the key to the faithful marriage. Being there and showing your faith to that person is the best kind of 💘.

    You guys are too cute! I love your view of marriage! We feel similar in regards to taking care of our medically fragile daughter (she has cerebral palsy, seizures, etc). People look at us and wonder why we would have adopted her in the first place, knowing how much work it would be to take care of her. But that's what love is. It's a choice & a commitment. But when she's as adorable as she is, it's easy! Plus, "God so loved" us, and "we love because He first loved us." God bless you guys for sharing your story with us!

  • @elizabethmion4595
    @elizabethmion4595 4 года назад +13

    I absolutely love the relationship you guys have. You really did it the right way and it's something I strive to find one day. You started as friends and built the relationship on key principles that are important to you both- first and foremost God is the center of your marriage and you live you lives with the purpose of serving Him and bringing Him glory. You also worked on strong communication and understanding early on which has allowed for healthy back and forth as you've grown together. So many marriages lack this and fall apart because of it. It's great to see that being a priority for you guys! And, of course, mutual love, not only for each other but passions that you share and enjoy separately. You can see the respect you have for each other through this. Again, it's incredible. Thank you for showing us what marriage should look like!

    Y’all are so blessed to have each other. I have been praying asking God to bless me with a godly spouse with similar qualities as Peter because I am 90% blind and have severe asthma. It takes a special person to want to be with someone like me with disabilities & chronic illness.

    Hopefully someone is out there waiting to treat me like Peter treats you Mary. I’ve already made a mistake once and I’m not brave enough to go back out there again. But as usual you give me hope that there might be.

      @The.Plague 4 года назад +2

      I've made the mistake more than once myself, so I understand how it is. However, they say there's someone for everyone. Just have faith, I'm sure you'll each find the one for you. Just pray for God to lead you, not for someone to lead you, and you'll be fine.

      Ask God for a vision in increments of how you'd go visit. I even visited the pastor during the week to discuss the tenants of the church and he knew I would be there on Sunday. You can get a sense of how the Church operates.
      I once said I could feel love in the congregation, so I knew the people were well loved.

    Okay so when I was in college my close friend and I would get to a point in conversation where we weren't necessarily fighting but we needed to be "separated" to talk about something, or talk silently, so we would literally go to the computer lab together, sometimes sit next to each other, get online and talk about it there.

    Love hearing your stories. I'm so glad y'all found a church home and were able to make friends so quickly. I've had a hard time finding a church home and I've lived here for most of my life. I grew up in a church home but my senior year of high school our church split (and not on good terms, unfortunately). I attended a different church during college that I loved but after 3-4 years they ended up splitting as well. Since then I've had a really hard time with trust when it comes to churches. I know that no church is perfect but it's still hard. I go to my parent's church but it just doesn't feel like my church, if that makes any sense. I'm such an introvert and since I use a wheelchair part time now I'm embarrassed to go check out different churches on my own. I've enjoyed going to church online recently but I know I need to actually get out and be a part of a community.

Anyway, seeing Peter's face when he saw the Ruby-Throated hummingbird and knew the name and was just so sweet. (:

    Who buys Peter’s shirts? I love his shirts. It’s like someone takes great care to choose them.
    Peter reminds me of my Dad. Very easygoing, and always looking very trendy. My Dad loved to shop. He was so glad he had two girls (he was one of four boys, and he was terrified of having boys himself). I miss him so much. Only 3 1/2 years since he died. Does it get any easier Peter? I know you, too, lost your Dad.

    As an introvert with anxiety and a social disability, I need to learn from you. After a few years of recovering from a traumatic experience and the aftermath, I felt like I was ready and 2020 was going to be my year... Then pandemic happened, ugh. I really do hope that there's someone out there for me though. Also, don't put the red hummingbird food in your feeder! The dye is toxic to them, just use a mixture of sugar and water.

    I knew you didn’t have any feeders in your garden. Funny you just mentioned them. I had seen them in a friend’s garden in Colorado ( an American family who lived next door in my previous house in U.K. ) . I tried to discreetly take a picture of them but they are so quick and I was unlucky. They are so cute. Love and hugs Geraldine xxxx

    Hello! I've been watching y'all for years & the way you handle chronic illness is very similar to my approach.
    My question is about how you shave Ollie. I have a Maltipoo & struggle to groom him due to my disabilities. I wonder what trimmer you use as it takes me several hours & I never get the chunks of hair like you do. I pay for days afterwards! I need to go over him again & again to get him trimmed.
    Can you tell me the trimmer you use & any tips you may have?
    Thanks ya'll! Ya'll are always in my prayers!

    You guys are awesome and I always look forward to seeing how you guys are doing and what you all are up to. I've been following for since you guys started and I pray for you guys each and every day. By the way, At about 11:25 on the video it looked like Ollie Boy was itching Peter on the neck. Lol! Have a great week! Love and hugs from Florida!
