    What a beautiful film. I doubted that men like Ray existed, but if anyone is out there reading this, please know that they do. Selfless, faithful, strong, and dedicated to their wives - I married one and I thank God every day for him.

      Ray is like a saint! He starts off willing to accept & marry a woman he just met who was pregnant out of wedlock & raise her child as his own then just continues to build on his awesomeness from there. This movie literally has to work it to show he does have some human imperfections but he is definitely way up in the stratosphere in the ratings of true gentlemen 🥰

    I’m 1963 I married a very special man who was also named Ray. We had barely been married for 10 years when I lost him to brain cancer. He was only 37 years old. But he left me with three precious gifts. A young girl of 9 years, another girl of 6 years and a boy of 4 years. Ray was a faithful man, my two girls married faithful men and I have 6 granddaughters all married to faithful men. I’m 78 years old now and I live with my beautiful oldest daughter and her lovely husband. They take such good care of me and spoil me rotten. I’m sooo truly blessed. 😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      I wish I could say the same. It seems my parents had a difficult marriage but I hoped that I would find a good man but my life didn't turn out that way. I still have two children but my siblings passed away. It wasn't easy living in a dysfunctional family but life doesn't always don't turn out as we hope it would. Divorced due to emotional and pyhsical abuse. I am better alone.

    i met him through a friend
    three days latter we went on a
    date by ourselves.
    told my friend i’m going to marry
    him one day.
    I was 16 and now we have been married for 61 years. yes the
    16 is not a typeo
    best movie i have seen in
    years.
    my George has dementia

    who I am .
    but every time i change his
    solid dipper he say thank you
    for taking care of me.
    “ for richer for poorer
    in sickness and health “

      Another lost woman filled with Marxist Communist / Femi-Nazi propaganda, which has brainwashed her into believing, that she's not happy unless she is a (so called) independent woman. No one is independent, as we are all interdependent. A man needs a woman and a woman needs a man. Helen of Troy was the downfall of two kingdoms, and the character in this movies represents the same destruction. Men and women are not equal but men and women are equally important. Does she finally figure this out? 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

My great uncle ( unrelated) found out and offered to marry her. She was a beautiful woman. He treated her with great respect and they never had any further children. She died early but her daughter was treated very well by all the family.

      Yeah these kind of flicks used to be all over the place in the 1990s. Mostly TV movies that I can recall, a lot of them. I agree they could make good wholesome films that aren’t corny and over the top. Maybe there’s just no demand for them? And television is so different now. There’s so many formats and options now. It’s possible the networks don’t have the financing either and stick to the series formats.

I was single for 5 years when I prayed and asked God to send me the man who He knew was right for me. Two weeks later I met Mr. Right. We married a year later and 33 years later he is still my gift from God and I still thank Him for this man every day.

I know initially he was irritated when ever she brought up what happened, but he also showed how much he listened to her and saw her pain. I also loved when Martha said, "there's one thing I never heard you say and that's how you feel about Ray". Martha told her in som many words that she fell in love with Ray.

People love Ray for his kind heart, but I think Ray's sister is also a generous woman with a positive energy, she was kinda shocked when Livy wanted to leave, but never judged her at all.

    I was brought up in a dysfunctional middle-class family with authoritarian parents whom LOVE as in this movie was completely absent. I realized much later in life that even my parents never experienced LOVE in their families either and that gave me solace and peace in my old age to be grateful after all.
    This movie brought lot of tears to my eyes and wish I had some of the LOVE when I was growing up. I am not complaining and actually been blessed throughout my life, however, missed lots hugs, kisses and encouragements when I was younger.

    This movie has touched me so much! Most of all, his positive spirit (face to a woman with a past and with no apparent intentions of having a true marriage with him) , his generosity, his forbearance and his gentleness! Due to all these, he finally made her love him!
    I was never like that in my relationships and that 's a big lesson for me...
    The second thing that was unexpected, is that he (with no studies, cultural and social status, no experiences on love affairs, as she has) appears in the beginning as a simple farmer with no value at all, but on the course of the events, proves to be more confident than her!

    • @twarrior17
      @twarrior17 Год назад +22

      Yes Eva, I agree with you that Ray was a fine man. I believe he was also very knowledge... what is required to be a sugar beet farmer? Ray had to know when to plant (growing season) and when to harvest this very perishable vegetable for the market. He would need to have learned which sugar beet brand to grow in his type of soil. This would require some study in agronomy. How and what fertization for a good yield, which would require some study in chemistry. What percent of (Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Potassium)? Ray would need a good understanding of accounting to keep accurate records to pay back his loans to the bank after each annual harvest for the money he borrowed for seed, fertizer, and fuel. A simple farmer he was not, he was owner and a sucessful operator of a small business.

      My dear friend in Oregon and I both watch it yearly, and also the original "Anne of Green Gables". We adore this , and met on a double date in 1971! Her husband and my date (best friends) turned out to be handsome, charming cheaters, but she and I are like sisters. So good CAN come from bad situations.
      Her friend from Christian h.s. and she sat down and talked when both had divorced their cheating 1st spouses, and decided to marry. He raised her two children and loves being grandfather to her five grands.
      She had fixed me up with him in 1971, before he had married. He was older and very intense on wanting to marry; and I was just 17 and newly dating, so the chemistry wasn't there on my part. But he was a total gentleman on our one date; and I knew when she and I reconnected and I found out
      they had married that she had a Ray and was a lucky girl. I smile thinking about them together all these years, and their family is always in my prayers.
      God is so good! He is always in the backgound working on our behalf, even when we are unaware and when times look bleak. It is only when we look back over time that we can see how he let everything fall into place to bring about His magnificent Will for our lives. And when you study your family history and learn who your ancestors were and their stories, you become aware and thankful for the threads connecting you to people in history. You see how His hand has covered your family down through the generations.

    I don’t like how Abby was going to start terrible rumors and lies about Ray. I love how Livvy defended him, and told Abby that she couldn’t do that. Abby wanted Livvy for her own selfish reasons, because her husband was sent to war and she was lonely.
    I really enjoy watching her love for him grow a little bit more each time, and after she got the ring, a simple diamond, that was just for her made her realize that the love he had for her was real, and genuine.
    Watching her give birth and name their son after Rays and Martha’s brother was very heartwarming. But when Ray started singing to Daniel, I bawl every time.

    Skeet Ulrich and Keri Russell's performances are subtle but powerful. Each showing compassion for the other as
    they navigate getting to know each other under uncomfortable circumstances.
    Livvy is surprised by Ray's innate wisdom and touched by his gentleness and kindness.
    Ray's horizons are expanded while learning about the interests and dreams of Livvy. Great performances.

    Havent seen Skeet Uhlrich in anything in years. Miss his wonderful acting skills. This was a very real acted show with real history. Living in Colorado is special and was to me from 70s to 2012. Miss the Rockies!

    Great film. God is good. I never appreciated my life, until I had family of my own including 2 beautiful daughters.

    Absolutely refreshing and nourishing to the soul, mind and heart. We need more of these.
