How did you meet your significant other?! Would love to hear! I may not be able to reply to all of the stories, but I really enjoy reading your comments!

I met my husband when I was 18. I met him April 9, 1981, we got married May 16, 1981...I was still 18 and he was 23. Yes the next month. 1 month and 7 days later and we are now in our 39th year. He and I just knew God had put us together. We also stay married for life, we have never talked about divorce....Not ever. We are so in love and are best friends...God meant him for me and me for him and it will be that way for life. People have asked us how we are so happy, love being married, and how we do it.....I always say Keep God in your life and marriage and it is easy to have a wonderful marriage.

Love your story, we also saved sex until marriage and been married for 34 years, we only dated for 4 months. We still hold hands and flirt with each other. God is the center of a happy marriage

I had the “this will be your husband” as well, after reading redeeming love and then thinking about the guys in our church, and heard God say ‘he’s the one.’ I didn’t even know him at all other than his name. And wow how life changes for you once the Lord tells you something you’ve been waiting for a while. God is so kind.

Ok this video was so fun! I'm so glad you shared your story! It seems like you were both just what each other needed!🧡🧡

You guys will look back at this video 40 years from now and will say, "life was beautiful".

I like that you and Nolan traveled before having a child. My husband and I did that for a whole year and my in-laws commented a lot that all that money could go toward a down payment for a house! They later said, as they read our letters home, that we were building memories that would last a lifetime!

After a disastrous relationship with my first love in early 20's and a lot of frogs later I decided to stay single and swore never to marry! At 37 someone came into my life and that was it, thankfully, as when he first asked me for my phone number I almost gave him a false one because I was afraid to get involved ever again. Well, 10 months later we were married and I thank God everyday that I gave him the right number. He is my best friend, a good Christian man and an all-around wonderful man. God is good. I love your story!!!!!

After 34 years my husband and I still adore each other & it’s clear in your eyes you two share the same blessing ♥️

That is NUTS with the roses! That is so amazing and special ❤️❤️❤️

Your film and editing work are so beautiful in the kayaking segment. Amazing job

What a beautiful story. I love that! My husband and I were introduced at a fake Bible study that was set up by our moms haha. Problem was that he brought his friend and his friend and I ended up dating for three months. It quickly ended when I found out he had a lot of problems and was a terrible person. So my husband and I were good friends for a year and then dated for three. He was seemingly a strong Christian and so I had all the confirmation I needed. Right after the wedding he changed completely. We had about ten rough years but neither of us believed in divorce. Now we have been married nearly thirty years and it has been tough sometimes, good times here and there, but it has been an act of obedience to stay committed. We love each other, rarely if ever fight, so that is good. But how surprised I was that all the signs were good, all the doors open, all the boxes checked, and plenty of time to truly get to know exactly who he was....and I was still fooled. But God is good, and Jesus is my eternal bridegroom! I’m thankful that my husband is my partner in this life but I have Jesus for eternity ❤️ this life is a breath it is so short. And had my husband been perfect or near perfect I would never have longed for my relationship with Jesus as much as I have. May God continue to bless your marriage!

My beloved visited me in a dream this morning and gave me a hug. We wished we could be young again and have another child. I woke up with long forgotten memories of our amazing adventure camping for the summer in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, in 1973, surrounded by the beautiful views, the boulder trails and the Cold River. We were so happy. A few years later we had a precious beloved son who looked just like his dad. He was a great blessing to us both. They both are sleeping with Jesus now and I miss them. Jay passed away in 2013 and our son died of cancer in 2019 at age 41. I look forward to being reunited in heaven. I saw your video pop up and watched it, since it was perfect for my day of remembering. Thank you. You are special people. Sometimes I can’t watch your videos with your son because it reminds me how much I loved my son .

What a nice testimony!!! I am the wife from Paeppchen. 1979 I asked the Lord for three signs as well because my then boyfriend has had an alcoholic father and he was almost 4 years younger than I. In His mercy the Lord showed me that he was the right man for me! In the beginning we have had our ups and downs but these confirmations gave me a lot of strength. We are happily married and I am so pleased for His leading!

This one had me in a pool of tears! What an amazing love story. The filming, music score, old footage and photos are perfect! Everything Xander is cream on top of the cake!

Thank you for being so open about your courtship and your "hands-off" policy. This was super informative and interesting!

Aww, your story is so sweet! And you two are adorable together! ❤️

People who were not into relationship has the most meaningful Love stories! And that's true!

How sweet!! Great videography at the beginning. Love the bloopers too. My husband and I met at church. We practice faith-based marriages where a man prays about who he should marry and then goes to his church elder (the lead minister of the specific church congregation). Then that elder either sends a message to the girl to come in for a visit to get the proposal or sends the proposal to her elder if she’s in a different congregation (same denomination). Sometimes the girl doesn’t get or want the name right away but will pray about whether she’s ready for marriage in the first place. Then she can get the name and pray for a yes or no with or without signs/scripture verses, etc., but ultimately looking for peace about it. Then she gives her answer and if yes, they talk or meet, they announce the engagement over the pulpit on Sunday, and typically get married in about 3-6 months. We don’t advocate divorce either, and our church marriages have a pretty great success rate. Anyway, my husband asked for me, he didn’t know me but had a dream about a girl all in white, and I worked as a nurse and stopped at a New Years gathering after worked and had my all white dress/pantyhose/shoes (the way nurses dressed back in the day), and it was exactly like he had seen me in the dream. I don’t have any spectacular story for my answer other than a yes. We’ve been married 27 years. It’s had its ups and downs, but we have God as the center or top of the triangle, and we are making it! (I didn’t go back and proofread this)

Yall are so cute....I love that you have so much preyoutube footage! I was so amused at the b-roll and past footage that your man was so smiley and skipping over logs and then it would cut to current and he's so straightfaced just sitting there while you talk! It made me chuckle. I'm always interested to see how God is intertwining lives together for his glory no matter the bumps and bruises along the way. Keep on keeping on sister, you have an eye for videography for sure :)

Happy Anniversary! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing this story with us! It was such a sweet treat to watch and I wish you both all the Blessings this life can give you.

Your story, your love, your example in faith. Made me cry tears of joy. I am a faith filled woman whose husband of 21 years he was abusive starting on the first day of our honeymoon. I knew I made a covenant to the Lord so I stayed for 21 yrs. after too much to even share here it ended. I am 56 and have been alone for 15yrs. I don’t know if God will ever allow or create a new love or marriage for me. I just know watching you two and you both with Zander brings my heart joy. It’s bittersweet but joy nonetheless. Thank you for sharing your truth, your faith and your love. You are helping to heal my wounds and God, my father, does His work in me. Many blessings to the three of you!!! Paula Marie from Lethbridge Alberta Canada !!! ( wonder where you were in Alberta ?!?!!’)

God is so good. You two seem perfect with one another, and with Bubba! And Janine your editing skills are superb. You show your heart through your videos.

I so enjoyed your story. How very much I love hearing how couples have kept themselves for marriage and not been pressured by society. May God bless your family richly.

I have come back and watched this video about four times in the past year or so, perhaps longer. I love to hear your story and it reminds me of my trepidation about marriage and so on years ago. I love the innocence way of your courtship which makes things so very special and so right. My husband and I were high school sweethearts and married five years after graduation. We are now in our 54th year of marriage! Thank you for sharing this.......it is so refreshing to listen to your story! Blessings

So sweet, so pure! I love how the Lord always calmed your fears ❤ We are fortunate that you've always enjoyed documenting life on video. I know it took some effort to fish out all of those clips. I enjoy your sense of humor and style of sharing so much! Loved all the cute clips of trying to tell a story around a toddler!

What a beautiful story. 💞 Also the music in your videos is on point with everything! What talent!🙂

I love all your old video clips!! So endearing

Made me cry alittle😍 such a beautiful love story. You have amazing videography skills. I just love your channel. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank-you! My husband and I are still in love after 14 years of marriage😊 So I'm not the only Mennonite girl who didn't fall in love head over heels and go through dating madly in love?! didn't expect to find a kindred spirit on KZfaq, I wish you didn't live so far away!

What a nice story; best wishes for many more years of wedded bliss !

U did an awesome job videoing this video!!! I loved it

Thank you for sharing how God worked in each of your life's and brought you together. What a precious love story! God writes the best love stories! I had just turned 18 when I met my husband. Becoming an "adult" made me ponder the course of my life. I returned to my home church and a few weeks later I met my husband at a surprise birthday party for his sister. Long story short we were married 10 months later and next month it will be 45 years ❤️ I am truly blessed!

This is amazing! Happy Anniversary! Your family is such an inspiration. May God continue to bless Y’all! ❤️

so interesting that you've been filming your life for so long! i love this, so sweet!!

My heart just melted from how sweet that story was! I totally get the anxiety of it all, I’m one of those people who overthink too. Hopefully I won’t stress too much when my time comes for love (crossing my fingers here). Thank you for sharing such a real and wonderful story with us. Happy Anniversary!

What a great story! I liked learning about your boundaries and choices in dating and marriage.

Happy Anniversary! Very sweet video, and Nolan was a peach to play along.

Love your story! Y'all are so sweet together. Thank you for sharing.

Your story is AMAZING!!😍💕 the roses story brought me to tears🌹🌹 praying God is always my your side and may ur love story continue for years to come😍🤗

Happy anniversary, and many more to come! It's such an inspiration to hear your story! God bless you ❤

This beautiful love story brought tears to my eyes! Happy Anniversary ❤

What a wonderful life story. You two were meant for each other. You're such a beautiful woman. Thanks for sharing.

This is one of my favorite videos of y'all!!! Y'all are so sweet!

This is such a delight. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you all!

Just got to watch this tonight. Thank you for sharing! It was beautiful how you met each other. Happy Anniversary!!

Beautiful opening. Beautiful story. Just found your channel and you’re doing a very good job representing your culture and such. Take care!

You both are such genuine people! Thank you for sharing😉🍁

Best video ever!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful love story. Ours is one of beauty from ashes and we are so, so grateful to God.

Lovely to hear how the Lord paired you both together! There's a great deal of blessings when you do it God's way. My husband and I had our first kiss at the altar 8 years ago - it wasn't easy waiting but so worth it.

Loved hearing your story!!❤️

Happy, happy, anniversary!! I just LOVE you so much!

It's like a sabbath anniversary. You're blessed!

Beautiful love story!! Thank so much for sharing. God Bless You!

Soooo sweet. Thank you for sharing :) I just love the picture of both Gods faithfulness and pursuit and Nolan’s pursuit of you. So so sweet. 💕 I also love that you have so many video clips!! So fun to document your life this way. I can see your love for each other

I love the fact that even 'just' dating was such a big deal for you two! I am NOT used to that idea at all. Marriage yes, but dating was not a big deal in my surroundings. I don't have a Christian upbringing and got saved around 10 years into our marriage, so that is obviously a big difference. But I don't see this in my Christian surroundings now either. But finding out of this person is going to be your husband for the rest of your life IS actually a big deal. So good to have been more conscious of that :)

Thanks for sharing. You are a great couple. Happy anniversary 💗

Oh wow, your story of dating and faith with God is so adorable and beautiful. God bless you both xx ❤️

You two are adorable. I love the strength and compassion you give each other. Love from the UK x

Oh my gosh the intro was just beautiful! Oh how I would love to kayak right now on such still waters. 😊

My favorite video yet! So funny and sweet. I didn’t know so many things about you guys! Love it!

You both are so great!love it

Such a lovely way to share ! Thank you !

What a beautiful journey y'all are living and Zander is a hoot!

I love watching/hearing your love story. It's amazing to hear how much God wants every single one of us to be content and will show us the way our lives should move. No question that God has put you in the youtube life. To be that person who can encourage/remind us what God can do if we put him first! Thank you for an amazing story!!!

What a sweet love story! Many blessings in your years ahead!

What a sweet story! Thank you for sharing it with us!

You guys are adorable!!! Thanks for sharing your story!! I had a lot of anxiety before getting married too. But, it’s been the best thing ever!! I’m so thankful God helped me to work through all the anxiety and get married. It’s truly a blessing.

One of the best videos on KZfaq!!!

I met my husband on the internet, lol. Not a dating site, before those existed. Second marriage for both of us & neither of us were interested in getting married again but God had other ideas. He's the love of my life & such a Godly man. I'm so blessed to have found him & God worked it all out. All I can say is you're never too old for love. Just make sure you put God first in your marriage & live your life for him. I can't imagine my life without him.

Beautiful... the roses story was pretty special!

You guys are so beautiful and funny together! Loved this video. God Bless you guys! 💛

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

What a great story! Thanks for sharing :)

I'm impressed that you have all your old videos organized and would love to know how you organize them!

I loved this video above all others. Thanks for sharing this beautiful love story of the perfectly matched couple! God had His hand in this one for sure! And.... they're living happily ever after! Love you guys and God bless you both!

Happy Anniversary!!!! Thank you for sharing your love story 💕

So beautiful, I cried.

I love this it is so very sweet! I grew up in church but my husband and I met at a place I worked. We were not right in the Lords eyes at first and I knew it but fought it and we got married anyway but the Lord took my husband to Afghanistan as a soldier and used that to turn our lives around and now we live in Maine and he is a pastor! I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world and I love him so much and he is so good to me! I firmly believe in how God works in our lives and shows you things as he showed you!! Thank you again for your story!

Happy Anniversary to you both. Love your honesty. My hubby is also an Oregonian. We lived there for 8 years after leaving Fairbanks, Alaska. I am from Michigan and now we live in Massachusetts and Michigan. I meant my husband in Germany at a bbq. We dated for 2 years and now we have been married for 27 years. This was an enjoyable video. Zander is just precious.

Love your story, love your love for each other, love following along with your life! You made me smile a lot in this video and get goosebumps at the way you prayed and God answered! He’s so good!! ❤️

I love when you and your Husband do videos together. Your channel is definitely my favorite so far. Tina

Truly a beautiful love story!

Great video 💜 Love the bloopers, and I laughed out loud to myself when you were mad because he didn't propose 😆 I love your pure courtship,and that's also how ours was. Definitely no regrets! Marriage is so much fun and we've been married for almost 8 years and its still getting better 😉

Happy Anniversary to you!!! What a wonderful story that only the Lord could write. My husband and I met first on EHarmony and dated for 5 years. We were in our fifties and never had been married. The Lord put us together as well. Too long to tell all, but I knew he was the one when he burst into song when we were hiking on a trail in a forest preserve park. We love nature and the rest is history. We have been married for 9 yrs now. We both thought we would be doomed to be single. Marriage is the best when you have taken the time to know someone and keep the Lord the center of your relationship. God bless you both!

Aww thanks for sharing! God writes the best love stories ❤️. I met my husband when my family was in South Dakota serving in missions and his youth group came out for a work project. We were married 7 yrs in June 🙂. Happy anniversary to you guys!

My father always said "God willing". Loved hearing you say that x

I love your story and i can tell that God has truly blessed your marriage. May you have many joyful years to come!

What a wonderful love story....it was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Anniversary and I wish you many many more happy years. Have a Blessed day.

You two touch my heart! Beautiful!

I’m amazed you have all of this footage

Beautiful family !!! Thank you for sharing with us. God’s blessings to you all.

You have a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it here. 😎

Happy Anniversary to you two!! I just love your videos...

Nothing better than clean Inside - god bless your family Greetings from kuwait 🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼

Loved your story. Wish I had one like that to tell. Love my husband, but wish I would have waited until he came to know the Lord. We will be married 62 years this year. God bless you and your son.

Happy anniversary and thanks for sharing that wonderful love story

Thanks for sharing your story! ❤

Thank you for sharing how God wrote your love story! I love how you prayed for 2 dozen roses and God just answered your prayer! I met my husband at Bible college and I remember praying so often that I would be sure he was the one for me! And I remember the first time he got me roses, we had just started to say I love you to each other.
