In my line of work, I see a lot of love stories. Amazing love stories. It’s one of the things that I really really love about my job.

But the greatest love story I want to share today is not the story of one of my couples. It is of a couple from my church. The wife, Carol, fought MS for 26 years of their marriage. She was in a wheelchair the entire time I’ve gone to the church. I have never seen someone care and love more for his wife like Mark did. I can’t do their story justice at all, so, I wanted to re-share a testimony they gave at church.

It is a long one (45 minutes), so if you don’t have time, I recommend jumping to:
9:00 – this is where Mark sings to Carol – super sweet
20:00-23:30ish – this is THE best part. Trust me, if you watch anything, watch this!
28:30 – this is where Mark answers the question “what advice would you give to an engaged couple?”

I got to see this wonderful couple at a few weddings. My favorite thing about them was when Mark would take Carol, in her wheelchair, and dance with her on the dance floor. 🙂

I think what makes their story SO great is that their love for each other came from their deep love of Christ. He was at the center of everything for them. They gave Him all the glory for what they had to walk through and wouldn’t have changed a thing. If I have half of their faith in God and love for each other, I will be an overwhelmingly blessed woman.
