My husband and I were 19 and 18 when we married 51 years ago in June. Everyone thought it wouldn’t last.
I LOVE hearing this! So amazing 🙌
My best friends got married at 17 and 19 in 1982. They raised 4 wonderful children and are still happily married and each other's best friend. Their love for each other was beautiful then and is still now.
May you both have many happy years ahead together❣️
🕊God bless you both❣️😇🎉🎶💝
This is fantastic! Congrats!!
My mom was 19 and my dad was 20 when they got married. They had me 1 year later ... when they got married my dad was in the army so they had that also that made thins hard sometimes but they got through it and I use them as my rolemodel in my life and marriage. ❣
My husband and I got married 6 months after meeting.
We were married 37 years and couldn’t have kids, so we got ginormous dogs.
Ray unexpectedly died at the end of 2020, I’m heartbroken, but I had the most amazing, loving husband and he’s in Heaven.
I’m still a hot mess, but I’m able to talk about him without being hysterical.
Day by day and sometimes hour by hour.
One and done.
I’m so sorry to hear about your tragic loss! Blessed are you for experiencing a love that not everyone does and having beautiful memories you can look back on! All the best to you.
💖🕯️
@@jayaitch88 I’m so sorry for your loss. How amazing that you got to love each other for 37 years. I hope it gets easier as time passes.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm praying for you.💜💜
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalms 34:18 NIV
Bless your heart. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard to love and lose but it's worse to never have that love at all.
I couldn't decide if Derek or Sarah was the lucky one. Now I realize it's Jack.
That's a great question, and the *perfect* answer!
yes!!
Awesome comment!
I love that and it is very true if those to weren't married and doesn't matter what age little jack would not be in this world love u all and love this channel ❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️ I hope this is a little inspiring to those that think opposite
@@Indy__isnt_it perfect question perfect answer!
My mom and dad were 14 and 15 respectively, were married for 58 years. They passed away 47 days apart. So in 48 years they were only apart for 47 days! You guys act so much like they did!
How wonderful you got to witness their love❣️
May God un-break your heart and fill you with HIS peace❣️
🕊God bless you❣️😇🎉🎶💝
Wow!!!! One couldn’t go on without the other, BEAUTIFUL 💕
They do say you can pass from a broken heart, that’s so sad but beautiful at the same time. Wow 😭😭😭
Wow!! Thats amazing!
❤
❤️❤️❤️
My husband and I got married after knowing each other 9 days. I was 19 and he was 21. It’s almost our 46th anniversary. I still adore my handsome, gentleman husband.
9 days ?! Waw 😮
@@sarahak880 Grandma always told me to marry a man I met at church. She didn’t give a specific timeline! Lol. He was on leave from the military, and had to report to his new duty station. We even had a small church wedding. God made it happen, and God made it work.
Are you Danny Boniduci and Gretchen in disguise?👨🦰👱♀️ They knew each other one whole day when they got married. It lasted 8 years. 😂😂
Blessed are you amongst women! 💕🙏🏽
@@margybernard I truly am! Thank you.
🌻I was 17 and my hubby was 21. Been married now for 44 years! It’s not always a cake walk. Change together. ♥️
I'm 17 now. Also that's great hope you both always stay happy together.
It’s wonderful to hear about couples who have worked to stay married & in love, especially during a time when marriage almost seems disposable to so many other couples. My parents have also been amazing role models in the same manner. They are currently less than a year away from 70 yrs of marriage. Unfortunately, my dad is in the last stages of hospice (cancer) & it is very clear that he won’t make it to those 70 years. My heart is completely broken, but I’m so proud of the way my mom is currently handling so very much. I can’t even begin to imagine the way our lives will be in the coming months. Please enjoy every moment you get together in the life you have created & earned as a family. Thank you for another happy thought that I will weave into others, including my happy family memories while we are trying to cope & move through the next short weeks we are given.
My husband and I got married at 18 and 20... we are 20 years strong and just paid off our house. 5 kids 2 in college and loving life.
Hubby and I married as teens ... 40 years ago. Still in love with this noble, decent, humble man. I have two sons exactly like him. I'm a lucky lucky woman.
I got married young. I was 19 and my boyfriend was 21.
40 years strong and 9 grandchildren later. Compromise is key. Still madly in love. With God all things are possible ❤️🙏🏻
Congrats on 40 years! Compromise and apologies. When ONLY one compromises and apologizes it is miserable.
There is a couple in my congregation that says they try to ‘be better at’ compromising and apologizing than their partner. They are 82 and 85 and look at each other like teenagers with goo goo eyes
Amen.
Amen !
My parents were married in their early 20's. Celebrated their 62nd anniversary last year.
I was 19 and my husband was 20. Yes we heard the same thing as y’all did. The arrangement was that I would stay in college while my husband would work full time. First question asked was do you have to get married. The answer was no. We want to. I did become pregnant with our first child 9 months after we were married. His father told us that marriage is not a bed of roses. I answered back with that it was. A bed of roses have thorns. Things that do happen. We also heard that it would not last because we were too young and didn’t know what we wanted. We have been married for 46 years. Yes it has been rough and ups and downs. But would not have it any other way. If y’all would accept one thing about marriage, I would say for a successful marriage is to have God at the center of your marriage. Money means very little to us today. It is spending time together. Just love each other and ALWAYS tell each other that you love them everyday!!! Don’t get upset with little things and be very appreciative over thoughtful things.
Got married at 18 and 20 and will be celebrating 10 years this year. Been together 14 years total. Best decision I have ever made. Nobody thought we would make it either.
My husband and I got married when I was 19 and he was 22! We have been together for 36 years! Best wishes for you guys!!
BEAUTIFUL WELL DONE congratulations for everything amazing.
I'm so glad, I found your channel. My hubby and I got married young as well. We were 19 and 21, and this June it will be our 27 yrs. anniversary. We didn't have an accident to deal with. I do understand growing up together and learning as you go. I was diagnosed with some pretty major health conditions that we've had to learn to deal with these last 10 yrs. I think learning together has become second nature to us because of learning together young. Just remember that you're in love and that will always help.
I LOVE this. So good to hear that! Thank you 🙏🙏
Does he genuinely treat you with respect and does he not watch porn?
I know those are weird questions but I’m starting to lose faith that there are still men who genuinely love and treat their wives with respect
I'm 55 and have been remarried for 14 years. I got sick a year and a half after we were married and he loves me unconditionally! I love this man more each day were together!
@@nadinegomez8858 They are out there you just have to have faith!
@@nadinegomez8858 Yeah. They are out there. If you are looking for the right guy, you need to know yourself, be clear with your values, be honest about that, trust your intuition, search for the right guy. It can take a lot of looking these days, but keep at it.
I love how you both are AUTHENTIC!! Always be PROUD of your marriage and celebrate your love! Please don’t allow the “social norms” pressure you into anything! I absolutely believe your partnership is the “right way” grow /learn together this builds a solid family union. The best gift you can give your children is a solid union with each other.
You both are a pleasure to watch, so genuine and the love you have together and with Jack is a joy.
Life throws a lot at us good and not so good but if you hang on to each other and to the Lord Jesus you will make it. You will prosper in all you do.
Bless the three of you and any more children you have , may you all stay well and safe.
I have seen you two on tik tok and as im in my early 50's is so heartwarming to see you as a young couple, you are such a positive role model to your peers in a world where so much is fake and family values are somewhat lost. your parents must be very proud ❤
I got pregnant at 18 and unfortunately our plan fell through because of outside influences, but when our son was 8 months old, and we were 19 and 20 years old, we finally tied the knot. We’re now almost 21 and 22 and expecting baby #2!
Ahhh I'm so happy to hear that! Congrats!🙌🏼😘
Wishing you the best!
Wishing you the best!
17 and 19 when we got married...only knew each other 4 months...celebrated 33 years in February😍
My older sister married at 16 she was pregnant she is still married today to a amazing guy for 50 plus years now it works.
18 and 20.. been married 18 years now.. half of my life! After adventures and two children, I can’t imagine it any differently! Looking forward to the rest of our days together.
Thanks for not being afraid to touch on the harder times! We definitely all go through some version of it in our marriages and relationships, and social media can make a lot of us forget that it’s normal to go through difficult things and not feel completely happy all the time. Love following you guys! I wish we lived in Hawaii so we could be friends. 😂❤️
Awe this was so sweet! Thank you so much! I know we’d be friends🤗🤗
As a 50+ year old, non-grandma- I’ve fallen for Jack! Thank you both for sharing Jack with your social community!!!
We married in less then 6 months at 18 and 25. We just celebrated our 34th. It is a commitment. We have raised 6 kids, they are all well adjusted successful adults. We’ve done a great job. We finally are back to the two of us again, and it’s great. I think people don’t realize that it’s really hard sometimes. You have to continually better yourself. Keep yourself interesting for each other. Learn to talk and listen. I wish people could all experience what it is to have this life partner, that always has your back. Is always there for you. I dread the day one of us dies and the other has to go on.
Like so many others that have commented....I was just 19 (by 2 wks) and hubby was just 21 --- it was good yet hard to be married young. And he was in the Navy, and left for a 7mo deployment right after our 1st anniversary. I agree, getting married young was the best decision we made, yes it was hard at times, but it lasted thru 8moves (including to Guam), 2 kids, and then I lost him to cancer just shy of our 45th anniversary. Enjoy your lives as much as you've been doing.
So sorry,lozt mine after 55 yrs.true love makes it sooooo hard.
I meet my husband when I was 17 he was 18- I fell pregnant after 5 months of dating and let’s say we had another 2 more children - THEN we got married when I was 23 - I’m 37 now so 20 years together married 14years (this year in dec )
Age isn’t a huge thing in my book it’s wether or not your mature enough and love each other enough to make it work - opinions of others are just that opinions - you do what works for you - and looks like it work for you guys
My husband was 19 and I 16 when we got married. That was 48 years ago. We have 3 wonderful children and the cutest grandchildren in the whole world. Like every couple we've had our ups and downs but our love and commitment to each other gets stronger every day.
Everyone has, up's and downs in life and they will come at any age! Better to get married and be in love, and have the person you want.
In my church everyone goes to college before they graduate from high school,and people get married younger. When you come back from your two year mission, and you have lot's, of college done it's not as hard. Me and my husband just turned 23 and that's kinda old, but we looked high school age. It's been wonderful to be by my husbands side, we have been married for 30 years and in every card ♦️ he gives me he says I wish I could of married you sooner ,so I could love you longer! And I feel the same! Getting married younger is natural, you don't have all the drama of having sex and dating a bunch! When you follow bGod and put him first , it will work out!
NO ONE knows down the road what’s going to happen. Life is short. Live it and love it to the fullest.
Very True! This couple do seem to have a lot of support around them,from both families, and a very mature couple as well, lovely future ahead.
You both have figured out “the secret to life”
Perseverance, commitment, trust, respect for yourself and each other, live in the moment.
You are more mature within yourselves and together as a couple than many adults I know still struggling to cope with life. God Bless you, your forever youthfulness, and commitment to raising well adjusted, kind, loving children. Jack will be surfing soon in a video and I look forward to seeing that! 🤙🏼🌸🌊
I was 28 my husband was 36. He proposed after 2 weeks. We were married 9 months later. We will be celebrating 37 years of marriage in September.
When it's right you know it.
Anne
I was 18 and my husband was 23 and we've been married for 16 years. Had a ton of people say it wouldn't last and it was just puppy love and we're the only ones in our friend group who are still happily married.
thank you so much for this video.. my husband and i got married a year ago last weekend, he was 22 and i was 20. so much of what you’ve said has resonated with me and has given me peace - our first year has been so difficult and i find myself comparing myself to other couples marriages often.
thank you for being honest!!❤️
Does he genuinely treat you with respect and does he not watch porn?
I know those are weird questions but I’m starting to lose faith that there are still men who genuinely love and treat their wives with respect
Marriage is not easy my dear. Who taught you to ride a bike ? Now who taught you (and your spouse)how to have a loving healthy relationship ? We just mirror what we know from childhood and that isn't always a good thing. Don't be hard on yourself or your husband. Be compassionate toward each other. In my opinion conflict resolution is the most important thing you can learn. No two people will see the same. Communicate without yelling,name calling or giving the cold shoulder. If you're upset talk when you've relaxed. Anyway I hope your marriage is a success
@@nadinegomez8858 that goes for women too. Can't tell you how many times I've seen a wife talk to her husband like he's a disobedient child
@Nadine Gomez As a single in mid-life, I get discouraged at times, too. Are there any men who are age appropriate, and not bitter from divorce? Either way, I figure if I'm out there serving, among people of faith, basically *living* my values, I'm much more likely to meet a guy who shares those values! 😉
@Laughter Addict ooh! Yes. Disrespect is a HUGE red flag for me--including in a man who's willing to allow it! "We teach others how to treat us by what we're willing to permit."
My husband and I were 21 and 22 when we married and we're heading to 31 years this year and are still in love x 2 beautiful son's 28 and 25 , don't listen to anyone, stay in love, stay happy xx
Thanks for the video and for sharing! I also got married young, and we've known each other since we were 15; its been 17 years together now, and we are only stronger together as the time goes by! It's awesome to hear how it was for other young married couples to handle family and friends reactions to marrying young.
Love to hear this! That’s so awesome 🤍
I'm 43 years old and never been married. But let me just say that u 2 are so inspiring. I don't follow many people on CZcams I'm mostly on here for business but one day I saw one of the short videos sara made about her husband with their baby while she was at work and it absolutely touched my ♡ when I watched it. U both are such wonderful parents and have a beautiful little guy. I see so many fake people and couples just wanting views on CZcams but when I watch u guys I feel such a sense of realism that is super hard to find these days- thank u for sharing your lives with everyone out there. For me I found hope that one day I can have something as amazing as what I see between the 2 of you! I feel like when God created each of u he definitely had the other one in mind. I've never seen a more amazing union between 2 people or a more beautiful family. I definitely think that you have something very special and I wish your little family nothing but total happiness and love for all the years to come. I look forward to watching your videos when I have the chance. I always feel more positive and actually happier afterwards. Thank you for touching my life without even knowing it. Bless you
Hi guys. The first time I got married, I was 21 and he was 24. We separated one week shy of our 2nd anniversary. I was way too immature for marriage. The second, and last time, I got married, I was 35 and he was 50. We've now been married 21 years, but it hasn't been easy. I found out in 2001 that I have some brain damage. When my mom was pregnant with me, she had 2 heart attacks in her 6th month. They really didn't know that much about brain damage back then, so I was labeled a difficult child. Now that I know, I'm constantly working on myself. I feel like I relate to Derek in that area. Keep working on yourself. It's all worth it in the end.
There is constructive arguing, (listing pros and cons to come to a final decision and expressing your feelings about each idea) and then there is attack arguing. Make sure you don't mentally or emotionally or psychologically attack each other when you disagree. I like to use the "This is what I heard you say, this is what I think you mean, is that correct?" conversation; so you never have misunderstandings or assume each others thoughts and feelings. You never want to think 20 years from now; at what point did I or my spouse become each others enemy. I love the way that both of you have learned to solve life's problems together and work together to make decisions. That is what a successful love story is all about. I love hearing your stories! Yes, it does give others strength to see that. You also give your viewers a lot to smile and laugh about in a discouraging world. Thank you for that.
I’m a new subscriber and I just obsessed with how adorable your family is and the love you’ll show each other. What a blessing
So happy you’re here! Thank you!
Same here
I love how authentic and genuine your beautiful family is ❤
I was 17 and my husband 20. Next year we will celebrate 50 years of ups and downs but lots of love!
We got married at 18 and 19,
Paid less than $1k for our own wedding and made it 33 years. When you know, you know. 🥰. Love and blessings to this beautiful family.
We got married at 19 and 21, and have been going for 12 years and counting!! 4 kids later and our home is a strong and happy place. In our culture getting married young is normal for exactly the reasons you said, you grow together, you don't come in with preconceived ideas and you are ready to set out in life together. You share all of your dreams and they become your shared dreams. So happy that you guys are really happy together, love your videos!! Jack is divine!! Good luck
Even they got married young, they seem to be very responsible and love each other. I am usually against young marriage, like for me 23+ would be fine. But there are exceptions like them, because they cherish each other.
I’ve just come across your channel, Started looking at your birth story (I’m 7 weeks with my 3rd) so wanted to watch someone else’s story.. I’m SO glad to hear that you’re part of a church and wanted to honour God in the way you approached marriage. It’s refreshing! Love how genuine this channel is and you don’t try to be perfect.
Psalm 91, is a perfect psalm to read when you feel anxious in life. Gods got you both, just keep humble and obedient 💕 God bless you and your family.
Love from the UK 🇬🇧 🕊🤍
Talking about your journey is helping so many people. Thank you for your honesty in relationship talk. Keeping it real is important and that's what you do through good times and bad, everything always works out more than fine.
Jack Jack is so cute! It’s so amazing how Derik and Jack have such an amazing bond! Your family is adorable
It’s my favorite thing! Thank you🙏🤍
My husband and I were 16 when we met, 19 when we got married and just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Best wishes to your beautiful family.
I LOVE hearing your insights. I'm 39- been engaged three times(ouch- I know), never married, no kids. A while back I had this epiphany that not every person has a "soulmate" or is meant to be married.... And it changed my entire outlook on things. I rededicated my life to Christ and focused on building myself up. If someone comes along... Maybe we'll see. But at this point I'm so fiercely independent I don't see it happening.
It's fascinating to see people so far on the other end of that spectrum. I NEVER watch "family vloggers"- they feel so artificial and money driven... But finding your shorts.... The love you have for one another and for tiny Jack dude radiates from you! The love of Christ is powerful within you and you're just such a breath of fresh air in this crazy CZcams world. All the best to you beautiful people!💖💖
The first year of marriage... when you do it in the right way...is the hardest. You both are doing pretty awesome at being raw and him.
I really like the idea your church has. Doesn't seem like anyone does what you guys did anymore. knowing you guys waited is like a breath of fresh air!! Love you guys lots!!💞
It doesn't matter what church or denomination.
Every born again Christian should have the respect for themselves a each other.
It is Biblical. Morals do matter in life!
Love this family, stay Happy forever!!!!We got married at a young age also. 41 years and still going. Keep the communications going.
Sarah, you’re very adorable. You both are. You’re such a girl. LOL. You guys are a bright light in a pretty dark world.
I was 17 and my husband 19 that was 39 years ago and he’s still my best friend💕
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! My husband and I got married at 18 and 19, and can definitely say that all of this is so true! It was super hard just having family doubt your decision, but trusting the Lord with it cleared so much doubt for us!! Living life and making those big decisions together is great and wouldn't have it any other way!! So glad you guys are sharing your story, it helps reaffirm others like myself that marriage doesn't have to follow the same timeline as everyone else! You guys rock! :)
We seriously love this! So glad to hear that! Thank you🙏❤️
Does he genuinely treat you with respect and does he not watch porn?
I know those are weird questions but I’m starting to lose faith that there are still men who genuinely love and treat their wives with respect
My son and Dil married at 18. Last year was their 25th anniversary. Both sets of parents tried to get them to just live together for six months. No. They wanted to get married. They didn't have to get our permission, and I wouldn't have stopped them. They've grown up together, had problems, and worked them out. They are still together, but they would be the first to tell you that God is at the front of their marriage. He's the reason they stayed together during the hard times, and enjoy the good times.
Oh you guys, I'm so glad I found your channel. You brighten up my days with your beautiful energy and the love that pours out from you both (Jack too, of course). Thank you for sharing your lives, and for just being so amazing. My heart goes out to you all, much love 💕
My parents were 16 and 18 when they met, 18 and 20 when they married. This year is their 64th wedding anniversary.
They've overcome so many hurdles in their lives, but come through stronger every time. Love overcomes all ♥️ I wish you both a long and blissful life together 🤗
Oh How lovely
My husband and I dated for only 3 months and got married. Had a baby 5 years later and will be celebrating our 45th anniversary in January. Your heart just knows and your faith makes it strong.
I am not in a relationship. not planning to be in one anymore, but I love watching happy couples like you. you guys keep my heart warm because I really feel the love you have for each other. I'm glad you found each other.
I just love you guys! And Derek, your mission trip was cut short but now you're on a new mission with your wife. Sharing these videos is life changing, so thank you.
My grandmother got married to my grandfather when she was 17, when my grandfather was 60 (before i was born) he had a head trauma and because of that became a whole new person. Yet i have never seen people love each other more than my grandparents. The way my grandmother never had the feeling to let him go. And always took care of him.
One thousand thumbs up
Oh how beautiful day you three had. It was. I've started watching & both of you are the same age my sister & her husband were when they were married. Three yrs. later they had their 1st child. In October it will be their 50th wedding anniversary. Best to you both and Gods blessings to you also!!!❤
Awwww, good on you !! The love shines...l turned 18 and hubby ❤ was 19 , High school sweethearts. We had 37 years growing up together (he passed at age 55.we had two girls and two boys, and now lm a great‐gramma almost 82....Our first year was our worst also.! If you're life is half the adventure ours was, your life will be epic. Blessings, love and long ❤ life to you !!!
my brother married his wife - she was 16, he was 21 and married 2 weeks after meeting, they have been married 53 years
My son and daughter-in-law started dating when they were 16 and 19 and were married at 20 and 23. They are very much in love and compatible. You have the same connection they do. I love watching your videos. You are real people and very positive role models. You are setting a great example for other young people. Sometimes you just know and taking a leap of faith is the only course of action. You are lovely people!❤️
my husband & i were 19 & 21 when we got married! 6 months later we moved from Fl to Oahu. my family was very negative about it. this summer we celebrate 4 years of marriage & our sons 1st birthday this October! i think now my family sees that it was the best thing for the both of us. i wouldnt change a thing about getting married young & the struggles that came along with it.
That is so amazing to hear!🙌
Can't wait to hear your story. Fellow TBI survivor here!
Sorry to hear it, but so awesome at the same time!
We were both 20 when we married in 1983. My husbands coworkers put bets on how long we’d last. Being military we lost touch with them but chuckle every anniversary about who’s winning the bet! ❤️Still married! Some days are harder than others but a vow is a vow and we put the Lord in the center of our marriage. Blessings to y’all and your beautiful family.When things are hard pray together and pray for each other!
Putting the Lord in the center is definitely a good recipe for success. Congratulations to you both 💞
I don't know where I've been on you tube and how I could have NOT discovered such a sweet,funny and positive family!! From the first video I happened to catch, I could see the beautiful light of God all over you and your precious baby! Oh my 🌟 stars! He is the happiest baby I've ever seen clearly because he knows how loved and secure he is!! And @60 yrs.old,I can tell that you have THAT element to make it.. come what may! Do any of us know what will happen even tomorrow? My heart ❤ melted in one of the videos that daddy was coming home as mommy and baby waited on the balcony! I heard Derek yell,"BUDDDIEEEE!!!" as he ran to you both! I rewound it at least 5 times and lol'd!! JOY is the best description upon meeting you and thank you for sharing! I sneak peeked ahead and by now,I think you have another gift from Heaven on the way..aawww!!! I have been blessed and look forward to catching up on where you have been and are now! Sending peace☮ love🥰 &harmony 🕊🌈🌏
Awesome! Thanks for always being yourselves and honest!
Of course!!
I was pregnant on my wedding day, while I married an eighteen-year-old and I was twenty. I totally know where Sarah is coming from because it is scary to put a lot of trust in someone to make sure our family was going to be secure. Now my husband is a fourth-year medical student going to be a surgeon soon and I am on my way to becoming a special education teacher. Life gets pretty complicated but it is also nice when people are genuine and honest about hard times because we all have them and instead of judging, it is nice to feel that we are not the only ones who are struggling.
I love your videos. My husband and I also got married at 19 and 20, 11 years ago. My family thought I was crazy, maybe I was. But we have lasted this long due to our undying love for each other. We’ve been through rough times but have gotten through them together. I went through a phase where I thought we wouldn’t be able to have kids but 9 years after we got married I found out we were finally pregnant and our little girl was born in May 2020 💜 and now we have baby girl #2 due in about a month. I love seeing how Jack is growing up and is the same age as our little girl. Every video I see of yours is so relatable and I love sharing them with my husband and having a good laugh. You guys are amazing and so blessed.
you two are SO much better equipped now to handle the lows & rough patches. always remember WHY you're together: you adore each other, you're best friends, & now you have a family.
one should never want to hurt the other, especially deliberately. you're much stronger together because of this deep love you share. even external crises, like economic, pandemic, even if we experience shortages, & other bad scenarios... you'll be stronger to get thru it, together. when others panic or flip out in other ways, you keep your wits together & protect the family.
I was so happy hear about you both being committed to your faith! I pray that God always abundantly blesses you, not necessarily with $, but with always strengthening you & protecting you. with Christ as your foundation, you'll have a wonderful life together.
love you guys! so glad I found your channel. I'm a 60 yrs old, single now, soon to be GREAT GRANDMA (G-Nana or GG) we call it in our fam. I was young when married but it failed for VERY different reasons than many. I'll always cherish what we had and i adore my children and grandchildren. most of us are Christians, we have amazing relationships & love for those who either aren't there yet or may go a different path.
I implore EVERYONE, no matter what your personal situation is, listen to these 2, see what they've built together as a family, & hear how they relate to one another. lessons all would do well to consider.
Beestons: much love to you! stay happy & stay well. I'll remember you in my personal prayers. 🙏🏼😇
You two are very sweet! Keep communicating and LAUGHING. It's what makes the sauce so awesome. LOL Jack's smiling face at the camera! I can't wait for Derik's story.
Thank you so much! So excited to tell it!
So kind of you both to be so open and vulnerable ! I am an orthodox Jewish woman . We also get married fairly young and do not have sex before marriage. We often talk in our community about the first year being difficult and a huge adjustment. We don’t really view it as a “honey moon “ period . Continue growing together and may G-D bless you all with health , complete recovery , joy, laughter and all the good things He offers in this world !!!
Super nice of you to share this! Thank you🙏🙏
I really love your story-it’s so real. Thank you for sharing it over the videos I’ve watched thus far
My parents were married very young. 1947 was a different world than today. Mom was 15 and Dad was 19. They had their fights, raised kids, theirs and their nieces and nephews too, they built a life together and stayed together for 53 years until my Dad's death in 1999. Mom just reacently passed away last month. Dad was her one and only and she was still in love with him till the day she died. I pray they are reunited in the kingdom of heaven today. They are proof that it can be done. Hang in there guys. ❤✌
Thank you guys for sharing the ups and downs of a relationship/marriage. It’ll help a lot of people. You guys are awesome ❤️
Of course! We really hope so
My husband and I were married when we were 18 and 19, and we’re still married 43 years later!
Appreciate how honest and open you are!
My husband and I were 20 and 21. I had just turned 20 in July when we got married in September. So many people said it wouldn't last (even though at that point we'd been dating for 2 years!)... We'll be celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary this September!! Neither of us would change a thing, because it's made us who we are today. We grew up together, learned how to be an adult and have supported each other through everything! Marriage is extremely hard work, but with every effort that's put into it! The vows we spoke that day are very sacred, for which we don't take lightly! So, divorce is never an option for either of us! "For richer or poorer, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health" Kudos to you both for taking that leap of faith! 🥰
I feel like I should add that we started saying I love you after 1 week of dating and he proposed about 2 weeks after that. We graduated high school and after 2 years then got married. 🤗
I had a joke with my nephew, that I was just going to buy him items for his first apartment rather than baby toys because he always would grab cups and bowls and whisks instead of his things.
I think it's great when people marry young. If you find your other half take the leap. Just do it.
There's really no point to dating around. It just makes you jaded and cynical. You're young and happy and un-marred by negative experiences. That's a beautiful thing. I hope you stay in love and the best of friends until the end. Seeing your happiness gives me hope. 💜
Thank you for sharing your marriage testimony. This is so encouraging ♥️ thank you for being a light in the youtube community. God loves you guys
You are the epitome of a great Family! Thank you for brightening my Days.
I can see how much you guys love each other and your little boy is just the cutest! Thanks so much for sharing your story. Usually, I don’t have an interest in watching life stories but as a couple with family, you guys are such an amazing force and also that you are Christians. You guys are truly such an inspiration to everyone, young and old. I have always wanted to text messages to you guys but it has taken me soooo long to find out how to. I have a new phone and a different make and I am not computer literate at all ha ha!! 😂❤
We got married when I was 18, my husband was 19, had our first child at 19/20, second at 20/21, and I drove myself to the hospital both times and had them all natural! Third we were 23/24, car was broke down, so my uncle drove! My husband wasn't able to drive and still isn't because of his eyesight, he was born with it, we are 50 and 51 and still best friends 😄
So, all comments; most couples have been married 20, 30, 40, 50 years
Good decision girl about keeping fears aside regarding the unknown.
Keep love, understanding, courage and support alive in your family and life will be worth a shot. This is for both of you dear young parents.
Don't be scared, fears should not have any space in one's life. I support your life's decision - marriage and Jack at young age. Just be calculative enough for each aspect of your lives, and be prepared for the fluctuations of life. Three of you are lovely souls and don't worry everything will be great...
Last but not least - COMMUNICATION solves many many issues. Be open to talk to each other about issues, meaningful communication. Husband and wife are the main pillars of any family.... Keep things strong among yourselves.
Loads of love to all of you esp. "Jack the heart stealer" 💕
Your story telling abilities is fantastic. I am so enjoying getting to know your little family.
Jack is a sweetheart ❤️
My husband and I met when I was 13 and he was sixteen. Married when I was 16 and he was just a month and a half away from 19. Married May 8th 1968. 53 years ago but been together 56 years. 2 daughters and then two sons. 3 Granddaughters and 2 grandson's and a great grandson who just turned 6 months old. We have had hard times that made my husband and I closer. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat! You two are meant to be together and you have an adorable baby boy!!! I just subscribed and am looking forward to watching your adventures 😀 Love from Woodinville,Washington.
Awesome testimony and encouragement.
I love reading the comments so I learn thru others too. This young family is the sweetest and I pray for them to influence many young..and older newlyweds.
I married my Viet Nam vet Army husband at 19 & he was 21. He was so interesting. We could talk the night away. However, after we were married for a year his best friend became an issue and we separated. I was already pregnant and ended up raising our daughter by myself. I’m delighted when I see other couples make their marriages work. It gives me hope
Thak you for trusting us so much with your family is a blessing to me. I'm 59yrs old and when I'm feeling depressed I watch yall. It cheers me up. Again thank you from the bottom of my ❤ Kathy
you two had the good juju between each other and the moral mojo to commit, something that is very rare in our generation. you also have the maturity and know how to use it to have it go well and support each other and love each through whatever life may hold.
and talk to each other when it isn'xt working. and to truly value what you bring to the table for each other. Seriously impressed. keep on defying the trend.
When Jesus is the head of your marriage you will make it ♥️
Bahahaha!
Amen!
You are allowed to get married whenever you think it’s right for the both of you. It’s your life and your commitment. You understand what you are getting into when you make those vows. Don’t let anyone else try to convince what’s best for the both of you. So many people have so many opinions about things that don’t directly affect them. Although your parents had the best intentions for you, only you can decide when it’s right to get married. Love you guys!
Your statement is so true, except I’d tweak that one understands what they are getting into with marriage!
No one truly does, and that’s the whole idea. A brand new experience for every couple!
Same goes for having children.
There are some loose unchangeable guides, like basic survival and nurturing- but for most part - it’s mean to to be unique unto each person, couple and family! Makes life far more interesting!😊🤗
It’s so great to see you three tell your love story and see it unfold too!! Thank you for your honesty ❤
I did everything backwards the first time. I got pregnant and gave birth to my firstborn in January. I turned 19 in March and got married to my baby’s father in April. That marriage lasted 10 years, and I think it it was because we were both too immature emotionally. I wanted the happily ever after family and I think he felt trapped. In comparison, you both seem so much more mature and ready, and have made a beautiful family that I see lasting forever. 1st year is always hard, but you both are well matched. You will be happily ever after. Congrats, and I LOVE getting to know you all. ❤️
This is so humbling 💖
Having your parent's love and support is key to starting a strong marriage well. In law problems are very hard on marriages
Im so glad I found you guys! This was a total blessing, I needed to hear what you talked about. Thank you for helping me see the hand of Heavenly Father in my life today!
AS LONG AS YOU GUYS HAVE "LOVE" IN YOUR FAMILY, EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT IN THE END!! YOU CAN DO THIS SARAH AND DERIK!!! MAKING US BELIEVE IN LOVE AND FAMILY IN PANDEMIC ERA!! LOVE Y'ALL BUNCHES!! # THIS LIFE'S REALLY A BEACH!!!! 💯👍✌️🥰🌈💙💙💙💙👣👣🙏
