Ian and Larissa Update
They met in college and fell in love. They talked about getting married, and he started looking for a ring. They dreamed about life together, a life of beauty and joy, raising babies and laughing with friends and growing old. They did not imagine a car accident. They did not imagine his brain injury. They did not dream about the need for constant care and a wheelchair and fear that food might choke him. And they could not have imagined how persistent love would be. Theirs and God's. This video is an update Ian and Larissa filmed in 2014. Stay up to date with Ian and Larissa at ianandlarissa.com, and read more about their story at desiringGod.org/articles/the-s...
Produced by Desiring God and Citygate Films

This is ONLY possible in CHRIST. A beautiful illustration of the love Christ has for his not so beautiful & imperfect church. Let the glory of God shine through this union. There will be rough days ahead for this couple, really rough days but as long as Christ be thy rock, they'll weather the storm. Our trials are meant to point us back to Christ (I know because of what me and the wife go through, often lol)!!
"God is AWESOME"-Ian
If only the millions of men who think of women as an object could see this video! This is a true wife, a true woman... One who so clearly shows Christ. Ladies and gentleman, take notice, this is what marriage, commitment and LOVE is all about. Her heart is unmatched. Beautiful humanity.
I am in awe Larissa of your commitment and love for your man. I don't know what to say ... God bless you and God keep you dear sister
This just shows me how little I know God and indescribable He is. He is way beyond my understanding of goodness and life. I'm in awe with what love really means.
Powerful. In tears at the mercies and faithfulness of God in their marriage.
I think this is a great reminder to younger couples who are restless and impatient. Also, I think it teaches us to overlook so many of our spouse's faults and just be grateful where we are with them.
it compels me to believe in True Love. Amazing Grace........!
Thanks for the update! Powerful stuff right there. God is indeed so amazing.
So beautiful. In tears of joy the whole video! Such a beautiful picture of unconditional love & the faithfulness/hope that they to & in Christ is so admirable.

Okay, can I manage to type through tears? I'll try. Larissa and Ian I just finished reading your book. It came into the store I work at and for some reason the cover just caught my attention so I decided to take it home to read. First , let me say you both did a wonderful job sharing your story. Larissa, your honesty touched my heart deeply. I saw so much of myself in your blog posts, especially the ones after you both were married. I'm so thrilled to have found this video and get to see your beautiful day unfold in pictures as it unfolded in my mind from the pages in your book. Thank you for telling your story to the world. It needed to be told and it has blessed my heart deeply. May God continue to grow each of you closer to each other as you grow closer to Him. Ian, may you continue to progress in strengthening your body to reach more milestones. God bless you both!
What a great story of God's grace and example of His love. Looking forward to the book.
This is amazing. I was very touched when he said "God is awesome". That is so different from many who would feel that the awesomeness of God is irrelevant or secondary to someone like him
Thank you so much so much to desiring God and Dr. Piper for uploading such a great work of God. God is real.
Omg. The love of God is truely exemplified in this couple!
This is such a moving & powerful story. God is so good!!
God is beyond amazing! Praise Him!
Wow! Absolutely amazing and beautiful!
Such a beautiful story... ❤
Such an inspiration!!
This is a wonderful story. God is an awesome God. I am a disabled man and I struggle with being single this video gives me hope . I have been praying and praying that God would bring me a virtuous woman. I pray very often that God would bring me a Christian woman . I know one woman that is wonderful but has some strange doctrine. I would say I thought she was the most wonderful thing that ever walked on two feet but Jesus has already taken that title.

So happy that Ian had a guardian angel by his side.
Brilliant video about an inspirational couple
Read the book -- thank you for Ian and Larissa for sharing your story. Thank you Desiring God for sharing the story. Thank you God for your unending love and mercy.
praise God!!! thank you for the example
Incredible.
This is beautiful..
Shall be praying for you both
Wow. Glory to God, glory to God
This is such a powerful display of the Love of GOD. Jesus is the only one who can bring this divine and supernatural joy, peace, and commitment to a marriage. Look at the world, the US, how many marriages end in divorce? People that have good lives, and healthy spouses can't even stand being in the presence of one another. Being thankful to God for what we have is SOOOOOOO important. He is worthy to be praised for all that he's done for us! His Grace alone is worth being thankful for no matter WHAT happens in this life, knowing the undeserved glory with His Son that awaits those that love and obey Him. Peace be with you guys, you have blessed my heart.
So beautiful!
Praise the lord !!!
god bless you
Amazing love all around
Wow God is amazing. What a godly women.
Can you please give me a link to the book, as I can't see it being on Amazon? Thank you
