You two are SO CUTE together! You remind me of myself and my husband. My hubby, Patrick, also has Cerebral Palsy (spastic quadriplegia) and reminds me very much of you. I, too, fell in love with the man for who he is. We have wanted so badly to make a TV special or show for Discovery Health or TLC because the world NEEDS TO SEE that disabled people can make WONDERFUL spouses. Is our marriage and life perfect? No, no one's is. But we are REALLY happy together--just as I see you two are! :)

You guys rock! My wife & I are in the exact same situation. We have an almost 6-year-old daughter and 85% of the people we meet assume she isn't our natural child (at least by me), but they are shocked to hear that, yes, I'm her natural father. Anyhow, keep up the awesome awareness!

I have a friend with CP and we going to a college dance together for the first time. I sometimes feel bad when he says something and I could not understand him the first time. How can I handle a situation like this without asking too many times and frustrating him?

Any love is good love. Rock on.

@joewood2000 You guys sound like my husband and me... He has CP and I'm severly (on disability) bipolar. There are always going to be ups and downs but that's what makes life interesting and teaches us the things we need to know :)

interested in a 3 way?

@sassy1327 cerebral palsy is not a condition that you acquire in life, it is a condition acquired at birth. Are you sure that he doesn't, like me, have a spinal cord injury and/or brain injury?

Hey, I want to say its wonderfull to see you two so happy together:) I work wtih people with sever mental and physical disabilities in their residential home. Recently I met a man who has cerebral palsy due to a motercycle accident. He is a wonderful person and after seeing your vid. I feel more confident about going on a date wtih him. I'd like to become friends wtih you both and get to know u better too:) cheers!
I personally feel bad for Barton. My husband and I read Megan's blogs... Barton should not have to "wake her up and drag her off the couch" to have time with his wife. The way she writes about Barton gives the impression that he is a burden to her.... He can do better!
I am a woman with CP and my husband (Joey) has a mental illness. We have had our ups and downs in our marriage/ Having Joey ride around on my lap would cause blood clots.

@joewood2000 This comment struck a deeply personal chord for me (Barton). After six years of marriage, with both positive and negative moments, I am still madly in love with my wife. Marriage is about growth, and none of us are perfect 100% of the time. We began our blog as a venue to share who we are as human beings, with all of our intricacies and imperfections. We share these stories to build community and enhance connections with others, not as a place for unfounded judgments. - BC
