I can see how it can appear that she is the one in charge and not him. I think when you use the term "taking advantage" it brings in something different. His father is dead and who knows how old his mother is. He did love her previously and it seems like she may be the best option for taking care of him. Regardless of what you think about consent, it's hard to say he's getting a raw deal. He gets a beautiful loving wife. I hope someone takes advantage of me like that some day lol

This story is inspiring. God is amazing and good provider. He provides IAN a wife who loved him so much.  God will protect your family.

Ian and Larissa's story convicts me of all the times I love selfishly in my marriage instead of founding it on Christ's unconditional and sacrificial love for us. But Hallelujah, through Christ's sacrifice, God's mercy, love, and grace is greater than my sin!

My favorite verse of the Bible is Love bears all thing, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails 1cor 13: 6_8. You guys are the living example of the love of Jesus for us. God bless you and keep blessing you Amen

I choose to not believe in God and I have my reasons, but this story is beyond heart warming. It's so refreshing to see a story like this. Larissa is a beautiful person and I'm so happy for them. This is proof that love exists.

I guess it wouldn't have actually made a difference if he got brain damage or not.

This is true love, may God bless you all. I pray he continues to sustain you. Both  I am inspired.

[Cee Bear]

This put a tear to my eye. This is an example of true love and you guys are such an inspiration. May God continue to bless both of you and continue to guide you through out your marriage

[Adrienne Renae]

This is absolutely amazing. Larissa is such a warm, compassionate wife, and a great role model for wives everywhere. This video makes me want to go to my husband's work and love on him! :)
