What a beautiful film. I doubted that men like Ray existed, but if anyone is out there reading this, please know that they do. Selfless, faithful, strong, and dedicated to their wives - I married one and I thank God every day for him.
Ray is like a saint! He starts off willing to accept & marry a woman he just met who was pregnant out of wedlock & raise her child as his own then just continues to build on his awesomeness from there. This movie literally has to work it to show he does have some human imperfections but he is definitely way up in the stratosphere in the ratings of true gentlemen 🥰
Watching it in 2025. Seen it many times. It's rare, but there are men like Ray. Hope this year brings the softer, simpler times back to all of us. I'm old enough to know a wholesome life is a perfect life
Same like what a man the line where she says she has received more love in her husband's house then in her father's made me cry so much. Like what a proud women she will be .
I wish I could say the same. It seems my parents had a difficult marriage but I hoped that I would find a good man but my life didn't turn out that way. I still have two children but my siblings passed away. It wasn't easy living in a dysfunctional family but life doesn't always don't turn out as we hope it would. Divorced due to emotional and pyhsical abuse. I am better alone.
Just a break away from the swearing, sex & nudity, jealousy, killing, evil & very dark crap that's being shoved in our faces. This movie is for the human soul. Thank you.
I agree , it's good to visit places like this , that really exist because there are people in this world who keep those negative aspects out of their lives.
I don't understand why I haven't seen this on the list of classic romantic movies. This is such an underrated film. 20 years and the magic still lives on.
I married a Ray, but his name is George. i met him through a friend three days latter we went on a date by ourselves. told my friend i’m going to marry him one day. I was 16 and now we have been married for 61 years. yes the 16 is not a typeo best movie i have seen in years. my George has dementia now and didn’t remember who I am . but every time i change his solid dipper he say thank you for taking care of me. “ for richer for poorer in sickness and health “ we are still married and in love. thank you God for my George.
I’m 1963 I married a very special man who was also named Ray. We had barely been married for 10 years when I lost him to brain cancer. He was only 37 years old. But he left me with three precious gifts. A young girl of 9 years, another girl of 6 years and a boy of 4 years. Ray was a faithful man, my two girls married faithful men and I have 6 granddaughters all married to faithful men. I’m 78 years old now and I live with my beautiful oldest daughter and her lovely husband. They take such good care of me and spoil me rotten. I’m sooo truly blessed. 😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I found my Ray nearly 30 years ago at college , we got together aged 23 and will both be 47 this year. He is the kindest man I have ever known and we have a beautiful son together. The two of them are the greatest gifts in my life.
Aww childhood sweethearts … congrats my friend … you are so lucky My childhood friend did the opposite… he had sex infront of me with another women … infact his had sex with multiple women and now has kids with multiple women Can’t say all childhood sweethearts are lucky like u … I was suppose to marry mine to But he broke promises… pride of the family … his gone into prostitution I had to abandon him …. Everytime I think his near me… it causes me a lot of distress … I’m officially trying to find a way to close him off forever His not my type
I am at a loss for words. Such a lovely movie. For a man to love like Ray was my dream.At 72 my time has passed but I hope young girls wait for the love of their life.
I am 52. I met a man like Ray when I was barely an adult. This movie reminded me of that particular person and while we're no longer together, I was glad to have met and spent some time with him.
Thank you for your comment and recommendation. I am 75 and on my own, but I hope and pray my granddaughter will meet a good man who will treat her right...
As long as there is breath and life in your body there is always a chance to find a special person to spend your final days with. Dont ever give up. One day of true love is better than a day without it.
Witam.Ten film pokazuje co możemy w życiu zyskać lub stracić.Czego szukamy..Oczekujmy zawsze najlepszego i nie obawiajmy się smutnego lub drastycznego.Poradziny sobię.❤😊❤
No offence to cursing though, because sometimes it just needs to be in the language to be authentic. Take "Good Will Hunting" for example, it is brilliant and one of my all time favourite movies. There is lots of cursing in "Good Will Hunting" because it takes place in Boston and shows a young genius coming from a difficult background, so with less cursing it would not be believeable. It is my favourite movie to show a coming-of-age-story and very well written. Much respect to MD. 👏
I honest to God do not know why there aren’t more WHOLESOME movies like this…I’m a person suffering with depression and my God was this movie such a blessing…it brought so much joy to my heart. ❤
Yeah these kind of flicks used to be all over the place in the 1990s. Mostly TV movies that I can recall, a lot of them. I agree they could make good wholesome films that aren’t corny and over the top. Maybe there’s just no demand for them? And television is so different now. There’s so many formats and options now. It’s possible the networks don’t have the financing either and stick to the series formats.
This is one of the best films I have ever seen. So gentle and filled with love, understanding, forgiveness, and patience! Ray and his sister truly hold the fruits of the spirit!!
Another lost woman filled with Marxist Communist / Femi-Nazi propaganda, which has brainwashed her into believing, that she's not happy unless she is a (so called) independent woman. No one is independent, as we are all interdependent. A man needs a woman and a woman needs a man. Helen of Troy was the downfall of two kingdoms, and the character in this movies represents the same destruction. Men and women are not equal but men and women are equally important. Does she finally figure this out? 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Same exact part that had my eyes filled with tears! So willing to love even through the awkwardness and differences. Not many people willing to step out of their comfort zone and endure the awkwardness these days
I had an aunt during this time in history that found herself pregnant. There were no options. She knew she could not have the baby and raise it on her own. My great uncle ( unrelated) found out and offered to marry her. She was a beautiful woman. He treated her with great respect and they never had any further children. She died early but her daughter was treated very well by all the family.
@@tamaralong8519 my grandfather's brother married my grandmother's sister because she was pregnant with another man's child. He did not want her to be an outcast or have a bad reputation. He was a good/kind man.
This film teaches me to love and accept those who love me instead of chasing the past and those who do not care about my feelings. Truly and inspirational film.
That's a lot of projection. She was not portrayed that way at all. He needed to do as much coming around as she did. The portrayal was about everyone coming together with better understanding, not devisivness! Stop taking sides! There are none.
@@shahmanz I actually agree with @ioodyssey3740, I do believe you've missed the point of the movie... I do suggest watching the movie couple more times 😉
Who said you could not make a profound, beautiful movie with « ordinary days » ?? Because if you look deep inside... nothing is ordinary ! SO thankful I could see this movie ✨
Finally a film that isn't about a woman that has to get married to a violent man. Most of the films are like that! But a loving man who cares about that woman and ultimately they fall in love and live a good life!
Wow. So wholesome. And what a man! What a beautiful display of how a woman adds to a loving man's life and what a man adds to a healing woman's life. ❤️

Me too! It's so hard to reach this level of understanding when you're in love (full of insecurities!) and comprehend that she was rejecting you, not because she didn't want you, but because she was punishing herself ...
Yes. i loved him for his wisdom in that! she truly fell into a great world there. God actually does things like that.... i couldn't help but love ray & olivia, both. so very many of the newer Hallmark movies are trashy. so much so that if i had been aware that this is one of the newer ones i wouldn't have watched it--- even tho i accidentally clicked on it! but it's as good as the older ones which you could COUNT ON being good & heart warming (we never missed a one of them when they came on!!! everything else was excitedly put aside when it was time for them...). LOVED this! it is extremely rare that i watch a movie twice but this one, i know i will. Skeet Ulrich truly deserved the Best Actor award for his part. ty for posting.
For me that line showed how much he understood her, and why he was so perfect for her. I know initially he was irritated when ever she brought up what happened, but he also showed how much he listened to her and saw her pain. I also loved when Martha said, "there's one thing I never heard you say and that's how you feel about Ray". Martha told her in som many words that she fell in love with Ray.
I didn’t want this movie to end! I’ll be married 10 years this April and my husband is still just as sweet and kind and Ray was. Gentle and would do anything to make me happy. He is a Christian and seeks to love me as Christ loves His church. Ray was such a beautiful example of Jesus who loves with a selfless, consistent love. Beautiful movie! Definitely rewatching!
I'm in 2024 :) I'm from Poland. I had never heard about this movie before. It actually popped up on UA-cam by chance, and I felt in my heart that I wanted to watch it. I did, and I think this movie is very beautiful in its simplicity and truly shows what true love is about. I'm very grateful that I could watch it online. I spent great time watching it.
I had been married to a boy I grew up with for 6 years. It was a big mistake from the first. I stayed for 8 long years. I was single for 5 years when I prayed and asked God to send me the man who He knew was right for me. Two weeks later I met Mr. Right. We married a year later and 33 years later he is still my gift from God and I still thank Him for this man every day.
I was married previously and I’m divorced now for almost 6 yrs. I too, asked God to send me someone but you know avail. I wonder why he did it for you but not for me.
@@robynalvin2849 I'm sorry but you're only supposed to marry once even if it doesn't work out. Unless one of the two dies before the other. "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Mark 10:9. "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.". Even if it has been hard I think you should count your blessings you have yet to fall into adultery. I'm sorry. I hope you find solace in Jesus Christ. His love for you is far greater than any spouse could ever provide. God bless you.
@@robynalvin2849Aww …We all have different paths, some paths are covered with more tears, but remember that God saves all of our tears and I believe our tears will be gemstones in our crowns that we lay at His feet after this life is over. I divorced my first husband when I was 29 and married my second husband when I was 57. I’m 69 now and I am blessed with a wonderful man that I know is a gift from God that I feel I don’t deserve. He treats me like his queen. Sometimes “no” or “not yet” are the best answer, God knows what is best. If you try to force His hand you’ll only be sorry. Be patient and thankful for the blessing you do have so that you won’t worry about the things you don’t have. Be blessed ❤🙏
@@robynalvin2849Same happened to me, 15 years ago. I have three fatherless teenagers and I hope God remembers us too. I take them with me to Church every Sunday and I’m a good mother who knows my children are my most important job! We’re probably better off without a man, because if one would be immature, I don’t have the energy to raise a fourth “child”! But I do keep hoping for Mr. Right!
Oh, how I would love to see a "Part 2" of this! Ray and Livvy having more children. Rose and Florence becoming respected professionals. Martha's kids getting on in life. A series would be even better!
I agree!! She seems to be holding their cosy little world in a balance. Such characters always appeal to me as I’ve not come across such people in real life.
I cant imagine many would. I sure as heck wouldnt behave like that if livy was my sister in law. Id be all that sh*t. I wouldnt be tolerant of emotional affairs
This is really "The Magic of Ordinary Days", I love how calm the film is, how meaningful the dialogues are, how humane the story is. Everything is so simple and so powerful. I've watched this many times but still love it. People love Ray for his kind heart, but I think Ray's sister is also a generous woman with a positive energy, she was kinda shocked when Livy wanted to leave, but never judged her at all. Everything is perfect and this is one of the best films I've ever watched. Thank you so much for sharing
I first saw thhis flim about 10 years ago...i own a copy and i still watch it over and over lol its a wonderful lesson, that we could all stand to learn... there is something magical in accepting each other and being together.
I was married to a man who wasn’t actually very good at being a husband or a father. We had 4 children together & it wasn’t working so we divorced. I was a single mum of 4 little ones swearing to never marry again until I meet a farmer who is 18 yrs older than me & dad to 1 boy. Well everyone told me to not get involved as he was older not well off & had nothing to offer me. I didn’t listen he is the most wonderful dad to all our children 4boys&1girl the best husband & the love of my life. We have done many wonderful things together our children are grown & adore theirs step dad & his son adores me as I do him. Family isn’t about blood it’s about the people in your family I have truly been blessed ❤
I was brought up in a dysfunctional middle-class family with authoritarian parents whom LOVE as in this movie was completely absent. I realized much later in life that even my parents never experienced LOVE in their families either and that gave me solace and peace in my old age to be grateful after all. This movie brought lot of tears to my eyes and wish I had some of the LOVE when I was growing up. I am not complaining and actually been blessed throughout my life, however, missed lots hugs, kisses and encouragements when I was younger.
Me too...my adoptive parents were abusive. When I finally heard 'I love you', it was said on the death bed. By then, it was too late and didn't matter anymore...
Watched this on Christmas day 2022 while nursing myself thru a food coma. Ended up crying at how sweet this story was. I miss these sort of wholesome, endearing and elevating movies.
@@JasonBorn89 And there are people in this world choosing either heating or food to live here in the uK - and this crass woman stuffs her bake!! Gross!!
I'm so Grateful for the person who posted this full movie online (wonderful to see Keri Russell and Mare Winning ham again!) and to the person who posted clips of this beautiful movie to encourage many more to enjoy it!! Bless you! ❤

Je crois que c’est la 10eme fois que je regarde ce film, c’est tellement bien raconté, on y voit la naissance de l’amour, la pudeur, la compréhension et l’acceptation de l’autre, le soutien, tout ce qui consolide l’amour et la famille. Chaque année je visionne ce film comme si c’était la première fois. Merci pour le partage. ❤
I met Skeet Ulrich at comic expo, had a photo taken with him and was able to thank him and tell him Magic of Ordinary Days is my comfort show. 😊 He mentioned it was filmed near my hometown. 😍❤
How could I not know about this film before? The story is just so sweet and Ray, good god, is unbelievably wonderful. I couldn’t help but cried when he said “ and I love that baby”. I guess if Livy had not already fallen for him before unknowingly, she would at that moment! I’ll definitely watch this movie over and over.
My dear friend in Oregon and I both watch it yearly, and also the original "Anne of Green Gables". We adore this , and met on a double date in 1971! Her husband and my date (best friends) turned out to be handsome, charming cheaters, but she and I are like sisters. So good CAN come from bad situations. Her friend from Christian h.s. and she sat down and talked when both had divorced their cheating 1st spouses, and decided to marry. He raised her two children and loves being grandfather to her five grands. She had fixed me up with him in 1971, before he had married. He was older and very intense on wanting to marry; and I was just 17 and newly dating, so the chemistry wasn't there on my part. But he was a total gentleman on our one date; and I knew when she and I reconnected and I found out they had married that she had a Ray and was a lucky girl. I smile thinking about them together all these years, and their family is always in my prayers. God is so good! He is always in the backgound working on our behalf, even when we are unaware and when times look bleak. It is only when we look back over time that we can see how he let everything fall into place to bring about His magnificent Will for our lives. And when you study your family history and learn who your ancestors were and their stories, you become aware and thankful for the threads connecting you to people in history. You see how His hand has covered your family down through the generations.
This movie has touched me so much! Most of all, his positive spirit (face to a woman with a past and with no apparent intentions of having a true marriage with him) , his generosity, his forbearance and his gentleness! Due to all these, he finally made her love him! I was never like that in my relationships and that 's a big lesson for me... The second thing that was unexpected, is that he (with no studies, cultural and social status, no experiences on love affairs, as she has) appears in the beginning as a simple farmer with no value at all, but on the course of the events, proves to be more confident than her!
Yes Eva, I agree with you that Ray was a fine man. I believe he was also very knowledge... what is required to be a sugar beet farmer? Ray had to know when to plant (growing season) and when to harvest this very perishable vegetable for the market. He would need to have learned which sugar beet brand to grow in his type of soil. This would require some study in agronomy. How and what fertization for a good yield, which would require some study in chemistry. What percent of (Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Potassium)? Ray would need a good understanding of accounting to keep accurate records to pay back his loans to the bank after each annual harvest for the money he borrowed for seed, fertizer, and fuel. A simple farmer he was not, he was owner and a sucessful operator of a small business.

This is one of my favorite films and have watched it several times. Ray is goodness itself and that love seeped into her guarded heart. And a simple lifestyle is not to be scorned, especially when they had a community who really loved their well bonded family.
They’re out there. My husband is like this. I met him at 23 as a single mom. He was 29. I realized after I had my daughter I wanted a patient and gentle husband. My ex was mentally abusive and manipulative. He had no respect for me and would constantly cheat. My husband had been cheated on or unappreciated in almost all his other relationships. He wasn’t outgoing. He didn’t care for drinking, partying, or being the life of a party. He’s quiet, patient, meek, and extremely hard working. All he wanted was a wife and children. He just wants to work hard to give us a good life. Most young woman don’t see the value in that. They want a man who brings them flowers, showers them with gifts, and gives them grand gestures of love. I had all that with my ex. I realized after non of it mattered. I just wanted a husband who I was excited to see when he came home. They are out there my friend. There are so many good, loving man whose only purpose in life is to provide for his family. Pray, and I know God will send one your way. So many men yearn to just love and provide for a lady.
I cant help to watch this movie over and over again. Beautifully crafted through it simplicity and authentic acting. The bottomline of the story is to treasure and to make the best memories out of ordinay days. It is so enchanting love story that delivers a heartwarming wholesome impact.
At the start of it i was as uneasy as livy. You work so hard for a future and to have your whole future gone,and to live with a man who appears ignorant on many levels. Its going to trigger a trauma response. I see it throughout the film until she changes her perspective and tmfinds a way to keep the old in the new.
A beautiful film depicting acceptance, forgiveness and generosity, the essence of true love. Lessons to be learnt from the husband observing the needs of his wife.
I found this movie on UA-cam by chance. What a lovely relief to watch something with real chemistry between the actors, with suspense, and gorgeous American landscapes. Completely devoid of the ugliness of much modern stuff I enjoyed every minute.
This is 2024 and my mother and dad were married by the 1950's and so I am really enjoying this. It's funny to realize you've been on the earth almost 70 years.
@@cuprunnethover2509 my mom and I have watched it several times and again last night after going a few years without seeing it. I found it here and decided to watch it from the beginning because I always seemed to miss the first. Love it.
In this fast paced and insane world we live in, it is nice to be remined about how much pleasure can be found in the simple life. Thank you for the reminder.
I found this movie on a short UA-cam video then I tried to find the full movie on UA-cam just to see and here I’m watching this movie again and again and again since 3 days now. Asking myself how great movies like this one can exist and I could live my life without knowing that 🥰♥️☺️😊 please God we need more Ray in this world 🙏🏾
Can't remember how many times I've watched this movie. Bought it from iTunes. Worth having in your own collection. Many years from now, this will become beloved classic. Skeet won as best actor for his role as Ray.
The magic of a beautiful film. The movie stays with you as the viewer in taken on the journey with Ray and Livvy. Skeet Ulrich and Keri Russell's performances are subtle but powerful. Each showing compassion for the other as they navigate getting to know each other under uncomfortable circumstances. Livvy is surprised by Ray's innate wisdom and touched by his gentleness and kindness. Ray's horizons are expanded while learning about the interests and dreams of Livvy. Great performances. Can't imagine another actor representing Ray better than Skeet Ulrich. His performance is magical.
From Nigerian with love... I watched it just yesterday night!... Perfect!!😢😊😊 Now I'm seeking movies like it... I think old movies really are beautiful because they are without the wanton, selfish ideologies of today.
Even though there are bad men who weren’t taught right, there are men like Ray that exist and I thank the Lord and the parents who raise men like Ray. I am blessed to have met many friends who are like this and God willing hope to meet a guy like this one day. Thank you for sharing this movie ❤

I married a' Ray'.when we met i was coming out of a very complicated long relationship that left me never the same.i was messed up emotionally and all other ways..but i married him still, when i look back i realise i took a huge risk, it could have been disastrous.I must say that after 8 years of marriage i appreciate him ever more for being patient, respectful,loving,kind and so humble all these years.at times i feel i dont deserve him but am thankful that he endured the complications .he taught me by his actions and kind words to emulate him and try to love him if not the same but similar with my imperfections.. Il be forever thankful for experiencing true love with my husband
Ahh, this movie is so darned sweeet! I will never be able to erase it from my mind. What a pleasure! I was around 6 years old when this supposedly took place, and have a sister 9 years older than me, so can readily identify with subject matter and a way more simpler time in life. Loved the lake boat scene. Ray simply adored her, so aware right then that this woman, come into his life, was the girl of his dreams! Loved the dinner table scene where "Troy" is mentioned. Just hilarious! Got a big kick out of Mrs. Platt and Mrs. Parker. Twins?? Ray and Livvy were meant to meet each other, enrich each other's lives; changed people because of this. The author, director, photographer, location scout manager, ALL, are tremendously talented adding to this movie's magic. Thank you, everyone, involved in the making of this gem!
I love the quiet development of this film and the characters. It really says something about getting to the base of what it means to love and become a family. I first watched this years ago and then forgot until it came up on my algorithm. I'm so grateful to have rediscovered it.
I keep watching this wonderful movie. I cant seem to stop. It takes me away from the rotten ecistence i have in nursing home. I remeber the wrong choices i made growing up. Oh if only someone helped me to know people like Ray existed and i could wait for him. A soul mate. I was so alone and took the first one that ask me.Please keep showing this movie. It takes us away from this life.
I am sorry you are so lonely Linda. Where are you located? I mean what state? Your friendship would be a blessing. I love to write letters too! Take care
I don’t like how Abby was going to start terrible rumors and lies about Ray. I love how Livvy defended him, and told Abby that she couldn’t do that. Abby wanted Livvy for her own selfish reasons, because her husband was sent to war and she was lonely. I really enjoy watching her love for him grow a little bit more each time, and after she got the ring, a simple diamond, that was just for her made her realize that the love he had for her was real, and genuine. Watching her give birth and name their son after Rays and Martha’s brother was very heartwarming. But when Ray started singing to Daniel, I bawl every time.
What a beautiful movie. I was moved from beginning to end. They had some great actors and actresses. I know I will watch this movie again, maybe a few times, in fact.
I loved this film. (And I knew a Japanese family whose home was taken away and they were sent to a work camp. Somehow, after the war, they got their property back). He was such a a good man -- I'm lucky, I have one too.
This is so relatable. Marrying someone initially not in love with and then realizing how good they are to you, you can't help but love them. ❤️ Love how this movie reveals such a deep truth, without all the garbage. Real men like this do exist, they desire a woman's happiness and want to deeply love her like she deserves. It's a feeling so beautiful, one only feels unworthy of such goodness.
I'm here because of Tiktok. Can't believe I'd find a free Romantic movie as beautiful and touching as this. I love everything about this film. From the costume & the location to the character's chemistry, made me fall in love with the story, wishing for more. Haven't seen Skeet since "SCREAM".
The scenery and landscaping in this movie is breathtaking! It is so comforting to watch it over and over again because of the excellent acting and plot and ending. You will not be disappointed.

What a beautiful film. I doubted that men like Ray existed, but if anyone is out there reading this, please know that they do. Selfless, faithful, strong, and dedicated to their wives - I married one and I thank God every day for him.
Ray is like a saint! He starts off willing to accept & marry a woman he just met who was pregnant out of wedlock & raise her child as his own then just continues to build on his awesomeness from there. This movie literally has to work it to show he does have some human imperfections but he is definitely way up in the stratosphere in the ratings of true gentlemen 🥰
Thanks for this encouragement @Fallon Mawhinney🙂
I am married one to 54 years Childhood sweethearts he was my hero he takes care of me his wife so blessed thank you God
So blessed are you
I had a betrayer who smashed, lied,, stole and broke absolutely everything after 34 years

Watching it in 2025. Seen it many times. It's rare, but there are men like Ray. Hope this year brings the softer, simpler times back to all of us. I'm old enough to know a wholesome life is a perfect life
Good, honest, hardworking people are such a blessing. I come from farm people. There's nobody better.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Same like what a man the line where she says she has received more love in her husband's house then in her father's made me cry so much. Like what a proud women she will be .
i hated Ray for screaming at the dog.
Why do I always cry while watching this movie? "My father was good to my mother and I want to be a good husband like my father."
Not all wives are worthy of a good man…
I ❤
I wish I could say the same. It seems my parents had a difficult marriage but I hoped that I would find a good man but my life didn't turn out that way. I still have two children but my siblings passed away. It wasn't easy living in a dysfunctional family but life doesn't always don't turn out as we hope it would. Divorced due to emotional and pyhsical abuse. I am better alone.

Just a break away from the swearing, sex & nudity, jealousy, killing, evil & very dark crap that's being shoved in our faces. This movie is for the human soul. Thank you.
I agree , it's good to visit places like this , that really exist because there are people in this world who keep those negative aspects out of their lives.
Exactly
👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's been a while since I've seen a FEEL GOOD movie. Hollywood, when It makes GOOD....
My sentiments exactly!
I stumbled over this movie by a chance and feel like I found a golden nugget. Beautiful film.
Me too. This is a gem.
same here!
I feel the same way!
My fourth time. I speed through some parts to watch their looks and interactions.
Same here! 💕
I don't understand why I haven't seen this on the list of classic romantic movies. This is such an underrated film. 20 years and the magic still lives on.
I married a Ray, but his name is George.
i met him through a friend
three days latter we went on a
date by ourselves.
told my friend i’m going to marry
him one day.
I was 16 and now we have been married for 61 years. yes the
16 is not a typeo
best movie i have seen in
years.
my George has dementia
now and didn’t remember
who I am .
but every time i change his
solid dipper he say thank you
for taking care of me.
“ for richer for poorer
in sickness and health “
we are still married and in
love. thank you God for my
George.
61 not 16 that’s the typo
Love conquers all ❤
He’s a kind man still
Bless u both
❤....🙏
What is a ‘solid dipper’?
I’m 1963 I married a very special man who was also named Ray. We had barely been married for 10 years when I lost him to brain cancer. He was only 37 years old. But he left me with three precious gifts. A young girl of 9 years, another girl of 6 years and a boy of 4 years. Ray was a faithful man, my two girls married faithful men and I have 6 granddaughters all married to faithful men. I’m 78 years old now and I live with my beautiful oldest daughter and her lovely husband. They take such good care of me and spoil me rotten. I’m sooo truly blessed. 😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You've been very lucky
Oh bless you!
What a beautiful family you must have! 😍🌺💙
So glad to hear that you’re taken care of and know about love
Wow, this story is so good almost hard to believe things like that exist. Happy for you,!
Beautiful ❤️
I found my Ray nearly 30 years ago at college , we got together aged 23 and will both be 47 this year. He is the kindest man I have ever known and we have a beautiful son together. The two of them are the greatest gifts in my life.
Aww childhood sweethearts … congrats my friend … you are so lucky
My childhood friend did the opposite… he had sex infront of me with another women … infact his had sex with multiple women and now has kids with multiple women
Can’t say all childhood sweethearts are lucky like u … I was suppose to marry mine to
But he broke promises… pride of the family … his gone into prostitution
I had to abandon him …. Everytime I think his near me… it causes me a lot of distress … I’m officially trying to find a way to close him off forever
His not my type
🎉 congratulations 🎉👏 you are very lucky 😊
Sounds wonderful, i am Happy for you
Beautiful movie..thank you very much.
I am at a loss for words. Such a lovely movie. For a man to love like Ray was my dream.At 72 my time has passed but I hope young girls wait for the love of their life.
I am 52. I met a man like Ray when I was barely an adult. This movie reminded me of that particular person and while we're no longer together, I was glad to have met and spent some time with him.
Thank you for your comment and recommendation. I am 75 and on my own, but I hope and pray my granddaughter will meet a good man who will treat her right...
As long as there is breath and life in your body there is always a chance to find a special person to spend your final days with. Dont ever give up. One day of true love is better than a day without it.
Gran you're still alive, you won't get all she has but who says your Ray isn't out there still hoping someone like you
Seems like you may have at least 20 years left...perhaps you should get out. 20 years is a long time alone.
The only way this movie could have been better is if it was 5 hours longer and showed more of their happy life together ❤️
A television series!
Why not!
Exactly, I would've loved to see them together
BERHARAP SEPERTI ITU....😭😭😭😭
I wanted to see them grow together and have more kids and how they built each other's passion. This is a very good good movie.
What a beautiful movie...no cursing or sexual content. How refreshing. Just a good loving movie.
❤
So true. It was really a good movie with good moral lessons
Witam.Ten film pokazuje co możemy w życiu zyskać lub stracić.Czego szukamy..Oczekujmy zawsze najlepszego i nie obawiajmy się smutnego lub drastycznego.Poradziny sobię.❤😊❤
Está siendo muy injusta con el muy injusta desde España❤❤❤❤❤
No offence to cursing though, because sometimes it just needs to be in the language to be authentic. Take "Good Will Hunting" for example, it is brilliant and one of my all time favourite movies. There is lots of cursing in "Good Will Hunting" because it takes place in Boston and shows a young genius coming from a difficult background, so with less cursing it would not be believeable. It is my favourite movie to show a coming-of-age-story and very well written. Much respect to MD. 👏
We have to learn the hard way. After chasing excitement in ours lives we finally realize ordinary days are the best.
Yeah there’s nothing like living a peaceful time
So true!
Amen, learnt the hard way too, loving relationships are all that matters now :-)
Ordinary days, no war...How happy we were...if only I knew 😢
❤❤❤ I love your comment, very accurate according to the title and plot of the movie.
I have been looking for movies like this on UA-cam. I am sick of the new garbage that’s out there. This movie warms my heart. ❤
Amen! Such a beautiful and tender love story - nothing outrageous or profane.
Ikr?? Especially new movies on netflix. Its make me sick
why not check ' love comes softly . im sure you will love it too.

I honest to God do not know why there aren’t more WHOLESOME movies like this…I’m a person suffering with depression and my God was this movie such a blessing…it brought so much joy to my heart. ❤
Beautifully expressed, such an inspirational movie, great feeling ❤
Yeah these kind of flicks used to be all over the place in the 1990s. Mostly TV movies that I can recall, a lot of them. I agree they could make good wholesome films that aren’t corny and over the top. Maybe there’s just no demand for them? And television is so different now. There’s so many formats and options now. It’s possible the networks don’t have the financing either and stick to the series formats.
@@jpmnky can’t agree more. Every time I look at NETFLIX I wanna hurl and pull my eyeballs out of my eye socket.
Because our world is run by satanic pedophiles and Hollywood is one of the vehicles used to push their sick narrative
Another movie that's kind of like this is "Old Fashioned." it's also a slow-paced movie like this :)
This movie is almost 20 years old but hasn't aged a day. Beautifully done.
Seems as though it's picked up in popularity because clips from the movie were making the rounds on TikTok a little while ago.
This is one of the best films I have ever seen. So gentle and filled with love, understanding, forgiveness, and patience! Ray and his sister truly hold the fruits of the spirit!!
Yes & Amen 🙏🏾
And acceptance…
Yes they do, I am married to one.

And they didn't judge her only showed love with open arms

Yessss
I know, right? It was soooo sweet! It was my favorite part. I loved how they grew from each others views.
Another lost woman filled with Marxist Communist / Femi-Nazi propaganda, which has brainwashed her into believing, that she's not happy unless she is a (so called) independent woman. No one is independent, as we are all interdependent. A man needs a woman and a woman needs a man. Helen of Troy was the downfall of two kingdoms, and the character in this movies represents the same destruction. Men and women are not equal but men and women are equally important. Does she finally figure this out? 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Same exact part that had my eyes filled with tears!
So willing to love even through the awkwardness and differences. Not many people willing to step out of their comfort zone and endure the awkwardness these days
I had an aunt during this time in history that found herself pregnant. There were no options. She knew she could not have the baby and raise it on her own. My great uncle ( unrelated) found out and offered to marry her. She was a beautiful woman. He treated her with great respect and they never had any further children. She died early but her daughter was treated very well by all the family.
That is so sweet and lovely ❤️
He had no ring and most likely she was the only one who would say yes to someone like him who's broke.
Your great uncle married your aunt? 🤔
@@tamaralong8519 my grandfather's brother married my grandmother's sister because she was pregnant with another man's child. He did not want her to be an outcast or have a bad reputation. He was a good/kind man.
@@tamaralong8519 unrelated she said
This film teaches me to love and accept those who love me instead of chasing the past and those who do not care about my feelings.
Truly and inspirational film.
Ray is often able to hold his own when she tries to use logic from her superior education. Shows education is more than just going to school
That's a lot of projection. She was not portrayed that way at all. He needed to do as much coming around as she did. The portrayal was about everyone coming together with better understanding, not devisivness! Stop taking sides! There are none.
@@ioodyssey3740 Not taking sides. Just saying education isn't just obtained from school learning. They're both equally educated people.
@@shahmanz I actually agree with @ioodyssey3740, I do believe you've missed the point of the movie... I do suggest watching the movie couple more times 😉
Yes, Ray was a smart man, just not schooled. That helped bring them together.
@saraheart2804 yes, I'm so very fond of him.
Who said you could not make a profound, beautiful movie with « ordinary days » ??
Because if you look deep inside... nothing is ordinary !
SO thankful I could see this movie ✨
She truly fell in love with him when he was singing to that baby. You can see the love in her eyes. What a lovely film.
I think he even made her love her own baby. Remmeber she said the baby was a mistake first.

Finally a film that isn't about a woman that has to get married to a violent man. Most of the films are like that! But a loving man who cares about that woman and ultimately they fall in love and live a good life!
Wow. So wholesome. And what a man! What a beautiful display of how a woman adds to a loving man's life and what a man adds to a healing woman's life. ❤️
Yes, men and women are made to compliment each other and become one being - not compete with each other.

Absolutely!!!
Exactly
My husband is just like Ray. He is loving, honest, caring and so faithful. We have been married just over 40 years. I treasure him every day.❤❤❤
Congratulations from Martinique
The best of the Hallmark movies, a real classic story. Well written, well acted❤
I adore this movie. So well acted
From the very beginning he was always trying to honor and take care of her. Beautiful
I loved it when she said, I don't know if this could work." His reply, "I know, because some day you're going to forgive yourself "❤❤❤
Me too! It's so hard to reach this level of understanding when you're in love (full of insecurities!) and comprehend that she was rejecting you, not because she didn't want you, but because she was punishing herself ...
Yes. i loved him for his wisdom in that! she truly fell into a great world there. God actually does things like that....
i couldn't help but love ray & olivia, both. so very many of the newer Hallmark movies are trashy. so much so that if i had been aware that this is one of the newer ones i wouldn't have watched it--- even tho i accidentally clicked on it! but it's as good as the older ones which you could COUNT ON being good & heart warming (we never missed a one of them when they came on!!! everything else was excitedly put aside when it was time for them...). LOVED this! it is extremely rare that i watch a movie twice but this one, i know i will. Skeet Ulrich truly deserved the Best Actor award for his part. ty for posting.
I must agree, this the best punch liner for me and very profound.
I love that too, it's so powerful and deep!
For me that line showed how much he understood her, and why he was so perfect for her. I know initially he was irritated when ever she brought up what happened, but he also showed how much he listened to her and saw her pain. I also loved when Martha said, "there's one thing I never heard you say and that's how you feel about Ray". Martha told her in som many words that she fell in love with Ray.
I haven't felt so peaceful with an ending of film like this for a long while now.
I didn’t want this movie to end! I’ll be married 10 years this April and my husband is still just as sweet and kind and Ray was. Gentle and would do anything to make me happy. He is a Christian and seeks to love me as Christ loves His church. Ray was such a beautiful example of Jesus who loves with a selfless, consistent love. Beautiful movie! Definitely rewatching!
What a lucky 🍀 women you are! 😊
Liking this cos i know I'll have this one day
How blessed and lucky you are!!! ❤️

I love watching this movie and will enjoy it at least once or twice a year🥰
Yooooo
I'm in 2024 :) I'm from Poland. I had never heard about this movie before. It actually popped up on UA-cam by chance, and I felt in my heart that I wanted to watch it. I did, and I think this movie is very beautiful in its simplicity and truly shows what true love is about. I'm very grateful that I could watch it online. I spent great time watching it.
I had been married to a boy I grew up with for 6 years. It was a big mistake from the first. I stayed for 8 long years. I was single for 5 years when I prayed and asked God to send me the man who He knew was right for me. Two weeks later I met Mr. Right. We married a year later and 33 years later he is still my gift from God and I still thank Him for this man every day.
I was married previously and I’m divorced now for almost 6 yrs. I too, asked God to send me someone but you know avail. I wonder why he did it for you but not for me.
@@robynalvin2849 I'm sorry but you're only supposed to marry once even if it doesn't work out. Unless one of the two dies before the other. "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Mark 10:9. "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.". Even if it has been hard I think you should count your blessings you have yet to fall into adultery. I'm sorry. I hope you find solace in Jesus Christ. His love for you is far greater than any spouse could ever provide. God bless you.
@@robynalvin2849Aww …We all have different paths, some paths are covered with more tears, but remember that God saves all of our tears and I believe our tears will be gemstones in our crowns that we lay at His feet after this life is over. I divorced my first husband when I was 29 and married my second husband when I was 57. I’m 69 now and I am blessed with a wonderful man that I know is a gift from God that I feel I don’t deserve. He treats me like his queen. Sometimes “no” or “not yet” are the best answer, God knows what is best. If you try to force His hand you’ll only be sorry. Be patient and thankful for the blessing you do have so that you won’t worry about the things you don’t have. Be blessed ❤🙏
@@robynalvin2849Same happened to me, 15 years ago. I have three fatherless teenagers and I hope God remembers us too. I take them with me to Church every Sunday and I’m a good mother who knows my children are my most important job! We’re probably better off without a man, because if one would be immature, I don’t have the energy to raise a fourth “child”!
But I do keep hoping for Mr. Right!
Movie straight from the Mills n Boon books
Watching this Sept of 2024
Me too.
Me too!
Me too😢❤❤❤
Me too!
Mee too!
This movie was food for the soul, thank you.
Both of them have healed each other's pain..
Oh, how I would love to see a "Part 2" of this! Ray and Livvy having more children. Rose and Florence becoming respected professionals. Martha's kids getting on in life. A series would be even better!
I totally agree with you!
.
Suzie you should write a book. That sounds just wonderful.
Me too!
Than we would have yet another soap opera instead of this masterpiece.
Man reminds me a lot of my husband. The kindest man I ever met in my life. He was the best husband and father anyone could ever imagine.❤
I absolutely love Martha's character in this movie. She gives grace in such a sweet way.
I agree!! She seems to be holding their cosy little world in a balance. Such characters always appeal to me as I’ve not come across such people in real life.
I cant imagine many would. I sure as heck wouldnt behave like that if livy was my sister in law. Id be all that sh*t. I wouldnt be tolerant of emotional affairs
May we all be „Marthas“ in our communities.
This is really "The Magic of Ordinary Days", I love how calm the film is, how meaningful the dialogues are, how humane the story is. Everything is so simple and so powerful. I've watched this many times but still love it. People love Ray for his kind heart, but I think Ray's sister is also a generous woman with a positive energy, she was kinda shocked when Livy wanted to leave, but never judged her at all. Everything is perfect and this is one of the best films I've ever watched. Thank you so much for sharing
I couldn't agree more.
How calm, how meaningful, how un - Hollywood.
I first saw thhis flim about 10 years ago...i own a copy and i still watch it over and over lol its a wonderful lesson, that we could all stand to learn... there is something magical in accepting each other and being together.
Yeah, an educated woman thrown away by her family and ending up in a "house to take care of".
Wonderful.
And it is wholesome no profanity no nakedness.... ❤️❤️
The spiritual love that Ray has given to Livy is the treasure in a relationship as a couple. Love this film. ❤
I was married to a man who wasn’t actually very good at being a husband or a father. We had 4 children together & it wasn’t working so we divorced. I was a single mum of 4 little ones swearing to never marry again until I meet a farmer who is 18 yrs older than me & dad to 1 boy. Well everyone told me to not get involved as he was older
not well off & had nothing to offer me. I didn’t listen he is the most wonderful dad to all our children 4boys&1girl the best husband & the love of my life. We have done many wonderful things together our children are grown & adore theirs step dad & his son adores me as I do him. Family isn’t about blood it’s about the people in your family I have truly been blessed ❤
…my husband had all of it…patients, love, integrity, honor, love, kindness, intelligentˋs….love…..I miss him……
Sorry for your loss. God bless you.❤
I was brought up in a dysfunctional middle-class family with authoritarian parents whom LOVE as in this movie was completely absent. I realized much later in life that even my parents never experienced LOVE in their families either and that gave me solace and peace in my old age to be grateful after all.
This movie brought lot of tears to my eyes and wish I had some of the LOVE when I was growing up. I am not complaining and actually been blessed throughout my life, however, missed lots hugs, kisses and encouragements when I was younger.
This is such a precious comment. Aw. Do you have any children or grandchildren of your own now to love and be loved by?❤
Me too...my adoptive parents were abusive. When I finally heard 'I love you', it was said on the death bed. By then, it was too late and didn't matter anymore...
@@sheilaboling610, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you will find love.

Me..from South Africa.
Me. Loved it and forwarded it on to others
Thank you for posting this sweet gentle film. The woman learns so much humility from her husband.
the women makes out great...Ray gets to raise someone else's kid ....how great is that
“Some day you are going to forgive yourself.” We could all use a little more of that!
✨🌞✨
That seemed to be the turning point --when she heard those words. Just so kind.
That hit me. Today, I forgive myself. God help me change so I can get to where I need to get to.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This movie is so sweet. I liked it when Ray said "Welcome home" that melted my heart.
that moment touched me too.❤
I met Skeet Ulrich at comic expo, had a photo taken with him and was able to thank him and tell him Magic of Ordinary Days is my comfort show. 😊 He mentioned it was filmed near my hometown. 😍❤
Where?
How could I not know about this film before? The story is just so sweet and Ray, good god, is unbelievably wonderful. I couldn’t help but cried when he said “ and I love that baby”. I guess if Livy had not already fallen for him before unknowingly, she would at that moment! I’ll definitely watch this movie over and over.
❤
Remember watching this move few years ago. Glad found it again❤
My dear friend in Oregon and I both watch it yearly, and also the original "Anne of Green Gables". We adore this , and met on a double date in 1971! Her husband and my date (best friends) turned out to be handsome, charming cheaters, but she and I are like sisters. So good CAN come from bad situations.
Her friend from Christian h.s. and she sat down and talked when both had divorced their cheating 1st spouses, and decided to marry. He raised her two children and loves being grandfather to her five grands.
She had fixed me up with him in 1971, before he had married. He was older and very intense on wanting to marry; and I was just 17 and newly dating, so the chemistry wasn't there on my part. But he was a total gentleman on our one date; and I knew when she and I reconnected and I found out
they had married that she had a Ray and was a lucky girl. I smile thinking about them together all these years, and their family is always in my prayers.
God is so good! He is always in the backgound working on our behalf, even when we are unaware and when times look bleak. It is only when we look back over time that we can see how he let everything fall into place to bring about His magnificent Will for our lives. And when you study your family history and learn who your ancestors were and their stories, you become aware and thankful for the threads connecting you to people in history. You see how His hand has covered your family down through the generations.
This movie has touched me so much! Most of all, his positive spirit (face to a woman with a past and with no apparent intentions of having a true marriage with him) , his generosity, his forbearance and his gentleness! Due to all these, he finally made her love him!
I was never like that in my relationships and that 's a big lesson for me...
The second thing that was unexpected, is that he (with no studies, cultural and social status, no experiences on love affairs, as she has) appears in the beginning as a simple farmer with no value at all, but on the course of the events, proves to be more confident than her!
Yes Eva, I agree with you that Ray was a fine man. I believe he was also very knowledge... what is required to be a sugar beet farmer? Ray had to know when to plant (growing season) and when to harvest this very perishable vegetable for the market. He would need to have learned which sugar beet brand to grow in his type of soil. This would require some study in agronomy. How and what fertization for a good yield, which would require some study in chemistry. What percent of (Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Potassium)? Ray would need a good understanding of accounting to keep accurate records to pay back his loans to the bank after each annual harvest for the money he borrowed for seed, fertizer, and fuel. A simple farmer he was not, he was owner and a sucessful operator of a small business.
Ruach haKodesh put love in her heart for Ray

This is just the kind of movie I needed to watch. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite films and have watched it several times. Ray is goodness itself and that love seeped into her guarded heart. And a simple lifestyle is not to be scorned, especially when they had a community who really loved their well bonded family.
I wish I had met a man in my lifetime that loved me like this❤😢
It's never too late.
Love yourself
Wish you the best
They’re out there. My husband is like this. I met him at 23 as a single mom. He was 29. I realized after I had my daughter I wanted a patient and gentle husband. My ex was mentally abusive and manipulative. He had no respect for me and would constantly cheat. My husband had been cheated on or unappreciated in almost all his other relationships. He wasn’t outgoing. He didn’t care for drinking, partying, or being the life of a party. He’s quiet, patient, meek, and extremely hard working. All he wanted was a wife and children. He just wants to work hard to give us a good life.
Most young woman don’t see the value in that. They want a man who brings them flowers, showers them with gifts, and gives them grand gestures of love. I had all that with my ex. I realized after non of it mattered. I just wanted a husband who I was excited to see when he came home.
They are out there my friend. There are so many good, loving man whose only purpose in life is to provide for his family. Pray, and I know God will send one your way. So many men yearn to just love and provide for a lady.
You probably met multiple men like this, but you didn't want him because he was too nice.
I cant help to watch this movie over and over again. Beautifully crafted through it simplicity and authentic acting. The bottomline of the story is to treasure and to make the best memories out of ordinay days. It is so enchanting love story that delivers a heartwarming wholesome impact.
At the start of it i was as uneasy as livy. You work so hard for a future and to have your whole future gone,and to live with a man who appears ignorant on many levels. Its going to trigger a trauma response. I see it throughout the film until she changes her perspective and tmfinds a way to keep the old in the new.
A beautiful film depicting acceptance, forgiveness and generosity, the essence of true love. Lessons to be learnt from the husband observing the needs of his wife.
I found this movie on UA-cam by chance. What a lovely relief to watch something with real chemistry between the actors, with suspense, and gorgeous American landscapes. Completely devoid of the ugliness of much modern stuff I enjoyed every minute.
Except the landscape is in actuality Alberta, Canada. Whatever, the movie's wonderful regardless
I wish Skeet Ulrich would make more movies like this. He was fantastic
I'm in love😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@@cynthiaerwin2851 me, too. His eyes are incredible....
My husband is a lot like Ray and I certainly don’t deserve him , I’m beyond blessed ❤
Du hast glück
My husband was the same. He did anything to make me happy. He died 2 years ago and I miss him terribly!
Oh... So sorry..I offer my sympathy.

I am watching this movie for the third time…We want the same life back: quiet, secure, without stress and extreme worry about the future of our kids…
Yezzzzz💯🕯️❤️🩹💦🙏✨
There are things we can still do about the kids, if only we put in the effort. All is not lost.
@@khairulamribinjumaat7566 I am DESPERATELY TRYING …The others do not even vote for the brighter future of their kids and grandchildren …
This is 2024 and my mother and dad were married by the 1950's and so I am really enjoying this. It's funny to realize you've been on the earth almost 70 years.
If I ever meet a Ray I’m gonna hold on to him for dear life🤞🏾💍💕
Me too! 😭
I can be your ray
may all of you meet your ray
😂😂 I'm here @@TajhSmith-y4z
Oh my goodness, I really didn't want this to end. How sweet
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
Me too... I wanted 10 hours of this movie
Me neither! I think this is number 3 or 4. My Mom and I used to watch it!
@@cuprunnethover2509 my mom and I have watched it several times and again last night after going a few years without seeing it. I found it here and decided to watch it from the beginning because I always seemed to miss the first. Love it.
I wish this was longer too!!!
In this fast paced and insane world we live in, it is nice to be remined about how much pleasure can be found in the simple life. Thank you for the reminder.
I found this movie on a short UA-cam video then I tried to find the full movie on UA-cam just to see and here I’m watching this movie again and again and again since 3 days now. Asking myself how great movies like this one can exist and I could live my life without knowing that 🥰♥️☺️😊 please God we need more Ray in this world 🙏🏾
This is a lovely movie. How blessed a woman to find such a kind man in real life
Can't remember how many times I've watched this movie. Bought it from iTunes. Worth having in your own collection. Many years from now, this will become beloved classic. Skeet won as best actor for his role as Ray.
well, he did a very good job, huh? loved them both.
He’s a such great actor
i wondering Skeet was playing his own personality?
The magic of a beautiful film. The movie stays with you as the viewer in taken on the journey with Ray and Livvy.
Skeet Ulrich and Keri Russell's performances are subtle but powerful. Each showing compassion for the other as
they navigate getting to know each other under uncomfortable circumstances.
Livvy is surprised by Ray's innate wisdom and touched by his gentleness and kindness.
Ray's horizons are expanded while learning about the interests and dreams of Livvy. Great performances.
Can't imagine another actor representing Ray better than Skeet Ulrich. His performance is magical.
Anyone watching October 2024?
Not yet😂

From Nigerian with love... I watched it just yesterday night!... Perfect!!😢😊😊 Now I'm seeking movies like it... I think old movies really are beautiful because they are without the wanton, selfish ideologies of today.
Μe from Greece
Yes,😂😂😂😂😂
Even though there are bad men who weren’t taught right, there are men like Ray that exist and I thank the Lord and the parents who raise men like Ray. I am blessed to have met many friends who are like this and God willing hope to meet a guy like this one day. Thank you for sharing this movie ❤
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
That kick!!!!
poor dogs out of the house into the cold!

God make me a husband like Ray to my wife pleasuring You, being humble before her. Thank you.
Another lost woman filled with Marxist Communist / Femi-Nazi propaganda, which has brainwashed her into believing, that she's not happy unless she is a (so called) independent woman. No one is independent, as we are all interdependent. A man needs a woman and a woman needs a man. Helen of Troy was the downfall of two kingdoms, and the character in this movie represents the same destruction. Men and women are not equal but men and women are equally important. Does she finally figure this out?
This is the perfect movie in every way possible.
I married a' Ray'.when we met i was coming out of a very complicated long relationship that left me never the same.i was messed up emotionally and all other ways..but i married him still, when i look back i realise i took a huge risk, it could have been disastrous.I must say that after 8 years of marriage i appreciate him ever more for being patient, respectful,loving,kind and so humble all these years.at times i feel i dont deserve him but am thankful that he endured the complications .he taught me by his actions and kind words to emulate him and try to love him if not the same but similar with my imperfections..
Il be forever thankful for experiencing true love with my husband
I’m 23 and I only hope that I can find someone like that one day. I’ve never been with anyone before so I just dream about it.
❤
Movies like these show that a love story does not even need sexual content, so beautiful.
Yup movies now a days are about lust. Betrayal. Drama. Misrepresented as love
For me, it's the facial expressions and words not said. I love this film!! It's what Ray had been praying for a wife and children 🙏
Yes, very expressive film. This is rare, nowadays.
One of my all-time favourite movies! It's such a beautiful story.
Have you watched Love Comes Softly? That's good too.
Absolutely one of my favorites as well!!!
@@marys6800 I have, the entire series:)) they should make more films like that!
Ahh, this movie is so darned sweeet! I will never be able to erase it from my mind. What a pleasure! I was around 6 years old when this supposedly took place, and have a sister 9 years older than me, so can readily identify with subject matter and a way more simpler time in life. Loved the lake boat scene. Ray simply adored her, so aware right then that this woman, come into his life, was the girl of his dreams! Loved the dinner table scene where "Troy" is mentioned. Just hilarious! Got a big kick out of Mrs. Platt and Mrs. Parker. Twins?? Ray and Livvy were meant to meet each other, enrich each other's lives; changed people because of this. The author, director, photographer, location scout manager, ALL, are tremendously talented adding to this movie's magic. Thank you, everyone, involved in the making of this gem!
To whomever wrote this script it is truly beautiful writing. The actors were so wonderfully cast and directed! Thanks for the upload!
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
The book is wonderful as well!
I didn’t know I needed this movie for more emotional healing. I pray that my wife will soon forgive herself for her mistakes in the past!
I love the quiet development of this film and the characters. It really says something about getting to the base of what it means to love and become a family. I first watched this years ago and then forgot until it came up on my algorithm. I'm so grateful to have rediscovered it.
Its a good movie
I keep watching this wonderful movie. I cant seem to stop. It takes me away from the rotten ecistence i have in nursing home. I remeber the wrong choices i made growing up. Oh if only someone helped me to know people like Ray existed and i could wait for him. A soul mate. I was so alone and took the first one that ask me.Please keep showing this movie. It takes us away from this life.
I am sorry you are so lonely Linda. Where are you located? I mean what state? Your friendship would be a blessing. I love to write letters too! Take care
I don’t like how Abby was going to start terrible rumors and lies about Ray. I love how Livvy defended him, and told Abby that she couldn’t do that. Abby wanted Livvy for her own selfish reasons, because her husband was sent to war and she was lonely.
I really enjoy watching her love for him grow a little bit more each time, and after she got the ring, a simple diamond, that was just for her made her realize that the love he had for her was real, and genuine.
Watching her give birth and name their son after Rays and Martha’s brother was very heartwarming. But when Ray started singing to Daniel, I bawl every time.
I missed that they named the baby for Ray’s brother! Thanks for mentioning it!
Beautifully said. Thank you.
What a beautiful movie. I was moved from beginning to end. They had some great actors and actresses. I know I will watch this movie again, maybe a few times, in fact.
Russel, what a classically beautiful woman!
It is a rare pleasure to watch a sensitive film about the emotions between a man and a woman.
I loved this film. (And I knew a Japanese family whose home was taken away and they were sent to a work camp. Somehow, after the war, they got their property back). He was such a a good man -- I'm lucky, I have one too.
This is so relatable. Marrying someone initially not in love with and then realizing how good they are to you, you can't help but love them. ❤️ Love how this movie reveals such a deep truth, without all the garbage. Real men like this do exist, they desire a woman's happiness and want to deeply love her like she deserves. It's a feeling so beautiful, one only feels unworthy of such goodness.
I've never met ir heard of such a man...
I believe it, my boyfriend is like this, a complete gem.
I'm here because of Tiktok. Can't believe I'd find a free Romantic movie as beautiful and touching as this. I love everything about this film. From the costume & the location to the character's chemistry, made me fall in love with the story, wishing for more. Haven't seen Skeet since "SCREAM".
The ending should be EVERY Man and Woman’s goal in life❤

Mine isn't to have kids, but it is to have a husband who loves me.
The scenery and landscaping in this movie is breathtaking! It is so comforting to watch it over and over again because of the excellent acting and plot and ending. You will not be disappointed.
