If an old KY momma can give you a little advice. Let your marriage always be like a weeping willow tree, bend at the times that are necessary but never, never let them break you. God Bless
That is lovely
Amen
I love this
Yea ma’am 🤍
Amen. Great advice. Like the song by Tanya Tucker "Strong Enough To Bend"
*A couple that can persevere through the hard times and can keep smiling makes a marriage even stronger. Married for 32 years and I KNOW...* 😉
Perserverance: AMEN!
I wanted a third child and to be a stay at home mom, not in the cards. Became a single mom, raised two wonderful kids, work as a counselor help ing many of God' s children who are my family. That's a blessing God gave me.
Your a Blessing
My husband and I have been married for 36 yrs. We have road that roller coaster of life. But we are still together.
You guys probably don’t realize but your an inspiration to many of us , God bless you guys and good luck with your “expansion “ 🌹
Been married 30yrs and sometimes we are totally NOT on the same page at all.
But, there is an old saying that sums it up completely (for me)... “it ain’t worth havin’ , if it ain’t worth fightin’ for” ... love you guys!
I’ve been married 34 years and I just said to my husband why is? What made us stay when we had bumps? Neither of us had any idea.
I'm so happy you're having more children! I have 8 children and we've been homeschooling for 27 years and it's been our greatest joy to have this wonderful big family! During this 2018-19 year we've been dealing with our 5th child (16 year-old daughter) who was suddenly diagnosed with ALL (childhood leukemia). The most horrible thing imaginable to happen to a child (and their loved ones), let me tell you. It's amazing what a family can get through when they settle down and make the conscious decision to lean on the Lord and work on/fight for their future. Love you guys and God bless you all!
So true, God bless you and your family.
I've always thought you guys are so adorable together. I pray you are doing well now.
God bless y'all in your marriage and your homestead! He will supply all your needs if you have faith.
Amen
I love yall so much.
Yall are heifers for that teasing intro though. 😂
But even still, I do love yall.
They scared me to death there for a second that's for sure lol
I was thinking the same thing Jess, thought they were going to say another Stiver was on the way! 😘
@@lavendercrowl5695 Me, too!
i remember that video all too well... it was mid winter when we got the chance to watch it. We were just getting by because it was cold, and being in the construction business, work either slows or comes to a creeping halt during that time of year. We found this video when we could only sit here and dream of spring... and better things. It soothed my soul and helped to keep that spark alive in our hearts to just keep pushing forward on so many dreams and goals of our own!!!
Today I am thankful for you, Jess, being a vessel for God to speak his promises.
I married my husband who had 3 children and I have one of my own. When he told me he was done I was devastated. I understand that struggle. I love watching you all.
Yes marriage is hard.. way back when, our grandparents believed in if something is broken they fixed it, they didn't get rid of it..
so true. Many people need to remember that a marriage is a family or team effort. Everyone has to work toward a common goal. I unfortunately divorced 20+ years ago, because he gave up & I went to AlaNon. To "let go & let God" take your strife off your shoulders, is the greatest feeling. My kids are 22 & 24, both the most precious part of my life. ((Hugs))
@@sharonabels2509 hooey
And they were all miserable.
Brother, before I even watch this, I'm gonna pray for you all. I've been hacking it out for 3 1/2 years in a trailer building my farm and house, IT'S BEEN HARD! It's made a Lotta stress for us but only by the power of God has kept us together. Really close to leaving a few times , it's too hard to go. We've been trying to get out of the rat race because it almost killed us once. We've sort of brought old into the new. But no more it's a new day yall. Love and respect.
Y’all don’t even know...this video just made me cry. I am so happy you two came through. We are presently where you were. You just became my Jess & Miah with this video.
Seeds And Sanity I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. I was with my ex for 30 years. He took me on vacation in 2009 and we arrived back home and he left the marriage, and left that very day, and taking our brand new 5th wheel trailer for him to live in. Hang in there, things could change like Jen and Zach. I would spend a lot of time in prayer if you pray. Good luck, I know how painful it is. How long have you been married? Children?🦋💜
What a beautiful video. Much love to your family!❤
People walk away so easy now a days. It’s great to see a couple work on things. Cheers to you and many prayers for many more years together. May God bless you with another child and a wonderful future.
I’m so stinkin HAPPY for your family!!!! The Lord is good and His mercy endureth forever 😇
Wow! What an awesome story. Thank you for sharing and for being authentic. The best is yet to come! ☮️♥️
Love your smiles, and where God has brought you! You got this💕
Transparency, Thank You For Being You, Being Honest, and Being Real. Blessings My Friends, and Blessings To A Beautiful New Chapter To Your Journey.
It is not ease that makes a marriage strong but the trials and struggles that strengthen you both. Best of luck to your future.
Beautifuly put. I like to think it isn't wether you fight or not, but do you communicate? My hubby & I would have ended by now if we didn't learn how to be honest and communicate.
@@kariannecrysler7437 Same and we are going on 22 years together
@@CynBrown congratulations on 22! Tug and I are 11 year's in. I know I will probably think about divorce at least once or twice more, but never changes the image of where I want us to be in our 80's..... Together however, wherever and as long as possible. Lol
Oooohhhh my goodness I just squealed. Yay. I will be praying for God to bless you with little Stivers #3
Thank you, beautiful souls. What a gift you have given so many and how brave of you to be honest. May the golden light of love increase in your lives. Blessings to you
You two are so real, such an inspiration; it’s lovely!
Whereas I'm not a parent, nor a religious person, I'm in love with your positivity! Your love feels infectious and full of joy❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. All of my last 34 yrs have been filled with trauma, anxiety and depression and it just keeps getting worse day by day literally. But hearing your story and everything you've been through and the obstacles you've overcome, have really given me hope that there will be better days eventually.
Each new day is a chance for a better day. ❤️ 🙏 ❤️
Real people, real life.. Thank you for being real.. I am glad all is in a better place..
Kindness our way

Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing a part of your lives.
Thank you for sharing and encouraging. Blessing to a beautiful family. Go Stive Tribe!!!
I lost my husband of 32 years in 2007, one of the things I miss is having someone to fight with. That is a blessing believe me. God Bless you both.
So sorry ❤️
Congratulations!!!! this is great news, you two make beautiful babies! I cannot wait for it to be a reality.
Yes, the world could use more Stivers. Thanks for being you. Made me realize what I have.
God changed your heart! That's what happened! Happened to me too! I was SO done having kids, until God allowed me to see into my husband's heart. I spent a few months in prayer and God changed my heart. I am his only wife for my life and if I can bless him with one more, that's what I'm called to do. Fast forward... we now have 5 kids and the Lord does provide
Zach, it's the grace of God that opened your heart to be open to life. Many blessings upon both of you! Thank you for sharing your hearts with us and you will continue to be in my prayers.
I second that! So glad you are open to life! You will be blessed beyond your imagining with this decision. God Bless you and love to you.
Thank you for sharing! Praying God blesses you beyond need! 🙏💕 My husband and I went through a time like this…we’re actually in divorce court at the 10 year mark. 😔 Without taking up a lot f space with details, the bottom line is that we realized that praying for each other and caring for each other, BEFORE our own self, was what saved our marriage. We are heading into our 40th anniversary now and going strong, and still putting each other first. I stumbled across you while looking for recipes on canning up my leftover Easter ham and so glad I did! Love your channel! Thank you!
Whenever l watch your vids, l always have a big smile on my face. Please stay together, you're both awesome.
You’ve brought me to tears. God Bless you! I pray you won’t have to wait too long. 💕
I was sobbing like a baby. I am so happy for you guys. I have been following you from the beginning. I pray that the perfect property is presented to you so that you can continue to grow your homestead and family. Thank you for being you and real for all of us. God bless
It would have been a darker world without all of your smiles, caring and love. You are an incredible couple and family. I will continue to pray for your beautiful family.
Y’all are a wonderful couple. I’m so proud for you two.
This is exactly why I watch your channel and have said from the beginning. Ya'll are Fun and Honest; Sharing the good and the bad, the ups and the downs the successes and the failures. Everything happens for a reason. I am so very happy for you and your family!. Blessings to my friends!
You all had me crying 😭Wishing you all the best on this journey called life💗💗💗💗💗
Beautiful couple! I just love you two!! Prayers for a precious little Stivers bundle of joy in your arms soon!! ♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations on your bright future, continued love and the hope of an addition to your family.
I'm in tears... that was a ride you just took me through😭😂 and I'm blowing over some baby dust I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant with our 4th!!! ❤❤❤ sending you love and prayers!😘😍
I’m crying! I knew some of this because I have watched you from day one!
Me and Lee went through a similar thing. For other reasons but almost divorced about 3 years ago and, a lot of prayer later, we are happier than ever!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful story!
Stringfield Ridge Farm ❤️💕🌺
I couldn’t simply imagine my life without the Stiver’s in it, and I’m sure now you couldn’t either :)
Hugs...many almost moments quietly hid and then they pass. 41 yrs married and love each other more each day! Hugs
Family is so important,blessing on you both as you grow your family.
Thanks for sharing your story! I cried through most of it. The best part is you giving praise to God for getting you back on track with your marriage, Homestead and family. May the Lord bless and keep you! ❤️
Congrats guys, I`m glad you saved your beautiful family !
New subscriber from New Jersey from a single mom with my 2 daughters after struggling with my past relation I send blessings to you guys. God is good.
We have six children. Cannot imagine life without one of them.
You two just bless my heart ❤️ Isn’t God good?!
This is the beautiful honest Family. You guy's have brought in the light , I'm so impressed with your great fluidity conversations between each other. This Great Man honor's thy Mother+Father's friends . OMG the smiling alone just brightens up my Faith. Yr deep reflections yr constantly willingness to learn+ teach And Make a stand. Do not change yr demeanor. For Yu are part of Rightousness . Great job, seriously. I'm going to straight up . Get a utilities tractor. New Holland. Stronger fencing exspeacily dang Billy's goat's.. And yes a few dog's and tougher hog's Pen's separate from other animals. Ok ok Dog's protecting and Cat's yes yes Barn Cats . Hey great mouseier's . Teach them kiddos all about the tractor no fear practically+ maybe save a life with the tractor. The main reason I'm sharing because my mother wanted this too a farm always. And she did it , it was Hard two boys. But school, Diligence job pay for a piece of land+ teach her 2boys+raised them to be two wonderful Real Men of this great Nation 💟. Like Mom would say, It can be Done! I'm so grateful+proud. But seriously yr chapters are exciting. time will come for less than on the channel. But taxes think about Lama's or Bigger pole Barn ""Kentucky styling"" Yu know three stories down below the stalls in which breeder's bring in there horse's 🐴.and Right on top is hotel , hostel like setting. Im saying the ambiance . Hey it's Kentuckian!! Al the way. Tears of joy .thank Yu you've are blessed with Wisdom, Empathically yr intuition is yr Greatest gift to all .Date nights regularly. patience. Theses California Girls just exspects everything and leave,give up , poor me attitudes. I'm saying Midwest is where I needs to be. Great job 👌👏
This took courage. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your story. I'm grateful for your honesty. I know God is in charge and that He has touched you. Thank you for your videos.
May your family and blessings continue to grow along with your wonderful smiles ♥️
If only people were truly honest about the bad times in a marriage maybe when the bad times come for the rest they would not be delusioned and have others to look to knowing that there are answers and that maybe save some more marriages thank you for being honest about the hormonal lash outs and thank you to the husband for stating he doesn't understand thank you
I agree. My STBE husband and I were peppers. First major issue in our marriage and he gave up on it like a little bitch instead of fighting for our relationship. This was the guy who was supposed to have my back and who would protect me at any cost. I will never trust any man like that again
My dream of happiness was to live in the middle of acres of land with a dirt road to the homestead so when you see dirt rising, I could say " look , Pa , company's coming."
God bless !
Great testimony! Thanks for sharing! Y’all have a blessed week!!!
tears, goosebumps and PRAISE! wonderful truth and story and thank you for sharing.
I totally understand your story. I am so happy you two are going to try for another baby! I was convinced to get my tubes tied years ago after having my three boys. I went through divorce and was a single mom for 16 years. I am currently in a long term relationship and would love to have a baby or 2 with him. But I can’t and now cannot afford to adopt or any other option. I am so very happy that you all did not give up on your relationship. Praying for you all to continue to have your wonderful relationship! We are looking for land ourselves and start a compound too. You all rock and absolutely love your video!
Beautiful video and a beautiful story. Thank you for being so open and sharing. Bless you all
Such a beautiful family and such beautiful smiles. With God all things are possible!
i am where you were....would appreciate prayers. you are good people❤️
Know this may have been hard for you all to “tell all”. Just want you to know that we will be praying for you guys. Best of luck.
Love watching you and your family.
Awww tears of joy for you guys! GODS timing is always best much love ❤️
