Our featured couple segment is a monthly thing! If you have a couple that you’d like to nominate, send us a message! It will be published the last Monday of every month.
Marriage is hard. Do I say that in every #MarriageMonday post? I think so because it’s so true! In a society that doesn’t value the sanctity of marriage, it can be difficult to find role models for our marriages. The featured couple segment is meant to give you a couple that you can follow if you don’t have any in your life.
Who Is the Featured Couple?
Gary and Annette Schreiber are my middle sister’s in laws. However, we have known them almost all our lives. They were our 4-H leaders when we joined.
What Do I Admire?
So they have been married for forever, like 41 years. They have three grown boys with wives and families of their own. They raised three amazing men. Gary and Annette are always giving and doing. Always. Never complaining.
The thing that makes me most happy about them is how they are always smiling, joking and laughing with each other. Kayla tells us stories of how funny they are together. They are willing to go and do anything for anybody.
You can often find them holding hands or have their arms around the other when out and about.
Marriage is hard work, but they make it look effortless. They facilitate pre-marriage classes. (If only they accepted non-Catholic couples!)
I’m sure life isn’t all sunshine and roses for them, but you could never tell. They choose joy over and over again. They choose to let God shine through them. They choose to spread all the love and compassion through the world.
If you have been touched by Gary and Annette, let them know! What’s your favorite memory of them? What do you love most about their marriage?
