Amish rules allow people to marry only a member of the Amish church. When an Amish couple gets married they are expected to stay married for life. The spouse of the one who gets the divorce would not be allowed to remarry. Some, who are experiencing marital difficulties, will seek help through their church leaders or from a Christian counselor. In many Amish homes, where a couple is raising a family, only the husband will work outside the house, while his wife takes care of the children and does the household chores. Some Amish women, however, run a business from their homes or in a building on the same property, allowing them to be close to home and their family, while helping with the finances. In the case where there are no children at home, a wife may work outside the home at a job in a nearby town, or they may run a business that is not on their property. An Amish man is the head of the home, but most Amish women have an equal say in many things, including making decisions that will affect their future. Most Amish men share in the responsibility of caring for the children. I have seen many Amish fathers in church, holding their small children. Amish couples work together to share the load. Some Amish women can be seen helping their husbands in the fields, and some men help their wives with yard work and household chores. The Amish love to have fun, laugh, and tell jokes, and this helps to keep their marriage strong. A good sense of humor can be a buffer during difficult times, and life is always more enjoyable when one finds something positive to smile and talk about. The strong faith in God that a couple shares also helps to keep their marriage strong. Looking to God for guidance, and praying about things can help a couple through trying times. Most Amish couples have outside interests. The women are often involved in quilting, crafts, artwork, gardening, and many other creative things. The men frequently meet their friends or family members for coffee and to visit and catch up with local news. Many Amish men like to fish and hunt. Amish couples enjoy getting together with their friends for indoor and outdoor games, such as volleyball, baseball, horseshoes, and shuffleboard. Many Amish couples enjoy traveling and will go on trips, either just the two of them, or with family or friends. A change of scenery, and doing fun things together, can help strengthen a marriage. If you are married, is there anything special you do to strengthen the relationship between you and your spouse? The grandchildren are now both in school and we lost both our parents this past year. Our plans are to help our son move into my moms house after renovation and then travel some in our RV. We love camping and plan to do a lot of that before we get too old to do so. It is always good to marry a Christian man or woman who have the same belief as you. I also believe in a lot of the ways the Amish believe. I believe in Praying to God everyday and through out the day ,reading the bible together as family an on ur own. God has really blessed my husband and I. We always talk about our troubles to one another an pray together when trials come our way. We have been together for 35 yrs. I am a preacher God called me in 2000 Without God we are nothing ,and the way people are today is very sad. We just thank God for our two children and our eight grand children and one great grand child still follow God. I lost my husband five years ago this week. Like others, I also think prayer is the key to any relationship—something I am learning still. I would delight in cooking and eating meals, gardening, walking, and talking together. Something I do regret is not taking time together regularly. We were raising kids and working so hard, which is a blessing in itself, but I would hope to go camping and go on trips together. I so enjoyed your blog about an Amish marriage and family! We have almost been married for 50 years and during those years we have struggled at times but the center of our home is the Lord Jesus and our relationship with Him has helped us over the years to work through any issues we might have. I love to help my husband when he is doing projects and just be a part of his life and he does the same with me. He tells me daily how much he loves me and how important I am in his life. I also love to thank him for his special care for me: fixing breakfast, gathering the trash and helping me when I need a strong hand to open jars. Our love has grown stronger and deeper through the years. Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary. We have had our ups and downs in our marriage as do most people. My husband is retired from the Navy and I just retired last March. We have had to adjust to being together most of the time. And I wish sometimes he would go away for a few days so I could get some cleaning done. Along with many prayers and trusting God in marriage we are doing good. We like to take a little time away from each other, as I will go home to Maine to visit with my sisters and our mom. I think this helps us to appreciate all that we have. I really enjoy reading your newsletters. I have a trip planned to Shipshewanna this year. I was married to my husband for 27 year before he passed away from Cancer. I was always looking forward to seeing him after we both finished our job. I was able to distress before coming home by thinking to myself about my days work if it angered me. Then I turned to corner to my home and continued with a whole new attitude. We enjoyed each other and respected each others time alone,. Shared values are critical, cricism inappropriatly applied is more damaging than good. Faith in God is critical as it fills in the gaps of all of the above and so much more. Gratitude in tough times stabilizes things. Love your work Wanda Brumstetter. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and the Amish lifestyle. But more than that, we each know the Lord personally as our Savior! Thankful that our children know the Lord as Savior also and are serving Him in various capacities. Our son preaches and also leads the music at his church. Our daughter is mentally handicapped and in a special home, but oh how she touches hearts through her smiles, prayers, and encouragement to others! My husband and I also try to get away a couple times a year for a few days up to a week, just the 2 of us! But we also usually eat out every Friday afternoon! Recently I had knee replacement and my husband showed how much he cared by caring for me daily! Cooking, cleaning, laundry, transporting me to PT, filling my ice machine that helped with swelling, monitoring my meds, etc. Just an all around great guy. And he also weekly does the vacuuming as I have severe back problems as well. We do for one another as necessary! That goes alongside with our vows. For better or worse, in sickness and in health. We entered into marriage never thinking about divorce. We are in it for life! God has blessed us and given grace in difficult situations! We have been married for 47 years and have been sealed for time and all eternity in The Lords Temple. We have enjoyed 13 children, now have lost 2 of them. My husband fell 11 years ago and hit the back of his head which has left him severely disabled and I take care of him full time. We are promised in the next world that our bodies will be made perfect again. Keep up the good work, I enjoyed all your books so far. I love how the Amish do things when it comes to marriage. I wish more people followed suit. I love the way that you write about the Amish in your books. I like the fact that you use realistic circumstances in your books. I was just reading a cousins challenge and you had been talking about marital problems among an Amish family. I think its important to realize that everyone, no matter who you are you will have some sort of problem in their marriage at some point. However, I love the fact that the Amish stick it through and find a way to overcome whatever the obstacle may be. I also love the fact that the Amish make time for healthy fun. However, when I do get married someday I would want to keep my marriage strong by making sure I always have time for the other person, and making sure that we stay on the same page for what is going on in our lives, and also keeping on track with God. Once a week we go out to dinner. This is usually on a Friday night. We go for rides around our valley where we are able to view lots of birds, hawks, deer, coyote, and lots of water fowl. We almost always go for a ride after church on Sunday. I do the cooking and my husband does the dishes. On our rides we are able to discuss and share things that need to be ironed out. If you are at home, you see all the things that need to be done and talking does not happen. Better to get out of the house. We are working on 54 years of marriage. My husband was in the Army when we got married. We go to church together and that is important to me. I support him in one way that I go with him when he likes for me to be with him. And I ask him to be with me sometimes also. Not always something he enjoys. Give and take has always worked for us. I would love to be able to attend an Amish wedding. As we have quite a few Amish communities around us, maybe I will be lucky enough to do so. I love the way the Amish administer to GOD and their beliefs. I too am a Christian and I feel the love that they do too, it is so comforting to be able to do so. I love your books, keep writing and until we meet again on your pages, have a wonderful day and God Bless You and Yours. We will be married 57 years in September and have had a good marriage. My husband does so very much for me. My friends tell me that I am spoiled rotten, but I enjoy it, He worked part time for 11 years after he retired, but quit a year ago and now he does breakfast every morning. We also moved my mother and dad in with us after dad had a stroke and he treated them just as he did his own parents. I will have to say that I have been blessed. My husband I have been married almost 9 years and have grown so much! We respect each other and I can tell him anything. We have a lot of talks. We have a 1 and 2 year old so are very busy but do go to church on my weekends off and we have taught our kids to pray before eating, and they will not eat without praying first. I love seeing my husband with my kids- it just melts my heart. We try to get date nights in when we can. We trust each other and I know we will always be together. I am so lucky to have found a good honest God loving man. We were both Christian young people, age 19 when married and he reached age 20 only 3 days later. We adopted two little sisters ages 2 and 3 when we had been married 19 years. We both held jobs away from home, had a musical ministry, and attended church services in many different locations in addition to our local church. We raised our girls in a Christian home and it was filled with the love of God. We invited Him to help us through every storm and good times. We credit God for our long marriage. I love the faith and closeness in the families when it comes to the Amish. The whole community is family. They take care of each other. My Parents have lived in the same house for almost 50yrs. Most couples that get married have been raised up together all of their life so they know more about the one they are marring then they do their self. My first husband was a physical abuser to me when he was drinking. He would throw furniture and everything. My sons dad was a drug user so he was both a physical abuser and mental abuser to me and our son. My second husband was an emotional, mental abuser. So I have had it all in my relationships. He had to go cause I saw myself neglecting my son because of him. He cared enough for her to take his hands off steering wheel to save her. But he list control and was killed. The younger guy I am with now has been there for me. It may be a struggle at times because he is grieving different from me mine is more deeper. But we keep going. God bless If the Lord lets us, in June we will have been married forty years. We like to take drives out in the country. We leave off the radio, so we can talk and have quiet time together. We go to church together and pray together. We share some of the same interests. We treat each other with respect, sharesome chores, and do our best not to keep secrets from each other. We give each other room to grow and make mistakes. Since my mother lives with us it is important that my husband and I do things just for us. Every Saturday we have a date day. We have a gourmet popsicle shop near us and we visit it and talk with friends. When I come home from work we spend time in our garden or yard swing drinking coffee. We take time for us. We also have hobbies that we both do. This year we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We must be doing something right. My Mom, Aunt and Cousin met an Amish couple in Berne, Ind. We always went there every summer to camp at Amishville for a week. We met this couple while they were dating and now they have Grand-children. Sometimes we would get some doughnuts and go over in the morning for coffee while the men were off working. This is why i enjoy reading about the Amish.. Helps keep me in touch with their ways. I was so sick when i was trying to read The Hawaiian Discovery and it made me feel better inside as I was reading it. Your books are just so inspirational besides being a wonderful book to read. The two of you are a great inspiration to peoples lives just thru the books and even though it is not marketed that way it truly is just so good. There are so many things that have made me feel more comfortable here in Iowa moving from Ca just from your books. There was a little Amish boy in Michaels a few weeks ago with his mom and I kinda smiled she kept apologizing to me about him and i just smiled at him letting him know what a treat it must of been for any boy to be there in the toy aisle and seeing all the toys. The moment made me feel like several in your books!
