If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you have probably heard some parts of what my husband and I have experienced in the first few years of our short married life.
Recently, we (my husband and I) started leading a small group in our church for married couples. We recorded several videos about some of the most relevant topics for married couples that want to “Build a Marriage To Last For A Lifetime”.
The topics that we are discussing are:
- Marriage Expectations
- Communication and Resolving Conflict
- Personalities
- Going Through Hard Times As A Family
- Marriage and Money
- Romance and Intimacy
- The Purpose of Each Of Our Families
(If you are interested in watching the rest of the videos, you can find them here. Not all of them are upload yet, but we will be uploading the rest every week for the rest of the month.)
One of the videos that we are sharing this week is our story and I thought some of you may be interested in seeing a video recording of our “rememberings.”
I hope our story encourages and inspires some of you. God has led us through the darkest valleys but has always been faithful.
Thank you for sharing such a difficult time of your lives and how you remained faithfully to God during this time.
I have just begun my journey after being diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago. I'm out of surgery now and continue to see that God can make "good" things out of "bad" circumstances. May His name be glorified. God bless your family.

Thank you for sharing! May the name of the Lord be praised! Many blessings to your beautiful family!!!
Thank you for this. I cried through the entire thing. You are such an encouragement. Be Blessed!
Wow thank you guys for sharing your beautiful story of such a strong marriage!!! May God richly bless you with health and more blessings so Nathaniel won't be lonely 🙂
God bless you, Serge and Nathaniel. Our God is awesome! Even though I can't relate, it was very difficult to hear the struggles that your family has had to overcome. With only a "5% chance" you seem to be doing very good. So happy for you. If I was on the monitor the day I found out you were expecting- I probably had a few PVCs. 😉 Thank you for sharing your story.
You are both such wonderful people. Wish you lots more happiness in life.
Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing. Our God is an Awesome God. Thanks for giving him the glory so publicly and encouraging all of us.
Blessings to your family . I must of used half a box of Kleenex. I pray that this video blesses those who need this in their hard times
Thank you once again for sharing your story. May God continue to use you for his kingdom and glory!!!
Hi Olga!
After reading and watching your story it's impossible not to get emotional. It's hard to loose your loved ones. In some ways I relate to your story, I lost a baby when I was 8 months pregnant... thank you for sharing your story. May God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much for sharing such a powerful message with us Olga & Sergi. Couldn't watch you guys without having tears in my eyes. God is so good and he has truly blessed you with an amazing baby boy. God bless your family with health and happiness! Thanks again, you guys are so amazing!!
God bless you!!!
That was great. You had me in tears the whole time. And it was touching to see your husband's honesty. Thank you for that video.
Also, Olga, if you don't mind my asking, what kind of church do you attend? Is your family in the Orthodox church? I was raised simultaneously in the Russian Orthodox church and a Baptist church (after my mom became a church pianist there), and there are some elements of the American church that I appreciate a lot (especially the openness about talking about your faith and encouraging others) and notice in your video.
You are a witness for our Lord!
God bless you and your husband! What a amazing reminder that God is good ALL the time.
