Summary

Jennie and Zac sit down to tell the story of how they met, fell in love, got married young, and somehow made it through the messy years that almost broke them.

From long-distance letters to counseling breakthroughs, they talk honestly about what it takes to build something that lasts. They share the lessons they’ve learned about dating, engagement, community, and what it really means to stay when it would be easier to leave.

Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this conversation will remind you that love is built, not found - and God’s grace is the reason any of us make it.
