Am I late to the party? Does everyone else already know this darling couple from Lancaster County, Ben and Rose? They are entrancing. The evident love between them, and the honesty and simplicity of how they are — oh, I just love them!
I find them absolutely arresting. Wanting to pursue their music and (I suppose) their online presence, they have come out of the Old Order Amish context where they grew up, but their demeanour and relationship shows me something I have never seen — masculinity and femininity not acculturated to our normal Western culture in which the women are like Barbie and the men are like Shrek. There is a strength and confidence in that young woman, and a gentleness and shyness in her man, that give me hope for humanity

This gave me goosebumps! Thank you so, so much for sharing. I too am unfamiliar with them, but I now know what I will be doing with my free time this evening. Blessings from Canada❤️

Yes — I like these two especially but it seems to be something of a genre. There's a brother-and-sister couple called Mike and Marty doing something similar, and the Mike and Marty in question are the brother and sister of Rose (of Ben and Rose). There are also the Esch sisters — four of them — who seem to go to the same church, and a few others.
They're so cute! I wonder what kind of children they have. They must be adorable.
Они выглядят очень молодо — возможно, недавно поженились и ещё не имеют детей?
I hope God will give them some pretty babies, and they will sing songs for them too. And then they will grow up and sing for themselves :)
❤️
