When Anthea Met Michael

"This is the only body I've got. If I don't love it, who will?" - Anthea. Such powerful words.

Now that is a MAN and a HUSBAND. Cheers to you, man

So people keep asking still happily married 8 years now been together nearly 14. Yes shes the boss. This video is slightly out of date now as I have a different job (3rd in command in it) and Anthea has new wheelchair with custom paint work and new eye gaze communication device.

I have a 10 year old son who has cerebral palsy. I get sad on certain days knowing I’m the only one he has since I am a single mother but watching this made me so happy knowing there are such amazing people out there. Wishing, hoping and praying the best for every one and to find love!! Amazing story!! ❤️♥️♥️❤️♥️

Anthea is such a lovely woman and Michael has an amazing attitude and his good humour and the way he teases her is so cute, he treats her like she doesn't have a disability and that's what makes a huge difference. He treats her as an equal and you can tell that he genuinely loves her because he does it all out of love knowing the full responsibility before he got involved with her. Wishing you both a very happy marriage forever and beyond. Xxxxxxx

God I'm so grateful for everything I have and everything I am

It was so hilarious when she started chasing him lmaooo "Ah it's a hill what a shame" lol. Man they seem like so much fun to be around. I wish them the best

She deserves love ❤️ not because she’s disabled but because she’s a human. Just like he deserves love. I’m glad they found each other

I admire her cuz I think so low of my self and with the barriers she confront she love her self... god bless her

Being disabled myself I can relate because I have an amazing wife who means the world to me. Even when we don't speak to each other we know each other's thoughts. Congratulations you two

This is relatable on so many levels. I am also a 20 year old woman with cebral palsy. But I am a lot more moble than Anthea. But I also went though endless therapy sessions and a lot of surgeries. I feel like me and Anthea are proof that people with disabilities can have fulfilled lives. I went to highschool with all the other kids, I finished high school and am now living on my own with a care giver who comes once a week to help with household chores. And I am a university student. I also have an able-bodied partner. A lot of people in my live probably thought I would never get this far. But I did and I am very proud of myself. I will never take for granted what I have today and what I will achieve in the decates to come. I am just so thankful

This comment section is so depressing. Why do people find it so hard to believe someone can genuinely love someone with a disability without something bad behind it or alternatively think they must be some kind of saint if they do? I’m severely disabled but I have always taken care of my partner and given just as much to her as she gives to me, just in less obvious ways. Even when I can do nothing but lay in bed, she has needs I can meet like listening to her or comforting her or even asking my careers to do things that I would do if physically able and although it’s not actually my body doing the things she knows it’s from me, like when I choose for my careers to cook her favourite meals. In the early years of our relationship she did a lot physically for me and people thought she was some kind of saint, but in the last couple of years she has become very disabled too so we lay next to each other every day and both have to be more creative about ways we care for each other. Who is the saint now? Neither of us! We are both just flawed human beings who both have needs AND things to offer. People who are not disabled can even sometimes be the more needy one in a relationship, trust me. I have been in relationships in the past where I gave far more than I received even though I was the disabled one, because the other person was not emotionally healthy or very easy to be in a relationship with! Please don’t assume a persons body and physical abilities are always the biggest factor in what they have to offer or who they can be to others in their lives. It’s such an over simplistic way of looking at things.

Micheal you're an AMAZING man. Athena you're a special lady yourself. My heart is glowing from this story. 💖💖💖

and i cant even get a text back, no seriously this is beautiful im so happy for them

For me, HE is a Perfect human and simple DEVOTED MAN and a Husband. High 10 to this amazing MAN!

Now I can't get a relationship that would even treat me a good as he treats her. Such amazing love.

Is it me or does he always look like he is about to burst out laughing? Guess he is just a happy guy

Rule one on the 'instructions' board: DO NOT TOUCH MY PHONE! :') hahahaha

I have the utmost respect for people like Michael and other men who look past the disabilities and the wheelchair and see people for who they truly are.

You can tell this man loves her he's such a good man 💕❤️💕
