The Love Story of Larissa and Ian Murphy


What happened to Ian?

  • He was in a terrible car accident.
  • His brain was damaged, and he is now handicapped both physically and mentally.

Were you surprised that Larissa married Ian after his accident?

  • Yes. She didn’t have any moral obligation to marry him.
  • When you are aware of the suffering to come and that there will be a lack of natural consolations in the relationship, it is unusual to still marry.

What comparisons can you make between Larissa's loyal love and God's love?

  • God will never turn his back on us.
  • God loves us when we are handicapped and unattractive to the rest of the world.
  • We don’t deserve God’s love, but He gives it to us freely anyways.


Please pray for Ian and Larissa Murphy. Good news: in January 2017, Larissa gave birth to a son named Dietrich. You can purchase Ian and Larissa’s book on Amazon.
