The fun finale of this year’s Marriage Refresh event was the making of a video, with each couple sharing their number of years married, from most newlywed to longest tenured marriages.
And the internet liked it!
Within 24 hours, it rocketed past any previous NF video in total views. It also brought additional attention to our NF YouTube page and its other videos.
It continued to amass views, escalating into the thousands . . and hundreds of thousands. And today, it surpassed 1 million.
Have you seen it yet?
Check out the million view video.
JANUARY 18 UPDATE – After reaching the million mark in 11 days, the video has added another million in the last 7 days.
JANUARY 23 UPDATE – And 5 days later the video exceeded 3 million total views.
JANUARY 29 UPDATE – 4 million!

“O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved and mercy more than life.”
We remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
And we treasure the words of our Savior, Who gave His life for us:
“Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13
