Their meeting was an inspiration for him and a salvation for her. At this moment, time stopped and love was born. Their gazes crossed and hearts connected. Since then, Ivan and Oksana Okhlobystins have been walking side by side for more than twenty years.

At the first glance at her, I had hypertension …

Oksana Okhlobystina (nee Arbuzova) began acting in films at the age of 14, when she was invited to the naive and kind film "Katenka" for the role of a schoolgirl. The film "Crash, the daughter of a cop" made Oksana famous. And suddenly she, a second year student at the institute, began to refuse filming over and over again. She seemed to be absorbed by depression and did not allow her to move on. The girl began to seriously think about the possibility of suicide.

But my whole life was turned upside down by a fantastic meeting at the House of Cinema. Oksana was going down from the entrance when she met the eyes of the young man walking up. If now a brass band played at full power over her ear, she would not notice anything. She saw only those eyes and heard only the beating of her own heart.

Ivan fled to the House of Cinema when he noticed her. Delicate, light, slightly sad. He instantly disappeared in her eyes. The hurrying people disappeared somewhere, the sounds disappeared. He and she, as if two halves of one whole came together in one moment.

And then he was struck with thunder. It is unlikely that he immediately understood what had happened. Ivan, carried away by the contemplation of the beautiful creature, did not notice the opening door and crashed into it with all his might. The only thing he could do was shout to the girl that she would be his. Oksana just laughed in response. But I already knew for sure: she would certainly be his.

They did not make an appointment, they did not exchange phone numbers. In the evening he met by chance in a cafe. And we went for a walk around the city. He took her hand in his, so that he would never let go. On the same evening he proposed to her. It was love.

"If you said" I won't let go, "then do everything to stay"

Ivan managed to be late for the matchmaking. When the guests in Oksana's house were already bored, and the parents bowed their heads, the groom appeared. In funny sneakers and with a bouquet of daisies in his teeth, he silently knelt. And at the table, Vanya tore off his shirt to demonstrate his tattoos to the future mother-in-law. He thus defused the situation caused by his inconceivable delay. The bride's father immediately told his daughter that this one would definitely run away from her if she didn't pretend to be smart.

And Ivan whispered in Oksana's ear that they would get married in secret from everyone. She will be in a simple chintz dress. The girl laughed and demanded that he be dressed in a blouse. But everything was according to the laws of the wedding genre: a wedding, a registry office, a pompous restaurant, and then a holiday that lasted all week. They were young, in love and happy.

I will save you, sweetheart

After the wedding, Oksana was still invited to act. But at first she did not want to part with her husband at all, then the first pregnancy came, the happy expectation of the first child. They were waiting for the boy, they even came up with a name - Yegorushka. And Anfisa was born. The first child brought Oksana into a state of panic for the slightest reason.

But Ivan always came to the rescue with the words: "I will save you, darling!" He washed, swaddled, ironed and washed. He always came to the rescue, no matter how difficult it was. Simply because he knew: a family is responsibility not only for yourself, but also for all those whom you undertook to protect and protect.

Whenever there was any difficulty or problem, he would say this phrase over and over again. Saving her from panic, depression, physical exertion. Just by the right of the head of the family, a loving father and husband.

Life is a fairy tale that everyone writes for himself

Today the family of Ivan and Oksana Okhlobystin has six children, four daughters and two sons. Ivan Ivanovich, who always dreamed of a big family, never grumbles about the burden. He, like his wife, sincerely believes that it is difficult to raise one child, and two, three, six no longer matter.

Oksana seems to have completely dissolved in the family, getting immense pleasure from her main role in life. She herself admits that Ivan is her deity, he is for her the best and most important in everything.

True, he himself admits that the leadership still belongs to his wife. She bears the main burden of taking care of the house. The happy father with many children himself, after work, when everyone is asleep in the house, listens with pleasure to the breath of his many-voiced happiness, of his children.

The Okhlobystins consider love and faith in God to be the main foundation of strong relationships. Together they go to church services, confess and receive communion. Ivan Ivanovich was ordained a priest, he had a parish in Tashkent, where he served. True, the church service did not bring income, he was forced to take part in the filming, and then asked for blessings to continue his work in the theater, cinema, on television. A large family requires a lot of finance. The San was not removed from him, he was freed from coming and holding ceremonies. But Okhlobystin will be able to return to godly service as soon as he ends his acting career.

This is the only true love …

Looking at this large, loud, friendly family, one can say for sure that they are all happy together. When the door opens, the head of the family enters the house, all the children flock to meet him, trying to hug, kiss, touch. The father of many children himself gladly hugs each child, not taking his happy eyes off his wife.

Is there anything more important in life than this happiness? Only Faith, which helps them in any situation. As if angels protect comfort and tranquility in this amazing family, where peace, tranquility, mutual understanding reign.

Oksana and Ivan always say that they will never get divorced, no matter what difficulties they have in their relationship. They both want their children to be happy, so that they too have strong families. Therefore, they bring up their heirs by personal example.

Their house is always filled with children's voices, and their hearts are filled with unquenchable love, which only becomes stronger over the years. Probably, such are the marriages made in heaven.
