| Amy with Gray (before) and Melissa (after) |

A decade old marriage between Amy Frary and Gray of Norfolk, England, survived despite the husband coming out as a transgender woman.
Gray now goes by the name Melissa.
The couple have three children, two from Amy’s previous relationship.
She was devastated and thought her marriage was over when Gray came out as Melissa. He said he had battled gender identity issues since the age of 12, when he started wearing his sisters’ clothes secretly. He decided to come out when he realised that he could not keep a lid on it any longer.
After he made his confession, Amy overcame her initial pain and decided to do whatever she could to keep her happy family together. She started going out on dates with Melissa after children went to sleep at night, reports Daily Mail.
Once both of them realised that the new arrangement was working, they gently broke the news to the kids, who understood.
Amy and Melissa now plan to renew their wedding vows next year, with both of them celebrating in new bridal gowns.
