Shawn is visibly holding her self sooo differently. In such a good way. She looks relaxed. Less ridged. Happy. Girl you are an incredible human. Inspirational. And amazing.
every word that comes out of Andrew’s mouth is so incredibly healing as someone who lacked emotionally mature, self aware men in my life growing up. from the words of affirmation about your body to aging together to his definition of a man. he IS the standard for men who should enter marriage/what i will look for
Last time I cried: on my way to work listening to Andrew tell Shawn how amazed he is with her body especially postpartum & that he hopes she can get to a place where she sees herself through his lenses. So beautiful.
Thank you for being so open and honest. You are making it available for people to learn to be intimate with their partner. I was married for ten years and came no where close to conversations like you two. No surprise it ended. Seriously. Thank you.
The last time I cried….um, now…listening to Andrew reassure Shawn how beautiful she is while she is feeling insecure in her body (around 7:00 minutes into the show). How beautiful. You are both wise beyond your years. ❤
Been married 17 years and have three kids and I love what you guys are doing for the younger generation. Showing them what marriage is really like, the good, the bad, and standing up for Christian values. We really need this right now online! Love following your family.
I have never seen any two people be so vulnerable . You two answered some hard questions. Marriage is hard and you have to work on it everyday . You have to want to be the best for each other !!! I like that btw ! That is great advice !
I can honestly and wholeheartedly attest to this. My hub and I just reached 50 and it’s been a slow crawl through raising kids and figuring things out but the last several years have smooth and deep and beautiful. Our level of patience and understanding and respect for and with each other has matured and broadened to a place of serenity and pure joy for the other. To be in this place makes all the rough times we endured so worth the efforts.
@@scrumps101thanks so much for sharing. Peace in marriage is such, such an underrated goal of life. We're almost 10 years married and I'm so grateful for everything, and I hope and pray for the best in the future ❤
I LOVE how vulnerable you guys were when talking (dare I say “trauma bonding”? 😜) about the fact that you’re going to couples counseling, not out of desperation, but to keep from getting there! ❤️ It also broke my heart that Andrew felt like he had to be perfect as a husband, because that’s just not possible. The well-intended “happy wife, happy life” idea can be so toxic, so the “happy spouse, happy house” attitude is one that I hope to take into any future marriage. Thank you for being amazing examples for the rest of the world to see! ❤️🙏🏻
I have never liked the term "happy wife, happy life", I prefer "happy spouse, happy house" The thing is, we make a choice every day to be happy or not. It's very refreshing to see this proactive approach to marriage in a world of "fast food" marriages and divorces. I feel like more people need to put in the work that it takes to have a successful marriage, like you both have. Mad respect for you both ❤
For me, as far as sex before marriage, I believe God meant it for after marriage. I would go back and change that if I could, but I know He has forgiven me!
@@BB-nw3mjthen don’t have sex. Marriage is a man and woman to be married and have sex inside of it and glorifying God through their marriage, and sex was also created by God to make babies…INSIDE of marriage between a man and a woman
Appreciate that you can have a conversation about intimacy and sex without being vulgar and obscene about it unlike the crassness with which I feel like it gets talked about on other influencer podcasts
You two are absolutley one of my all time favorite celebrity couples. Your relationship and love for one another is SO beautiful ❤️ thank you for being such a good example for the world of what marriage should look like! Keep it goin' yall
I am so grateful for you guys talking with such vulnerability- genuinely yall are such mentors for me and these types of vulnerable moments mean so much. ❤
Shawn: “I think we’re crying a lot more though” and without hesitation, Andrew while smiling and nodding “ 100%” 🤣 I really hate crying, but having children definitely brings it out more because we realize how imperfect we are and our need for a savior
Love that you are honest and vulnerable in every podcast ☺️People who relate to your situations as myself feel safer to talk about things with their spouses/other members too.
Thank you both. I haven’t laughed since my mom passed away 3 months ago. I’ve been pretty down. But I really laughed. You 2 are the cutest. Blessings 🩷💙
Whether you realize it or not, you just revealed to us that you are healing from the grief of your mom’s death. When we are in acceptance of “the loss itself”, VS the physical feelings of grief, then we are on the right track to wholeness in our lives again. ACCEPTANCE
Sex is a total gift of yourself, so it makes sense that it is within the context of marriage where you've made vows to another, and where that love and total gift of self manifests itself by creating another life. We literally get to cooperate with God in creating life.
You guys are living, breathing, walking, talking examples of what therapy can do for a marriage. You both look at each other through a completely different lense than you use to and it is just radiating off of you both just how happy you are now that you’ve worked some things out. I love it and both of you! ❤❤❤
Love your honesty! My husband and I have been married for 34 years this year and wish we had this knowledge when we were 8 years in! We are all a work in progress, always!
OMG, I have never commented on a podcast or anything like this in the past but when you said he sneaks chocolate in the middle of the night and leaves the wrapper on the counter I started laughing out loud because my husband does the exact same thing and when I wake up in the morning, I always know that he was in there having a little snack. I feel the same way it’s endearing, but then I also want to smack him and say can you not throw away the wrapper. 😂❤
You guys are absolutely amazing and you are doing such a fantastic job as husband and wife, parents and human beings. Honestly, I just love listening to your healthy communication. You guys are just the best. Much love.
Shawn, I'm still laughing about about when Andrew said his technique for having a different gender, and he said from behind. You were so funny! I could tell that you were still thinking about what he said through the whole rest of the video. Don't be embarrassed. It was so cute. Boys like to brag. Like they say Shawn, 'boys will be boys.' You two are perfect for each other. Enjoy your kids and life.
This was so fun! I was walking on the treadmill in the gym and cracking up. I looked like a weirdo! You guys are hilarious and compliment each other so well! Love to see it🥰
Excellent, as always! I lost my husband of 31 years quite suddenly nearly 8 years ago and NOTHING prepares you for that! My advice? Cherish each and everyday! ❤❤
Yall are so funny! I could watch you guys all day long! Thank you for being raw and real and open, always! Cant wait to listen to the postpartum depression podcast.... its a rough thing to deal with and come out of. It seemed to consume my life for a few years until I could admit I needed help..
I’m currently 6 months into marriage with my high school sweet heart and you guys are such amazing role models… we even started Thursday date nights! Love yall!
Andrew, I think it's called "slappin' meats" 😂 And Shawn, I'm a mother of two (now adults) and I STILL don't know what I'm doing! It's such a Mom thing. Don't be too hard on yourself. If your kids are happy and healthy and you're trying every day to do better than the day before, then that's a sign you're doing it right. 💗Anywayyyy....My hubs and I have been married 33.5 years. It's HARD. It's FUN. It's CHALLENGING. It's SILLY. It's SCARY. It's EVERYTHING wrapped up in one big ball of OH MY GOODNESS LOOK AT US GO! The bond you have now can and will grow deeper and more intimate as the years go by, but it is hard work. No doubt about it. And don't stop laughing together. A sense of humor can get you out of so many unnecessary squabbles! Blessings!!❤
Yes Shawn. I love what you said about talking about stuff with your kids and not making stuff weird. I only have boys but they are teenagers and know what happens with girls. I think they need to know. Especially if they plan to get married some day. They need to know what she's going through and how to treat her, etc. We have always been open with our boys.
I’m literally in tears listening to Shawn explain how she felt about her body postpartum. I feel this exact way and have been most of my life. Embarrassed of my body, wondering if I’m attractive enough for my husband, and if I’ll ever feel good enough. Listening to how Andrew responded is the exact thing I want to hear from my husband. Like hearing the words come from the heart like Andrew did for Shawn. I love you guys as a couple. It’s very encouraging.
My wife always felt uncomfortable with her body! When she was in school! But one of ant things I caught my eyes when I saw my wife walk in dollar store 36 years ago! Her beautiful curves! How beautiful she looked! I asked her then ! Then 1 year later we got married! I tell my wife everyday how attractive I’am to her! How beautiful she looks waking up! Coming out of the shower!
I think that would very much depend on the couple - not everyone holds marriage up as being the be all and end all. Proof of that - divorce stat's being eo high, as well as some couples choosing not to get married
@@anovemberstar Not putting God first, let alone all together exclusion .... It's no wonder divorce is so prominent. Even when allowing God to lead individually and in the marriage, it's tough to make it work. Without God, my 30 year anniversary coming in June would NOT be happening. 🙏🏽
Humility. 🙂 It's a learned thing. My husband had a terrible bicycling accident a decade ago. While I gave him privacy while he was pooping, he required my assistance in wiping in so forth. I wouldn't say we're exactly 'comfortable' pooping in front of each other, yet you learn to accept when you got to go and need help. 🙂
I have always loved the quote from Jessica Tandy & Hugh Cronin on how they stayed married so long…they said it was because they were never out of love at the same time. Marriage is a process for the long haul. Celebrating our 40th anniversary next month.
Shawn & Andrew I so, so appreciate your vulnerability to your followers. You are both wonderful, faithful, committed spouses. I admire your commitment to alwayyyys figure out the challenges in your life to remain in a good place in your relationship. That said, I truly hope you figure out that your family is complete. It's not the same for everybody, nor do you need to duplicate your own childhood. IE; Andrew coming from a family of 5 children. Your words "express" your 'cups is full.
Please do more videos like this! Sometimes it feels as though celebrities (and I do consider ya'll that!) don't go through hard times and that their marriages are always just "perfect"...so I sincerely appreciate you both sharing these vulnerable sides of your life.
You are both awesome, beautiful inside and out! I love seeing you together! The amount of love, support and respect you have for eachother is heartwarming! Thank you for sharing! xx
My husband just retired last January. Forty years of living our own routines...it's been a bit challenging for both of us. I'm helping him get his new routine up & going, so his retirement is satisfying for him. Plus we are starting " life planning " away from us, for our adult Special needs Son. One of those things we put off... Agreeing on what best for him is tough...it's been all on me for 33 years, now... I don't want to have to make all those decisions. But,...I catch myself continually trying to take back control. LOL Sometimes my sweet angel of a husband just smiles and says, let me know IF I can help. He is my best friend. 40 years...I'm old, fat, use a walker or wheelchair and he still works at me and holds my hand...he still looks at me the way he did on our wedding day. I am so blessed. You two are doing everything right! You see an issue, you look at it, you talk about it, you work it out. Love is easy, when you love your partner enough to allow them to grow with you. We are growing until the day we die. We never stop learning. It's funny..my husband doesn't care what I wear, about my hair, prefers me to wear no makeup, & says that clothes and make up do not change who you are inside.. he says he loves my spirit. I fix up a tad when we leave the house...I did learn a handful of years ago that...animal prints..😉are not his passion. It's the only time he EVER asked me to change. Haha😂 Ok..I've shared..you didn't ask for it . But I couldn't resist. 😃 I love that you guys share your lives, your struggles, your victories & best of all..Our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. You two are such good examples for young married couples, young Parents etc. Have a blessed week!
You are both so funny. I have been married mostly happily😂for 32yrs, I love my husband to death he is a good man, a fabulous dad to our 3 children and an absolutely wonderful Papa to our 6 grandchildren. Iam still learning things about marriage and some of what I have learned has come from you all. Keep up the honest, positive, kind and caring conversations. We can all learn from each other. Enjoyed this one. ❤Kris🇨🇦
I like that part about not braking wind in front of a spouse. I held back for many years, but once I was told, I smelled you when you're sleeping. That changed. LOL 😆
34:24 I have hyperhydrosis. It took me sooo long to not feel DISGUSTING constantly. I'm talking decades lol. I don't necessarily mean disgusting to other people. I mean just straight uncomfortable and humid 24/7. It did take me a long time to not be so self conscious about it as well, but the physical discomfort trumped all that for sure. It's still pretty bad, but over the years I've found ways to not keep the heat in so much. There's def still days where I'm like whyyyyyy, but I feel like I've been fairly innovative figuring out how to make it not quite as uncomfortable and nasty feeling.
Shawn, Andrew; I am so glad that you're answering intimate questions about your life experiences. While you where reading a few of the questions; The way it read sounded like someone that was new to the experience and was a little unsure of what to expect. Your answers might have eased some of their anxious thoughts. Even though some questions were asking ya'll to be a bit too personal. Thank you for over coming your anxieties and answering honestly. Keep the faith. ❤ you guys.
Strong Dad / strong Daughter! God gives the platform to dads, to build daughters understanding of the meaning of love; and self esteem. So according to His perfect plan of THE FAMILY UNIT! God holds ALL answers to LIFE! He Created it!
I was 17 & he was 19 when we got married. Had our first baby when I was 21. We had 3 kids in 3 years. The kids became the center of our world. We did NOTHING without them. We loved being a mom & dad sooo much , that we forgot how to be a husband & wife. After being married for 45 years my advice is always make time for each other WITHOUT the kids!!! After our kids left the nest, we looked at each other & had no idea who we were as a couple! At that point, he went his way & I went mine.. 😢
Andrew- I call it scheduled crying while my daughter is sleeping 😅 but yes sit in it sometimes and just cry! Let it out! And yes! Exhaustion or sleep deprivation for sure.
You are very blessed to have plenty of money for all your needs for your family. So many couples struggle to provide for their kids and it puts unbelievable stress and pressure on a marriage.
Isn't that the truth. That's a big issue with marriages in the economy today. They don't have that big stress. I think they should hire a part time housekeeper. Do things like grocery shopping, cook dinner, laundry a few times a week to give them more free time.
My sister is going to be married 50 years next month and she got married at 16 and he was 18 and they are still in love and do a lot together. But there was a lot of things to go through but they made it when everyone said they wouldn’t make it because they both came from divorced families.
See I met my wife when she was 17! I was 20! We then got married I was 23! My wife was 20! We be celebrating our 33 years anniversary of marriage next month! Been together 35 years this month
My hub and I don’t “ break wind”, go to the bathroom etc in front of each other. Before we met I was with a guy who did all those things and it caused me to find him less attractive and desirable. I started seeing him more like a brother than a romantic partner. When my husband and I began dating I told him about that relationship and he immediately determined that having a good sex life was more important than treating me like one of the guys and expecting me to still find him sexy when it’s time to get on it. We just celebrated 20 years of marriage and our sex life is still thriving. I appreciate him so much for that.
Last time I cried was just the other day. I was listening to a 90’s country music playlist and some of the songs just made me realize how thankful I am for my husband for the past 14 years ❤
I have to say! I have been following them since the very beginning, and i have never seem them more in love than now!

I wonder if Shawn and Andrew have heard of Jimmy Evans. Jimmy Evans is on You Tube and also talks about marriage issues. Shawn and Andrew are real and people like that.
Saying there is no good or bad sex with marriage is in my opinion untrue. I never knew there was good or bad until I realized good and true genuine physical sexual connection. So as someone who has had married sex with someone, I am not sexually compatible with and having married sex with someone who I am physically and sexually compatible with, I think he may have not found someone who you’re sexually compatible with because it is absolutely life-changing. You don’t know what you don’t know until you know it.
Shawn you totally know what you’re doing! You’re a very intentional and conscious mom. You’re doing awesome 🎉 and so is Andrew!!! You both are amazing parents and people. ❤
Love when you guys do these. Have watched y"all from the beginning so I like when you go back old school. Would love if you did some food tasting again. Have loved watching you grow individually and together.
What you both said about yourselves and realizing maybe you are doing something your partner doesn't like and accepting you're not perfect resonances with me. I can be so defensive also. My third just turned a year old and my husband and I have been together for 7 years and married almost 3 and I love listening to you guys and watching you grow helps me also if that makes sense
My husband's name is Brandon and I called him "B" He called me "Love" Love transitioned to Love Bug, then just Bug and "B" transitioned to Bug, so we call each other Bug to this day.
Well done for investing in your relationship, it will only help you both. My advice for the future is to continue to go to counselling when you feel you need it, as your life continues to change and you change with time too, so seeking counseling really does give you good perspective. It is not a one and done kind of thing. And if both of you are brave, go to a counselor on your own too. Love you two, thank you for sharing and helping others 😘
I’m with you Shawn! Intimacy is the most important beautiful part of a relationship! A marriage! Our intimate used to be so strong! My wife seems to be drift that intimacy away!
Shawn is talking about Andrew sneaking a reeses. Meanwhile, I just consumed an entire thing of family sized double stuffed oreos yesterday lol. I thought I bought them the night before, but when I was on the last sleeve, I had the realization it was actually that morning😬
Shawn is visibly holding her self sooo differently. In such a good way. She looks relaxed. Less ridged. Happy. Girl you are an incredible human. Inspirational. And amazing.
i think you mean less rigid? ridged would be something that has ridges on it. - like those potato chips- “ruffles have ridges”
*Rigid vs ridged. Ruffles have ridges😂😂

I am almost 50. Your intimacy truly grows just like your marriage. In 10 years it will be a different level of comfort.
I can honestly and wholeheartedly attest to this. My hub and I just reached 50 and it’s been a slow crawl through raising kids and figuring things out but the last several years have smooth and deep and beautiful. Our level of patience and understanding and respect for and with each other has matured and broadened to a place of serenity and pure joy for the other.
To be in this place makes all the rough times we endured so worth the efforts.

Please do more videos like this! Sometimes it feels as though celebrities (and I do consider ya'll that!) don't go through hard times and that their marriages are always just "perfect"...so I sincerely appreciate you both sharing these vulnerable sides of your life.
You are both awesome, beautiful inside and out! I love seeing you together! The amount of love, support and respect you have for eachother is heartwarming! Thank you for sharing! xx
My husband just retired last January. Forty years of living our own routines...it's been a bit challenging for both of us. I'm helping him get his new routine up & going, so his retirement is satisfying for him. Plus we are starting " life planning " away from us, for our adult Special needs Son. One of those things we put off... Agreeing on what best for him is tough...it's been all on me for 33 years, now... I don't want to have to make all those decisions. But,...I catch myself continually trying to take back control. LOL
Sometimes my sweet angel of a husband just smiles and says, let me know IF I can help. He is my best friend. 40 years...I'm old, fat, use a walker or wheelchair and he still works at me and holds my hand...he still looks at me the way he did on our wedding day. I am so blessed.
You two are doing everything right! You see an issue, you look at it, you talk about it, you work it out. Love is easy, when you love your partner enough to allow them to grow with you. We are growing until the day we die. We never stop learning.
It's funny..my husband doesn't care what I wear, about my hair, prefers me to wear no makeup, & says that clothes and make up do not change who you are inside.. he says he loves my spirit. I fix up a tad when we leave the house...I did learn a handful of years ago that...animal prints..😉are not his passion. It's the only time he EVER asked me to change. Haha😂
Ok..I've shared..you didn't ask for it . But I couldn't resist. 😃
I love that you guys share your lives, your struggles, your victories & best of all..Our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. You two are such good examples for young married couples, young Parents etc. Have a blessed week!
22:32 I wish they had taken a more biblical approach......
You are both so funny. I have been married mostly happily😂for 32yrs, I love my husband to death he is a good man, a fabulous dad to our 3 children and an absolutely wonderful Papa to our 6 grandchildren. Iam still learning things about marriage and some of what I have learned has come from you all. Keep up the honest, positive, kind and caring conversations. We can all learn from each other. Enjoyed this one. ❤Kris🇨🇦
Your wedding cake had
"Bro & Bug" on the top of it. Soooo cute!
Such a great vulnerable conversation! Thanks for sharing!
I like that part about not braking wind in front of a spouse. I held back for many years, but once I was told, I smelled you when you're sleeping. That changed. LOL 😆
34:24 I have hyperhydrosis. It took me sooo long to not feel DISGUSTING constantly. I'm talking decades lol. I don't necessarily mean disgusting to other people. I mean just straight uncomfortable and humid 24/7. It did take me a long time to not be so self conscious about it as well, but the physical discomfort trumped all that for sure. It's still pretty bad, but over the years I've found ways to not keep the heat in so much. There's def still days where I'm like whyyyyyy, but I feel like I've been fairly innovative figuring out how to make it not quite as uncomfortable and nasty feeling.
Definitely made it this far 🙌🏻 I enjoyed this, you both are amazing!
This is so beautiful, telling your truth!! Makes me want to do this! Thank y’all!
happily married for 32 years 4 kids that are wonderful grown adults, communication is key!
This was awesome, laugh out loud funny, and vulnerable in a beautiful way 💗 Enjoyed thoroughly.
Shawn, Andrew; I am so glad that you're answering intimate questions about your life experiences. While you where reading a few of the questions; The way it read sounded like someone that was new to the experience and was a little unsure of what to expect. Your answers might have eased some of their anxious thoughts. Even though some questions were asking ya'll to be a bit too personal. Thank you for over coming your anxieties and answering honestly. Keep the faith. ❤ you guys.
It’s called bumpin’ Uglies Andrew……you’re welcome!
Y’all, I laughed out loud too many times to count during this video 😂😂
Love the honesty and that you are great examples for young and older relationships
also, just started this episode and it is so beautiful to hear the honest talk ❤️
I am crying listening yaw talk about crying! I’m such a weirdo! 😭😂🤣😭😂🤣
Strong Dad / strong Daughter! God gives the platform to dads, to build daughters understanding of the meaning of love; and self esteem. So according to His perfect plan of THE FAMILY UNIT! God holds ALL answers to LIFE! He Created it!
I was 17 & he was 19 when we got married. Had our first baby when I was 21. We had 3 kids in 3 years. The kids became the center of our world. We did NOTHING without them. We loved being a mom & dad sooo much , that we forgot how to be a husband & wife. After being married for 45 years my advice is always make time for each other WITHOUT the kids!!! After our kids left the nest, we looked at each other & had no idea who we were as a couple! At that point, he went his way & I went mine.. 😢
You guys are just awesome! I love how honest and open you are always!
I out loud laughed when Andrew shared his bathroom arch 7ft away🤣😂🤣😂
Andrew- I call it scheduled crying while my daughter is sleeping 😅 but yes sit in it sometimes and just cry! Let it out! And yes! Exhaustion or sleep deprivation for sure.
We were still here because it was so engaging and sweet!
God bless you and keep your marriage. Shawn, you’re awesome! You too Andrew!!!
You are very blessed to have plenty of money for all your needs for your family. So many couples struggle to provide for their kids and it puts unbelievable stress and pressure on a marriage.
Isn't that the truth. That's a big issue with marriages in the economy today. They don't have that big stress. I think they should hire a part time housekeeper. Do things like grocery shopping, cook dinner, laundry a few times a week to give them more free time.
You guys have been looking very much in love lately and Shawn you are looking more beautiful then ever even though you have always been beautiful.
Shawn, you're gonna pick the fabric right off the arm of that chair 😂
You guys are great. Tell people some things are off limits.
BAHAA Bump Cheeks I'm dying
We call it bumping uglies... lmao
Great podcast!!! Laughed with you and i just love the glimpse at your relationship and life. Ty both❤❤
She is proud of who he is😭😭😭💚
My sister is going to be married 50 years next month and she got married at 16 and he was 18 and they are still in love and do a lot together. But there was a lot of things to go through but they made it when everyone said they wouldn’t make it because they both came from divorced families.
See I met my wife when she was 17! I was 20! We then got married I was 23! My wife was 20! We be celebrating our 33 years anniversary of marriage next month! Been together 35 years this month
Hit it from the back 😂😂😂
My hub and I don’t “ break wind”, go to the bathroom etc in front of each other. Before we met I was with a guy who did all those things and it caused me to find him less attractive and desirable. I started seeing him more like a brother than a romantic partner. When my husband and I began dating I told him about that relationship and he immediately determined that having a good sex life was more important than treating me like one of the guys and expecting me to still find him sexy when it’s time to get on it. We just celebrated 20 years of marriage and our sex life is still thriving. I appreciate him so much for that.
Last time I cried was just the other day. I was listening to a 90’s country music playlist and some of the songs just made me realize how thankful I am for my husband for the past 14 years ❤
I have to say! I have been following them since the very beginning, and i have never seem them more in love than now!
I wonder if Shawn and Andrew have heard of Jimmy Evans. Jimmy Evans is on You Tube and also talks about marriage issues. Shawn and Andrew are real and people like that.
I listened all the way through! So great!
Saying there is no good or bad sex with marriage is in my opinion untrue. I never knew there was good or bad until I realized good and true genuine physical sexual connection. So as someone who has had married sex with someone, I am not sexually compatible with and having married sex with someone who I am physically and sexually compatible with, I think he may have not found someone who you’re sexually compatible with because it is absolutely life-changing. You don’t know what you don’t know until you know it.
You guys a awesome , and very authentic and beautiful, God bless you both ! 🇨🇦
Shawn you totally know what you’re doing! You’re a very intentional and conscious mom. You’re doing awesome 🎉 and so is Andrew!!! You both are amazing parents and people. ❤
Love when you guys do these. Have watched y"all from the beginning so I like when you go back old school. Would love if you did some food tasting again. Have loved watching you grow individually and together.
Y’all are such a great SWEET couple!♥️
Thank you for sharing and I love Andrew’s answer about his faith. Andrew you have grown a lot as a man since the start of blogging.
Love to see you two holding hands.💖
What you both said about yourselves and realizing maybe you are doing something your partner doesn't like and accepting you're not perfect resonances with me. I can be so defensive also. My third just turned a year old and my husband and I have been together for 7 years and married almost 3 and I love listening to you guys and watching you grow helps me also if that makes sense
My husband's name is Brandon and I called him "B" He called me "Love"
Love transitioned to Love Bug, then just Bug and "B" transitioned to Bug, so we call each other Bug to this day.
Well done for investing in your relationship, it will only help you both. My advice for the future is to continue to go to counselling when you feel you need it, as your life continues to change and you change with time too, so seeking counseling really does give you good perspective. It is not a one and done kind of thing. And if both of you are brave, go to a counselor on your own too. Love you two, thank you for sharing and helping others 😘
Omg when you started talking about the first poop after having babies I was like yes I’ve been validated!
YOU GUYS ARE TOTALLY AWESOME EVEN FOR SINGLE PPL DATING
I had a c section and I honestly felt like I was having contractions trying to go the first time. I was so scared because of the same reason you said
Loved everything about this podcast! You are far wiser than me.
I’m with you Shawn! Intimacy is the most important beautiful part of a relationship! A marriage! Our intimate used to be so strong! My wife seems to be drift that intimacy away!
Shawn is talking about Andrew sneaking a reeses. Meanwhile, I just consumed an entire thing of family sized double stuffed oreos yesterday lol. I thought I bought them the night before, but when I was on the last sleeve, I had the realization it was actually that morning😬
Well I’m crying now at him saying those sweet things about not being self conscious.
