    I used to hate the half_ _ _ cleaned kitchen. I finally decided it was still some work I didn't have to do & accepted it with thank-you. Since a stroke a few years ago he loves to care for me. I truly thank him every time. He loves lots. We've been married 40 years. Just remember the love... The petty things don't matter in the long run. Hugs!!

    You are such a great woman! Your daughter are lucky to have a mother like you, the things you will teach in a childs life, your children will be natural contributors to society. You Husband is so lucky to have a wife like you as well, your not only gorgeous but your tough as hell ( Mentally, emotionally, physically ). Dont get rid of your sheep, I see it gives you purpose, and there is purpose in what you are doing with the Sheep!

    I can tell that you are both incredibly comfortable with the faults either of you may have and part of that is what I think makes your marriage so strong. Also although you both share responsibilities in parts of the farm, each of you have your own distinct domains that you manage. This helps I think and is important in a marriage, because each of you for the most part have defined roles in your lives.

    Agreeing to disagree on some of the things, is essential! It’s nice that you both get to have your own dream, but you can count on each other when you need help. I love seeing the two of you interacting with each other. I also love watching your hubby being a great dad! More Mark !More Mark! More Mark!

    As someone who owns a farm and raises beef cattle upstate New York and has a full-time job down in the city I do as much as I can on the weekends during the spring summer and fall months. I can assure you there is more than enough of work to go around maintaining fences overgrown brush downed trees extra. There's only so much you can do by yourself. Having someone around helping is essential and more than welcome

    Oh my gosh! I can so relate to this marriage phenomenon. I don't farm, but my husband and I are apart more of the time than we are together. When he comes back, it's all the paperwork and tasks I "broke" by mishandling (or failing to handle). He comes in and fixes everything. I have just learned to accept that our strengths are in completely different areas, and that we actually compliment each other. Rocky said it to Adrienne: "you've got gaps. I've got gaps. Together we fill gaps." (You have to read that in your best, deep, slow Rocky Balboa voice for maximum impact.)
    I struggle to just feel gratitude, but not inferiority. And to remember to be extra patient with the areas I excel in and he falls short. That's what the best marriages are made of, right?

      That's probably why she told him how she likes the dirty straw picked up. She was watching him do it (and she was doing all the hard part/shoveling) and he made a comment about using a pitchfork which also probably made her mad (cause it's her domain).

  • @dianneedwards2491
    @dianneedwards2491 5 років тому +1

    lol. I have control issues over my portion of my farm and my husband wanted to have control over everything. Not a good thing because it makes you feel useless which I refused to feel so it didn't work out at all. However, the farm was and is still a family farm but I just happen to own it. So, I'm good. I understand where you guys are coming from and I see why it works and that's wonderful. It takes a strong man to handle a strong woman right.

      Actually studies show farmers spend less time with there spouse than say a factory workers. You are together but always working. Someone work's an 8 hour day can at the end spend quality time with there family plus there weekend. Ask a factory worker what he did over the weekend and think what you do over the weekend

      I know she has a couple videos about feed, and they use the sheep manure on their own fields as fertilizer.
      She has several videos on sorting/shipping market lambs. One even shows an app on what prices the lambs are going for. But it doesn't show the actual selling process...

    Your still married and each doing what you do best, aggravate each other.
    When I was a kid in the 70s, 80s my family had a few tourist businesses, 2 in AZ and 1 in the west entrance to Yellowstone park, (west yellowstone). My mom managed to make it work for years. They each had their strengths and until shopping really started to change in the mid to late 90s, everything was great.
    I will tell you this, your kids, one day will want a life like you guys raised them in. Hopefully they will be lucky enough to follow in their parents footsteps. They will find out Its not as easy as you 2 make it look.

I think viewers forget that if you are editing your own videos YOU choose what sides of everyone to show. I had thought it'd be nice to show my frustrated (real) side and my subs turned on me.

    You are my hero!!! You make it look easy but I know better. I live on a farm in Nebraska, USA. It's in the middle of country.
    We grow row crops and typically have cattle.
    Good job working with husband.

    Men always think the way that they do things is the best way. Usually best to say nothing( if u can hold it) and do it urself.

    did they spread all that grass on the concrete to protect the sheep from the cold?

      We use straw as bedding. It keeps the sheep comfortable, and yes warm and nested.

    LOL, control issues! Spoken like every wife. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself that it’s getting done.

    A very wise man told me, "If you want it done right, do it yourself."
    No one is going to do it like you do. That doesn't mean their way is wrong.
