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”

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.

Right there with you!

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

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. ❤

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 ❤

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 !

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.

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.

​@@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! ❤️🙏🏻

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

Love this so much. Andrew, I think you should write a book for men. Y’all are awesome!!!

This is so relatable!!!!! I am loving this new vulnerable, authentic vibe you are going with. It feels good and genuine in my soul.

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.

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.

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!

Omg- every step of your relationship is admirable. I’ve watched it from the start and love your communication and vulnerability with each other.

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.

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. ❤

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

Keep laughing .. best therapy ever ! You are a great team Enjoy listening to each of your perspectives

You guys are just awesome! I love how honest and open you are always!

Such a great vulnerable conversation! Thanks for sharing!

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.

You guys are great. Tell people some things are off limits.

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. 😂❤

Definitely made it this far 🙌🏻 I enjoyed this, you both are amazing!

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

This episode was great! Thank you for always being open and honest with all of us! 😊

Great podcast!!! Laughed with you and i just love the glimpse at your relationship and life. Ty both❤❤

I listened all the way through! So great!

I love watching you two!!

This was awesome, laugh out loud funny, and vulnerable in a beautiful way 💗 Enjoyed thoroughly.

Okay you made me cry with question #2. Great response!!!

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.

Y’all are such a great SWEET couple!♥️

Y’all, I laughed out loud too many times to count during this video 😂😂

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 🩷💙

love you guys!!

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.

You are the best. Thank you. I laugh so much.

Someone who has been married 54 years. It takes work all the time, you give, you take, you compromise and love each other no matter what.

One of your best episode ever!!!!

there’s definitely a difference in the both of yous. it’s so sweet to see you guys so in love and kind to each other , thank u for uploading ❤

You guys a awesome , and very authentic and beautiful, God bless you both ! 🇨🇦

I am crying listening yaw talk about crying! I’m such a weirdo! 😭😂🤣😭😂🤣

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! ❤❤

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!

You guys are great!

Your wedding cake had "Bro & Bug" on the top of it. Soooo cute!

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’m with Shawn on the sex and intimacy and how marriage is the most intimacy you can only experience with a spouse.

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. 🙂

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

Loved everything about this podcast! You are far wiser than me.

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.

Loved this!

This was healing❤

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.

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.

This made me laugh… so much ❤ thank you

Fav podcast of any other podcast to watch ❤

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.

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.

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!!❤

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.

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.

Loved listening to your advice and you opening up/getting vulnerable while answering these questions. I’m listening to another podcast currently called “Dates, Mates, & Babies” by Jason & Lauren Vallotton and thought about it while listening to your video. Just thought I’d send it your way!

YOU GUYS ARE TOTALLY AWESOME EVEN FOR SINGLE PPL DATING

I really liked the info you shared by CS Lewis. I'd never heard that before but it makes sense! ✨️

Thank you.

I out loud laughed when Andrew shared his bathroom arch 7ft away🤣😂🤣😂

Well I’m crying now at him saying those sweet things about not being self conscious.

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 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

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.. 😢

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!

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. ❤

shawn you looked so uncomfortable during this one....i get it...i would too!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

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!

The peeing!! 🤣🤣🤣
