"Sounds cheesy, ...soulmate...." NEVER cheesy. We should all be so blessed and you really are! That will never be cheesy. Its wonderful that you can be so supportive and committed to making your marriage strong 😊
“Marriage is NOT a finish line“ Jeremy, I totally agree. Keep treating your spouse as a girlfriend/boyfriend and keep dating……this is very reflective and good advice! Thanks for this podcast. You made me laugh, cry and smile!
Happy Anniversary you 2 .......Melissa you're one lucky woman .....shoot he can build a house .... he is a great father....and Jeremy you found a precious gem.....she built the house along your side....gave you beautiful children....the two of you are doing what God made men and women to do together ...God bless you..
WOW! what a sweet, emotional, and beautiful conversation between a husband and wife. You are both a wonderful example of companionship. Two perfect strangers building a life and family with each other.
Melissa & Jeremy , It is an absolute pleasure to watch you both , sincerely. From the first video I watched on your main channel I saw in you both the respect , unconditional love and commitment. This video was truly encouraging and full of real life advise. Jeremy , never apologize for being emotional❤a man who shows emotion is a real true human being🎉my dad was a manly man and not at all embarrassed or shamed for crying or being emotional. That is one of thing I admired about him very much❤what a gift to you both of how much you inspire others by just sharing your life’s journey , advise and adventure,God Bless ❤
I truly enjoyed this session. I have been a widow 12 years last month. And we had a relationship much like yours, and we were married 30 years when he passed and you made me revisit our pros and cons and how we made it work. Thank you! Keep up the good work. ❤ and you’re right, you have to be friends, best friends. It’s what holds you together during the rough times. It is more than obvious how much you love each other, and what it means to both of you to be successful at your relationship.
"Let's go get the food part over with." Too funny. Seriously.....you guys are such a great example of what a marriage/relationship should be. This podcast episode alone should be required for every couple to watch. Happy Anniversary guys!
When I saw my baby hold his baby for the first time I thought my heart would explode with joy and love…… I didn’t expect the reaction I felt deep in my soul. You two are amazing and I pray we can watch your journey through this.
Jesus that’s sad. And it’s cu you’re from a generation where men were suppressed from feeling. They were taught to run from relational conflict. Bless Jeremy’s heart. My husband is samoan and he treats me with so much love and kindness like Jeremy. Gotta love those Pacific Islanders and how they treat their mamas ❤ I’m Hispanic, the men in my own culture are pretty different.
Jeremy, Melissa, the person editing these podcasts, is doing a phenomenal job. The two cameras on each one of you are superb. Zooming on the person at the precise time was done so well on this podcast.😻
Thank you both for your transparency on this podcast. Well done! I kind of get that you may be a fanily of Faith based on a couple of words you said. I'm curious what faith your family is and if you have a church that your family is part of in your area?
Happy Anniversary 🥰 my husband is a police sergeant, we compliment each other in a lot of the same ways you mentioned. A strong, protective and equally loving and caring man is a force of nature this world needs more of ❤ when women feel safe, they can settle into that gentle, nurturing role for their men and children. Some may view that as a lesser role, but for me it feels like freedom. Pray God continues to bless your family and marriage
This was touching, I lost my soulmate last December and I’m glad to see that you understand how important that other person is in your life, I am completely lost without the love of my life!
I can relate to that. My husband was 13 1/2 thousand miles away when I first saw him , in a photo. I told my mother, and his aunt, that I was going to marry him, they laughed. ( I had the last laugh). Needless to say I did and we’re still together, 52 years later, this coming December. Kudos to you both. Happy Anniversary to you both 💋❣️🥰
When Jeremy teared up and became emotional I felt like I was in the same room with you, it was so palpable! Whew. My husband passed six years ago and I am so very grateful for the relationship we settled into, much like yours. Every day I felt loved and respected. I miss him every day.
same mine of 49 years coming up on 5 years in Oct of this year. Where does time go? I miss him and the rest of my family but God moves me along every day. Always a new day with new things sometimes I know he is laughing at me for being my crazy 76 year old self, one day at a time.❤❤
I lost my sweetheart 17 months ago. We had 28 fantastic years together. Rarely perfect or without some form of struggle, but as Melissa said; our goals and ideas were aligned from the start. Each other, our kids and building a family legacy. During her struggles with health and battling to win, we were always pretty close emotionally - but during those last few months we had very tender moments like you guys shared. It is VITAL for men to express their love for their wives. Kudos to you guys for sharing
Celebrated 54 years yesterday! I tell people "Marriage is like a roller coaster. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns. Just hangon and enjoy the ride!" ❤
This podcast is so heart warming, informative, educational and y’all are changing the world one You Tube episode and one podcast at a time. Bless you both……❤
32 years next week, and yes. We go through the joys and the griefs together, trusting God through the impossible and the painful, praising Him for the blessings.❤
Please don’t apologize for being emotional! There are perfect times for just being that way! You two have been two people for us to look up to and emulate. So glad that you are doing podcasts so we can see this side of you!! Such awesomeness!!! Thanks!
You two struck gold when you found each other. How wonderful is your outlook on life, and family. You are certainly blessed just being you. A lovely, loving couple.
Happy Anniversary to you both! My husband and I met in our teens, he was 16, I was 14. We started dating after high school and married a couple of weeks after I turned 21... We are coming up for our 40th wedding anniversary and I cannot believe that each year our love for each other is deeper. He definitely is my best friend, protector, lover and amazing father to our children and wise, loving Pop to our grandchildren. We still don't have much materially but we have everything we need. I wish you both many more years of love, laughter and adventures together. Collect those moments and memories like precious gems.❤
My wife and I have been dating for over 10 years now. 8 of which have been married. We have been told people think its longer, and asked how we have a good relationship. answer is We decided to put God first in our marriage. It's made life easier. A couple who continues to date will change together. ❤️
Melissa, I just want to say hats off to you. Your such a hard working woman . The fact that you worked so hard on all your buildings working right along Jeremy working as hard as him, but you also still do the home schooling, the cooking, baking, canning. Comes down to I respect you as a strong, hard working woman , coming from another woman.
My wife likes to say she loves our animals just as much as their kids and I tell her put herself in the predicament. You're holding your child and your animal over a ledge because they both fell at the same time. But you're going to need one of those hands to lift yourself up. Who are you going to let go of? It's always going to be the patent 100% of the time so the love isn't the same because you wouldn't be able to answer if that makes sense. Great video guys! Have a great day!
I love how honest you are about divorce. Our society tries to act like it's no big deal because it is so common - but it is devastating to the children. Studies over the last 50 years have shown that the negative impact lasts their entire life. Adult children of divorce have significantly more problems in life than children from non-broken homes.
Don't ever apologise for being emotional. My husband did exactly the same at our family party when we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and it was the most heart warming and beautiful thing to see. He was just like you, Jeremy and physically could not get his words out because he was on the edge of bursting into tears. He has always told me that he loves and adores me, that he can't live without me, but to see that raw emotion was just a whole new experience. I think he even surprised himself at the depth of emotion he was feeling. Huge congratulations to you both on your anniversary.
Just the 2 of us, 4 kids, 15 grandkids, 1 great grand daughter. And 49 yrs of marriage. You hit most of the nails. Most of all we are a team. DO NOT KEEP A SCORE CARD!
Great cast! I'm 77 and my wife is almost 77, married 58 years. Love this journey together and praying we get to continue for many more years to come. Enjoyed it.
And I loved what our marriage mentor told us with regards to communication. Learning to phrase a discussion like this takes it to a new level: "When you said/did, I felt ..." This takes it to a level that helps the other person see your side without accusations. I really am loving this video - you two are so wonderful!!
Great podcast! Thanks for your honesty and for showing the unconditional love you have for each other. I never found my soulmate, but not because I wasn’t looking or didn’t try! Nor am I so into myself, as you suggest those who don’t marry are! Sometimes God has other plans and maybe marriage and having kids isn’t part of it. I certainly wanted to have a spouse and children to go through life with. I’m 69, and while my journey has been different than yours, I don’t believe it has been any less fulfilling.
Happy Anniversary! You two touched my heart. I married my college best friend at 57. He went to Heaven last yr. We were only together 7 1/2 yrs. Today when you were tearing up I felt that same love that we had. Hold on to each other, cherish each other, you were given a gift from God. I so enjoy watching your family. You love deeply each other as a family. I pray for you often. Thank you for touching my heart today.
Great!!! Loved this conversation! All couples thinking of marriage should have these conversations for at least 6-9 months before they marry!! You two were great! Thanks for making it look easy!😁😆
verbalizing the deep emotion is very hard. We tend to just say '' it's because I love her-him so much''. Trying to explain the ''I love her-him so much'' it's so on another level. I wish everybody understand what Jeremy is doing... not only man... but woman as well. Being vulnerable by verbalizing the deep emotions that make people stay together ... build together, have a family together ... is the most beautiful, powefull prayer ever express. I love you guys.
Happy Anniversary! The hubs and I just celebrated 31 years together 27 married. We also grew together, we got together when I was 18 and he was 20. I can tell you the hard times, along with the good is what shapes you. We too wouldn't change a thing. And yes, we have just started the grandparents journey, and the love is indescribable...My whole goal is to see these babies whenever possible. Also, it doesn't seem possible, but we have found we love each other more than we did when we got married, and our love seems to grow stronger and stronger each year. I feel so grateful and blessed to have had my life and family. Love your channels. Look forward to seeing your next chapters. Happy Anniversary and here's to many more to come 🍾🍷
Well, I have to say, that as much as I’ve enjoyed these podcasts, this one has been exceptional. Most couples seem uneasy about putting themselves out there for the world to see, being totally honest, in a respectful way, and this has been one of the most enjoyable times I’ve spent watching you! And I found myself re-thinking some of my ideas about marriage. After being married for 31 years, I found myself a divorced mother…both daughters were adults already but they were still affected by it. And some of the points you made had me thinking of our actions during the marriage. I hate divorce but with the reasons for my divorce, I don’t see any other outcome being possible. But I think your conversation would have me thinking about my actions if I became serious about another man. I wish you a most joyous anniversary and wish you many more years of happiness together. Hugs from Texas!
I laughed ,cried , and nodded my head through this video. This is so good. It also really mad me cry missing my Husband. He was also a Police Officer and so much like Jeremy, me so much like Melissa. I lost him to Cancer. Oh how I miss our talks, his hugs... on and on. I have to say that when my Granddaughter came along, I had plenty of love to give to her. Now I'm a Great Grandma of soon to be 2 Greats, the love just multiples! Sending my love , hugs and prayers from Kansas Krissi57
Being "equally yoked" means similar core values. YES!! I was a late bloomer and at 30 I recognized how essential it is to have common goals and core values! In 4 yrs we will celebrate 50 years! My other advice is "always tell him what you need and ask him what he needs; always say I am sorry when I do wrong; never hold grudges; and say I love you often and he does the same❤. I love the wisdom you two share with us and the love that you share with one another! Your family is a gift to us all! Thank you!😊
Honesty, and mutual respect/appreciation as well as open communication are important, and you both have exhibited that throughout your podcasts. I think your chats are worth many people viewing and learning from. Happy Anniversary! Enjoy each moment as it unfolds, and your will have many moments to cherish as you look back on your life 20 years from now.
Just saw this. Amen brother! As a retired LEO from a large Midwest agency I completely understand and empathize. I retired as a sergeant and I can reiterate that the stress in police work is a result of police administration. Everything you say is absolutely the truth.
Great conversation!!! We got a saying "You mother and father you can't choice, and the kids you have are yours, good or bad, it's a gift for above". My dad got also a saying "My kids are the best I have, good or bad, they are the only ones I have". Always remember, kids are a gift form above and I don't know anybody that don't want the best for their children. Love your chats.
Happy Anniversary, Jeremy and Melissa! You are the BEST YT off-grid family! Your love journey, strong family values and building this fantastic TH-cam channel have brought you naturally to this unique podcast! Congratulations and thank-you for being so frugal and DIY.
You are right they are not “ off-grid”. But they are sure out there on their own with a few helpful neighbors and friendly shopping and Home Depot within driving distance. I stand corrected!
You two make really good points on keeping a relationship WORKING....i really enjoy your videos here and the homestead. Keep the humor...keep smiling 😊
The best is yet to come for you guys. My wife and I met when we were 15 in jr high school. We’ve been married 43 years and together 49 years. We definitely grew and matured together as the years went by. We have 3 kids, 6 grandkids. We ran a business together for 25 years and it all went by in a flash so enjoy the journey.
Happy Anniversay. My parents were married 60 years and they were wonderful parents. Love the bond you two share with each other! Jeremy, love that you have such a wonderful outlook on being a father despite what you endured through divorce. Hopefully my son will one day do the same! Prayers to your continued love and admiration for each other!
Well said about the difference between a Child and a Pet. You two rock.❤ Grandbabies are a love that you look at and think about. This baby is the start of our beginning, it's a blessing given back to you. Great video guys.
❤❤❤❤CONGRATULATIONS ❤❤❤❤ As a married couple of 47 years, Debi and I would like to reinforce your relationship journey wholeheartedly. You are on the right track as friends with balance. Marriage is a giving of one another 100%, never a 50-50 deal. 😊
I agree that being equally yoked is the most important thing. If you aren’t equally yoked eventually the marriage will fail because you don’t fulfill each others needs and desires. You can’t become one. Happy Anniversary!🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love this conversation. Husband and I have been married 26 years now. Our first official vacation alone only happened 2 years ago while our youngest was graduated from High School. It was like an opportunity to get to know each other all over again since there were no kids with us. It was so refreshing to discover that after all these years we were still so in love with each other, not that there were ever any doubts, it was just different. Supporting each other in every possible way is so important. I got teared up in how Jeremy was expressing his feelings. Love how genuine you both are. Thanks for sharing. Cheers to you both!!! Happy 19th year of being together.....many more years to come.
WFH and listening to these two lovey ppl talk about their marriage/relationship is a piece of mind. There’s always something to learn whether we follow it or not. But I enjoy Melissa and Jeremy relationship growth as friends, partners, lovers, husband and wife and as parents. ❤️❤️🥰You are a perfect example for your kids maturing to start dating. Happy anniversary to you both, blessings and love to you and your family. Enjoy enjoy and thank you for sharing..cheers from rainy NYC🥂
At 83 and after watching your homebuilding tube, and watching Melissa with the family chores, you have a very special woman. Don't ever forget to stop and smell the roses.
Jeremy, emotional tears are always okay… even for men. Everything else is bullshit. You two are really amazing. Thanks for starting this chat and sharing all this fantastic content with us.
Wow, this was raw and real. There is nothing sexier than a couple that can share the depth of love and respect they have for one another. Congratulations and many blessings to your family!
I felt the exact same way Melissa states when my kids were younger. I could NOT imagine feeling stronger love for my g-kids, until they arrived. Jeremy is correct - it is a whole other level of love. It does not take away from your children, but my grandson's can make me cry with joy in a heartbeat. Maybe because as a G-ma, the pressure of being a parent is gone and now it is just the joy of relaxing and experiencing my g-children. I still love my children deeply and like Melissa will always love them no matter what, but the love of an adult child is really different than the love of a small child. I do love how mature both of you are in discussing topic's, very respectful and yet very independent in what you believe.
On the topic of divorce, I’m on my second marriage - very happy for over 20+ years and while it did impact my older two children it also served to show them what a healthy marriage can be (first marriage was completely toxic and now we are both remarried happily) . So while the divorce was difficult, had we stayed together the view on what marriage was would have been toxic and damaging. Now they see you can be in a solid marriage… with the right person for you… mistakes happen and sometimes a marriage IS a mistake.
Same boat here, and agree 100000%, my daughters now know what a loving stable home looks like, which was definitely not the case when I was married to their father.
OMG! Oh, how I loved this podcast! They just keep getting better and better. This was raw. It was about truth, about emotions, about healing, but most of all it was about love. Both of you are helping people to heal. First you started out just by sharing your family and your day to day activities. So many people wished they had come from a family like yours, and instead they came from a family that was broken in so many ways. But, watching your regular you tube channel that you originally started, you began healing others without even the intention of doing so. Then you came up with this new idea of a podcast and are showing what it means to be authentic human beings. This one is providing even more healing for the collective! I don't think you two realize how much healing you are bringing about in this broken world. You know what you are doing? You are co-creating with God by doing this new podcast format. I, for one am very grateful to be someone who has the privilege of watching this. I cried with Jeremy, and God knows I needed that. Thank you for helping heal our broken world! I absolutely love you two!
Jeremy's tears are heartwarming!!! It shows strength NOT weakness!!! God wants us to BE more like Him.....happiness comes and goes. May you continue to grow together for another 60 years or MORE!!! 😁❤
Happy Anniversary 🎉 you both have me in tears!! The Love, respect, and tenderness mixed in with laughter you have for one another is inspiring!! May God keep you and guide you for all your years!!
@ 22:00+ Jeremy shows us all what a real man looks like. Gives me hope my soul mate is out there even at this age. Thank you, Jeremy, for being you. Respect!!! & Love!!!
I love you guys!!! You are absolutely the most amazing people inside and out. Being married and being parents is not easy but so worth it!! Melissa, I can 1000% say that being a grandma/Nana is going to be beyond your wildest dreams. When you think that you cannot love another human more than your own kids, along comes grandkids… it is mind blowing!!!
Aside from all the many beautiful quotes, confessions and emotional moments you both are so wonderfully articulate. What a rare piece of footage. That level of respect that us men need cannot be underestimated. To have that coming from your wife and family must be a priceless gift!
The love and the wisdom you have and you express for Melissa is insurmountable Jeremy. I hope nothing every comes between you. Be one with another always!! ❤
Great to hear your journey! My husband and I are so blessed to be married with 2 kids and 2 grandbabies. Married for 28 years and 31 together. We’re 50 now and loved every moment of our journey. Your took me back on memory lane listening to you both talk. Having grandbabies is definitely a different kind of love. To hard to explain! God bless your marriage continually.
So loved this emotional and personal episode! Thanks so much for sharing so much of yourselves and your relationship. Many things resonated with my own marriage (38 years in) as well as reminders and reflections to continue to keep it strong and fresh! You both seem so remarkable and good people! Keep being you. Happy Anniversary ❤️❤️
I feel like you/Jeremy don’t ever have to apologize for showing us/your viewers…your genuine/true emotions because you seem to care/feel so deeply for Melisa/your family… one of the most beautiful topics/segments I’ve ever watched…what an Amazing relationship you 2 share…just makes me love your channel more… seeing the love/respect you have for each other…which leads into you being excellent parents…sharing the same goals/values in raising your children. Love this… other couple could learn a lot from watching this podcast. Excellent/honest podcast. Love/blessings to both of you; Happiest of anniversaries❤️🙏🏻🤗💜
Wow! This was very powerful! Thank you two for being so open and unashamed about your marriage, and love for one another. It's easy to see for me now as well, having been married to a man for nearly 15 years before he passed that God's love is SO much more powerful for each of us and it just still blows my mind! How blessed are you both to have each other. I shed a few tears just hearing Jeremy's love for you, Melissa, in his voice. Just beautiful! And I wish you both many, many, many more blessed years together! ❤
Happy Anniversary. May you live to see many, many more. Love your family to bits. If everyone had your attitude and manners what a wonderful world it would be to live in
It looks like I just join your pod casts. My (husband) Daryl and I have been watching both of you from the beginning of your new land in Idaho. We married at 21 & 23 and have been married 43 years. I love love both your attitudes. Being honest is very important in a good marriage. Appreciation is a wonderful thing for men and women. ❤ GOD makes the world go around! Love makes it GRAND❤
Great conversation, you made me reflect on my 45 years with my 2nd husband and it was quit a great trip. The most important thing is the same values and moral beliefs, everything else just works its way out.
Happy Anniversary-you both are very blessed and fortunate to have a great marriage and family. Some of us not so much. Count your blessings. Be grateful with a grateful heart.
What a wonderful talk! I love a man to talk about his wife and shes a tear. So sweet! Melissa looking over her cup as the 3rd thing Jeremy needed…. Cracking me up! ❤ this one!!🎉 Happy Anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable. This videos would be great to share to those couples preparing for marriage. My husband and I have been tested by fire from the beginning. In October we will be celebrating 24 years since we met and 22 years anniversary. Love is a choice you make every day to put your beloved first. You help and serve one another. There are highs and lows. The love grows as your family grows (if God chooses it). Many blessings to you both and was honored to listen to your consersation today.
You enjoy your grandchildren in a different way. You are not responsible for their upbringing. That doesn’t mean you don’t worry about them. It is beautiful. You two are beautiful!
Hi Jeremy and Melissa. As a man of my fifties, I have learned the hard way about emotional development. I used to avoid crying and saw it as weakness. I eventually, had to seek therapy and resolve many of my childhood trauma. Living life in orphanage, abusive adoptive parents were some of my challenges. I have since discovered the power of vulnerability. It means you are a real man to show your feelings. Cry it thru the rooftops about how great your wife is. It will only improve your relationship. Good job man to both of you! Keep it up.
Happy anniversary u 2. Jeremy made me cry watching him appreciate you melissa. He's so sweet and handsome...a keeper for sure. You 2 are so cute together. I wish I could have had half of what you guys do. I wasted 36 years of my life with the wrong man. To my shocking surprise he led a double life...I didn't even realize it until the last year and a half. You 2 have something great! Most people don't have what you do...be proud and thankful you have eachother and your beautiful children. I hope I get a second chance at love even tho I'm 62. I want a love like you 2 have. I'm so glad I found your channel. I found you when you moved to Idaho. You guys are AWESOME!!!!❤❤❤
As I am watching this, the one thing that I think we can all see in both of you is that you are both moldable. And I think that is one of the greatest things you can come to the marriage with. And I do not think that comes on the wedding day but it comes over time or as Scripture describes ith - "iron sharpens iron". My wife, Goldie, and I started off very rough and I would argue that it was mostly me, I was NOT moldable. With God's Help, though, I grew into the husband and father I am today being able and willing to change my ways to honor God and please my wife. I would completely agree that children not only make you see how God loves you but humbles you in how He loves you. I look at how I love our son and daughter, I agree, Melissa, that I could not allow myself to stop loving them no matter what they do. When I think of God loving me in this same way, it brings me to tears as I know I mess up so often.
So good...talking about how much the children are to us--I had one as a single parent, and he passed at age 40 after being in prison (20 in Virginia, 5 in Oregon) for 25 years--had melanoma, died in prison one month before his out date. And allowing one to grieve, talk about crying! Giving us the permission to grieve, and know that a part of that never goes away, others will never understand. I appreciate your attitude toward your marriage, and what you have become. I only wished that I could have had that, too. Blessings, for the journey, along with that "attitude of gratitude", and the ability to live in harmony, and share that kind of love with others! Thanks for being real!
Jeremy, my husband and I have been married for 30 years. He too shows emotional bonding with a tear or few. Thank you and Melissa for this podcast and becoming emotional. It truly helps us all to accept men have connected, compassionate and loving spirits that also require nurturing. Also, Melissa's example of opposites attract doesn't equal a relationship that works. Although, equally yoked doesn't mean that you have to be the same personality. It means a mutual value of morals. That's how I understand accountability for one's own happiness isn't another's responsibility. Thank you both. I will be sharing this podcast ❣️❣️
22 minutes in is why alot of your viewers LOVE both of you....soul mates, ying to the others yang, your other/better half....you make each other complete.
Melissa you are so lucky to have a man that deeply loves you🥰You don’t need to apologize Jeremy, I find it an endearing attribute to be so honest and real.What a beautiful, secure relationship you guys have and you are great role models for your children to strive for relationships that are similar to yours.Thanks for another great podcast! Have a great day 🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼
You, possibly, have no idea how important and meaningful this episode was/is. It resonated so strongly with me. I'm only 11 minutes into the segment. Of course I'm going to finish it...
I have been with my partner for 25 years I agree with you 100 percent I still like my wife our son is a good man with 5 kids of his own works hard and provides a good home and life for his family I am very proud of him. Knowing that we always made a path without the thought of ever getting out not an option. Love my family and female taking her role an loving it and my masculine role and taking it seriously with love and compassion.
I so wanted to be married forever to my husband. I put up with abuse, verbally, mentally, and physically until a police officer told me that I was abusing my children by allowing them to be around all this abuse. I then found out he had numerous affairs. So yes divorce happened and I never married again as I felt I was not deserving of a partner or love. My daughters have all found wonderful husbands 🙏🏻 and let me tell you, watching your children bring children into the world is so amazing ❤ I love my daughters more than anything but their children I love as much! You will understand once you have grandchildren 🥰 You are all blessed and you’re blessed because you are amazing people and do so much for others. Thank you for sharing
Wow! To open yourself s up to the viewers.what a great pod cast. I think it’s given all of us,a moment to pause and reflect on our own relationships. THANK YOU BOTH.❤️
We enjoyed listening to your video , lots of great advice to anyone contemplating marriage . My husband and I have been married now for 63 years ( in April 2024 ) . We share everything together . We serve God together , He has brought us through some tough times over the years . May God be your strength always .HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Jeremy never apologize for getting emotional. The emotion you showed us was for the love of your wife & children. That is truly beautiful.
Jermey trying to talk and not cry about Melissa being his refuge had me crying right along with him. So genuinely sweet
♥️
I was too!
Me to
"Sounds cheesy, ...soulmate...."
NEVER cheesy. We should all be so blessed and you really are! That will never be cheesy. Its wonderful that you can be so supportive and committed to making your marriage strong 😊
me too....at work trying to hide it....
“Marriage is NOT a finish line“ Jeremy, I totally agree. Keep treating your spouse as a girlfriend/boyfriend and keep dating……this is very reflective and good advice! Thanks for this podcast. You made me laugh, cry and smile!
Love that!
Happy Anniversary you 2 .......Melissa you're one lucky woman .....shoot he can build a house .... he is a great father....and Jeremy you found a precious gem.....she built the house along your side....gave you beautiful children....the two of you are doing what God made men and women to do together ...God bless you..
Thank you so much 💓 God is good
WOW! what a sweet, emotional, and beautiful conversation between a husband and wife. You are both a wonderful example of companionship. Two perfect strangers building a life and family with each other.

Marriage counselors should show their Clients this podcast as a helpfull tool 👨👩👦❤
Awww thank you
I am a trauma and marriage & family therapist and am sending this link to many of my couples. :)
Strange that Christians do not know what equality yoked means.
Melissa & Jeremy , It is an absolute pleasure to watch you both , sincerely. From the first video I watched on your main channel I saw in you both the respect , unconditional love and commitment. This video was truly encouraging and full of real life advise. Jeremy , never apologize for being emotional❤a man who shows emotion is a real true human being🎉my dad was a manly man and not at all embarrassed or shamed for crying or being emotional. That is one of thing I admired about him very much❤what a gift to you both of how much you inspire others by just sharing your life’s journey , advise and adventure,God Bless ❤
I truly enjoyed this session. I have been a widow 12 years last month. And we had a relationship much like yours, and we were married 30 years when he passed and you made me revisit our pros and cons and how we made it work. Thank you! Keep up the good work. ❤ and you’re right, you have to be friends, best friends. It’s what holds you together during the rough times. It is more than obvious how much you love each other, and what it means to both of you to be successful at your relationship.
"Let's go get the food part over with." Too funny. Seriously.....you guys are such a great example of what a marriage/relationship should be. This podcast episode alone should be required for every couple to watch. Happy Anniversary guys!
Aww thank you ❤️
Happy Anniversary!@@NewWorldOldSoulPodcast
When I saw my baby hold his baby for the first time I thought my heart would explode with joy and love…… I didn’t expect the reaction I felt deep in my soul. You two are amazing and I pray we can watch your journey through this.
❤️
You are so right, I had the same reaction watching my only child holding his only child at birth.
You thought having your own children was exciting. Wait for the grandkids! That's gonna rock your world.
What a wonderful conversation. Was married for 25 years and never had as intimate a talk with my spouse. Everyone who has a partner should watch this!
Jesus that’s sad. And it’s cu you’re from a generation where men were suppressed from feeling. They were taught to run from relational conflict. Bless Jeremy’s heart. My husband is samoan and he treats me with so much love and kindness like Jeremy. Gotta love those Pacific Islanders and how they treat their mamas ❤ I’m Hispanic, the men in my own culture are pretty different.
Jeremy, Melissa, the person editing these podcasts, is doing a phenomenal job. The two cameras on each one of you are superb. Zooming on the person at the precise time was done so well on this podcast.😻
Jeremy does the podcast ❤️
@@NewWorldOldSoulPodcast KUDOS to Jeremy👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Please tell the details of the electronic components of your excellent podcast?
@@NewWorldOldSoulPodcastI second Bobfox 321s request
Thank you both for your transparency on this podcast. Well done! I kind of get that you may be a fanily of Faith based on a couple of words you said. I'm curious what faith your family is and if you have a church that your family is part of in your area?
Happy Anniversary 🥰 my husband is a police sergeant, we compliment each other in a lot of the same ways you mentioned. A strong, protective and equally loving and caring man is a force of nature this world needs more of ❤ when women feel safe, they can settle into that gentle, nurturing role for their men and children. Some may view that as a lesser role, but for me it feels like freedom. Pray God continues to bless your family and marriage
Love that!
No need to apologize for something that you feel so passionate about… ♥️♥️♥️
This brought tears to my eyes. The love between you two is absolutely beautiful!
This was touching, I lost my soulmate last December and I’m glad to see that you understand how important that other person is in your life, I am completely lost without the love of my life!
I can relate to that. My husband was 13 1/2 thousand miles away when I first saw him , in a photo. I told my mother, and his aunt, that I was going to marry him, they laughed. ( I had the last laugh). Needless to say I did and we’re still together, 52 years later, this coming December. Kudos to you both. Happy Anniversary to you both 💋❣️🥰
Beautiful 😍
When Jeremy teared up and became emotional I felt like I was in the same room with you, it was so palpable! Whew. My husband passed six years ago and I am so very grateful for the relationship we settled into, much like yours. Every day I felt loved and respected. I miss him every day.
❤️
same mine of 49 years coming up on 5 years in Oct of this year. Where does time go? I miss him and the rest of my family but God moves me along every day. Always a new day with new things sometimes I know he is laughing at me for being my crazy 76 year old self, one day at a time.❤❤
I lost my sweetheart 17 months ago. We had 28 fantastic years together. Rarely perfect or without some form of struggle, but as Melissa said; our goals and ideas were aligned from the start. Each other, our kids and building a family legacy. During her struggles with health and battling to win, we were always pretty close emotionally - but during those last few months we had very tender moments like you guys shared. It is VITAL for men to express their love for their wives. Kudos to you guys for sharing
❤️
God has a great sense of humor thinking you were done having children! Love you all. Happy Anniversary! Celebrating 45!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MANY MORE ,seen 48 years of my life. My parents were married 52 years, and both went home to our Lord 5 months 5 days apart , 🎉🙏🙏🙏
❤️
@GSLUNCUT do mean that you both are a joy to watch ,all you doing as a family, something I no longer have
Celebrated 54 years yesterday! I tell people "Marriage is like a roller coaster. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns. Just hangon and enjoy the ride!" ❤
This podcast is so heart warming, informative, educational and y’all are changing the world one You Tube episode and one podcast at a time. Bless you both……❤
Glad you enjoy it! ❤️
32 years next week, and yes. We go through the joys and the griefs together, trusting God through the impossible and the painful, praising Him for the blessings.❤
Please don’t apologize for being emotional! There are perfect times for just being that way! You two have been two people for us to look up to and emulate. So glad that you are doing podcasts so we can see this side of you!! Such awesomeness!!! Thanks!
You two struck gold when you found each other. How wonderful is your outlook on life, and family. You are certainly blessed just being you. A lovely, loving couple.
Happy Anniversary to you both! My husband and I met in our teens, he was 16, I was 14. We started dating after high school and married a couple of weeks after I turned 21... We are coming up for our 40th wedding anniversary and I cannot believe that each year our love for each other is deeper. He definitely is my best friend, protector, lover and amazing father to our children and wise, loving Pop to our grandchildren. We still don't have much materially but we have everything we need. I wish you both many more years of love, laughter and adventures together. Collect those moments and memories like precious gems.❤
Amazing ❤️
Amazing! I have never even seen a marriage like that. You are blessed.
My wife and I have been dating for over 10 years now. 8 of which have been married. We have been told people think its longer, and asked how we have a good relationship. answer is We decided to put God first in our marriage. It's made life easier. A couple who continues to date will change together. ❤️
Melissa, I just want to say hats off to you. Your such a hard working woman . The fact that you worked so hard on all your buildings working right along Jeremy working as hard as him, but you also still do the home schooling, the cooking, baking, canning.
Comes down to I respect you as a strong, hard working woman , coming from another woman.
Wow, thank you so much 💓
My wife likes to say she loves our animals just as much as their kids and I tell her put herself in the predicament. You're holding your child and your animal over a ledge because they both fell at the same time. But you're going to need one of those hands to lift yourself up. Who are you going to let go of? It's always going to be the patent 100% of the time so the love isn't the same because you wouldn't be able to answer if that makes sense. Great video guys! Have a great day!
I love how honest you are about divorce. Our society tries to act like it's no big deal because it is so common - but it is devastating to the children. Studies over the last 50 years have shown that the negative impact lasts their entire life. Adult children of divorce have significantly more problems in life than children from non-broken homes.
Don't ever apologise for being emotional. My husband did exactly the same at our family party when we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and it was the most heart warming and beautiful thing to see. He was just like you, Jeremy and physically could not get his words out because he was on the edge of bursting into tears. He has always told me that he loves and adores me, that he can't live without me, but to see that raw emotion was just a whole new experience. I think he even surprised himself at the depth of emotion he was feeling. Huge congratulations to you both on your anniversary.
❤️
Just the 2 of us, 4 kids, 15 grandkids, 1 great grand daughter. And 49 yrs of marriage. You hit most of the nails. Most of all we are a team. DO NOT KEEP A SCORE CARD!
Great cast! I'm 77 and my wife is almost 77, married 58 years. Love this journey together and praying we get to continue for many more years to come. Enjoyed it.
Beautiful
And I loved what our marriage mentor told us with regards to communication. Learning to phrase a discussion like this takes it to a new level: "When you said/did, I felt ..." This takes it to a level that helps the other person see your side without accusations. I really am loving this video - you two are so wonderful!!
❤️
💖💖
Simply awesome guys. As a father of six now young adults. You've both hit this out of the park. Continued blessings to you all.
Great podcast! Thanks for your honesty and for showing the unconditional love you have for each other. I never found my soulmate, but not because I wasn’t looking or didn’t try! Nor am I so into myself, as you suggest those who don’t marry are! Sometimes God has other plans and maybe marriage and having kids isn’t part of it. I certainly wanted to have a spouse and children to go through life with. I’m 69, and while my journey has been different than yours, I don’t believe it has been any less fulfilling.
Happy Anniversary! You two touched my heart. I married my college best friend at 57. He went to Heaven last yr. We were only together 7 1/2 yrs. Today when you were tearing up I felt that same love that we had. Hold on to each other, cherish each other, you were given a gift from God. I so enjoy watching your family. You love deeply each other as a family. I pray for you often. Thank you for touching my heart today.
❤️ I'm so sorry you lost your love
Great!!! Loved this conversation! All couples thinking of marriage should have these conversations for at least 6-9 months before they marry!! You two were great! Thanks for making it look easy!😁😆
verbalizing the deep emotion is very hard. We tend to just say '' it's because I love her-him so much''. Trying to explain the ''I love her-him so much'' it's so on another level. I wish everybody understand what Jeremy is doing... not only man... but woman as well. Being vulnerable by verbalizing the deep emotions that make people stay together ... build together, have a family together ... is the most beautiful, powefull prayer ever express. I love you guys.
Happy Anniversary! The hubs and I just celebrated 31 years together 27 married. We also grew together, we got together when I was 18 and he was 20. I can tell you the hard times, along with the good is what shapes you. We too wouldn't change a thing. And yes, we have just started the grandparents journey, and the love is indescribable...My whole goal is to see these babies whenever possible. Also, it doesn't seem possible, but we have found we love each other more than we did when we got married, and our love seems to grow stronger and stronger each year. I feel so grateful and blessed to have had my life and family. Love your channels. Look forward to seeing your next chapters. Happy Anniversary and here's to many more to come 🍾🍷
Well, I have to say, that as much as I’ve enjoyed these podcasts, this one has been exceptional. Most couples seem uneasy about putting themselves out there for the world to see, being totally honest, in a respectful way, and this has been one of the most enjoyable times I’ve spent watching you! And I found myself re-thinking some of my ideas about marriage. After being married for 31 years, I found myself a divorced mother…both daughters were adults already but they were still affected by it. And some of the points you made had me thinking of our actions during the marriage. I hate divorce but with the reasons for my divorce, I don’t see any other outcome being possible. But I think your conversation would have me thinking about my actions if I became serious about another man. I wish you a most joyous anniversary and wish you many more years of happiness together. Hugs from Texas!
❤️
I laughed ,cried , and nodded my head through this video. This is so good. It also really mad me cry missing my Husband. He was also a Police Officer and so much like Jeremy, me so much like Melissa. I lost him to Cancer. Oh how I miss our talks, his hugs... on and on. I have to say that when my Granddaughter came along, I had plenty of love to give to her. Now I'm a Great Grandma of soon to be 2 Greats, the love just multiples! Sending my love , hugs and prayers from Kansas Krissi57
❤️
Being "equally yoked" means similar core values. YES!! I was a late bloomer and at 30 I recognized how essential it is to have common goals and core values! In 4 yrs we will celebrate 50
years! My other advice is "always tell him what you need and ask him what he needs; always say I am sorry when I do wrong; never hold grudges; and say I love you often and he does the same❤.
I love the wisdom you two share with us and the love that you share with one another! Your family is a gift to us all! Thank you!😊
Honesty, and mutual respect/appreciation as well as open communication are important, and you both have exhibited that throughout your podcasts. I think your chats are worth many people viewing and learning from. Happy Anniversary! Enjoy each moment as it unfolds, and your will have many moments to cherish as you look back on your life 20 years from now.
Just saw this. Amen brother! As a retired LEO from a large Midwest agency I completely understand and empathize. I retired as a sergeant and I can reiterate that the stress in police work is a result of police administration. Everything you say is absolutely the truth.
Great conversation!!! We got a saying "You mother and father you can't choice, and the kids you have are yours, good or bad, it's a gift for above". My dad got also a saying "My kids are the best I have, good or bad, they are the only ones I have". Always remember, kids are a gift form above and I don't know anybody that don't want the best for their children. Love your chats.
Happy Anniversary, Jeremy and Melissa! You are the BEST YT off-grid family! Your love journey, strong family values and building this fantastic TH-cam channel have brought you naturally to this unique podcast! Congratulations and thank-you for being so frugal and DIY.
Wow Jeremy, at 22:30 you chocked me up! You two are truly BLESSED and genuine! Thank-you for joining us in love and admiration?!
You are right they are not “ off-grid”. But they are sure out there on their own with a few helpful neighbors and friendly shopping and Home Depot within driving distance. I stand corrected!
You two make really good points on keeping a relationship WORKING....i really enjoy your videos here and the homestead. Keep the humor...keep smiling 😊
Thank you! Will do!
The best is yet to come for you guys. My wife and I met when we were 15 in jr high school. We’ve been married 43 years and together 49 years. We definitely grew and matured together as the years went by. We have 3 kids, 6 grandkids. We ran a business together for 25 years and it all went by in a flash so enjoy the journey.
Happy Anniversay. My parents were married 60 years and they were wonderful parents. Love the bond you two share with each other! Jeremy, love that you have such a wonderful outlook on being a father despite what you endured through divorce. Hopefully my son will one day do the same! Prayers to your continued love and admiration for each other!
Awww you guys ❤ Jeremy, never apologize for getting emotional. That’s a man right there.
Well said about the difference between a Child and a Pet. You two rock.❤ Grandbabies are a love that you look at and think about. This baby is the start of our beginning, it's a blessing given back to you. Great video guys.
❤❤❤❤CONGRATULATIONS ❤❤❤❤ As a married couple of 47 years, Debi and I would like to reinforce your relationship journey wholeheartedly. You are on the right track as friends with balance. Marriage is a giving of one another 100%, never a 50-50 deal. 😊
Mutual humility and respect is beautifully evident between the two of you❤️
I agree that being equally yoked is the most important thing. If you aren’t equally yoked eventually the marriage will fail because you don’t fulfill each others needs and desires. You can’t become one.
Happy Anniversary!🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love this conversation. Husband and I have been married 26 years now. Our first official vacation alone only happened 2 years ago while our youngest was graduated from High School. It was like an opportunity to get to know each other all over again since there were no kids with us. It was so refreshing to discover that after all these years we were still so in love with each other, not that there were ever any doubts, it was just different. Supporting each other in every possible way is so important. I got teared up in how Jeremy was expressing his feelings. Love how genuine you both are. Thanks for sharing. Cheers to you both!!! Happy 19th year of being together.....many more years to come.
Awwwww!! Good to see you 2 sharing this moment!!
Happy days!!
🎉🎉Happy Anniversary 🎉🎉
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
Thank you so much 😁

U R QUITE WELCOME!!!
🤙🦊🧙♂️🐺👍
WFH and listening to these two lovey ppl talk about their marriage/relationship is a piece of mind. There’s always something to learn whether we follow it or not. But I enjoy Melissa and Jeremy relationship growth as friends, partners, lovers, husband and wife and as parents. ❤️❤️🥰You are a perfect example for your kids maturing to start dating. Happy anniversary to you both, blessings and love to you and your family. Enjoy enjoy and thank you for sharing..cheers from rainy NYC🥂
Thank you so much 💓
Love Melissa’s observation at 37:20. “Respect, Food and Sex”. Very simplistic and correct!
At 83 and after watching your homebuilding tube, and watching Melissa with the family chores, you have a very special woman. Don't ever forget to stop and smell the roses.
Jeremy, emotional tears are always okay… even for men. Everything else is bullshit. You two are really amazing. Thanks for starting this chat and sharing all this fantastic content with us.
Wow, this was raw and real. There is nothing sexier than a couple that can share the depth of love and respect they have for one another. Congratulations and many blessings to your family!
I felt the exact same way Melissa states when my kids were younger. I could NOT imagine feeling stronger love for my g-kids, until they arrived. Jeremy is correct - it is a whole other level of love. It does not take away from your children, but my grandson's can make me cry with joy in a heartbeat. Maybe because as a G-ma, the pressure of being a parent is gone and now it is just the joy of relaxing and experiencing my g-children. I still love my children deeply and like Melissa will always love them no matter what, but the love of an adult child is really different than the love of a small child. I do love how mature both of you are in discussing topic's, very respectful and yet very independent in what you believe.
On the topic of divorce, I’m on my second marriage - very happy for over 20+ years and while it did impact my older two children it also served to show them what a healthy marriage can be (first marriage was completely toxic and now we are both remarried happily) . So while the divorce was difficult, had we stayed together the view on what marriage was would have been toxic and damaging. Now they see you can be in a solid marriage… with the right person for you… mistakes happen and sometimes a marriage IS a mistake.
Same boat here, and agree 100000%, my daughters now know what a loving stable home looks like, which was definitely not the case when I was married to their father.
OMG! Oh, how I loved this podcast! They just keep getting better and better. This was raw. It was about truth, about emotions, about healing, but most of all it was about love. Both of you are helping people to heal. First you started out just by sharing your family and your day to day activities. So many people wished they had come from a family like yours, and instead they came from a family that was broken in so many ways. But, watching your regular you tube channel that you originally started, you began healing others without even the intention of doing so. Then you came up with this new idea of a podcast and are showing what it means to be authentic human beings. This one is providing even more healing for the collective! I don't think you two realize how much healing you are bringing about in this broken world.
You know what you are doing? You are co-creating with God by doing this new podcast format. I, for one am very grateful to be someone who has the privilege of watching this. I cried with Jeremy, and God knows I needed that. Thank you for helping heal our broken world! I absolutely love you two!
Jeremy's tears are heartwarming!!! It shows strength NOT weakness!!! God wants us to BE more like Him.....happiness comes and goes. May you continue to grow together for another 60 years or MORE!!! 😁❤
Happy Anniversary 🎉 you both have me in tears!! The Love, respect, and tenderness mixed in with laughter you have for one another is inspiring!! May God keep you and guide you for all your years!!
Thank you so much!!
@ 22:00+ Jeremy shows us all what a real man looks like. Gives me hope my soul mate is out there even at this age. Thank you, Jeremy, for being you. Respect!!! & Love!!!
I love you guys!!! You are absolutely the most amazing people inside and out. Being married and being parents is not easy but so worth it!! Melissa, I can 1000% say that being a grandma/Nana is going to be beyond your wildest dreams. When you think that you cannot love another human more than your own kids, along comes grandkids… it is mind blowing!!!
Aside from all the many beautiful quotes, confessions and emotional moments you both are so wonderfully articulate. What a rare piece of footage. That level of respect that us men need cannot be underestimated. To have that coming from your wife and family must be a priceless gift!
That was a wonderful pod cast..Loved it…wishing you two a long and healthy marriage..😊❤️🇨🇦
This is such a gift to your children, now and yourselves later in life.
Thanks for sharing!
The love and the wisdom you have and you express for Melissa is insurmountable Jeremy. I hope nothing every comes between you. Be one with another always!! ❤
Great to hear your journey! My husband and I are so blessed to be married with 2 kids and 2 grandbabies. Married for 28 years and 31 together. We’re 50 now and loved every moment of our journey. Your took me back on memory lane listening to you both talk. Having grandbabies is definitely a different kind of love. To hard to explain! God bless your marriage continually.
So loved this emotional and personal episode! Thanks so much for sharing so much of yourselves and your relationship. Many things resonated with my own marriage (38 years in) as well as reminders and reflections to continue to keep it strong and fresh! You both seem so remarkable and good people! Keep being you. Happy Anniversary ❤️❤️
I feel like you/Jeremy don’t ever have to apologize for showing us/your viewers…your genuine/true emotions because you seem to care/feel so deeply for Melisa/your family… one of the most beautiful topics/segments I’ve ever watched…what an Amazing relationship you 2 share…just makes me love your channel more… seeing the love/respect you have for each other…which leads into you being excellent parents…sharing the same goals/values in raising your children. Love this… other couple could learn a lot from watching this podcast. Excellent/honest podcast. Love/blessings to both of you; Happiest of anniversaries❤️🙏🏻🤗💜
Wow! This was very powerful! Thank you two for being so open and unashamed about your marriage, and love for one another. It's easy to see for me now as well, having been married to a man for nearly 15 years before he passed that God's love is SO much more powerful for each of us and it just still blows my mind! How blessed are you both to have each other. I shed a few tears just hearing Jeremy's love for you, Melissa, in his voice. Just beautiful! And I wish you both many, many, many more blessed years together! ❤
The one true thing about being married is communicating with one another! You two are doing a great job and sharing it with others!
Happy Anniversary. May you live to see many, many more. Love your family to bits. If everyone had your attitude and manners what a wonderful world it would be to live in
You're so kind ❤️
It looks like I just join your pod casts. My (husband) Daryl and I have been watching both of you from the beginning of your new land in Idaho. We married at 21 & 23 and have been married 43 years. I love love both your attitudes. Being honest is very important in a good marriage. Appreciation is a wonderful thing for men and women. ❤ GOD makes the world go around! Love makes it GRAND❤
Happy Anniversary To you & thank you again for being the people & family you are.... & Becoming
Thank you so much!!
Great conversation, you made me reflect on my 45 years with my 2nd husband and it was quit a great trip. The most important thing is the same values and moral beliefs, everything else just works its way out.
Happy Anniversary-you both are very blessed and fortunate to have a great marriage and family. Some of us not so much. Count your blessings. Be grateful with a grateful heart.
What a wonderful talk! I love a man to talk about his wife and shes a tear. So sweet! Melissa looking over her cup as the 3rd thing Jeremy needed…. Cracking me up! ❤ this one!!🎉 Happy Anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable. This videos would be great to share to those couples preparing for marriage. My husband and I have been tested by fire from the beginning. In October we will be celebrating 24 years since we met and 22 years anniversary. Love is a choice you make every day to put your beloved first. You help and serve one another. There are highs and lows. The love grows as your family grows (if God chooses it). Many blessings to you both and was honored to listen to your consersation today.
You enjoy your grandchildren in a different way. You are not responsible for their upbringing. That doesn’t mean you don’t worry about them. It is beautiful. You two are beautiful!
You guys are so blessed to have yourselves. You have what so many look for in a relationship. Thank you for your channel.
Hi Jeremy and Melissa. As a man of my fifties, I have learned the hard way about emotional development. I used to avoid crying and saw it as weakness. I eventually, had to seek therapy and resolve many of my childhood trauma. Living life in orphanage, abusive adoptive parents were some of my challenges. I have since discovered the power of vulnerability. It means you are a real man to show your feelings. Cry it thru the rooftops about how great your wife is. It will only improve your relationship. Good job man to both of you! Keep it up.
Happy anniversary u 2. Jeremy made me cry watching him appreciate you melissa. He's so sweet and handsome...a keeper for sure. You 2 are so cute together. I wish I could have had half of what you guys do. I wasted 36 years of my life with the wrong man. To my shocking surprise he led a double life...I didn't even realize it until the last year and a half. You 2 have something great! Most people don't have what you do...be proud and thankful you have eachother and your beautiful children. I hope I get a second chance at love even tho I'm 62. I want a love like you 2 have. I'm so glad I found your channel. I found you when you moved to Idaho.
You guys are AWESOME!!!!❤❤❤
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope love finds you again 💓
Your property and homes, barns are beautifully. So much hard work.
As I am watching this, the one thing that I think we can all see in both of you is that you are both moldable. And I think that is one of the greatest things you can come to the marriage with. And I do not think that comes on the wedding day but it comes over time or as Scripture describes ith - "iron sharpens iron". My wife, Goldie, and I started off very rough and I would argue that it was mostly me, I was NOT moldable. With God's Help, though, I grew into the husband and father I am today being able and willing to change my ways to honor God and please my wife. I would completely agree that children not only make you see how God loves you but humbles you in how He loves you. I look at how I love our son and daughter, I agree, Melissa, that I could not allow myself to stop loving them no matter what they do. When I think of God loving me in this same way, it brings me to tears as I know I mess up so often.
Yes!! Amen ❤️
I totally agree mrphoto you are spot on!
So good...talking about how much the children are to us--I had one as a single parent, and he passed at age 40 after being in prison (20 in Virginia, 5 in Oregon) for 25 years--had melanoma, died in prison one month before his out date. And allowing one to grieve, talk about crying! Giving us the permission to grieve, and know that a part of that never goes away, others will never understand. I appreciate your attitude toward your marriage, and what you have become. I only wished that I could have had that, too. Blessings, for the journey, along with that "attitude of gratitude", and the ability to live in harmony, and share that kind of love with others! Thanks for being real!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. I love ❤️ u guys,you always make me smile.
Thank you so much 💓
Sir! Don’t apologize for showing your emotions! Especially when you talk about the love to your wife! Thank you for being a Mensch!
I appreciate that
Jeremy, my husband and I have been married for 30 years. He too shows emotional bonding with a tear or few. Thank you and Melissa for this podcast and becoming emotional. It truly helps us all to accept men have connected, compassionate and loving spirits that also require nurturing. Also, Melissa's example of opposites attract doesn't equal a relationship that works. Although, equally yoked doesn't mean that you have to be the same personality. It means a mutual value of morals. That's how I understand accountability for one's own happiness isn't another's responsibility. Thank you both. I will be sharing this podcast ❣️❣️
22 minutes in is why alot of your viewers LOVE both of you....soul mates, ying to the others yang, your other/better half....you make each other complete.
Melissa you are so lucky to have a man that deeply loves you🥰You don’t need to apologize Jeremy, I find it an endearing attribute to be so honest and real.What a beautiful, secure relationship you guys have and you are great role models for your children to strive for relationships that are similar to yours.Thanks for another great podcast! Have a great day 🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼
You, possibly, have no idea how important and meaningful this episode was/is. It resonated so strongly with me. I'm only 11 minutes into the segment. Of course I'm going to finish it...
I have been with my partner for 25 years I agree with you 100 percent I still like my wife our son is a good man with 5 kids of his own works hard and provides a good home and life for his family I am very proud of him. Knowing that we always made a path without the thought of ever getting out not an option. Love my family and female taking her role an loving it and my masculine role and taking it seriously with love and compassion.
I so wanted to be married forever to my husband. I put up with abuse, verbally, mentally, and physically until a police officer told me that I was abusing my children by allowing them to be around all this abuse. I then found out he had numerous affairs. So yes divorce happened and I never married again as I felt I was not deserving of a partner or love. My daughters have all found wonderful husbands 🙏🏻 and let me tell you, watching your children bring children into the world is so amazing ❤ I love my daughters more than anything but their children I love as much! You will understand once you have grandchildren 🥰 You are all blessed and you’re blessed because you are amazing people and do so much for others. Thank you for sharing
Wow! To open yourself s up to the viewers.what a great pod cast. I think it’s given all of us,a moment to pause and reflect on our own relationships. THANK YOU BOTH.❤️
❤️
