It is my humble opinion that you both have experienced more in your 22 years of life than many people that are twice your age. You’ve completed your college education, traveled the world, competed in sports on an international level, maintained a loving long distance relationship for 5 years, experienced the highs and lows of life supporting each other, brought your families together, and shared your collective love with others. Yah….I’d say your ready. God bless you both and your impending nuptials!
You took the words right out of my mouth. The level of commitment, love, strength, and respect they have for each other is what others aspire to try and have.
Very Well Said!!! Including beoming home owners, managing finances and property investments. Its the Genuine Love and Mutual Respect, and the Maturity Level for me. Heck i got married at the age of 40 and I still wasn't ready!!!
Age doesn’t necessarily make you ready for marriage. It’s love and commitment that makes you ready to put in the work to have a strong and successful marriage
I got married at 19 and my husband was 21, we are now 30 and 32 and I wouldn't have it any other way. We've accomplished so much together and growing together has been beautiful. Do what is right for you 😁
Age is not everything. I was 20 and here we are 35 years later♥️ You have had 4 years of having to learn to communicate long distance and that is huge and as Tara said you have both finished school, have a home and are financially stable and smart with your money. Can't say that for a lot of 22 year Olds though. You two got this😘
First of y’all, only listen to each other. These people out here will hate at every opportunity. Y’all love each other with huge hearts and have weathered the storms of living apart and each time came back stronger together. There are a lot of unhappy folks out there who don’t want to live right. You have already lasted longer and have more substance than couples who have been together for decades. I love you guys, just keep being you. You know each other well so don’t listen to people on the internet who have nothing to do with your real lives and your married life. Letting in the haters causes doubt and trust to find a home. JUST DO Y’ALL cuz peeps out here be acting like y’all owe them something. You don’t. I’m rooting for you two!!!
Based on what I've seen in your videos, your relationship is built on a solid friendship, and my opinion is, there's no greater pleasure than marrying your best friend. You will always work on communication. You already have a strong foundation, and you know what want, so continue to grow together, and don't allow the expectations, and experiences of others to dictate your journey together. Love always wins!!!
You will be working on communication your entire life (next month we will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and we are still working on it). I think the fact that you all have battled the long distance thing gives y’all a leg up. It’s not like y’all met 2 months ago and now are getting hitched. You all have known each other for a long time You all have discussed finances and what’s important (including good credit and making that paper). You’ve tackled being compatible in other ways. Y’all have your stuff together more than most 30 year olds (and I don’t say that lightly). Major props coming from me 👍🏿 Great video
Tara,can you live without Hunter?Hunter can you live without Tara?Marriage has it's ups and downs. One of the keys to a good marriage is to keep the lines of communication open.
Maturity comes from experience for sure and the environment you've found yourself in. You guys for sure are more mature than most 22 year olds by spades! Also the fact that your relationship isn't like a lot of people's. The distance you two had as well as the careers you've chosen, that takes maturity and also commitment. What you guys have is truly special, anyone who disagrees just hasn't experienced it for themselves
You guys have purchased “homes.” You guys have split assets and you have set a financial foundation that will leave a legacy for your children at such a young age! This is something a lot of 40 year old couples haven’t done! Congrats on your future nuptials ♥️
My husband and I got married when we were both 21 years old, and that was 40 years ago, and we are still married!! We are expecting our 6th grandchild.
This video definitely had an old school vibe that had me smiling from ear to ear right along with you. I don’t think that anyone who has followed your relationship thinks you’re too young. We’ve all been waiting for this to happen! Tara’s facial expressions are epic.
I don't think you guys are to young to be engaged or getting married, I think it just depends on experience like you guys said. Different people hit different "milestones" at different times in their lives, for example some people get married in their 60's and over and some people never get married, everyone's lives are different. I don't understand people that are judging you because you both are 22. Your lives, your choices. Love you both a lot
I would definitely love to see everything leading up to the wedding like the planning, dress shopping, cake tasting, picking groomsmen and bridesmaids etc etc! 🥺🤍
There is no doubt in my mind about you two being ready for marriage, absolutely yes!! With you guys being able to do a long distance relationship and making the effort to see one another speaks volumes. The genuine happiness of when you surprise each other is adorable and your family and friends are just as much committed to you both. I have noticed a second dog…. Did I miss a video about you all getting another family member????
Don’t listen to other people. You know when you’re ready. I got married at 19 and felt completely ready and I have been happily married for 40 years. You guys are the best and I love your video.
My brother married his high school sweetheart at the age of 22. They've been married for 41 years, have 2 kids and three grandchildren. They still kiss, hug, and my brother still opens doors for her. My brother still calls her his bride. My sister-in-law says marriage is hard, and the key to staying together is communication, commitment, Jesus, and not to go off how you feel especially when you hit a rough patch. Marriage isn't for the weak and it isn't always fun. But, it certainly is a journey worth taking when two people are equally yoked and put in the work. You two will be fine. Go for it.
lesson i learn from older couple for a successful relationship a. DO NOT BLAME the other for your reactions. Even if they do mistake YOU HAVE A CHOICE to forgive or not Never Never Blame other people for your reactions. b. Always ask your self if you starts to argue or get irritated. Is it worth it? Is the cause of the argument is really important? How important it is? Ask yourself those questions. c. Love is not about just emotion, as you go older you will have to make a choice to stay and learn to keep loving your partner. KEEP FALLING IN LOVE OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It's a choice.
So cute!! I love these “old school” type of quiz videos!! I love how you two take things as they come. Y’all are the best and it’s great how real you are about how distance vs not difference is on the relationship
You all are too cute. Your at home competition videos are fun to watch, ❤️ wedding prep for sure, and another house tour now that you’ve decorated. Either way, I’m here to watch. Your natural chemistry, endearing affection for one another and humor is just infectious.
You guys are an amazing couple! I’ve been watching you guys for a long time and I’ve noticed that you guys have a better relationship than most older people I know! It’s hard to find your soul mate and someone who has nearly everything in common with you! It’s very rare. Most of the time, people try to force relationships that obviously don’t work. I can’t picture either of you with any one else seriously! Sometimes age can play a factor in things but sometimes it just doesn’t! Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let anyone discourage you! I bet the majority of the people who think you’re too young aren’t even married anyway or have failed marriages or crappy relationships! Don’t listen to them, I’m proud of you two. Not only because of your engagement but with your careers and everything! You guys rock! Yes, wedding planning videos please! Love you guys!😊❤️
You all are doing just fine. Don't listen to others I believe that you two will do what is neccessary to make your marriage work. Good Luck to you both!!!
It’s all about the love, commitment and compromise you put into a marriage. Marriage takes work but like everything else in life the work makes you so much more grateful for every moment with someone. My husband and I got married when I was 21 and he was 20 and we’re now 37 and still married with 2 sons. Put God first and your spouse second in your marriage and you’ll see growth and blessing beyond measure.
I'm a new subscriber and I just love the both of you. Yes, communication is key to having a successful relationship, so keep working on it. I once asked an elderly man what was the secret to their long marriage (65yrs together at the time) and his response was that they never went to bed angry or with their backs turned to each other. Congratulations on your engagement!!! 🙌🙏❤️
Maturity is based on experience, i love how you guys have been thru so much of each other's lives together. Growing together, you're definitely ready for marriage, i wish you well.
Wow I have been watching you both from the beginning. Both of you have grown so much. I have been married for 28 years. I wish my husband and I where as together and ready as you two are. Keep doing the work. The one question I have is how will you discipline your kids?
Wife and I married at 23 , 1st 3yrs were challenging but after that seemed to fall in place our love for each other grew stronger and when my 3 girls came into the picture all was complete .31yrs and counting. You to are awesome. If you remove separation from an option you'll always be able to work through any issues you might have.
You’re educated, in love, and well traveled. You have each other’s backs (Tara = Mama Bear over Hunter) and believe it or not, looking out for each other is key. Love you guys!!
You both have great humor 😄 a couple that prayers together stay together. Always remember to laugh ,dance, have great conversations and communications is a great key to happy life 😊
I look at things so different I suppose. You guys live together, you’re sharing mostly everything as a married couple, you’ve been together forever. I think you know each other very well and you know you love each other and you’ve together accomplish more than a lot of older people. Very mature choices and that’s why you need to make your own decisions without a lot of outside advice. We all have to work on our relationship regardless of what age. I respect your decision not that it makes a big difference. Pray that all continues go well and you continue your love and respect for one another!💗💗❤️❤️
Good Luck Hunter and Tara, I wish u both a life time of long joy and happiness ,and I will be praying for the best for both of u with GOD 🙏💕 leading u in a healthy marriage
I’d love to see wedding planning as well as more workout videos. You two give me hope people still believe in the covenant of marriage. Stay together and grow together. Many Blessings to you both!!
You're 22 and been together for nearly 5 years. As my mama always said - get him young and train him right. Life's too short to worry about the opinions of strangers. Most people aren't rooting for you. They're rooting for you to fail so they can say, "I told you so." You do you and flip haters the bird. That's how you learn in life. You make mistakes, fall, get back up and try again. If you're lucky you get to do it all with the same person by your side. If not, everybody gets their heart broken at least once. That's why they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. C'est la vie.
I watched this just cuz y'all too cute! But knew you were ready for marriage w/o the quiz! Don't let anyone put negativity in your lives... history & biblically proves people can be together for life and it starts now....my best friends been together since middle school. Married out of highschool and going on 28+ years strong! Y'all got this communication is the key. Everything else falls into place. Y'all made for each other!! One love 💕🙏 stay strong, Positive and Focused!!!
I hate when people say you're to young to get married when they don't really know the couple. Everyone is different! Only you & your S.O. know if you're ready. Ya'll have been through so much together, the great stuff & the hard stuff. I'd say you're ready if you think you are!
Before I proposed, I was READY to get married bc I love my wife but I wasn’t PREPARED if that makes sense lol I didn’t feel comfortable proposing until I was prepared
Hey ...I love you guys! Y'all didn't need that test to know that Y'all are ready. You're experienced enough for marriage. There is a lot of people not even close to where you guys are financial or have the business mind that you guys have. Y'all keep doing y'all! Sorry so many Y'ALLS 😆
You are extra ready to be married for sure. 5 year long distance relationship and survive it? Heck You guys are more mature than most couples. We love you and have faith in your love unity. Los queremos mucho!!! Amore e bravo
If you both decide to get married I believe that y’all will be blessed, happy and content. Your personalities match so well. Marriage is a challenge but it’s what you make it. You will make it.
Hello Hunter and Tara, You guys always have me laughing because you’re always happy. And that’s pretty much how I live my life and my husband. My husband and I got married at the age of I was 22 and he was 26 and we have been married for 27 years now. U2 are compatible in every way possible. You’re setting yourself up for the future and that’s exactly what my husband and I did. Now we’re at the stage in our life where we empty-nesters. This is both of our second marriages. It took us both twice to get it right. And from what I see from you to you’re gonna have a long happy marriage and a bunch of beautiful kids. Tara I was a long jumper like you, I wasnvery good at it but unfortunately a drunk driver hit me and three of my friends I was the only one to survive, but the only problem was my knees and my ankles were damaged for life. I was on my way to be on that next stage. But my day and age was with Florence griffin Joyner, Jackie Joyner and among many others. And we all were close friends. I see young lady that you’re going to get up on that metal stand and I’m praying for you. And Hunter you’re a big inspiration not just for me before the world. U2 keep on doing what you’re doing and continue to make your '' proud auntie. God bless you too and you make me laugh. Today was Veterans Day I am a 22 year veteran from United States Army and I decided to stay in the house. I was a medic and I seen too much. So thank you for continue sharing your daily lives with us. My dream is to either go to the world championships or the Olympic games. Maybe one day. Remember one thing that was fee love, and kindness is free, that’s how I live my life.💛💜🇺🇸
As the old saying goes, "age ain't nothin but a numbe" and your lives reflects years beyond 22. You have been very fortunate to have the money and opportunity to invest in great things at an early age. You've survived a long distance relationship and done things in order. Nothing is more special than 2 ppl becoming one confessing your love and commitment to each other before God and your guest. I'm so excited for yall and can't wait to see what's to come in your future and YES I would LOVE to see wedding planning...wedding dress shopping videos...workouts and whatever else yall are willing to share. I Love you both and pray nothing but the best for you both 😊 oh and BTW....have you set a date yet?????
You’re not too young to get married. Age doesn’t matter. I got married at 20 years old & had a lot of judgement when i was engaged. I’m now married to my wonderful husband for a year & a half. With the foundation that we have with Christ, helped us prepare for our marriage & throughout our marriage. P.s. would love to see some wedding vids ❤️
18 months is still the early honeymoon stages. Come back in 10 years after you two have survived major emotional or financial trauma and ask yourself this question. How you two react to very bad stuff is the real test. Things like one partner has a life threatening illness, a child dies, or one of you needs major day to day care for a long time (basics - bathing, eating, dressing, etc.) Highly stressful stuff that happens to many people through no fault of their own.
@@NYCisland Thank you for your input, but please keep in mind you don’t know us or what me and my spouse have been through. However, by Gods grace we were able to overcome our obstacles thus far. “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 NLT
NEVER ask single friends for marriage advice. NEVER go to bed angry, and talk until you are blue in the face. If the communication breaks down, it's ALL BAD! Love each other ALWAYS in ALL WAYS! Marriage is THE BEST , when you have the right person. ❤
I don’t think you’re too young. You are both very mature for your age and have experiences that your peers won’t have for years to come. You’re focused, responsible, respect and love each other. You have a great foundation for marriage.
Hi Tara and Hunter, yes it's good to take your time on marriage, but the fact that you guys have move in together and live together u are like husband and wife ,and know that GOD is for marriage not living to so when u make that day it's every lasting marriage. Blessing to both 🙏
You guys have been independent and had to make decisions on your own being Olympians and going to other countries. You have had to deal with crazy pressures and that is what matures a person. As far as communication it’s truly being understanding and considerate of each other and patient with each other. The way you are raised effects how you communicate so just be open to understand each other’s love. ❤️❤️🙏🏾
I agree age doesn't determine maturity and none of you are strangers to responsibility. Probably more disciplined than most. "We've been getting in a scuffle a few times a week." Haha real life. Definitely interested in wedding everything!!! Just enjoy getting to see bits of your lives whatever it is.
My husband and I got married at 22... our entire dating relationship was distance mainly b/c he was in the air force at the time. After 2 1/2 of dating we got married that was 20 years ago. God willing we will celebrate year 21 in a few mths🙂. Not every year was easy and we definitely had our ups and downs but I dont regret getting married young. Yall got this🙂
Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you’re not ready for marriage. I know plenty of happy couples that got married young. Communication and compromise is important in a successful marriage. It works for me and my husband!
The maturity question is variant. In some cases it does have to do with experience and that comes with time while some people attribute maturity to age. There are people who are placed in grown up situations from a young age and are raised in those tough and challenging environments they have to adapt real quick even if they are young. There are folks who go through life in the different stages and are able to gain knowledge and mature through experiences over a long period of time
I don't think you guys are too young to get married. You are both mature and know what you want. Can't wait for the wedding. Don't let anyone steal you joy. Love you guys. Stay strong and safe.
My sister got married at 18 and has been happily married for 45 years. The maturity and character of the two people involved count a lot. You all are like two peas in a pod, just like my sister and brother-in-law. I agree with Tara that your lives are totally different from what we traditionally see. Your relationship has been a progression over time and not a sudden thing. You all have lived and experienced a lot separately and together. I'm wishing you all well, much success in your business and careers, and joy, happiness, laughter, peace, and longevity in your marriage. Go for it!
Just my option; I think you guys should enjoy been engaged for awhile. Have fun with each other, get to know each other better. Don’t rush marriage… When you do it; it’s forever.
I think Hunter’s mom’s reply blocks out all other’s opinions. Just saying.. mom’s opinion blocks out all other’s..Let’s GOOOOO..They have been together five years how much more fun..lol
You to are so adorable together ❤ and I've seen people who were married very young and going on there 25th wedding anniversary ❤ so just wanted to say you to just remember to communicate with each other that is the key to happy marriage. 👊🤩👍
Age doesn't necessarily makes you ready for marriage, it's about maturity, understanding commitment, communication,honesty, life and love goals. It's nice to also have a supportive network of friends and family that support you'll individual as well as a couple.
Tara and Hunter, take it one day at a time u will know ,my husband and I were there living together and we got married and had a long marriage, live many turns don't wait to long anything can happen, enjoy each moment and work together always and keep others out of your live
Age doesn’t mean anything when two people love one another. With love and commitment you can move mountains. I was married at 23 years old and now it’s been thirty beautiful years. My husband and I used our love to grow, and create a family and children we are so happy and blessed to have. Four years of separation you have already accomplished so much. You are both beautiful spirts. Thanks for sharing.
I think maturity comes with experience and I think people question young couples because usually growing together while also growing separately seems to be a problem compared to a an “older” or some may say “mature” are already established within themselves which I disagree with I think ass along as both people in the relationship has goals and etc they are working towards it makes it easier to understand and be able to compromise with each which like y’all said y’all had started 💕💕💕
Love it!! I don't think you are to young. You two went through almost five years of dating. I wouldn't wait to long to get married. You can enjoy life together. If you want those children, start young and get it over with so you can enjoy them. Spending so much time with them while your young. LOVE WINS.!! You can't listen to every negative thing. Take that next step and do it. You went through so much to get there. I was 20, we went to school together, I have three boys ( grown now with my grands) My husband passed, I love him still. You two love and know each other. From us MOMS!!!
I believe that you are ready because if you are currently living with each and the relationship is going great then you’re very ready. Your age doesn’t weigh in as a factor of getting married. Many older people aren’t any more mentally mature than an eighteen “18” . Each person matures “at their own pace” depending on their upbringing as well as being influenced by their peers. I GOT MARRIED AT 21 😊😊 I’m a widow now.
Sounds like you're ready to get married! Woohoo! You know what's best for you! I'm in love with recognizing that no one else can complete me, we are all WHOLE one unto ourselves, when two people feel Whole within themselves than the Big Love can flow. You both are independent power houses, that's what makes Union a super power...don't be afraid to take care of you, take space...then that compliments the two. ~*~
I love you both and I'm so happy for you... enjoy every minute of your life... when you find true love DONT EVER LET GO❤❤❤❤ I want to come to the wedding ❤
If you are truly ready, go for it. My husband and I got married at 22 and 23 and we celebrated 31 years this year. You will never know if it will work until you do it. The test was a great idea and you’re on the same page which is a plus. Go ahead and do it. I am so excited for you’ll. I can’t wait to see where life takes you. Many Blessings.
You guys are not too young. The question is are you ready to deal with another person ups and downs. Are u ready to give unconditionally love at no cost. U guys are already living together anyway so why not make it official. I was married 23 years old we still married 26 years later. It has not been perfect but we still love each other and he still my best friend. We are black and white couple also. Marriage is not ease but if you want to be successful in your marriage it will work. I refer to our race because race we be a factor but don't let other people racism affect your love for each other. You guys race will make you hold on tight to each other and never let go if you're strong enough. You're champions so I don't think that will be a problem for you guys.
I got married young and have been married for 36 years so don’t listen to them saying your too young. If you both love each other and keep communication open you will do great ♥️
Gm God put you 2 together he know hunter is for you and you are for hunter the love that you guys have for eachother it is magical and amazing you both understand eachother , you understand eachother in everything you and hunter love is patient it is real
Your ready! Do not listen to those who do not know either of you personally telling you that your not ready soley based upon your age! If they actually watched you both together they would be able to see that your ready! Besides, it's none of our business! I know people mean well, but telling someone they are not ready for marriage because they are in their 20s is absurd. People are not monoliths, and it has little to do with age, rather personal growth, character, maturity, and wisdom which does come with experience, however age does not necessarily equate wisdom. Your both Olympians and the amount of commitment and self control it takes to be a professional athlete shows how dedicated you both are to each other and how you view commitment. You have proven to yourselves and others that you are able to keep your commitments and remain disciplined. You thrived in a long distance relationship, and your love for one another is apparent! Mainly, if I would ever take advice from a stranger online than it would be this; love is a choice! Those intense feelings of being in love will wax and wane throughout your lifetime. They don't dissappear forever, but your feelings are also not a barometer of your love for one another. The world will tell you that love is how a person makes you feel which is not true, because love is not self seeking or self gratifying. This why many leave each other and state they just don't feel like they used too. 😕 that is not love. Of course attraction and chemistry has to be there initially, but basing your relationship on such a shallow idea of love is ridiculous. Love is an act of will! Your feelings are always led by your thoughts and your will. Best quote I have ever heard although I tweaked the beginning of it.. "Falling in Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
Maturity is based on experience in my opinion. I honestly should’ve married the guy I was with when I was 20 years old. But I thought I was too young so I stopped dating him. Turns out decades later he was the nicest guy I ever dated and I should’ve married him… I actually got back in touch with him when I was 40 years old when I moved back from San Diego and apologized for breaking up with him. His reply was kind of harsh which shows that I really broke his heart and he still was upset about it 20 years later. I should’ve married that guy. I’m so glad you two found each other and happy for you congratulations on your engagement
It is my humble opinion that you both have experienced more in your 22 years of life than many people that are twice your age. You’ve completed your college education, traveled the world, competed in sports on an international level, maintained a loving long distance relationship for 5 years, experienced the highs and lows of life supporting each other, brought your families together, and shared your collective love with others. Yah….I’d say your ready. God bless you both and your impending nuptials!
I second that!
You took the words right out of my mouth. The level of commitment, love, strength, and respect they have for each other is what others aspire to try and have.
I was going to say "no they aren't!" but you have a great point so now I wish them well. 🤗
So true
Very Well Said!!! Including beoming home owners, managing finances and property investments. Its the Genuine Love and Mutual Respect, and the Maturity Level for me. Heck i got married at the age of 40 and I still wasn't ready!!!
Age doesn’t necessarily make you ready for marriage. It’s love and commitment that makes you ready to put in the work to have a strong and successful marriage
Age you mean? And if so I agree ❤️
@@Football-is-fun-bad20 I did and I corrected my error☺️
Thanks
Well said 👌🏾
You are absolutely 1million times correct
I got married at 19 and my husband was 21, we are now 30 and 32 and I wouldn't have it any other way. We've accomplished so much together and growing together has been beautiful. Do what is right for you 😁
Age is not everything. I was 20 and here we are 35 years later♥️ You have had 4 years of having to learn to communicate long distance and that is huge and as Tara said you have both finished school, have a home and are financially stable and smart with your money. Can't say that for a lot of 22 year Olds though. You two got this😘
Mom has spoken no more reply’s needed..
Some people mature at different ages due to varying circumstances, its all situational .
Tara getting excited about kids is sooo wholesome ♥️
My husband and I got married at 20 and 21. That was 29 years ago. Do what YOU want and don’t let anyone tell you different!!!💙💙💙
First of y’all, only listen to each other. These people out here will hate at every opportunity. Y’all love each other with huge hearts and have weathered the storms of living apart and each time came back stronger together. There are a lot of unhappy folks out there who don’t want to live right. You have already lasted longer and have more substance than couples who have been together for decades. I love you guys, just keep being you. You know each other well so don’t listen to people on the internet who have nothing to do with your real lives and your married life. Letting in the haters causes doubt and trust to find a home. JUST DO Y’ALL cuz peeps out here be acting like y’all owe them something. You don’t. I’m rooting for you two!!!
👍👍👍😊
Based on what I've seen in your videos, your relationship is built on a solid friendship, and my opinion is, there's no greater pleasure than marrying your best friend. You will always work on communication. You already have a strong foundation, and you know what want, so continue to grow together, and don't allow the expectations, and experiences of others to dictate your journey together. Love always wins!!!
You will be working on communication your entire life (next month we will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and we are still working on it). I think the fact that you all have battled the long distance thing gives y’all a leg up. It’s not like y’all met 2 months ago and now are getting hitched. You all have known each other for a long time
You all have discussed finances and what’s important (including good credit and making that paper). You’ve tackled being compatible in other ways. Y’all have your stuff together more than most 30 year olds (and I don’t say that lightly). Major props coming from me 👍🏿
Great video
Tara,can you live without Hunter?Hunter can you live without Tara?Marriage has it's ups and downs. One of the keys to a good marriage is to keep the lines of communication open.
@@patberry6086 best comment
Maturity comes from experience for sure and the environment you've found yourself in. You guys for sure are more mature than most 22 year olds by spades! Also the fact that your relationship isn't like a lot of people's. The distance you two had as well as the careers you've chosen, that takes maturity and also commitment. What you guys have is truly special, anyone who disagrees just hasn't experienced it for themselves
You guys have purchased “homes.” You guys have split assets and you have set a financial foundation that will leave a legacy for your children at such a young age! This is something a lot of 40 year old couples haven’t done! Congrats on your future nuptials ♥️
not controversial. it's that you make each other laugh so naturally: my favorite thing.
Heck yea! Wedding planning videos , I can't wait looking forward to them. You two are made for each other.
My husband and I got married when we were both 21 years old, and that was 40 years ago, and we are still married!! We are expecting our 6th grandchild.
This video definitely had an old school vibe that had me smiling from ear to ear right along with you. I don’t think that anyone who has followed your relationship thinks you’re too young. We’ve all been waiting for this to happen! Tara’s facial expressions are epic.
I don't think you guys are to young to be engaged or getting married, I think it just depends on experience like you guys said. Different people hit different "milestones" at different times in their lives, for example some people get married in their 60's and over and some people never get married, everyone's lives are different. I don't understand people that are judging you because you both are 22. Your lives, your choices. Love you both a lot
I would definitely love to see everything leading up to the wedding like the planning, dress shopping, cake tasting, picking groomsmen and bridesmaids etc etc! 🥺🤍
There is no doubt in my mind about you two being ready for marriage, absolutely yes!! With you guys being able to do a long distance relationship and making the effort to see one another speaks volumes. The genuine happiness of when you surprise each other is adorable and your family and friends are just as much committed to you both. I have noticed a second dog…. Did I miss a video about you all getting another family member????
Do what YOU want!! It's not up to others when you are ready. Sometimes folks are annoying!!
Don’t listen to other people. You know when you’re ready. I got married at 19 and felt completely ready and I have been happily married for 40 years. You guys are the best and I love your video.
👍👍
You do you boo! I live by this: “I used to care what others thought…until I tried to pay my bills with their opinions” #micdrop
My brother married his high school sweetheart at the age of 22. They've been married for 41 years, have 2 kids and three grandchildren. They still kiss, hug, and my brother still opens doors for her. My brother still calls her his bride. My sister-in-law says marriage is hard, and the key to staying together is communication, commitment, Jesus, and not to go off how you feel especially when you hit a rough patch. Marriage isn't for the weak and it isn't always fun. But, it certainly is a journey worth taking when two people are equally yoked and put in the work.
You two will be fine. Go for it.
lesson i learn from older couple for a successful relationship a. DO NOT BLAME the other for your reactions. Even if they do mistake YOU HAVE A CHOICE to forgive or not Never Never Blame other people for your reactions. b. Always ask your self if you starts to argue or get irritated. Is it worth it? Is the cause of the argument is really important? How important it is? Ask yourself those questions. c. Love is not about just emotion, as you go older you will have to make a choice to stay and learn to keep loving your partner. KEEP FALLING IN LOVE OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It's a choice.
So cute!! I love these “old school” type of quiz videos!! I love how you two take things as they come. Y’all are the best and it’s great how real you are about how distance vs not difference is on the relationship
You all are too cute. Your at home competition videos are fun to watch, ❤️ wedding prep for sure, and another house tour now that you’ve decorated. Either way, I’m here to watch. Your natural chemistry, endearing affection for one another and humor is just infectious.
I think you’ve grown together over the years and I absolutely think that you’re ready. Blessings for both if you and your families. ❤️
You guys are an amazing couple! I’ve been watching you guys for a long time and I’ve noticed that you guys have a better relationship than most older people I know! It’s hard to find your soul mate and someone who has nearly everything in common with you! It’s very rare. Most of the time, people try to force relationships that obviously don’t work. I can’t picture either of you with any one else seriously! Sometimes age can play a factor in things but sometimes it just doesn’t! Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let anyone discourage you! I bet the majority of the people who think you’re too young aren’t even married anyway or have failed marriages or crappy relationships! Don’t listen to them, I’m proud of you two. Not only because of your engagement but with your careers and everything! You guys rock! Yes, wedding planning videos please! Love you guys!😊❤️
You all are doing just fine. Don't listen to others I believe that you two will do what is neccessary to make your marriage work.
Good Luck to you both!!!
Maturity is definitely based on experiences because we as humans grow and learn from the things we go through in life
It’s all about the love, commitment and compromise you put into a marriage. Marriage takes work but like everything else in life the work makes you so much more grateful for every moment with someone. My husband and I got married when I was 21 and he was 20 and we’re now 37 and still married with 2 sons. Put God first and your spouse second in your marriage and you’ll see growth and blessing beyond measure.
I'm a new subscriber and I just love the both of you. Yes, communication is key to having a successful relationship, so keep working on it. I once asked an elderly man what was the secret to their long marriage (65yrs together at the time) and his response was that they never went to bed angry or with their backs turned to each other. Congratulations on your engagement!!! 🙌🙏❤️
Definitely wedding planning videos!! Venue, food tasting, wedding dress shopping!!💍💎👰🏾🤵🏼
Maturity is based on experience, i love how you guys have been thru so much of each other's lives together. Growing together, you're definitely ready for marriage, i wish you well.
Wow I have been watching you both from the beginning. Both of you have grown so much. I have been married for 28 years. I wish my husband and I where as together and ready as you two are. Keep doing the work.
The one question I have is how will you discipline your kids?
Wife and I married at 23 , 1st 3yrs were challenging but after that seemed to fall in place our love for each other grew stronger and when my 3 girls came into the picture all was complete .31yrs and counting. You to are awesome.
If you remove separation from an option you'll always be able to work through any issues you might have.
You’re educated, in love, and well traveled. You have each other’s backs (Tara = Mama Bear over Hunter) and believe it or not, looking out for each other is key. Love you guys!!
You both have great humor 😄 a couple that prayers together stay together. Always remember to laugh ,dance, have great conversations and communications is a great key to happy life 😊
I look at things so different I suppose. You guys live together, you’re sharing mostly everything as a married couple, you’ve been together forever. I think you know each other very well and you know you love each other and you’ve together accomplish more than a lot of older people. Very mature choices and that’s why you need to make your own decisions without a lot of outside advice. We all have to work on our relationship regardless of what age. I respect your decision not that it makes a big difference. Pray that all continues go well and you continue your love and respect for one another!💗💗❤️❤️
I just found this couple and I'm so happy I did. I've got mad love for you guys❤
Good Luck Hunter and Tara, I wish u both a life time of long joy and happiness ,and I will be praying for the best for both of u with GOD 🙏💕 leading u in a healthy marriage
I’d love to see wedding planning as well as more workout videos. You two give me hope people still believe in the covenant of marriage. Stay together and grow together. Many Blessings to you both!!
You're 22 and been together for nearly 5 years. As my mama always said - get him young and train him right. Life's too short to worry about the opinions of strangers. Most people aren't rooting for you. They're rooting for you to fail so they can say, "I told you so." You do you and flip haters the bird. That's how you learn in life. You make mistakes, fall, get back up and try again. If you're lucky you get to do it all with the same person by your side. If not, everybody gets their heart broken at least once. That's why they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. C'est la vie.
I watched this just cuz y'all too cute! But knew you were ready for marriage w/o the quiz! Don't let anyone put negativity in your lives... history & biblically proves people can be together for life and it starts now....my best friends been together since middle school. Married out of highschool and going on 28+ years strong! Y'all got this communication is the key. Everything else falls into place. Y'all made for each other!! One love 💕🙏 stay strong, Positive and Focused!!!
This is the earliest I have been to a video! Love watching you two.
I hate when people say you're to young to get married when they don't really know the couple. Everyone is different! Only you & your S.O. know if you're ready. Ya'll have been through so much together, the great stuff & the hard stuff. I'd say you're ready if you think you are!
I can appreciate y'all being so candid and honest with these questions, there's always room for improvement as time goes by.🤗💜
U are not to young ,it can work u just need to know that u really love each other deeply 💖
Before getting married one thing to remember: “It takes two to tango” In my humble opinion i think Hunter and Tara can do it. Love you both 👍🏽🙏🏽❤️
Their opinion won't stop this marriage. They'll be watching right along with the rest of us supporters
Before I proposed, I was READY to get married bc I love my wife but I wasn’t PREPARED if that makes sense lol I didn’t feel comfortable proposing until I was prepared
It takes love, commitment, conversation, trust, you two have all of those things already, stay happy. I love the two of you together!! ❤ ❤
Please do a wedding dress try on vlog. And Congratulations to the both of you blessings to you both🥰
Yep, I would say, yep. It's always up to the two getting married. I think you both are amazing. Live your life and be happy. Yep ❤❤❤🙏
Hey ...I love you guys! Y'all didn't need that test to know that Y'all are ready. You're experienced enough for marriage. There is a lot of people not even close to where you guys are financial or have the business mind that you guys have. Y'all keep doing y'all! Sorry so many Y'ALLS 😆
You are extra ready to be married for sure.
5 year long distance relationship and survive it?
Heck
You guys are more mature than most couples.
We love you and have faith in your love unity.
Los queremos mucho!!!
Amore e bravo
If you both decide to get married I believe that y’all will be blessed, happy and content. Your personalities match so well. Marriage is a challenge but it’s what you make it. You will make it.
Can’t wait for the Wedding. Stay Safe Happy and Healthy❤️🙏🏽
Hello Hunter and Tara,
You guys always have me laughing because you’re always happy. And that’s pretty much how I live my life and my husband. My husband and I got married at the age of I was 22 and he was 26 and we have been married for 27 years now. U2 are compatible in every way possible. You’re setting yourself up for the future and that’s exactly what my husband and I did. Now we’re at the stage in our life where we empty-nesters. This is both of our second marriages. It took us both twice to get it right. And from what I see from you to you’re gonna have a long happy marriage and a bunch of beautiful kids.
Tara I was a long jumper like you, I wasnvery good at it but unfortunately a drunk driver hit me and three of my friends I was the only one to survive, but the only problem was my knees and my ankles were damaged for life. I was on my way to be on that next stage. But my day and age was with Florence griffin Joyner, Jackie Joyner and among many others. And we all were close friends. I see young lady that you’re going to get up on that metal stand and I’m praying for you. And Hunter you’re a big inspiration not just for me before the world. U2 keep on doing what you’re doing and continue to make your '' proud auntie. God bless you too and you make me laugh. Today was Veterans Day I am a 22 year veteran from United States Army and I decided to stay in the house. I was a medic and I seen too much. So thank you for continue sharing your daily lives with us. My dream is to either go to the world championships or the Olympic games. Maybe one day. Remember one thing that was fee love, and kindness is free, that’s how I live my life.💛💜🇺🇸
Wedding planning videos for sure!
As the old saying goes, "age ain't nothin but a numbe" and your lives reflects years beyond 22. You have been very fortunate to have the money and opportunity to invest in great things at an early age. You've survived a long distance relationship and done things in order. Nothing is more special than 2 ppl becoming one confessing your love and commitment to each other before God and your guest. I'm so excited for yall and can't wait to see what's to come in your future and YES I would LOVE to see wedding planning...wedding dress shopping videos...workouts and whatever else yall are willing to share. I Love you both and pray nothing but the best for you both 😊 oh and BTW....have you set a date yet?????
You’re not too young to get married. Age doesn’t matter. I got married at 20 years old & had a lot of judgement when i was engaged. I’m now married to my wonderful husband for a year & a half. With the foundation that we have with Christ, helped us prepare for our marriage & throughout our marriage.
P.s. would love to see some wedding vids ❤️
18 months is still the early honeymoon stages. Come back in 10 years after you two have survived major emotional or financial trauma and ask yourself this question. How you two react to very bad stuff is the real test. Things like one partner has a life threatening illness, a child dies, or one of you needs major day to day care for a long time (basics - bathing, eating, dressing, etc.) Highly stressful stuff that happens to many people through no fault of their own.
@@NYCisland Thank you for your input, but please keep in mind you don’t know us or what me and my spouse have been through. However, by Gods grace we were able to overcome our obstacles thus far.
“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 4:16 NLT
Overall i was just implying that they’re not too young to get married.
NEVER ask single friends for marriage advice.
NEVER go to bed angry, and talk until you are blue in the face. If the communication breaks down, it's ALL BAD!
Love each other ALWAYS in ALL WAYS! Marriage is THE BEST , when you have the right person. ❤
I don’t think you’re too young. You are both very mature for your age and have experiences that your peers won’t have for years to come. You’re focused, responsible, respect and love each other. You have a great foundation for marriage.
Hi Tara and Hunter, yes it's good to take your time on marriage, but the fact that you guys have move in together and live together u are like husband and wife ,and know that GOD is for marriage not living to so when u make that day it's every lasting marriage.
Blessing to both 🙏
I agree with Tara 100%. Love you guys blessings on your union and lifetime of love
You guys have been independent and had to make decisions on your own being Olympians and going to other countries. You have had to deal with crazy pressures and that is what matures a person. As far as communication it’s truly being understanding and considerate of each other and patient with each other. The way you are raised effects how you communicate so just be open to understand each other’s love. ❤️❤️🙏🏾
God bless you both. ❤❤🙏🇬🇾
Love the sweatshirt Hunter is wearing with picture of Milo…
I agree age doesn't determine maturity and none of you are strangers to responsibility. Probably more disciplined than most.
"We've been getting in a scuffle a few times a week." Haha real life. Definitely interested in wedding everything!!! Just enjoy getting to see bits of your lives whatever it is.
My husband and I got married at 22... our entire dating relationship was distance mainly b/c he was in the air force at the time. After 2 1/2 of dating we got married that was 20 years ago. God willing we will celebrate year 21 in a few mths🙂. Not every year was easy and we definitely had our ups and downs but I dont regret getting married young. Yall got this🙂
Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you’re not ready for marriage. I know plenty of happy couples that got married young. Communication and compromise is important in a successful marriage. It works for me and my husband!
The maturity question is variant. In some cases it does have to do with experience and that comes with time while some people attribute maturity to age. There are people who are placed in grown up situations from a young age and are raised in those tough and challenging environments they have to adapt real quick even if they are young. There are folks who go through life in the different stages and are able to gain knowledge and mature through experiences over a long period of time
TARAS HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD!!🤩
Idk what it is but the lighting and camera quality in this video is dope. The house looks gorgeous 😌
I don't think you guys are too young to get married. You are both mature and know what you want. Can't wait for the wedding. Don't let anyone steal you joy. Love you guys. Stay strong and safe.
My sister got married at 18 and has been happily married for 45 years. The maturity and character of the two people involved count a lot. You all are like two peas in a pod, just like my sister and brother-in-law. I agree with Tara that your lives are totally different from what we traditionally see. Your relationship has been a progression over time and not a sudden thing. You all have lived and experienced a lot separately and together. I'm wishing you all well, much success in your business and careers, and joy, happiness, laughter, peace, and longevity in your marriage. Go for it!
I’m 35 and have been married since I was 18 and my hubby was 21. We are golden! You’ll be fine too!
Just my option; I think you guys should enjoy been engaged for awhile. Have fun with each other, get to know each other better. Don’t rush marriage… When you do it; it’s forever.
I think Hunter’s mom’s reply blocks out all other’s opinions. Just saying.. mom’s opinion blocks out all other’s..Let’s GOOOOO..They have been together five years how much more fun..lol
You to are so adorable together ❤ and I've seen people who were married very young and going on there 25th wedding anniversary ❤ so just wanted to say you to just remember to communicate with each other that is the key to happy marriage.
👊🤩👍
Age doesn't necessarily makes you ready for marriage, it's about maturity, understanding commitment, communication,honesty, life and love goals. It's nice to also have a supportive network of friends and family that support you'll individual as well as a couple.
Tara and Hunter, take it one day at a time u will know ,my husband and I were there living together and we got married and had a long marriage, live many turns don't wait to long anything can happen, enjoy each moment and work together always and keep others out of your live
Age doesn’t mean anything when two people love one another. With love and commitment you can move mountains. I was married at 23 years old and now it’s been thirty beautiful years. My husband and I used our love to grow, and create a family and children we are so happy and blessed to have. Four years of separation you have already accomplished so much. You are both beautiful spirts. Thanks for
sharing.
You two always make me smile! I hope you get married and have wonderful happy life together. Your both magic.
I think maturity comes with experience and I think people question young couples because usually growing together while also growing separately seems to be a problem compared to a an “older” or some may say “mature” are already established within themselves which I disagree with I think ass along as both people in the relationship has goals and etc they are working towards it makes it easier to understand and be able to compromise with each which like y’all said y’all had started 💕💕💕
Love it!! I don't think you are to young. You two went through almost five years of dating. I wouldn't wait to long to get married. You can enjoy life together. If you want those children, start young and get it over with so you can enjoy them. Spending so much time with them while your young. LOVE WINS.!! You can't listen to every negative thing. Take that next step and do it. You went through so much to get there. I was 20, we went to school together, I have three boys ( grown now with my grands) My husband passed, I love him still. You two love and know each other. From us MOMS!!!
I believe that you are ready because if you are currently living with each and the relationship is going great then you’re very ready. Your age doesn’t weigh in as a factor of getting married. Many older people aren’t any more mentally mature than an eighteen “18” . Each person matures “at their own pace” depending on their upbringing as well as being influenced by their peers. I GOT MARRIED AT 21 😊😊 I’m a widow now.
Sounds like you're ready to get married! Woohoo! You know what's best for you!
I'm in love with recognizing that no one else can complete me, we are all WHOLE one unto ourselves, when two people feel Whole within themselves than the Big Love can flow. You both are independent power houses, that's what makes Union a super power...don't be afraid to take care of you, take space...then that compliments the two. ~*~
Do what feels right to make you’ll both happy. I was wondering how’s Tara brother doing.
Beautiful Tara Davis.. and Mr. Cool Hunter Woodhall.. y’all get it right
Do what makes y’all happy and wedding bells are in the future. Many blessings to y’all. ❤️❤️
I love you both and I'm so happy for you... enjoy every minute of your life... when you find true love DONT EVER LET GO❤❤❤❤ I want to come to the wedding ❤
If you are truly ready, go for it. My husband and I got married at 22 and 23 and we celebrated 31 years this year. You will never know if it will work until you do it. The test was a great idea and you’re on the same page which is a plus. Go ahead and do it. I am so excited for you’ll. I can’t wait to see where life takes you. Many Blessings.
Also, you guys are very mature, responsible and independent for your ages.
I just love you’ll. Your absolutely adorable together.
You guys are not too young. The question is are you ready to deal with another person ups and downs. Are u ready to give unconditionally love at no cost. U guys are already living together anyway so why not make it official. I was married 23 years old we still married 26 years later. It has not been perfect but we still love each other and he still my best friend. We are black and white couple also. Marriage is not ease but if you want to be successful in your marriage it will work. I refer to our race because race we be a factor but don't let other people racism affect your love for each other. You guys race will make you hold on tight to each other and never let go if you're strong enough. You're champions so I don't think that will be a problem for you guys.
I got married young and have been married for 36 years so don’t listen to them saying your too young. If you both love each other and keep communication open you will do great ♥️
Gm God put you 2 together he know hunter is for you and you are for hunter the love that you guys have for eachother it is magical and amazing you both understand eachother , you understand eachother in everything you and hunter love is patient it is real
Your ready! Do not listen to those who do not know either of you personally telling you that your not ready soley based upon your age! If they actually watched you both together they would be able to see that your ready!
Besides, it's none of our business!
I know people mean well, but telling someone they are not ready for marriage because they are in their 20s is absurd.
People are not monoliths, and it has little to do with age, rather personal growth, character, maturity, and wisdom which does come with experience, however age does not necessarily equate wisdom.
Your both Olympians and the amount of commitment and self control it takes to be a professional athlete shows how dedicated you both are to each other and how you view commitment. You have proven to yourselves and others that you are able to keep your commitments and remain disciplined. You thrived in a long distance relationship, and your love for one another is apparent!
Mainly, if I would ever take advice from a stranger online than it would be this; love is a choice! Those intense feelings of being in love will wax and wane throughout your lifetime. They don't dissappear forever, but your feelings are also not a barometer of your love for one another.
The world will tell you that love is how a person makes you feel which is not true, because love is not self seeking or self gratifying. This why many leave each other and state they just don't feel like they used too. 😕 that is not love. Of course attraction and chemistry has to be there initially, but basing your relationship on such a shallow idea of love is ridiculous.
Love is an act of will! Your feelings are always led by your thoughts and your will.
Best quote I have ever heard although I tweaked the beginning of it..
"Falling in Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
Aww y’all are so cute together and I luv y’all
Maturity is definitely based on your life experiences some have to grow up faster and go through more things to make you progress at a faster rate
Loved this video. I would love to see you guys play the relationship game "Love Language" its a card game.
Live your life... No one can tell you what to do you are GROWN! May God bless your union!
Maturity is based on experience in my opinion. I honestly should’ve married the guy I was with when I was 20 years old. But I thought I was too young so I stopped dating him. Turns out decades later he was the nicest guy I ever dated and I should’ve married him… I actually got back in touch with him when I was 40 years old when I moved back from San Diego and apologized for breaking up with him. His reply was kind of harsh which shows that I really broke his heart and he still was upset about it 20 years later. I should’ve married that guy. I’m so glad you two found each other and happy for you congratulations on your engagement
