    I totally think that watching a show or movie together can be quality time! I can be doing homework with someone in the room and consider it quality time because sometimes I just like to have someone close by- it makes me feel connected to them!

    You should totally do one on the apology languages. They are on the same site as love languages. I find it very helpful, not just in marriages, but all relationships, especially after an argument. Also same with the words and compliments, Shawn. Idk why but that just harder for me to accept them.

    I love how REAL you both are. Argument or not, it’s refreshing to not watch a perfect couple. What I mean by that is that you do argue. Relationships can’t be perfect, no one can agree 💯 of the time. Keep being you guys. ❤️

    I am 100% with Shawn about watching something on Netflix together. If they are actively engaged in the activity with you it is absolutely quality time together! My top two love languages flip flop between words of affirmation and quality time.

    Shawn... Your allergies reactions REALLY showed in this episode. I hope you're doing okay. Andrew.... Keep her inside, as much as possible, while pollen counts are raised. Love you both, and the rest of the family.

    I absolutely love how real you all are! I see your stories on FB all the time. This is the 1st time coming to your TH-cam channel. It is refreshing to see a couple that isn't fake with their audience. The love between the two of you is so evident even when you are aggravated. Inspirational! ❤

    There's a difference between HEARING someone and LISTENING to someone. Look it up. My therapist taught me this too.😊 it really interesting.

    Love language is the key to all relationships! Understanding your needs and your partners are different is so essential! I love you sharing this!

    The biggest thing I learned in therapy was this. When you are having an argument stop. The person who said something that made your spouse mad or hurt needs to ask what did you hear me say? Or ask? Calmly. He may have taken what you said wrong and that's what started the argument. This way you realize he took what you said in the wrong way. So now you can rearrange what you're trying to say until he hears what you are saying. Most of the time it works. I didn't explain it very well but I hope you get what I'm trying to say. Lol

    Shawn what you said about how you don't trust word... you are not alone with that. I feel like especially now days with how easy it is for people to talk differently behind your back with texting and what not. Someone might say something kind but it is hard to know if it is truly genuine.
    I totally agree I am not a texter. I would much rather talk on the phone or sit together and talk when we get home. ❤
    I need to take this test! And get my hubby to do it.

    Wow! Well done. I am so impressed because I was not sure I would learn so much. You both absolutely nailed this episode. I learned a lot. I think that the same way that not everything in your love language resonates, some individual things resonate in other languages that might not even be appealing as a love language category. The broad categories are helpful, but so are the specifics. Thank you for doing this episode. I loved it more than I thought I would (because I love most of the content you put out). This 1 was as mature and well planed as all of your episodes that I have watched. Thank you. Keep putting out such amazing, quality content.

    It is so true that everyone has different love languages! I love Andrews comment that we must learn our partners love language and willing to sacrifice for our spouse!

    I adore the episode! Thank you for sharing this!! Mine is words of affirmation and I literally have been having the biggest arguments with my husband cus when I ask him to say these words back to me. He responds with things like “are we in high school “ or doesn’t understand what I’m feeling! It’s so important to be on the same page! Can’t wait to watch this with him! Thanks Andrew and Shawn! ❤️

    On the question of Netflix, this is tricky as is any similar example. Sometimes an activity or story can bond people and sometimes it can be distracting. Mr. East seemed to imply that there is no difference between watching (or doing) something together, but separately and watching or doing the same thing on one's own. I agree that while the actual thing does not change, the experience of it does. Doing something in someone else's physical space, for example reading and answering e-mail or reading different (or the same) book separately is clearly different to having the company of the person you love with you in the same space and this goes to Mrs. East's point that you want to share your experience of that book, film, or activity. For example watching Couple's Things with Shawn and Andrew ;) Mmmmmmm...... Love you both so much. Love learning from you.

    My husband and I did long distance for 2.5 years and we never texted back and forth either! We had at least an hour long phone call each night to talk about our days. Looking back I was annoyed I couldn’t talk to him all day (I was also 19) but it made our conversations SO much more special and meaningful! We both share our secondary love language... quality time... and I’d say Netflix can be quality time if there are no other distractions. But it also depends on the couple. We like to discuss things that happen in the show, or my husband loves to guess what’s going to happen next (and I get so annoyed because he’s right EVERY time) so we’ll often pause and talk throughout the show. But if you are both just watching it together and saying nothing then I’d say it’s probably not quality time.

    Please note, words of affirmation have to be heartfelt otherwise they mean nothing. I only get words of affirmation with my prompting and they don't sound sincere. That is more hurtful.

    Watching a show/movie is def quality time. Especially if you are distracted and not watching tv all the time. If it's interesting to her, then you have something to talk about after the show

    Love both of you, and the entire rest of your family. Would like to hug you both. BUT.... 1) Only with your permission and 2) Your spouse must be okay with it, AND present. I'm a hugger, with permission, and triggered by hugs without permission. CPTSD is my curse.
