Love LOVE this. It's hilarious how when you're married a long time, you tend to have the same fight over and over like a favorite record played so long it skips. More than once I've begged my husband, "Couldn't we try having a DIFFERENT fight?? We've had this same damned fight so many times, I don't even need you here for it because I can do both parts from memory myself!!"
I am watching these little wonders from Scotland, I love them, and this is THE best house I’ve seen in all these Hollywood star videos. My god these two are so real. After watching yesterday I was desperate for some Matzo and salt and I’m not even Jewish 😜🏴💖🤪🤪
I love how the dog sits up and appears to be looking directly at dad and is a focused listener. The dog is validating its owner. Yes, your feelings matter dad.
Becky is a great candidate for becoming a service dog for your household. She’s very keen to the level of tension and anxiety in your demeanor. Pay attention to her when either of you starts to get upset, take her cue and calm down.
I love Becky - she just sits there, then leaves, comes back, and is looking at Mandy as if to say 'Enough talking...pay attention to me.' He doesn't, and she departs again. So so sweet! And, love the honesty of Kathryn and Mandy and how they can communicate openly about situations.
I definitely get this. I finally had to face up to the fact that my husband was right about me being exactly the same way as Katherine (❤️ you, K.) with my spouse, when he tried to give input about home decor. I didn’t see it clearly until he retired and told me that he would like to be consulted about home decor before I bought anything to decorate our home. I was shocked and angry at first. Then I spent some time honestly examining my own past behavior. I realized I had not been including him in my decision-making for this our entire married life. Once I relented, I learned that he was actually very good at decorating. And the result has been that we both enjoy our home more. There have been a few times when I didn’t like one of his choices but found that I could live with it and actually felt happy about letting him have his way. Since becoming more open to his ideas, we have collaborated on some lovely crafting projects.
Bless you two!!!!! This has made me smile enormously!!!! The forever problem for every couple.... the text varies but the argument remains the same... how very reassuring!!!! Incidentally and irrelevantly, my favourite movie ever is Yentl!!!
I love this couple-they are so real. It’s left-brain vs right-brain thinking bumping up against one another. Here’s a tip Mandy & Kathryn: hire an interior designer to design a floor plan or download an design app. There are dozens of them now that can measure and do the layouts for you.
I wish he could have empathized with her feelings connected to being misunderstood and she could have empathized with his hurt feelings of being dismissed. And instead of defending they could apologize. I think they’d both feel better. 💜.
Meh, that tends to come later. I can't tell you how many times I've been mid-scrap with my husband (of over thirty years) and said, "I realize I need to apologize for that...and I will later...but I'm not sorry NOW!!"
I'm crying with laughter, as someone who recently survived a modest reno with my husband, I totally get it. After 40 yrs together, no one understands how we bought furniture, chose carpets and blinds and no actual lives were lost!
My husband and I were married for 50 years and we never agreed on anything, I swear my sisters took bets on how long we would stay together but except for the times we wanted to strangle each other they were the best years despite our differences.
This video had me laughing the whole way through because it's just like my husband and me, even using the same wording!! Yes, you can be very much in love and still butt heads over things. To life!!
I have loved Mandy ever since Criminal Minds and was so grieved when he left the show...... I am thrilled to have found this YTube channnel and met his wonderful wife! My husband and I have been married 45+ years.... and these two just make me chuckle.... I can't wait to watch more of these shows!!!
Honestly, my deceased husband and I had so many similar situations. Same reactions, same perceptions, and now it's just me, and I do kind of miss those. Thanks to you all for these videos and your authenticity.
Mr. Patinkin......man’s best friend is his dog.......not his wife. I’ve loved you ever since The Princess Bride and I love your singing! I’m just “sure” you can do no wrong! Ha! Ha!
You two are wonderful people. You’ve tried to do so much for the world in general. And I believe you are good parents and love each other. However, this makes me sad. Not just because I was there for decades in a miserable (mildly put) marriage (and wasted my life), but that I never had the chance of marrying a man with whom I was in love, he with me, and could weather the differences and blossom from them. It also makes me sad because life is so short, time too precious, relationships so special when you have an especially good one such as yours. It’s not worth the waste of time and stress on things that can be worked out with more affection. It also makes me sad that this was aired publicly. But you two are like that, not insecure in yourselves or afraid to say it like it is, and for that I do appreciate and admire. Still... maybe it should be something private because not everyone will understand your methods. It also makes me sad because you two are being made unhappy during such an already overly miserable health situation worldwide. You're lucky to be alive. And/or not fighting off covid-19 for months, unable to breathe or live much life at all, as friends of my family are doing. And it makes me sad because I no longer can own a home of my own, I must live with family, and I’d dearly dearly DEARLY love to have what you have. You are so fortunate (yes, you worked hard for it, but fortunate nonetheless.) It doesn't really matter where furniture goes, as long as you can keep that lovely home that you have for as long as you can keep it. Aside from all that, I have learned in my life Feng shui is a real thing and can affect people, adversely if it isn’t the same for both. I can move something as simple as a few containers on my desk to make it more convenient, and suddenly it feels so much better-or worse. If you both don’t agree on the same Feng shui, not sure what to say about that, other than compromise... one gets their way this time, one the next, and so on. And lastly. When there is a problem, always look at least one level below what you are actually saying, feeling, thinking... because more often than not, what you are saying, feeling, thinking is not what you really are doing. Dig deeper, as many levels down as you need, to get to what is really bothering you. Can be surprising. And often unites people instead of otherwise. Forgive me for butting in, however it’s what I do and have done all my adult life, even as a kid. I just want to help people. I’ve lived through so much trauma and pain with very little help. If I can spare someone even a little of what I’ve been through, it makes my life worth living, and not only improves my karma, but also makes me feel good about myself. *smiles* Be well. Be thankful. Be happy you have each other. And just try to be happy? *two hearts*
For some reason, this came across my suggestions, (probably due to the Princess Bride), but I love that Mandy wears a black shirt having a dog. That's awesome. We just accept it and go on. Love you Mandy. Great actor and apparently a husband who lost but is still fighting.....
People are often mean BECAUSE they are irritable lol … they are not exclusive. Often it’s the causation… and I’d venture to guess this isn’t about couches lol. Why am I saying this … you are both my favorite role models 🌟
I use graph paper and I draw the room to scale then I draw the pieces of my funiture to scale, cut them out and place them into various configurations in my graph paper room. That way, I only have to move the furniture once. It works great!
This is so funny...This entire episode is a recreation of my husband and myself. We are about the same age and have also been married forever....very funny!!!!
Mean is how you say things and not so much what you say. This is what my husband told me and I learned that there are loving ways to be impatient and irritable. Give your husband and son the benefit of the doubt.
Lol...I’m laughing so hard. Most couples have been there! I would have to say being irritable and impatient means getting a little mean. We all have our moments! She should apologize and then both agree that she is in charge of where the furniture goes...😂😂😂
Outer appearances can most definitely be deceiving. I see an easy intimacy, unpretentious and earnest relationship. May you be together for all eternity like Baucis and Philemon. Me agape, Aspasia
Mandy seems like my husband in our relationship. He has no patience for me. He doesn’t have any idea how upset he makes me. Anymore, I just go with what he wants. She laughs at what he husband says she is like. She doesn’t understand how she comes off. Just as my husband doesn’t see how he is in my eyes. Now, having said that, my husband has come a long way and has done almost a complete turn around, though I still concede to his wishes. It is easier than fighting over everything.
Oh dear.....this poor man does not understand this woman’s need to control the nesting process because her patience level to have it too complicated is gone......gone like a tide that will NEVER return again. It was all used up in the previous decades. I could be described exactly as her. “ MEAN”. “HURTFUL “. But it cannot be helped. It is truly not meant to be. It is very hard for a partner to understand.....Good thing for them the love is strong. My partner and I had to stop living together. They are a WONDERFUL COUPLE!! Adore them!!
Wow... family therapy at work...I hope you laugh at this when you watch this video together. You two are such a fun, passionate and loving couple. Acceptance of each other’s point of view and an openness to try each other’s propositions will go a long way. As you know there is no right or wrong way to move the furniture around. Keep doing it until it feels right for both of you. If all fails, there are Feng Shui experts willing to help. Looking forward to the next video on how you worked through this. No going to bed angry at each other, as you both know, after your long and loving marriage. Count it up to pandemic cabin fever.
Love LOVE this. It's hilarious how when you're married a long time, you tend to have the same fight over and over like a favorite record played so long it skips.

This is what a successful marriage sounds like, I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love how the dog sits up and appears to be looking directly at dad and is a focused listener. The dog is validating its owner. Yes, your feelings matter dad.
The poor dog is trying to neutralize the tension. She’s not happy with her cranky humans.
Becky is a great candidate for becoming a service dog for your household. She’s very keen to the level of tension and anxiety in your demeanor. Pay attention to her when either of you starts to get upset, take her cue and calm down.
CLASSIC for every marriage couple that has been stuck together during this pandemic 💗 love i am not alone
Wish there were more and more of Mandy and his wife. LOVE these! They are so true to life. Love you both, and your son. Make more!!
I've always admired MP but now I'm in love with the whole fam...mostly the dog.
I love Becky - she just sits there, then leaves, comes back, and is looking at Mandy as if to say 'Enough talking...pay attention to me.' He doesn't, and she departs again. So so sweet! And, love the honesty of Kathryn and Mandy and how they can communicate openly
about situations.

This is so great. Seeing real life marriages in real life petty situations.
Hello how are you doing 😊
Mandy: "Mom was utterly vicious to me..."
Katherine: "You keep using that word..."😆🥰
Bless you two!!!!! This has made me smile enormously!!!! The forever problem for every couple.... the text varies but the argument remains the same... how very reassuring!!!! Incidentally and irrelevantly, my favourite movie ever is Yentl!!!

I have been widowed 14 years. Watching these two was hilarious. Great love mixed with human real life silly frustrations it was glorious!
I love how the dog sits in the chair listening! 💛🐶💙
When I see the video, my involuntary smile on my face, we love you so much, take care of yourself
You all just cracked me up !! My husband just retired last week. And I work part time. I can see this becoming us
Mandy's shirt is covered in dog hair! I love it! Truly a sign of a good person! You are both awesome--even when you "fight"!
So relieved to hear. I have so much "Golden Retriever" hair on me at all times, it's embarrassing.
I wish he could have empathized with her feelings connected to being misunderstood and she could have empathized with his hurt feelings of being dismissed. And instead of defending they could apologize. I think they’d both feel better. 💜.
Meh, that tends to come later. I can't tell you how many times I've been mid-scrap with my husband (of over thirty years) and said, "I realize I need to apologize for that...and I will later...but I'm not sorry NOW!!"
I got distracted by the dog yawning, so cute y'all
Hilarious and wonderful people.
She is so smart and has a great personality
He, of course, is so honest
Great stuff
Even their arguments are delightful to hear. LOL
I'm crying with laughter, as someone who recently survived a modest reno with my husband, I totally get it. After 40 yrs together, no one understands how we bought furniture, chose carpets and blinds and no actual lives were lost!

becky looks upset , as mom and dad quarrel lololol
This video had me laughing the whole way through because it's just like my husband and me, even using the same wording!! Yes, you can be very much in love and still butt heads over things. To life!!
plot it out on graph paper using sticky notes for the furniture. love how becky just wants everyone to be happy.
What a healthy relationship. Love it!
The poor doggy can't take the underlying tension...
I have loved Mandy ever since Criminal Minds and was so grieved when he left the show...... I am thrilled to have found this YTube channnel and met his wonderful wife! My husband and I have been married 45+ years.... and these two just make me chuckle.... I can't wait to watch more of these shows!!!
The Dog is so patiently listening to your Dad lol!
Pup is like, 'Didnt we do this already today?'
All so real. Thank you for having me visit. Now, give a hug.
Everybody has not so good days. You guys will be just fine. We all know you're totally in love with each other.
Katheryn you are right!! I just LOVE YOU HONEY 🤗❤️
Honestly, my deceased husband and I had so many similar situations. Same reactions, same perceptions, and now it's just me, and I do kind of miss those. Thanks to you all for these videos and your authenticity.
This always makes me smile, thanks for that!
This lady is perfect and brilliant
There is a difference between being a mean spirited woman and a strong woman! Katherine is a strong woman. Brava!
How are you doing 😊
This makes me very happy and at peace with everything. This is normal, this is what's good.
I think I’m married to Mandys brother by a different mother! These videos make me smile.
How are you doing 😊
Love these two!
I love the little Lady she is the best 😄
I gotta side with Kathryn she owned her impatience and irritability and I can’t see her being mean! Plus she has the sweetest smile ever! 😊
That's THE best, your son cracks me up! And then you share it. I feel the love in this. ❤❤❤
Love the brutal honesty. Marriage is always a work in progress. Have always loved you, Mandy, and now love your wife!
Mr. Patinkin......man’s best friend is his dog.......not his wife. I’ve loved you ever since The Princess Bride and I love your singing! I’m just “sure” you can do no wrong! Ha! Ha!
I've been married 38 years, and these two remind me of my husband and myself so much. I just sit and laugh.
These two are freaking awesome!
This is soooooo cute, just started watching and subscribed. Dog has great sympathy.
Thank you - for sharing your lives - you both feel like members of my family now!
I LOVE YOU BOTH. I LOVE YOU BOTH AGAIN AND AGAIN. YOU GORGEOUS COUPLE. Hi from Sydney, Australia.
The dog is uncomfortable with serious talk. Lol.
You two are wonderful people. You’ve tried to do so much for the world in general. And I believe you are good parents and love each other. However, this makes me sad.

Much wisdom here in your response
@@lindacleveland1289 Thank you.
Love you guys! Your love and respect for one another is admirable ❤
Ah, mandy, this is just like the spouse and me...
For some reason, this came across my suggestions, (probably due to the Princess Bride), but I love that Mandy wears a black shirt having a dog. That's awesome. We just accept it and go on. Love you Mandy. Great actor and apparently a husband who lost but is still fighting.....
Because He loves you. Don't forget your Ram McNally and your water. Have fun. God bless
I love it that could be my hubby and I, but we truly love one another as you both do, too.
Becky is so patient!
Pick your battles, people. Life is short. Respect and love are vital.
Mom needs to let Mandy give his input. For G-D's sake you don't own the house by yourself
People are often mean BECAUSE they are irritable lol … they are not exclusive. Often it’s the causation… and I’d venture to guess this isn’t about couches lol. Why am I saying this … you are both my favorite role models 🌟
Ok, a little therapy is in order, methinks.
I use graph paper and I draw the room to scale then I draw the pieces of my funiture to scale, cut them out and place them into various configurations in my graph paper room. That way, I only have to move the furniture once. It works great!
How are you doing 😊😊😊
I love you guys! These videos are brilliant!
I love this! So real and my husband gets the same from me🤣
This is so funny...This entire episode is a recreation of my husband and myself. We are about the same age and have also been married forever....very funny!!!!
Poor dog had enough. 😂
I can’t even imagine our son or daughter interviewing us! Funny, I (the wife) am Mandy and my husband would be your mom. Hilarious!
The dog gives no fluffs about this, but is there if you need pets.
Mandy, Kathryn Looks just like Maxine, that should crack you up.
That dog is beautiful
Mean is how you say things and not so much what you say. This is what my husband told me and I learned that there are loving ways to be impatient and irritable. Give your husband and son the benefit of the doubt.
"What we have here, is a failure to communicate!" From the movie, "Cool Hand Luke"
a quote often said in our house
we need video proof of the argument. see how bad it really is.
Becky wants you to stop fighting. So funny.
Mandy, Husband around the world feels your pain of furniture couch remodeling issues!
Comedy gold thanks for sharing.....keepin' it real 👌👏😂🙌
Lol...I’m laughing so hard. Most couples have been there! I would have to say being irritable and impatient means getting a little mean. We all have our moments! She should apologize and then both agree that she is in charge of where the furniture goes...😂😂😂
Too much togetherness not a recipe for tranquility... but you guys are a hoot and ive been quite entertained!
Outer appearances can most definitely be deceiving. I see an easy intimacy, unpretentious and earnest relationship. May you be together for all eternity like Baucis and Philemon. Me agape, Aspasia
How are you doing 😊
Hahaha, dog said...I'm Out! When you two leggeds get it together call me, otherwise, don't bother me until it's Dinnertime ~
Mandy seems like my husband in our relationship. He has no patience for me. He doesn’t have any idea how upset he makes me. Anymore, I just go with what he wants.

They are a WONDERFUL COUPLE!! Adore them!!
My husband and I say we’re having a “we’re not on the same page day”...lol!~Kim
I want to see that photo that Mandy took of Kathryn on their first date.. right after he said he was going to marry her.
Absolutely the best family 🥰😆😆
Listen to the dog! Where would s/he like the sofa!
Love you all have a great day from Kentucky
Oh my God, this is just like my parents!!!!
I'm team Catherine but also love Mandy. They are working out some great karma.
Omg, exactly the same with me and my husband
Mandy seems actually very angry.
How are you doing 😊
Anyone married for more than five years has had the couch fight.
Wow... family therapy at work...I hope you laugh at this when you watch this video together. You two are such a fun, passionate and loving couple.

So "normal couple" discussion! Let Mandy put his chair where he wants!! Otherwise, mama gets the inside placement of furniture!
The dog is staying neutral 😊
Switzerland.
Most enjoyable kind of getting to know ya.....honest folks..
