5 Things I Wish I Had Known About My Husband As A New Bride 

You and your husband are the internet parental figures this generation needs

My parents were never the philosophical sort. They are working-class folks, and that’s all they know and care about. I had to raise myself with strangers or by RU-vid videos. It’s sad, and lonely, but it’s the only life I’ve ever known. Listening to people like you, and the wisdom you offer, it’s a godsend. It keeps me hoping that there’s a better life for a peasant like me. So thank you. I really do appreciate it.

I'm a grandma. Been married, twice. My advice would be to decide what you want your life to look like and do not compromise. The right man will help you achieve it. Be patient and wait till you find him.

I am 81 male -- this was the best video ever. This should be a MUST WATCH before every wedding and every six months after. Bless you for sharing.

I want to say as a homegrown city boy from the rougher side of town, it’s really refreshing and inspiring to see you guys doing what you’re doin! Growing up in Atlanta you don’t get to see healthy examples of relationships/ marriages and especially good solid men. And I’m learning so much from you guys at 23, you’re even helping me patch things up with my daughters mother whom I hope to marry one day. Keep it up and thank you guys 🙏

I am an extremely independent lady in a blue collar job, and I have been told from outside sources that I am a sigma. I’m working with myself currently to practice being a more feminine woman. I am always learning what it means to be a woman, and it is good to hear advice in this format, being so straightforward. please don’t tiptoe around the potential feelings of your audience too much. they’ll either like what you say and stay, or hate it and leave. those of us interested will benefit greatly from your bluntness.

Before getting married - - Do not expect your husband to change for the better once you're married and with kids, because they often don't. It's just too hard for one thing to constantly go against the grain of their own personalities. That doesn't mean it's not possible to change, or that people never change, but don't put put all your hope on or make commitments thinking that good change is a guarantee. - When trying to decide if to have kids or if to marry someone, and if you have doubts, ask yourself - what are his actions? Not what he says, but what does he actually end up DOING? It's easy enough to tell someone you love someone, most people like to hear it, but if it's not followed by actions, then the person you're with is either confused about what love is, or doesn't actually love you but is with you for other reasons. It's hard to realise that because you want to trust them and believe them, but you need to focus on the hard evidence. Ask yourself 'What kind of evidence have I witnessed to far that would lead me to think that he's going to be xyz once he's my husband or a father?' If you have witnessed experienced far more negative actions than positive (addiction issues, mood problems, bad with money, cheating, generally irresponsible) ..........then the likelyhood that this will change once you're married is very, very small. You are taking a huge risk by proceeding further. In fact, if you listen to many women, they will say their husbands changed for the worse when they had kids, simply because they knew their wife was vulnerable and not likely to leave. If he's neurotic, moody and bad tempered now with you......just wait and see what he'll be like with lack of sleep and kids screeching around the house. Women often find out that their choice was a bad one when it's too late. - It is not your job or spiritual duty to rehabilitate badly behaved or abusive men, to the cost of your own health or even safety. They are not your child. Do not take the responsibility of his bad childhood or parenting on your shoulders, or think you have to put up with awful behaviour or your needs not being met because you feel sad for him and his childhood or mental problems. If you want to rehabilitate something, try upcycling or painting some old furniture, or renovate a house. If you want to nurture, have kids. If you want to heal and develop, become a therapist of lifecoach (and then at least you'll be paid for it). Don't be one of those women who reach 50 and realise that all their efforts were all for nothing and he never actually did improve. - If he doesn't take care of you nicely when you're ill, bin him. Some men view women as household appliances and do not like it at all when they malfunction. Many women find that out the hard way - when they have children, when they have to have na operation and need someone to step up so they can take it easy and heal after that. Some men will ignore their poor wives and leave them to handle everything by themselves, even if they've been told to rest by the doctors. Or those men might reluctantly 'help' you whilst sulking or giving you the silent treatment as your punishment for having to provide this service. Some men are mean with their money, but others are mean with their time and support. These are the types that expect you to dote on them when they're ill but they won't return the favour. - Look up the meaning of 'strategic incompetence' and 'mental load'. Hopefully knowing about those two will help you avoid them.

It’s so refreshing hearing a girl explain these dynamics and show how she’s made amends with them. Just so cool y’all found so much maturity in your own souls.

“Have grit, and give Grace.” Well said! Words to live by. You are an awesome role model for wives everywhere. From a happily married man for 52 years.

I'm a liberal and open minded 38 years old guy from Brazil and I'm very thankful for having the opportunity to watch you and your husband talking to a camera in such a vulnerable and honest way right, in front of my face! Your opinions and advices about such controversial subjects are so agreeable and useful, that almost scares me!! I'm so happy that I've found you this channel!!

Outstanding advice. My wife and I have been married 60 years. Even though she has an anxiety disorder and was taught by her mother to despise her husband (because of her bad marriage) I could never walk out on my wife or divorce her because I would be turning my back on my God; and I can never do that. We both have a strong faith in God, and that is the foundation of our marriage. When you want to please God and be obedient to His commands, you treat your spouse and others with love and respect. This along with tolerance and understanding will solve a multitude of problems.

Nice video. I am 83 and my wife is 82. We have been married for 63 years. There is nothing better than staying together for life. Not that it always happens, but that is what God intended and the benefits of it can not be explained.

You sound so sweet, and humble. I started on your husbands channel-mostly for my husband to listen to. I’m glad you started your own, I’d like to be the kind of wife a husband values and I’m excited to hear more from you. Mamas United!! ❤

I have been with my wife since 1982. I believe that our success was in large part that we never used sex as a weapon and only rarely would one of us turn down the other’s advances. Satisfaction on both sides was important too. We also never fought over money even when money was short. We have always been great friends and have never denigrated the other. We have been two people sharing our lives together and so we have our own things but do them in the same place and never feel ignored if the other is busy with their activities. I think you have hit the nail on the head with your advice and I hope it helps others.

The conversation with the kids is best conversation you can have

I think your channel is a very important addition to your husband's channel . The young women of today I think should learn from your experience . I think it can literally save their lives . Thank you so much and keep doing what you're doing, I think it is very important. But yet another addition to all the hard work you do

I’m a 52 yr old male,recent divorcee from the uk and I learnt a lot from your reflections here. I loved to hear your traditional values on marriage, thank you

I am a male, we are married for 40 years. You spoke wisdom, I was wondering why you were so cautious. You are spot on, I can not add anything more to your list. Lovely to listen to you both. May GOD Bless your work. Thank you.

I can't believe this was in my recommended. I didn't want this video to end because it resonated with me and validated so much of what I feel and undoubtedly what we all feel to some degree. It is frustrating, but at the same time, fascinating just how different men and women are in just about every aspect. I had never heard of the "nothing box" so I am super interested to look more into it! Conversations like these are so crucial for understanding ourselves and our partners better and ultimately having fulfilling relationships with those we love despite how challenging they can be at times. Thank you for this!

This was much needed. My husband and I have chosen to do traditional marriage roles (he works, I stay home with the babies, cook from scratch, and am starting homeschool) and it can seem so hard in this day to find anyone who can give guidance on this type of marriage. Being in the throes of baby/toddler years it’s hard to think it will get easier and not feel that “envy” you talk about. I would love to hear more on these topics and how you dealt with raising the children, roles in parenting, and finding grace as a traditional mother and to not feel like you’re continually failing 😅 please more videos! 🙏🏻

This was very lovely. I have a wonderful beautiful Mama of my own that I love very much, but we don’t get to have conversations like this normally, so this is a blessing. I’m a young single Christian woman and having folks like yourself speak wisdom into my life is such a gift. Keep doing your thing Mama! Look forward to seeing new videos!

"What are you thinking about?" I started using alternative (if he looks troubled in my eyes, probably just inside nothing-box😅) "You remember I'm here if you want to talk about something, right?" and then just leave it. That gives him space. Thank you ma'am, your content is much needed and appreciated❤️

I loved and appreciated this! I am 54 year old woman, no children and never married. Even so, there is lots of wisdom and honesty here for me. So refreshing. The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine takes many forms and you two display a beautiful expression of each. This made me proud to be a woman and a human being. Thank you for your courage for being so frank. ❤️

How do we say… You and Your Husband are the kind of hard-working-devoted Americans that made and continue to make our country great. Keep making videos please.

I’m a young bride and I’ve watched this video and your husbands. Spot on wisdom. I would love your take on what respecting your husband means in terms of action.

I gotta comment again, Please don’t be cautious with what you say I feel as women we need to be able to have open conversations about marriage in its entirety! I’m looking forward to more videos from you, as I have never had a legit woman role model. However, I somehow still managed to hold the same traditional views and was married just over a year ago. Thank you so much!!

Thank you and Dwayne for speaking about what many of us have experienced or things we need to hear. I’ll be 72 in a few weeks, will have been married to my wife for 52 years come next week. Both of your perspectives are spot on many times. Dwayne’s unashamed defense of manhood, what it means to be a man is what drew me to him…and just now discovering your channel with this video makes me appreciate what you 2 are doing even more. I agree in part with a couple things you said but because we are not all cut from the same cloth I thot I’d share something from a different perspective. I do have a nothing box, where I appear to need to just empty myself and recharge but the truth is most of the time I’m just wanting to sort things out without any input or influence from anyone else, wife included. So, there are wheels turning but I’ve shifted to neutral so that nothing appears to be moving. Secondly, as far as intimacy goes I am the kind of man who appreciates a woman who slips her hand into mine, gives me a hug and/or for no reason except as an expression of her love towards me. That is one awesome thing that attracted me to my wife 52+ years ago. Those things disappeared early in our marriage and that intimacy was replaced with a weekly “ritual”…you know, kids in bed, Saturday night, perhaps a glass of wine and wham, bam, thank you ma’am. Once we became empty nesters the “ritual” has continued. I have had conversations many times with my wife about how I appreciate simple efforts of affection that may or may not lead to sex…I try to hint at that by giving her a romantic kiss or cuddle beside her on the couch. The response I get is she makes me feel immature or less manly. She may bring up other people and say “do you think Bob and Linda behave like this?” Most times she’ll just take my hand and say “I know what you want” and we head to the bedroom. That’s not what I always want but I seldom want to start an argument or a discussion…again…about how much I appreciate spontaneous intimacy. If she would become more intimate and it results in sex then fine but I would feel more loved from those simple acts than from “ritual” weekly sex. She has always been receptive when she knows I’m “in the mood” so it’s not like there is a lack of sex in our relationship, but there is a lack of intimacy. The “ritual” of sex lacks any expression of love, it’s just a device to bring us physical pleasure. It makes me feel like I’m missing out on something. Do you think I am being difficult or am I the exception and not the rule of how normal men feel?

I have never heard someone hit this on the head so well. Really glad I clicked on this video.

I am a single woman with no children and I really got a lot out of this video and enjoyed your company. I never heard of the "sigma" personality type before, so thanks for mentioning that. I can relate totally. Thank you! PS My "mommas" name is Deanna too.

Thank you!! I can’t wait to pursue a similar traditional marriage and family with my current boyfriend! This advice was amazing, I’d love to see future videos about motherhood and parenting too ❤️

So glad & grateful you’re on here now🥰

Awesome video mama! Always good to find a sanity check in this crazy world of ours! You two are awesome and are super helping me out! Keep em coming! Have a great christmas

I am so excited about this channel! I am so happy you started one. Thank you.

Thank you for the book and video recommendations, I really appreciate you sharing these along with your humble personality

This is giving me all the queens code vibes. Loving you and your husbands content, it is so needed, especially in today's world❤️

Yay!!! We get Momma’s wisdom too!!! Thank you!!!

OMG I love this! Girl, we so need to have coffee together in the mornings!!! Thank you for this and I will keep a lookout for your upcoming videos. Thought I was alone...

This is so awesome Deanna! I love hearing your perspective along with your husband. You two are so relatable and give great advice. Love that you have your own channel now!

So excited for your channel. There are very few out there who talk from heart and experience like this. Thank you🙏🏼

Good morning. I'm a new subscriber here from Virginia. I feel blessed to have found this channel. I can't describe it exactly but to watch and listen to you and your husband on real life topics just calms me down almost instantly; and I feel so much better in getting on with my day/life. You are relaying ideas and explanations about things many of us are struggling with. Just want to say thank you and please keep up the great work.

I'm so glad you started this channel! I love your husband's videos, and I love the videos you've done together, but I didn't realize how much I needed a Dry Creek Momma exclusive channel! Keep up the good work! :)

Well said! Congrats on the new channel. Great advice.

Love your content so far. The book & video recommendations are great. Thanks for sharing the wisdom!

My husband introduced me to dry creek wrangler and I’ve watched so many videos. I got so excited when I saw you started your own. So crazy to see Dry Creek grow so rapidly! Keep doing yalls thing 👏🏻👏🏻 me and my husband love yalls content. We aren’t cowboys and never will be but we love the old fashioned country life and the wisdom it brings!

You're my new RU-vid Favorite Mama. Sincerely Seriously. Your honesty and a true example of woman and male relationship info . Wisdom shared Thank you. My hubby are 32 years in together. I have been trying so hard lately and getting .....well....I needled this / you. I think many people do. Thank you. Real eyes, Realize Real Lies. Y'all are the Truth ! 💯👍🏻👍🏻😍 ty both. Ahh yes, I am new here on both yalls channels today. I feel like I scratched off a winning lottery ticket

Thank you so much for sharing your viewpoints, I loved hearing your points and really hope you get a great audience with this channel. :)

Love your advice and love that you have started your own channel! Marriage is hard and your advice is fantastic, makes us all feel that we are not the only one struggling with the rollercoaster of marriage, thanks so much Momma!

Congratulations and best wishes on your new channel! Although widowed for nearly 10 years, I can appreciate your words of wisdom from a woman’s perspective! I love both your channels and I look forward to checking out future content, it’s a wonderful thing for women and men to support each other as we navigate this journey called life! Thank you very much! ❤️🕊🙏

I've been following your husbands channel since back when there were only a couple hundred followers and have really loved every video. I'm looking forward to this side of the stories, too. The two of you remind me of my wife and I but a bit further down the trail of life then we are yet. It's wonderful to find a couple who have wisdom to share. Thank you 🤠

So much to think about here. Thanks for taking the time to share. I like how you shed light on when we feel uncomfortable about why our partner isn't responding the way we think they should. Glad you have a good marriage!

You're wonderful. Thank you for sharing all of this Deanna.

I think what y'all are doing is awesome and very inspiring. God bless you both and please continue what you're doing.

Thank you for this video Momma. You both give me hope of a loving future with my better half. Keep it coming and take care!

Such a great video! Thank you for all of these tips and can’t wait for more!❤

So happy to subscribe! We love your material and Dwayne's as well! Instant fans!

I'm excited to hear your side of things! I recently discovered your husband's channel and I enjoy it. I am so far removed from the type of life you live but I love watching your life. I live in a metropolitan Canadian city and these tips are helpful!

I am so so so happy you made your own channel! I am a momma of a three year old and an 11 month old, and newly married this summer, but been together with my husband for 5 years. I am so so so looking forward to your videos about raising kids and being married, because I have no one in my life who could teach me those lessons or be a role model. So extremly grateful for you, it's like you're an answered prayer.

Very well said! Thank you for taking the time.

The comment about respect vs love is sooo helpful to me. This is the first place I’ve heard it mentioned and it immediately explains so many conflicts I’ve had and witnessed in my life. Thanks for sharing

Very happy you started this channel - I loved the video you did together on "traditional marriage". I got nothing to do with horses and I randomly stumbled across the "how to deal with loneliness" video and I've been subbed since, always looking forward for any new uploads! Much love from Hungary

I came here from Dewayne. I’ll stay for mama. Much love from your neighbour to the north. Enjoy your winter.

Glad you're making videos on here too! This was a really good listen.

Awe 'have grit and give Grace" love that! So excited to be a new subscriber ❤ been watching and loving your guys main channel for awhile but nice to have a ladies corner to🌻

Thank you! This is so realistic and relatable. Married for 12 years and feeling a little lost. This brings it back down to earth and makes our troubles seem not so big.

My 29 yo son shared your husband's channel with me and I find it encouraging (even have my daughter watch some of his videos as part of our homeschool...) and I am happy to be a new sub on your channel as well. This is the first of your videos I've watched and I can see that I'll be watching future videos! I've been married for 30 years and I agree with your advice and am refreshed by much of it to step up my game as a wife. Thanks and God bless!

😂 you are sooo right! 😊 God Bless you I needed this and so I shared it too!

Hey Momma! It's so cool to see that you've started your own channel. Your husband has given me so much amazing wisdom and advice in his videos and I can't wait to see what you post on your own channel. I also happened to look up where Dry Creek Wrangler School is and I was very surprised to learn it's in Tennessee! I'm also from Tennessee, specifically the eastern area of the state, and I just thought that was really neat. God bless y'all and keep up the amazing work that y'all do.

There is something very special that comes through you and your husband's words. I'm very glad you started your own channel. Thank you for sharing your grace with us!

This is a great video Deanna. My husband and I have been married for 25 years, and I agree with everything you've shared. Sometimes, as women, it's very difficult to get out of our own minds how we view ourselves. We dealt with that for years. I would not have a high opinion of myself, so it was hard for me to receive my husband in the way he intended. It took a lot of prayer, and my husband's commitment to the Lord, and our marriage, to come full circle.

Respect is everything. Great video!!!! Gonna have my young sons watch you guys. Great life advice!!! Happy Holidays

Already enjoying this channel. I started following your husband recently from those more philosophical videos he'd post because I enjoy his chats. And now I am already enjoying yours. I also agree on the be respectful in comments area. Big thing I've been pushing too. Gets old not being able to have civil discussions.

It made me tear up when you said ‘he wants to see all of you, give him that, and you will feel beautiful. Try it.’. I need to get out of my own head full of insecurity and try it

I love this momma. I grew up with a single grandmother and my husband a single mother. We’re still learning after getting married at 19&21. Now 23&26. With 3 boys. We love this life. We’ve watched all our friends married in the timing of our relationship divorce. We are searching out community with neither sides of our family very active. And we’re trying everyday to be the couple others can turn to for help. We want to see marriages thrive. And families restored. Love your slow sit down video. And your wisdom. And I took a lot from it. Thank you!!! Look forward to your next video!🫶🏼

First time tuning in, these issues are common to all relationships and I think it is wonderful that you bring it out into the light of day it helps the group mind learn. Thank you.

I just ran into duanes channel and i just subscribed to yours, these videos are relaxing and very encouraging, some stuff i knew but most i didnt. Thanks to you and duane for helping us.

Thank you for starting a channel. It’s been great learning from both of you. Sincere thanks for your good advice. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

1st, I think it’s cool y’all started a channel for you. Been married (this time) for 16 years, and understanding marriage doesn’t completely take away your independence (within reason) is important. I think it’s healthy to do some things without the other, and it opens opportunity to new conversation. Y’all hit the nail on the head on so many topics that unfortunately a lot of young folks aren’t taught nowadays. I’ve watched a lot of videos on the other channel, and feel it’s safe to say your husband and I have quite a bit in common. If I’m correct, he’s a lucky man to have you! I think it’s great what y’all are doing with the channels. It’s refreshing to find raw content that comes from the heart with good intentions! I wish y’all the best on your RU-vid success, and hope y’all take advantage of some of the monetization opportunities avail.

I was hoping for something like this from Momma! Thank you for your dedication to sharing this wisdom with us. A a new wife, I really appreciate it. Much love from Florida.

I love everything you mentioned. I would love to see more of what you have to share♥️much love

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Me and my wife are still in the early years and haven't had any major issues in our 4 years together as a couple but most of these things have come up and I think watching this again with her would be really helpful for us both. The part you mentioned about not having to be dolled-up constantly is something I've shared with her a few times. She's gorgeous but she's really self-conscious about minor things I don't even notice or find unattractive. I think a lot of that comes from our culture unfortunately... Yeah, there are times when I'd like to see her looking like she did on our early dates, but on the flip side, I also know she needs to see me dressed nice and cleaned up like it's a first date sometimes too. That's definitely something I need to work on more because I have "settled" into married life a bit because of professional responsibilities. But it's also about effort. So thank you for reminding me about that. You're also 100% spot on about the physical stuff, and "rewarding" behavior. I dated some women (briefly) in the past who would do that and it feels disrespectful and borderline de-humanizing. It's worth mentioning that men can do that in our own ways sometimes, which isn't right either. I don't think it should ever be thought of as a reward. It's something we get to share together and the only motivating factor should be our love and commitment to each other. Overall this was great, so again, thanks for sharing! Good luck with all the future videos too! You're good at communicating clearly and this kind of point of view is so hard to find as a "traditional" couple nowadays, so I'm sure the channel will grow like crazy. And yeah, I definitely have that nothing box thing going on A LOT of the time 😅

Thank you so much for your last point and your obvious current understanding! My story is tragic, but married 17 years. Currently ending in her affair and divorce. However! Your comment about him having the blinders on all day actually brought tears to my eyes! For 24 years I have had eyes only for this girl I love and married! I chose HER! Not only did I always consider it my duty to not notice other women, it truly became a natural way of being. But alas, coming home to her and giving her all that attention and energy that I was saving for her alone was met with rejection, refusal, denial… I’m not just talking about sex, I’m referring to any sort of affection or attention along those lines. I saved it all for her, and she refused it. If any other marriages can be helped by your video, or even possibly my own comment, this is why I’m here and applauding you! Ladies, that part of him is for you alone and he’s saving it for you! You ought to be jealous of it if he ever strays from you in that regard, but please don’t reject and refuse it from him when he offers that energy and attention to you!

you and Dwayne have helped me in ways that some people in my family haven’t, whether it’s because they don’t know the words to string along or they don’t know how; anyway, y’all have been a godsend and are such wonderful people. I hope you and him the best, and I will always continue to support the both of you. I’m glad you created your own channel and I’ll be tuning in to better understand the opposite perspective of life and everything that comes with it. thank you again to you both, and happy holidays!

I am so happy you started your channel! I love watching your husband's videos so this makes it that much better! The nothing box is such a real thing. Took me a long time to understand. 🙂

I love your perspective!♡ I didn't get married until I was in my 60s. A "sigma male" fell madly in love with me. He even rescued me from a fruitless relationship. He is an amazing partner and yet it's been challenging for me. I would say judgement and comparisons are our worst enemies. I'm glad I trusted him. I love him to bits.

The respect thing really is huge. It goes hand-in-hand with being treated fairly. I can show the utmost devotion to the woman I love, but it wears me down and breeds resentment if I don't get the respect I feel I deserve. I was never able to adequately put this into words in my past relationships, but I really just didn't feel respected or like my opinion or feelings mattered. And for someone who rarely speaks unless it's to say something of import, not being listened to and actually heard was a huge slap in the face to me. With my new relationship, ensuring I felt respected as an equal partner was a prerequisite. The nothing box, physical aspects of a relationship...also very true. You totally nailed it. Even the envy thing. I would get judged for not doing some chores around the house, but everything else I did around the house or for our relationship was taken for granted and ignored until I was gone and they realized just how much I did. Even when you do try and help out with the chores your partner usually does, it doesn't help when they criticize how you accomplish those tasks, which happens often in relationships. And you're right, a man picks a woman that he wants because he wants her. I wrestled with the jealousy of women I was with, even when I only wanted them. I was content just to be with them and around them, but their insecurities disturbed the balance of things. Yes, men have that physical appetite. And (pardon the metaphor) a man can work up that appetite anywhere, but a good man will always prefer to eat at home with a woman who loves and respects him. Thanks so much for your input. There is a lot of truth to what you said here and I think your words carry a lot of value for anyone who is trying to make things work by finding out HOW they work.

it really is nice hearing your side of things, being a fan of dwayne from the original channel. your commentary deepens the wisdom

oh this was LOVELY! thanks a ton!!! this is the type of content I aspire to create soon as I gain wisdom in this very specific area of life :)) much peace and love to you both 🤗🤗

My husband and I love to watch Dewayne’s channel and I’m so excited for your channel! I absolutely loved this video. My husband and I have a more traditional marriage like you all, he works outside the home and I stay home with three toddlers full time. I definitely needed this video, we are young couple married 5 years but together 9, we have grown up together and grown together over these years, and it’s nice to hear the same views and values.

I’ve been married 32 years I agree 100% with what you’re sharing.

So much respect for you and this series. You seemed a natural on camera and very well spoken. Cheers to you guys!

What a nice video, thank you for posting your wisdom. I watched your husbands video and then yours popped up, and I appreciate both of your perspectives and shared them with my husband. We both had previous failed marriages and many of the items you both listed are things that we came to this marriage deciding to do differently based on seeing how dismally things turned out with our previous relationships. It’s fantastic that you were able to learn and grow with each other. My husband and I strive to do the same, understanding the importance of it more than we ever did before.

I love the sharing of integrity. Thank you for being you and for being here. ❤

"Have grit and give grace" Love it. I sometimes put sayings by the front door for my kids to see as they leave the house. This is going to be the next one! Thank you.

Tonight I happened to stroll across Duane’s channel which had led me to yours. I can not tell you how much I have learned in such little time and how much I anticipate this helping my fiancé and I grow our relationship. Thank you for what you are doing and keep the videos coming.

Happy to have found your channel. I’m looking forward to more videos. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

I'm so grateful that you decided to start making your own videos like these. I watch a lot of Dwayne's videos but the video he posted titled 'cowboy up' it made my heart smile to listen to the story he told of you. I thought to myself at the end of the video, that's a woman I want to know ☺️ I admire your strength. One of the things I say to myself often is, cowboy up princess 🤣 Take wonderful care of yourself Deanne and please keep sharing your videos.❤️

You, my dear, are spot on!! I was with my wife for nearly 30 years, until she passed on, and much of what you offer as insights, we learned over the course of our marriage. Respect and love should be given and received in equal doses, but...tempered and molded to each person's "needs". A good beginning!!

I really appreciate the content that you two make, it’s always helpful to hear! I also think it’s really valuable talking about the physical aspect because I think that’s a big thing that gets misconstrued with media and we end up with expectations or ideas of what it “should” be.

Your husband rules! Stay blessed and thank y’all for doing These type of videos. Really really great content and much needed these days. :)

Wow I love your perspective! I think the same way thank you so much!!! I also can’t agree more about the physical aspect of a marriage you are on point! I love reading , definitely gunna get those books for my husband and I!
