Newlywed vs Now 

My husband and have been married for 21 years. I love him more now than ever! Last year I became critically ill and I was in a coma, on a ventilator, and multi organ failure. I was dying. My husband went against my family and did everything possible to save me and I survived. I ended up on dialysis for a year and ultimately heart surgery. My husband took care of me through multiple hospital stays, rehab stays, surgery, and trips to the dialysis center. I recovered enough to get off dialysis but I still may need a kidney transplant. For much of my ordeal, we were separated due to COVID restrictions. My husband did everything possible to keep me motivated to get back home to him! That is what love looks like! I am so blessed to have married such a wonderful person!

47 years married and she is still so precious to me. The more challenges we faced and surmounted together made us closer than when we first married.

I laughed way too hard at "how are you not bald at this point?" So accurate! I wonder that myself sometimes!

Robotic Kim & Penn are hilarious, can you imagine talking like that all the time? lol My hubby & I have been together 26yrs, married 20 and it has only gotten better. We laugh a lot, spend time together but not afraid to tell each other stuff that is bothering us, or at least I am not lol He is so easy going, nothing bothers him EVER or if it does he won't say (which I think is more accurate lol). It sometimes annoys me how he can let things go and not stress over it but I am thankful for it because I've gotten better about that too thanks to him.

“A family that farts together, stays together.” - Benjamin Franklin, probably

I like that we’re reached the “I will literally suffocate you with this pillow if you don’t shut off your phone” stage. Much easier to get the point across. 😊

The farting thing is so true. When you're dating or newlyweds, you hold it in till it hurts. Now we just fart and giggle about it. Being married to someone you love is amazing. Our first year stunk. You have to figure out everything from money to toilet paper brand. Our first year was a constant learning experience. Now marriage is easy. We are still learning about each other, but we know how to both get what we want without hurting each other. Also, you learn how to make your wife happy, and you do things just to make her smile, which makes life awesome.

Too many people give up WAY too early (in those newlywed years) and just throw in the towel and get divorced. This shows how sticking it out can be well worth the time and patience and love put in to a marriage. Well done, Kim and Penn! ❤

Did you guys actually talk like robots back in the beginning?? LOL!

Almost 27 years and 9 kids later... Our marriage is so much better!💖 With God's grace all things are possible!

When the husband and I had been married a couple weeks, he wanted to know why we were going through toilet paper so fast. 😂 Now with 4 kids, 2 of them female, he doesn't ask. He just buys lots of toilet paper.

Great reminder that love isn't just romantic feelings. Til death do we part! Here's to all the non-newlyweds. LOVE how Penn channels Kim's Hallmark voice.

We just celebrated our 38th anniversary, i almost forgot that we had to cuddle all night. The pillow wall is a real thing. You two are so funny. It truly makes my day when I see a new post from y’all.

I'm 40 yrs old never married, no kids however, I do like how marriage is being celebrated with its ups and downs in this video. That's a beautiful thing. With that said, I love my space, my personal time---and having my own bed! 🤗🙌🏾

Well, after 45 years together, I have to admit we've learned to ask for what we want, learn disappointment at not getting it and just getting what we want for ourselves if we want it that badly. It's just a serious of compromises. We probably disagree a whole lot more than we did when we were first together. We have grown in different directions. We don't even sleep in the same bed (he snores LOUDLY and fidgets). We are old people in our 70's now and facing the prospects of leaving this earth without ever doing everything we dreamed of doing one day. That being said, we say I love you every day, can't imagine life without each other, best friends that always have each other's back and still hold hands and cuddle when watching tv together. Yep....relationships aren't easy, but nothing in life is. You have to really work at being successful at anything, but it's so worth it. Love you two. I hope I live another 30 years to see you guys get old together!

Considering your voices I was almost thinking how much this could be a hallmark romantic movie spoof.

This comments section almost has me tearing up from the beautiful wholesome marriages! 😍

It gets better every year we’re together - honestly. Marriage is hard work but so much fun at the same time. We’ve been married 10yrs and can’t wait for the next ten. It definitely gets better the longer you’re together and working at your marriage together.

We're 50 and newlyweds. "Pandemic marriage." 💖 Still in the lovey dovey phase. 🥰 But he does toot in front of me and I have my pillow wall already. There are comfort benefits to being in your 2nd/3rd marriage. 🤣

Almost 40 years. He is my rock. Neither of us is perfect but I'm so glad he's mine.

We will be married 25 years in March and it's definitely much better now. I dress a lot like you do now, Kim, and it's so nice to be so comfortable with my partner and still feel loved and desired by him. Plus he's always there for me. I had a slight medical issue the other night and all I said was, “help,” and he was at my side in 10 seconds flat, which isn't so easy for can 79 year old. I love him more and deeper than I did when we first met.

Literally watched this video with my phone propped up on my pillow wall. Glad I’m not the only one that builds a pillow wall.

25 years married, and cannot imagine life without him! I had severe chronic migraines for years that were so intense I wanted to die. He was there every step of the way, and his patience, love and compassion got me through. This video is so relatable!

Oh yes, after 37 years our marriage is much better. For instance - just this morning he went to the pantry and actually found what he was looking for-I mean it can't get better than that. I told him if he keeps finding things I will have more time to sew!!!

We started dating when I was 16, got married when I was 24. We never really went through a newly wed phase. I think it wouldve totally been like this if we met when we were older. But instead we grew into adults together. I miss the early days of our marriage, but I think we appreciate eachother more now. Long story short, I developed a progressively disabling disease at 30. So we’re living the in sickness and in health part earlier than most married couples.

MUCH BETTER! I LOVE how much I know my husband now. He's a place of security and safety and such an integral part of my life. We communicate better, we are more comfortable with each, the struggles we've been through together have sweetened our relationship, and having children together has brought us so much closer. I love my hubs!!

I lost it at “talon toenails” 😂😂😂

Been married 28 years, had some hills, some valleys but we are still making the journey together, I think it gets better, safe, and definitely worth the ride!! We were engaged after 2 weeks, married within 6 months(no I was not pregnant, lol) we never did have children together, people said we were crazy, but those people are now divorced and we aren’t!

After 28 1/2 years, I wouldn't trade this time for the beginning for anything. We know each other better, but also know ourselves better. Mature love is the best.

After 24 years of marriage I can honestly say that we are better, smarter and not afraid to ask those important questions. When the pandemic happened last year, he was home all the time (still is) and I have a better understanding of what he does. And why he doesn't want to talk when he he use to work in an office. He talks all day long. Ha. We are truly blessed!! ♥️

Hubs and I have been married for about 19 years now. We got married young and while we KNEW we were meant to be together, I feel like we (maybe just me) were terrified. We both went into marriage knowing there would be ups and downs and determined to get through them all. Thankfully, we've done it and continue doing it 🥰I loved our early years but he gets better every year and it's because he isn't trying to be the husband he thinks I want. He is the husband he knows Jesus wants him to be. 🙏

I almost spit out my coffee, laughing at the part with Penn holding the clump of hair from shower. My husband and I just went through this last night and he said pretty much the exact same thing that Penn said. We were laughing last night about it but even more after seeing this, my husband even laughed 🤣

Married for 17 years with two daughters, and I can safely say that my wife and I are happier now than we ever have been. There will always be challenging situations, but I am confident we can get through anything. That being said, I can definitely relate to this video 😂

My husband and have separate rooms. It saved our marriage and we get along better than ever.

I love Kim’s hoity toity voice whenever she does a character like this!

No matter if you’re gay or straight, this rings true on every level! This month we will be married 14 years, and in December celebrate 16 years together. I am my Wife’s 3 wife, and She says (about me) “3rd times the charm!” We are different in so many ways, but I agree with Kim; I absolutely love us now, from back in 2005. I am much more comfortable with myself, and especially helpful was finally getting the proper diagnoses of CAPD, ADHD, and autism, from a lifetime of being told I was bipolar. Not only do we now know more and more how to help me communicate and share life, but my confidence is through the roof. My Wife, (who is 11 years older than me) is still my Bestie, my partner in crime, and still my favorite person to be a goofy kid with. Life is beautiful. Even the dark moments. Staying grateful, it makes getting to a lovely spot so worth the hard work, sweat and tears! We love you guys. Thanks for being so real, and it makes us feel happy to know other couples are just as silly and enjoy life! (Penn, you are a little over a year older than me, but man, if I ever thought I had a missing older brother, Dude, you’d be it! You both are sooper dooper! Namaste

This is too funny and also accurate. My husband and I moved past the "newlywed" stage long before we even got married. We met at 18, he moved in 3 months later, we bought a house at 20 when I was pregnant and then married at 22.

34 years married and he's still my best friend! Happier now than the first few years!!!

“You are a culinary genius” is my favorite line to watch. Kim, you are the best!

I love your videos - and this one was so accurate! We're right at 2.5 years into marriage and have a 17 month old baby. Life really got rolling a lot quicker than we expected but we wouldn't change it. However, I have recently been really missing the care-free newlywed days when all we wanted was to be together and make each other happy. Being married has shown me how selfish and immature I can be and the work you have to do on yourself as a person (with God's help) is no joke. I really want to work on seeing the positives in our relationship again instead of dwelling on the negatives. Thank you for this. It was so incredibly encouraging to read through comment after comment of other people sharing how much better their marriages have become after years of hard work!

51 yrs Aug.1, 2021. Love my guy so much. But as we matured, so did our marriage. Got even closer after the kids were out of the house. He still makes me laugh. Advice?…Appreciate what’s in front of you, it goes by too quickly.

Been with my hubby almost 12 years and you hit the nail on the head with newly wed gas, snuggling, and cleaning up after another. 😆 Those were fun times! He still thinks I'm beautiful too. 🥰 Best part of being married a long time is finally training them to do everything THE RIGHT WAY 👍. Blanket stealing in bed has been dealt with by each person getting their own blanket aside from the community comforter to avoid midnight chills. Great video, very relatable! You guys are great and seem to have a wonderful marriage. Congrats on making it this far.

My husband and I are in our 40s married 16 years and 3 girls. Our marriage is definitely better now than when we were newlyweds. Lots of humor and better communication have kept us going and made us stronger.

The married parts... 😂🤣 that is so my marriage. The hair everywhere from him and me the pillow wall that's so me. It's a good thing we have enough of the silly newlywed stuff still going on to keep us still in love otherwise we'd probably drive each other to drink. Also, thanks to years of being together and being each other's best friend we are comfortable enough to do all the things that others find discussing but still love each other and we are able to be honest and yes ask for what we want and know that our partner knows that it's what we really mean instead of assuming that the other can read our minds. It's so much better when you grow together and understand one another. I highly recommend that.

21 years and counting and truly think he is amazing!!! He never gives up on me no matter how hard I am to deal with!

Yeah, 19 years later, and we def aren't the same people. We are better in almost every way, except older and less fit. You guys are so right, tell your partner what you need!! ❤️💕

Engaged at 19 (and no I wasn't pregnant lol) 30 years together and 25 years married. I honestly can say that I wouldn't change a thing. There is no one I would go through life with other than my hubby. It's a shame that the younger generations have no interest in marriage because if you find that right someone, there really is no greater gift. Going through life's ups and downs knowing that person is on your side no matter what.

43 years of marriage and I'm still learning things from my lovely wife.

My husband and I have been married for over 35 years, and we were just discussing this the other day! I loved him when I married him, but I had no idea how deep love could be. What we have now is soo different than that first married love but so much more. And I think better.

This made me laugh so much! I love the bed scene! In my house, I’m like, “Don’t touch me while I’m trying to sleep!” Sometimes my husband will try to gain back that long lost time of snuggling by holding my hand in bed, and I’m like, NOOOOPPPEE!

Almost completed year 7. W007! Haha! IT's gotten better every year. I love him more now, so much more. Communication has gotten a lot better. We're better at conflict resolution. We just...know each other better. And we are doing more to care about each other and do for the other person instead of just thinking about ourselves and being disappointed when we don't get what we want. I guess we are less self-centered now and more "us" centered. Getting better and better!

Dying here! 😂 Whiskers in the sink is a reality! And yes - 30 year marriage strong!

My husband and I have only been married for a year and a half, so we’re still in the newlywed stage, but we’ve been together for almost 7 years now. I can definitely say we’re closer and love each other even more now than when we were lovesick little puppies first dating. Also, y’all’s book has helped us SO much as we navigate these first couple years of marriage!

8 years in. Totally relate. Our newlywed phase didn’t last too long because we celebrated our 1st anniversary with a 6 week old, though, and I had a tough pregnancy. But I prefer it now. There is a lot of freedom in our marriage to be ourselves and closeness because of that freedom.

Me, newlywed: "Whatever you want, sweetie. We'll do what you want to do." Me now: "I do what I want. This is what I want to do. Lead, support, or get out of the way." Us, newlywed: "Let's cuddle!" Us, now: "I'm so tired, I can't even roll over to kiss you goodnight." So he says, "flop your hand over" and I do and he kisses it. Perfect. My Mum used to say that she and Dad were like a comfortable old pair of slippers together. My husband and I are getting that way too. It's nice. =)

I literally love the robotic voices!

So much better because it's over! Ugh - how people can live together and love each other, I'll never understand. Well done on all of you that have made it and continue to make it. I just don't think I'm cut out for that life.

Agree! The calling scene, we used to do that when we're dating, and now 13 years together and 11 years married I almost spit my coffe when I saw what I do now, LOL! Glad that I'm not the only one! Actually is great to see in a funny way situations that are real!

This felt like the (imagined) Hallmark movie "Hallmark: Happily Ever AFTER". 😁

Got married at 20 and have been married 7.5 years. We exited the newlywed stage pretty quick when life threw us a curve ball of a house fire after 5 months of being married. Going through something so major like that caused us to really grow in our relationship and cut straight to the tough stuff.

We’re married almost 25 years/together for 30 and people considered us an old married couple when we were just going together. The only differences ive noticed over the years are the body function noises (burps/farts/noisy nose blows) which i was never privy to during courtship days and we are less possessive of time spent together than before (at least ive gotten used to the workaholic in him and spend my time with my own interests when hes busy).

It will be 16 years next Friday, and it’s been amazing for every one of those! I can’t say that now is better than the newlywed faze, both have their own attractions, but we have grown so much as people, and a couple, and I wouldn’t trade him for anything!!

Hey, my pants fit better! I swear I've said this to my wife under similar circumstances 😂

We are pretty much still newly married after getting married in the pandemic. You have been with us thru our whole marriage. AND through this pandemic..... THANK YOU!!!!!

Not married, but after ten years of relationship, it's SO much better now. Actually it just keeps getting better. 😃😄💞

At some point in our dating relationship, I let a fart slip. My then-boyfriend breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that we can now fart around each other. We've been together for 9 years now, married for 8. This video is too funny.

I don’t have a pillow wall, but we have a sleep number bed and his number is 35 and mine is like 50, so on normal nites, my side of the mattress is almost an inch and a half taller than his side. We may not cuddle all nite, but we are much nicer to each other during the day when no one’s back hurts! 🤍💛

I almost spit out my food when Kim said " I shall keep some for sprinkles of our love"😂☠️

This is great. Lol. Been married 22 years and I agree. I, too, prefer now to the newlywed years. & I agree with the end, as well. The husband is much more attractive now in his 40's than he was in his 20's. Who knew!? 🤣🤷‍♀️

I especially like the Hallmark movie voices from the "newlywed years." :)

Sweat angel🤣🤣🤣🤣 just when I think you guys can't get any funnier, you channel your inner Bold and the Beautiful and take it to the next level

We got married after dating mostly long distance for 9 months when we were 23 and 26. We've been married for almost 28 years and a mature love that has weathered some storms and come out stronger is way better.

11 years of marriage this year. We've been through a lot but I definitely have noticed our love has grown and strengthened ❤

We are married 11 years this month and our marriage has gotten so much better from about year 5 to now it's been so much fun and the best is yet to come!

The sarcasm towards your newlywed selves.. Love it.

After 26.5 years married this is so accurate! My husband found wireless headphones for the TV so he can sleep with background noise and I can have blissful silence. Life is grand once again. Hahahaha. Marriage is never perfect but it can be great if you choose for it to be.

38 years married here. Our marriage has gotten healthier as we've matured. Finally, we're starting to get it. Heh. Thank you for your humor.

You know what is hilarious about this video is that it's so true! My husband said the exact same thing to me about my hair in the shower drain than penn said about Kim's hair. Also I said the same thing to him about his shaving remnants in the sink. We will be married 40 years this August and it keeps getting better. I like this stage. Love your videos

This was hilarious! My husband and I have only been married for four months, and we do almost everything from the "Now" stage already!

Married 26yrs, and yes it only gets better! It takes love, working together, commitment and communication. You guys are so fun! Thx for all the fun content 😀

Just had our 1 year anniversary. Can't wait until my wife reaches the pillow wall stage. I keep saying we need a king size bed. She says it won't stop her migrating over to my side. I told her I would climb out, walk around and get back in on her side. She can continue migrating until she falls off the bed.

I’ve been married for 29 years and I’m in my 40’s too . I love how honest we have become throughout the years but I definitely miss newlywed time.

I love the byeeee at the end lol

My husband and I have been together for 18 years, married for 16 years. We were married young(ish) so over the years we've matured and doing so together has been an interesting experience! I have to say that I've learned to appreciate him more and my love for him has deepened from our early, newlywed time. Definitely better now that in was! Great video guys 😁 so on the nail for how we all seem to act then and now! 😂

My husband still calls me Babe, after 40 years of marriage. I especially loved the fart scene! I think it just shows how comfortable we've become with each other!

I met my husband back in high school so we have definitely grown as people/a couple over all that time. We got one preteen and just enjoying life's adventures as we go. And to spice things up I've gone back to college after being out for 10 years haha

"How are you not bald?!" SOOO HILARIOUS!

"That's my pillow!"...OMG. I totally do that!

OMG. The pillow wall! Relatable, lol!

28 years together and these were spot on especially my wife’s pillow wall and complains about phone brightness

"Little tiny sprinkles of our love" I'm dying

“How are you not bald at this point!?” 😂😂 facts!

My husband and I have been married for 7 years and we are still learning. We grew up quite differently . And learning to deal with that can be so hard to do. But we just grow as best we can. We are committed to each other and we arent going to give up. I think we have both learned a lot about each other and how to like communicate things even if it makes the other person upset . We sit with those feelings.

My marriage is 1000% times better now then at the beginning, my divorce almost 2 yrs ago did wonders 😂. Married to myself now and I’m awesome!!! Robotic Kim is my all time favorite character of all their skits!!!

Celebrating 10 yesrs this year and have mixed feelings about whether it is better than newlyweds. Now we have kids and no free time alone without children. So we love our kids but cherish our alone time. Your parenting videos are so accurate

We have gone through it all together and are stronger now. The key for us is to always put the work in. Our marriage is our most important job. Plus I still like him 😀

22 years married. Sooooooo much happier now! Understanding, communication, maturity!! And those rough patches have truly made us grow together!!!!

Kim's robotic persona is hilarious.

It's been 26 yrs since we were Newlyweds and I agree our marriage is so much better now because we've worked through all those early issues and now we know what makes our better half happiest. It's been a long journey, but it's been worth it.

"My pants fit better!" 😆😂🤣
