My wife & I are in our 60's. Thru the years we sort of lost touch a time or two, but your list is as necessary at our age as it is at yours. Gabe, make a very legitimate effort DAILY to take time with no distractions (kids, phone, tv...) for Jess. Just 30 minutes a day and you will never lose touch with her. When you wife knows you care and take a daily interest in her, your marriage will always be buoyant and problems will be so much easier to handle.
1. Have the same beliefs about marriage 2. Constantly practise each other’s love language 3. Have fun together 4. Kiss more 5. Compliment each other daily 6. Pillow talk check-ins 7. Weekly family meetings 8. Common financial goal 9. Have a family mission statement to help you form yourselves as a team 10. Pray for each other and pray together 11. Accountability 🌸🌸🌸
I’m a new mom and I can definitely say this episode makes me feel like my marriage is actually going through very normal things since we have had our first child. It’s truly about the little things now, like the daily check-ins, kissing, and laughing together. Thank you for this ❤️ being intentional is the biggest thing since it’s so easy to get caught up in the craziness around us
Oh yes. Remember each other, kids are awesome, let the kid(s) keep you together not the other way around. Get the kids to bed EARLY, if it takes to much time to get them to sleep, research how to go get them to go to sleep faster.
16:45 this reminds me of a quote i heard once that goes something like this: "tell your daughter you love her or else a bad guy will and she'll believe him"
You guys have influenced the way I'm thinking about my daily life routine, my relationship with god, and marriage life Thank you for everything 💝💝 Love you so much ❤❤
Those 10 pillars… you two are an AMAZING couple! This entire podcast… EVERYTHING that you have shared & continue to share… THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
34:56 the best advice I heard was “Always own 100% of your 1%” meaning that even if you are right, genuinely evaluate your heart behind the argument and express it through asking for forgiveness no matter what
This is such a bittersweet one for me. I think this might be the best episode so far and I genuinely had to rewind a few times to really internalize the advice you were giving. I feel like this could have saved my relationship with my now ex boyfriend. We were long distance and after some time and space, I really think we essentially broke up over communication issues and lack of intention in our actions. We‘re still on good terms and I pray that we will find our ways back to eachother some day, I really do believe he is the love of my life and that we could have salvaged our relationship with these action points. Thank you so much for sharing this, Jess & Gabe. It was genuinely so insightful ♥️ My parents were very strict when it came to dating (basically was not allowed to make those experiences), so I never really learned enough about what it takes to be in a committed relationship. I believe this will help me with any future relationship, whether it’s with him or someone else.
I love this episode so much! I think it would be so beneficial to us as an audience to be able to see how you conduct your family meetings from a technical stand point, I know for sure my partner and I would love that :)
I’m not even a girlfriend but the way Jess & Gabe lead each other with so much wisdom gives me hope. I’ll definitely be coming back to this video and implementing it into my life when the time comes 😇
Colonel Conte’s 11 secret spices (to a successful marriage) 🍗 but seriousness, we’ve followed you guys with Family Team Meetings and been doing that in our first year of marriage (ours is monthly though and on a notepad). It’s a game changer! Gonna try the system you guys are implementing for our future FTMs, including family values☺️
You two are so great 🤗 I remember both of you mentioning weekly family meetings a while ago and immediately started doing it with my fiance lol. It’s so helpful! We get stuck in a cycle of saying we need to touch base or talk about something but then life gets busy and we forget we never talked! I can’t wait to have children and be able to incorporate them into our family meetings 🥰 Now I want to create family pillars/fundamentals, so cute and wholesome to have as a family :)🤍
I absolutely loved this podcast! Longform content like this is so refreshing in the “tik tok” age. I’m a year into my marriage and really appreciate hearing from another couple how to maintain true to your core values and keep a great support system of friends to hold you accountable throughout the marriage. Love you guys and your love for one another!
Dudes, we made it 15 years together, and seven years of marraige and life broke in between broke us... there was no God interaction with each other, a lot of trauma, and a whole lot of isolation. I hope this episode goes the way I believe it will. Being of the same page, communication, and practice in healing hurts.
Hey Jess and Gabe!! So sorry for all the unnecessary hate that has been put against you guys by all these people who truly do not understand or see your sincere heart in all that you do. People who have genuinely watched you from the start or even new followers, many are so aware of how kind, generous and God fearing you two are. & above all, you are only human, humans make mistakes, and also you have every right to stand on what you believe. In the midst of raising a baby, you keep being present for us, the last thing you deserve is this evil hate. But, all of that does not define you, and many of us are still cheering on you guys and obviously laughing our asses off because of the epic podcasts and videos you post. So, continue being you, Kind, God fearing and friggin' hilarious!!!! 😄😄❤❤
@soumyarabhi so just out of curiosity, why don't people also expect influencers (who support palestine) to give condolences to the lost lives of israeli civilians and babies? both sides are hurting, it's not just one.
@soumyarabhi I guess i just find it gross that it's socially acceptable these days (as an example) for people to spam Palestine messages on an Israeli celebrity's instagram post, like her own people don't matter. People seem to be very vocal about one side (Palestine) and don't mention the other (Israel innocents), but go after people who do the opposite (support Israel and don't mention Palestine innocents).
This was so so sweet and filled with amazing advise 💗 It’s easy to know this is working because you two have an incredible marriage and it shows. Thanks for sharing!! Would love to hear more from you all about highs and lows in your faith life and how you handled it. Shout out fellow Nashville resident 💗 my fam and I also moved from south Florida.
It’s so sad to see how much hatred is being placed on two people because they might have been uninformed on an entire subject… They’re human and make mistakes like any one of us, just because they have a following doesn’t make them “better” or “more knowing” than anyone. I am sure they had true, heart felt intentions. It’s impossible to keep up with every single countries’ oppressive situation and to know the full history. Should they have looked into it before donating? Yeah, i’m sure they did. If they owe anyone an apology, it should be to anyone directly affected, not the people whose feelings got hurt by someone else’s choices.. They don’t owe us anything and shouldn’t have to apologize for their personal life choices.
@soumyarabhiThat was well said! I found a great article that i feel like most christians or anyone interested should check out google “Should we side with israel or palestine” by john piper and it provides a great christian POV, Biblical based article on the war.
@@mariamtarek6029 how do you know they didnt donate anyway? And really?? You're saying it should affect us all?? Did you feel that way with afghanistan, syria, somalia, ukraine and other countries?? No right? You only know palestine cause now its oddly a trend that everyone starts putting things on their profile pictures and commenting on every single comment section about free palestine, and in a few months ALL of you will forget about it cause the trend is gone again while they are still suffering, so dont you dare talk like you care so much and you are actually doing something and telling us and j&g that this should affect us all cause i am more than sure you did not open a single inch of your mouth and dared to type a comment like this when other countries are also still suffering
I definitely don’t agree with Gabe about Ahsoka… BUT, ANDOR was amazing. I wish more of the newer Star-wars series were made like that. 😎 I’m disappointed because Ahsoka is one of my favorite characters of all time, but hopefully they’ll make other series that are stronger in the future, to each their own 😂 Jess, if you see this, please give the original trilogies a chance, I promise you’ll love it😊❤️ My husband and I are Star Wars fans, and it’s honestly so nice being able to bond over the movies :) talk about some good “quality time”😂
- Gabriel, as a Star Wars fan, I highly recommend the Clone Wars animated series. (And Rebels lol) Once you get passed the first two seasons it’s really good. The first two szn are important for context tho btw.
Do you guys think it would be a good idea to do family team meetings that include your child when they get older maybe not finances unless they want to learn 🤷🏽♀️
love the podcasts and members club!!! while there is a lot going on right now, there’s still the joy of the Lord in the midst of it all, thanks for displaying that 🤍
They have recently made comments expressing that they believe Arabs are racially inferior so it makes sense that they don’t cater for us. It’s really upsetting.
I don't usually comment but that's what I thought! I've followed them for years and I don't recall them ever acknowledging the LGBTQIA community. No hate either I just don't know where they stand?
@@annakay7765they are a christian couple and probably align themselves with that ideology regarding the lgbtqia community and don’t speak on it. I’m sure they don’t hate the lbgtqia community regardless.
Not everyone believes in the premises of LGBTQ etc etc. actually, the majority of humans don’t stand for it. Jess and Gabe are entitled to that belief/opinion/freedom of thinking. If you want LGBTQ-“affirming” content creators, I’m sure there are plenty out there 😊
@@Beth11111 you dont even know where they stand since they've never spoken about it, and i never said they arent allowed to have freedom of thinking? dont reach and dont come here with data that comes from ur head ^-^
@@annalaurafaria2247 if they openly profess as Christian, there’s no question where they stand. Or at least where they should stand. But I understand why they wouldn’t want to be vocal on it with such a large platform as theirs out of fear of being “cancelled”. Obviously I can’t speak directly for them, but I can speak for Christians on a whole 😊 Also, by saying your original comment in a tone of disappointment, entitlement and expectation for them to hold a certain view, and that if they don’t, you imply judgement… then that is exactly what it means to not allow someone to have their own freedom of thinking. Not here for a fight, just here to stand up for the beliefs of Christians and bringing light to situations like this 😊
i know you're just talking from experience, but i just find it curious how you don't ever acknowledge lgbtqia+ relationships. it's always "husband and wife" just a thought, love you guys 🩷
Imagine if they catered to every single variation of relationships other than the one that they embody. They have no experience with other types of relationships, so it would be wise for you to seek that out from people on social media who are in other relationships that aren't heterosexual x
They are vocally Christian. It’s as easy as that. God explicitly says any relations outside the context of a man and woman are sinful. Society today likes to overcomplicate it or ignore it. True Christians are called to LOVE other people by correcting them and showing them the truth so that the other person won’t live in deception, temptation, and ultimately sin. Unfortunately that means people feelings might get “hurt”, but it’s out of love that we might not indulge in those conversations/fantasies for the sake of “inclusivity”. Sure, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but no one is entitled to their own reality. ☺️
Any relationship, no matter man with a woman, man with a man, woman with a woman and so on are love. There's nothing sinful about that. Its just LOVE. Exactly what Christianity is supposed to be about
What a thought that people can stand for different things. 🇮🇱🇮🇱 Media is twisted all the time to make things seem a certain way. It’s up to us to look into things deeper and use our discernment to make our own decisions. Don’t like someone’s views? No harm having a discussion but why belittle.
Loved this episode so much! I had my notes app open just making notes for my relationship :) I loved hearing your take on topics such as finance discussions etc so thanks for mentioning sources such as Every dollar App tha is super helpful.
Broke up with my fiance, relationship of 7 years, because he's a non believer and our difference in values really shone through during wedding planning. You were my favorite RU-vidrs when I was in college. Thoguht of you guys just then. Needed this episode, thank you. God bless your work.
I adore you guys! Although I have noticed that Jess has been making more fun of Gabriel and for some reason it rubs me the wrong way lol! It doesn’t feel sweet but more on the side of demeaning. Just my perception of it
These episodes are so great! You two would be INCREDIBLE mentors to young couples (I know you guys are young but even newlyweds, etc) because of how much you've learned during your relationship thus far. But then I was thinking, this podcast IS a mentorship! I learn so much from your relationship, advice, and how you do things and am implementing it into my life/future plans. So thank you for making a free, easily accessible mentoring space. You guys are really the best and I'm so glad you're able to bless others with what God has blessed you with♥
Thanks for sharing. I think 7 years nowadays is a long time! Specially for people that get married younger. You two have done so well, specially being public people. . I appreciate all the advise you two share, specially being in the same age group and in similar seasons of life. You can always always learn something from others.
