The TRUTH about getting married at 19 & 20 | The Beeston Fam 

My husband and I were 19 and 18 when we married 51 years ago in June. Everyone thought it wouldn’t last.

My husband and I got married 6 months after meeting. We were married 37 years and couldn’t have kids, so we got ginormous dogs. Ray unexpectedly died at the end of 2020, I’m heartbroken, but I had the most amazing, loving husband and he’s in Heaven. I’m still a hot mess, but I’m able to talk about him without being hysterical. Day by day and sometimes hour by hour. One and done.

I couldn't decide if Derek or Sarah was the lucky one. Now I realize it's Jack.

My husband and I got married after knowing each other 9 days. I was 19 and he was 21. It’s almost our 46th anniversary. I still adore my handsome, gentleman husband.

My mom and dad were 14 and 15 respectively, were married for 58 years. They passed away 47 days apart. So in 48 years they were only apart for 47 days! You guys act so much like they did!

🌻I was 17 and my hubby was 21. Been married now for 44 years! It’s not always a cake walk. Change together. ♥️

My husband and I got married at 18 and 20... we are 20 years strong and just paid off our house. 5 kids 2 in college and loving life.

I got married young. I was 19 and my boyfriend was 21. 40 years strong and 9 grandchildren later. Compromise is key. Still madly in love. With God all things are possible ❤️🙏🏻

Hubby and I married as teens ... 40 years ago. Still in love with this noble, decent, humble man. I have two sons exactly like him. I'm a lucky lucky woman.

My parents were married in their early 20's. Celebrated their 62nd anniversary last year.

I was 19 and my husband was 20. Yes we heard the same thing as y’all did. The arrangement was that I would stay in college while my husband would work full time. First question asked was do you have to get married. The answer was no. We want to. I did become pregnant with our first child 9 months after we were married. His father told us that marriage is not a bed of roses. I answered back with that it was. A bed of roses have thorns. Things that do happen. We also heard that it would not last because we were too young and didn’t know what we wanted. We have been married for 46 years. Yes it has been rough and ups and downs. But would not have it any other way. If y’all would accept one thing about marriage, I would say for a successful marriage is to have God at the center of your marriage. Money means very little to us today. It is spending time together. Just love each other and ALWAYS tell each other that you love them everyday!!! Don’t get upset with little things and be very appreciative over thoughtful things.

Got married at 18 and 20 and will be celebrating 10 years this year. Been together 14 years total. Best decision I have ever made. Nobody thought we would make it either.

I'm so glad, I found your channel. My hubby and I got married young as well. We were 19 and 21, and this June it will be our 27 yrs. anniversary. We didn't have an accident to deal with. I do understand growing up together and learning as you go. I was diagnosed with some pretty major health conditions that we've had to learn to deal with these last 10 yrs. I think learning together has become second nature to us because of learning together young. Just remember that you're in love and that will always help.

My husband and I got married when I was 19 and he was 22! We have been together for 36 years! Best wishes for you guys!!

I love how you both are AUTHENTIC!! Always be PROUD of your marriage and celebrate your love! Please don’t allow the “social norms” pressure you into anything! I absolutely believe your partnership is the “right way” grow /learn together this builds a solid family union. The best gift you can give your children is a solid union with each other.

Like so many others that have commented....I was just 19 (by 2 wks) and hubby was just 21 --- it was good yet hard to be married young. And he was in the Navy, and left for a 7mo deployment right after our 1st anniversary. I agree, getting married young was the best decision we made, yes it was hard at times, but it lasted thru 8moves (including to Guam), 2 kids, and then I lost him to cancer just shy of our 45th anniversary. Enjoy your lives as much as you've been doing.

I got pregnant at 18 and unfortunately our plan fell through because of outside influences, but when our son was 8 months old, and we were 19 and 20 years old, we finally tied the knot. We’re now almost 21 and 22 and expecting baby #2!

17 and 19 when we got married...only knew each other 4 months...celebrated 33 years in February😍

I have seen you two on tik tok and as im in my early 50's is so heartwarming to see you as a young couple, you are such a positive role model to your peers in a world where so much is fake and family values are somewhat lost. your parents must be very proud ❤

18 and 20.. been married 18 years now.. half of my life! After adventures and two children, I can’t imagine it any differently! Looking forward to the rest of our days together.

I meet my husband when I was 17 he was 18- I fell pregnant after 5 months of dating and let’s say we had another 2 more children - THEN we got married when I was 23 - I’m 37 now so 20 years together married 14years (this year in dec ) Age isn’t a huge thing in my book it’s wether or not your mature enough and love each other enough to make it work - opinions of others are just that opinions - you do what works for you - and looks like it work for you guys

My older sister married at 16 she was pregnant she is still married today to a amazing guy for 50 plus years now it works.

We married in less then 6 months at 18 and 25. We just celebrated our 34th. It is a commitment. We have raised 6 kids, they are all well adjusted successful adults. We’ve done a great job. We finally are back to the two of us again, and it’s great. I think people don’t realize that it’s really hard sometimes. You have to continually better yourself. Keep yourself interesting for each other. Learn to talk and listen. I wish people could all experience what it is to have this life partner, that always has your back. Is always there for you. I dread the day one of us dies and the other has to go on.

My husband was 19 and I 16 when we got married. That was 48 years ago. We have 3 wonderful children and the cutest grandchildren in the whole world. Like every couple we've had our ups and downs but our love and commitment to each other gets stronger every day.

Thanks for not being afraid to touch on the harder times! We definitely all go through some version of it in our marriages and relationships, and social media can make a lot of us forget that it’s normal to go through difficult things and not feel completely happy all the time. Love following you guys! I wish we lived in Hawaii so we could be friends. 😂❤️

As a 50+ year old, non-grandma- I’ve fallen for Jack! Thank you both for sharing Jack with your social community!!!

You both have figured out “the secret to life” Perseverance, commitment, trust, respect for yourself and each other, live in the moment. You are more mature within yourselves and together as a couple than many adults I know still struggling to cope with life. God Bless you, your forever youthfulness, and commitment to raising well adjusted, kind, loving children. Jack will be surfing soon in a video and I look forward to seeing that! 🤙🏼🌸🌊

I was 18 and my husband was 23 and we've been married for 16 years. Had a ton of people say it wouldn't last and it was just puppy love and we're the only ones in our friend group who are still happily married.

thank you so much for this video.. my husband and i got married a year ago last weekend, he was 22 and i was 20. so much of what you’ve said has resonated with me and has given me peace - our first year has been so difficult and i find myself comparing myself to other couples marriages often. thank you for being honest!!❤️

NO ONE knows down the road what’s going to happen. Life is short. Live it and love it to the fullest.

There is constructive arguing, (listing pros and cons to come to a final decision and expressing your feelings about each idea) and then there is attack arguing. Make sure you don't mentally or emotionally or psychologically attack each other when you disagree. I like to use the "This is what I heard you say, this is what I think you mean, is that correct?" conversation; so you never have misunderstandings or assume each others thoughts and feelings. You never want to think 20 years from now; at what point did I or my spouse become each others enemy. I love the way that both of you have learned to solve life's problems together and work together to make decisions. That is what a successful love story is all about. I love hearing your stories! Yes, it does give others strength to see that. You also give your viewers a lot to smile and laugh about in a discouraging world. Thank you for that.

I’ve just come across your channel, Started looking at your birth story (I’m 7 weeks with my 3rd) so wanted to watch someone else’s story.. I’m SO glad to hear that you’re part of a church and wanted to honour God in the way you approached marriage. It’s refreshing! Love how genuine this channel is and you don’t try to be perfect. Psalm 91, is a perfect psalm to read when you feel anxious in life. Gods got you both, just keep humble and obedient 💕 God bless you and your family. Love from the UK 🇬🇧 🕊🤍

Thanks for the video and for sharing! I also got married young, and we've known each other since we were 15; its been 17 years together now, and we are only stronger together as the time goes by! It's awesome to hear how it was for other young married couples to handle family and friends reactions to marrying young.

Talking about your journey is helping so many people. Thank you for your honesty in relationship talk. Keeping it real is important and that's what you do through good times and bad, everything always works out more than fine.

I LOVE hearing your insights. I'm 39- been engaged three times(ouch- I know), never married, no kids. A while back I had this epiphany that not every person has a "soulmate" or is meant to be married.... And it changed my entire outlook on things. I rededicated my life to Christ and focused on building myself up. If someone comes along... Maybe we'll see. But at this point I'm so fiercely independent I don't see it happening. It's fascinating to see people so far on the other end of that spectrum. I NEVER watch "family vloggers"- they feel so artificial and money driven... But finding your shorts.... The love you have for one another and for tiny Jack dude radiates from you! The love of Christ is powerful within you and you're just such a breath of fresh air in this crazy RU-vid world. All the best to you beautiful people!💖💖

I'm 43 years old and never been married. But let me just say that u 2 are so inspiring. I don't follow many people on RU-vid I'm mostly on here for business but one day I saw one of the short videos sara made about her husband with their baby while she was at work and it absolutely touched my ♡ when I watched it. U both are such wonderful parents and have a beautiful little guy. I see so many fake people and couples just wanting views on RU-vid but when I watch u guys I feel such a sense of realism that is super hard to find these days- thank u for sharing your lives with everyone out there. For me I found hope that one day I can have something as amazing as what I see between the 2 of you! I feel like when God created each of u he definitely had the other one in mind. I've never seen a more amazing union between 2 people or a more beautiful family. I definitely think that you have something very special and I wish your little family nothing but total happiness and love for all the years to come. I look forward to watching your videos when I have the chance. I always feel more positive and actually happier afterwards. Thank you for touching my life without even knowing it. Bless you

My husband and I were 21 and 22 when we married and we're heading to 31 years this year and are still in love x 2 beautiful son's 28 and 25 , don't listen to anyone, stay in love, stay happy xx

I was 28 my husband was 36. He proposed after 2 weeks. We were married 9 months later. We will be celebrating 37 years of marriage in September. When it's right you know it. Anne

We got married at 19 and 21, and have been going for 12 years and counting!! 4 kids later and our home is a strong and happy place. In our culture getting married young is normal for exactly the reasons you said, you grow together, you don't come in with preconceived ideas and you are ready to set out in life together. You share all of your dreams and they become your shared dreams. So happy that you guys are really happy together, love your videos!! Jack is divine!! Good luck

Hi guys. The first time I got married, I was 21 and he was 24. We separated one week shy of our 2nd anniversary. I was way too immature for marriage. The second, and last time, I got married, I was 35 and he was 50. We've now been married 21 years, but it hasn't been easy. I found out in 2001 that I have some brain damage. When my mom was pregnant with me, she had 2 heart attacks in her 6th month. They really didn't know that much about brain damage back then, so I was labeled a difficult child. Now that I know, I'm constantly working on myself. I feel like I relate to Derek in that area. Keep working on yourself. It's all worth it in the end.

I love how authentic and genuine your beautiful family is ❤

Oh you guys, I'm so glad I found your channel. You brighten up my days with your beautiful energy and the love that pours out from you both (Jack too, of course). Thank you for sharing your lives, and for just being so amazing. My heart goes out to you all, much love 💕

I just love you guys! And Derek, your mission trip was cut short but now you're on a new mission with your wife. Sharing these videos is life changing, so thank you.

you two are SO much better equipped now to handle the lows & rough patches. always remember WHY you're together: you adore each other, you're best friends, & now you have a family. one should never want to hurt the other, especially deliberately. you're much stronger together because of this deep love you share. even external crises, like economic, pandemic, even if we experience shortages, & other bad scenarios... you'll be stronger to get thru it, together. when others panic or flip out in other ways, you keep your wits together & protect the family. I was so happy hear about you both being committed to your faith! I pray that God always abundantly blesses you, not necessarily with $, but with always strengthening you & protecting you. with Christ as your foundation, you'll have a wonderful life together. love you guys! so glad I found your channel. I'm a 60 yrs old, single now, soon to be GREAT GRANDMA (G-Nana or GG) we call it in our fam. I was young when married but it failed for VERY different reasons than many. I'll always cherish what we had and i adore my children and grandchildren. most of us are Christians, we have amazing relationships & love for those who either aren't there yet or may go a different path. I implore EVERYONE, no matter what your personal situation is, listen to these 2, see what they've built together as a family, & hear how they relate to one another. lessons all would do well to consider. Beestons: much love to you! stay happy & stay well. I'll remember you in my personal prayers. 🙏🏼😇

Love this family, stay Happy forever!!!!We got married at a young age also. 41 years and still going. Keep the communications going.

I’m a new subscriber and I just obsessed with how adorable your family is and the love you’ll show each other. What a blessing

I love your videos. My husband and I also got married at 19 and 20, 11 years ago. My family thought I was crazy, maybe I was. But we have lasted this long due to our undying love for each other. We’ve been through rough times but have gotten through them together. I went through a phase where I thought we wouldn’t be able to have kids but 9 years after we got married I found out we were finally pregnant and our little girl was born in May 2020 💜 and now we have baby girl #2 due in about a month. I love seeing how Jack is growing up and is the same age as our little girl. Every video I see of yours is so relatable and I love sharing them with my husband and having a good laugh. You guys are amazing and so blessed.

My son and daughter-in-law started dating when they were 16 and 19 and were married at 20 and 23. They are very much in love and compatible. You have the same connection they do. I love watching your videos. You are real people and very positive role models. You are setting a great example for other young people. Sometimes you just know and taking a leap of faith is the only course of action. You are lovely people!❤️

So kind of you both to be so open and vulnerable ! I am an orthodox Jewish woman . We also get married fairly young and do not have sex before marriage. We often talk in our community about the first year being difficult and a huge adjustment. We don’t really view it as a “honey moon “ period . Continue growing together and may G-D bless you all with health , complete recovery , joy, laughter and all the good things He offers in this world !!!

Even they got married young, they seem to be very responsible and love each other. I am usually against young marriage, like for me 23+ would be fine. But there are exceptions like them, because they cherish each other.

I don't know where I've been on you tube and how I could have NOT discovered such a sweet,funny and positive family!! From the first video I happened to catch, I could see the beautiful light of God all over you and your precious baby! Oh my 🌟 stars! He is the happiest baby I've ever seen clearly because he knows how loved and secure he is!! And @60 yrs.old,I can tell that you have THAT element to make it.. come what may! Do any of us know what will happen even tomorrow? My heart ❤ melted in one of the videos that daddy was coming home as mommy and baby waited on the balcony! I heard Derek yell,"BUDDDIEEEE!!!" as he ran to you both! I rewound it at least 5 times and lol'd!! JOY is the best description upon meeting you and thank you for sharing! I sneak peeked ahead and by now,I think you have another gift from Heaven on the way..aawww!!! I have been blessed and look forward to catching up on where you have been and are now! Sending peace☮ love🥰 &harmony 🕊🌈🌏

I really like the idea your church has. Doesn't seem like anyone does what you guys did anymore. knowing you guys waited is like a breath of fresh air!! Love you guys lots!!💞

The first year of marriage... when you do it in the right way...is the hardest. You both are doing pretty awesome at being raw and him.

I am not in a relationship. not planning to be in one anymore, but I love watching happy couples like you. you guys keep my heart warm because I really feel the love you have for each other. I'm glad you found each other.

I'm in a life crisis at the moment with several Operations around the corner but until then in much pain and discomfort where I am scared everyday having to wake up trying to overcome so many physical disabilities.... Just watching your family and particularly Derek flight his way back is really great therapy and diversion gives me renewed hope... So thank you for sharing

Thak you for trusting us so much with your family is a blessing to me. I'm 59yrs old and when I'm feeling depressed I watch yall. It cheers me up. Again thank you from the bottom of my ❤ Kathy

I can see how much you guys love each other and your little boy is just the cutest! Thanks so much for sharing your story. Usually, I don’t have an interest in watching life stories but as a couple with family, you guys are such an amazing force and also that you are Christians. You guys are truly such an inspiration to everyone, young and old. I have always wanted to text messages to you guys but it has taken me soooo long to find out how to. I have a new phone and a different make and I am not computer literate at all ha ha!! 😂❤

You two are very sweet! Keep communicating and LAUGHING. It's what makes the sauce so awesome. LOL Jack's smiling face at the camera! I can't wait for Derik's story.

How real, raw and refreshingly beautiful your relationship is with each other. Stay open to your changes in life.. and remember times like this! You will constantly face changes, frustrations, joys. Just hug and accept and respect! Your already so far ahead in each other's hearts!! Stay true, stay real! And thank you!! ❤️

you two had the good juju between each other and the moral mojo to commit, something that is very rare in our generation. you also have the maturity and know how to use it to have it go well and support each other and love each through whatever life may hold. and talk to each other when it isn'xt working. and to truly value what you bring to the table for each other. Seriously impressed. keep on defying the trend.

Jack Jack is so cute! It’s so amazing how Derik and Jack have such an amazing bond! Your family is adorable

I was 17 and my husband 20. Next year we will celebrate 50 years of ups and downs but lots of love!

Good decision girl about keeping fears aside regarding the unknown. Keep love, understanding, courage and support alive in your family and life will be worth a shot. This is for both of you dear young parents. Don't be scared, fears should not have any space in one's life. I support your life's decision - marriage and Jack at young age. Just be calculative enough for each aspect of your lives, and be prepared for the fluctuations of life. Three of you are lovely souls and don't worry everything will be great... Last but not least - COMMUNICATION solves many many issues. Be open to talk to each other about issues, meaningful communication. Husband and wife are the main pillars of any family.... Keep things strong among yourselves. Loads of love to all of you esp. "Jack the heart stealer" 💕

Nobody’s marriage is perfect and everyone fights but it is how u fight. Arguing and “fighting” is healthy if u are doing the right way and u still respect each other. Burying feelings or trying not to talk about issues or pretend they are not there is the sure way to get divorced. It is a testament to y’all’s love and resilience that u are growing and learning together. But in the same token, y’all are the exception and young people need to really think before they leap! Sounds like y’all had incredible family support which also helps when u get married that young and of course ur core beliefs are the same. And I believe that is very very important! Wishing y’all many more years of happiness and love!!!❤️

Sarah, you’re very adorable. You both are. You’re such a girl. LOL. You guys are a bright light in a pretty dark world.

My husband and I were 16 when we met, 19 when we got married and just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Best wishes to your beautiful family.

Can't tell you how RELATABLE this is and how reassuring it is. I remember someone I really look up to told me Christian marriages don't go through the honeymoon phase because the last thing the devil wants is for two people to work out their humility and become one flesh with one another in every sense. My husband and I are coming up on 2 years. And the first year was really hard. Lots of fights, but always an underlying true love of knowing we could and would get through it. Working out those emotional, spiritual, physical challenges up front has made us so much stronger and more harmonious in our second year of marriage. We are now finding a groove and a rhythm where respect and love trump the small frustrations etc. But point being....your experience I feel is so sober and reveals the real struggle of really cutting ones will to strengthen the marriage and partnership and learning to understand one another etc...All that stuff that is hard to work through, but creates a truly lasting marriage. Also LOVE your point that fights WILL HAPPEN. I am always skeptical when people say they never ever fight with their significant other. Fighting will happen. You just gotta fight fair and come out the other side together. Anyhow, you both seem so lovely and real and i've been enjoying your family videos and your baby journeys since we are expecting a little boy soon :) God bless you guys and your family and I really do wish ya'll the absolute best in life, marriage, and parenting :)

Oh how beautiful day you three had. It was. I've started watching & both of you are the same age my sister & her husband were when they were married. Three yrs. later they had their 1st child. In October it will be their 50th wedding anniversary. Best to you both and Gods blessings to you also!!!❤

Thank you for sharing your marriage testimony. This is so encouraging ♥️ thank you for being a light in the youtube community. God loves you guys

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! My husband and I got married at 18 and 19, and can definitely say that all of this is so true! It was super hard just having family doubt your decision, but trusting the Lord with it cleared so much doubt for us!! Living life and making those big decisions together is great and wouldn't have it any other way!! So glad you guys are sharing your story, it helps reaffirm others like myself that marriage doesn't have to follow the same timeline as everyone else! You guys rock! :)

We got married at 18 and 19, Paid less than $1k for our own wedding and made it 33 years. When you know, you know. 🥰. Love and blessings to this beautiful family.

Im so glad I found you guys! This was a total blessing, I needed to hear what you talked about. Thank you for helping me see the hand of Heavenly Father in my life today!

my husband & i were 19 & 21 when we got married! 6 months later we moved from Fl to Oahu. my family was very negative about it. this summer we celebrate 4 years of marriage & our sons 1st birthday this October! i think now my family sees that it was the best thing for the both of us. i wouldnt change a thing about getting married young & the struggles that came along with it.

My husband and I were 20 and 21. I had just turned 20 in July when we got married in September. So many people said it wouldn't last (even though at that point we'd been dating for 2 years!)... We'll be celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary this September!! Neither of us would change a thing, because it's made us who we are today. We grew up together, learned how to be an adult and have supported each other through everything! Marriage is extremely hard work, but with every effort that's put into it! The vows we spoke that day are very sacred, for which we don't take lightly! So, divorce is never an option for either of us! "For richer or poorer, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health" Kudos to you both for taking that leap of faith! 🥰 I feel like I should add that we started saying I love you after 1 week of dating and he proposed about 2 weeks after that. We graduated high school and after 2 years then got married. 🤗

💍💖 Y’all are the most AMAZING and special couple!! I have no doubt you’ll always be together and that you’ll have a healthy relationship, because it’s SO apparent from your videos that y’all are a “team.” You respect and care about each other, which means you can get through any argument or hardship. My parents were married at 19 & 20 and are about to celebrate their 55th anniversary! They are a team also, and they do everything together!! They truly are tied at the hips! God bless y’all and your amazing family! I’m so happy you found each other! 🙏🏻

So Happy for you guys❣️ Keep doing what you’re doing, working together as a couple, learning and growing together, taking care of each other and your precious little family, trusting God above all, He has you in his hands🙏🏻♥️ Love watching y’all’s videos and your Beeston siblings as well! Love the Hawaii videos so much, takes me back to the years we lived there on Oahu in the 90’s; our daughter was born there❣️🥰Beautiful memories♥️

Awesome! Thanks for always being yourselves and honest!

You are the epitome of a great Family! Thank you for brightening my Days.

I love your attitude! Sometimes you just have to live without fear, trust your instinct, and have faith that you are doing what's right. That's what has kept me and my husband of almost 30 years going. Ups and downs, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. 🥰

Being transparent is so needed, y'all's honesty is an example to many. Suppressing feelings, instead of expressing them up front honestly, is what has caused so much destruction in marriages, families, friendships, business partners, Ministries, etc. Facing every issue head on chosing to put Jesus at the center of All circumstances & challenges brings understanding, healing, healthy communication, growth & mature relationship. God Bless You both for sharing your life, your testimonies, it does Minister Truth to many that are struggling. Your transparency let's others know they are not alone & that ignoring, giving up, stuffing or running away is not the answer. God Bless you both & your Family.

Awwww, good on you !! The love shines...l turned 18 and hubby ❤ was 19 , High school sweethearts. We had 37 years growing up together (he passed at age 55.we had two girls and two boys, and now lm a great‐gramma almost 82....Our first year was our worst also.! If you're life is half the adventure ours was, your life will be epic. Blessings, love and long ❤ life to you !!!

Can't wait to hear your story. Fellow TBI survivor here!

Your both like psychologists, teachers, coaches, and fashion enthusiasts all wrapped in one. Keep positive. You're great parents too. Don't compare. Comparing steals your true joy which is what you already have. You've achieved this much, you're way ahead of those who don't have what you have. Keep livin the dream.

My grandmother got married to my grandfather when she was 17, when my grandfather was 60 (before i was born) he had a head trauma and because of that became a whole new person. Yet i have never seen people love each other more than my grandparents. The way my grandmother never had the feeling to let him go. And always took care of him.

AS LONG AS YOU GUYS HAVE "LOVE" IN YOUR FAMILY, EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT IN THE END!! YOU CAN DO THIS SARAH AND DERIK!!! MAKING US BELIEVE IN LOVE AND FAMILY IN PANDEMIC ERA!! LOVE Y'ALL BUNCHES!! # THIS LIFE'S REALLY A BEACH!!!! 💯👍✌️🥰🌈💙💙💙💙👣👣🙏

We were both 20 when we married in 1983. My husbands coworkers put bets on how long we’d last. Being military we lost touch with them but chuckle every anniversary about who’s winning the bet! ❤️Still married! Some days are harder than others but a vow is a vow and we put the Lord in the center of our marriage. Blessings to y’all and your beautiful family.When things are hard pray together and pray for each other!

Hearing your story and reading all these comments about y'all's marriages makes me excited for a marriage I don't have yet but I hope to have one day. Sometimes I get the feeling marriage only is hard because my parents seem to be fighting all the time. As a young adult I find it hard to watch their fights

Thank you for sharing and being transparent. Blessings and favor prayed over you. 🙏 We were engaged after 2 months, married 4 months later and we were 19 and 23. Our family and friends kept telling us to wait. We knew it was right. We’ve had our struggles, but we wouldn’t change anything. God is so good and has always been there and helped us through. We have 2 wonderful sons, a daughter-in-law and granddaughter now. We are blessed! We are about to celebrate 33 years 😀

I'm so happy and excited for your future together!!! Yes you are a young couple but you are setting such an awesome example for others to follow. Blessings and love 💕 Beautiful family

Your story telling abilities is fantastic. I am so enjoying getting to know your little family. Jack is a sweetheart ❤️

Appreciate how honest and open you are!

I’m so happy for you guys, there is so much love and light in your relationship. Your a joy to watch.

Thank you guys for sharing the ups and downs of a relationship/marriage. It’ll help a lot of people. You guys are awesome ❤️

My parents were 16 and 18 when they met, 18 and 20 when they married. This year is their 64th wedding anniversary. They've overcome so many hurdles in their lives, but come through stronger every time. Love overcomes all ♥️ I wish you both a long and blissful life together 🤗

You guys are the role model for all married couples! Thank you for your honesty! Congrats to both of you! We love you! ❤️ 🙏 💕

I‘m always so impressed by you as a couple and as parents. I think ist doesn’t matter how old you were - your strength is the way you talk with each other . And I‘ve never seen a father so in love with his children like Derek in my hole life!

I was pregnant on my wedding day, while I married an eighteen-year-old and I was twenty. I totally know where Sarah is coming from because it is scary to put a lot of trust in someone to make sure our family was going to be secure. Now my husband is a fourth-year medical student going to be a surgeon soon and I am on my way to becoming a special education teacher. Life gets pretty complicated but it is also nice when people are genuine and honest about hard times because we all have them and instead of judging, it is nice to feel that we are not the only ones who are struggling.

New sub here, I've seen many of your Shorts so often over the last year and a half, so I decided to take a look into your channel. I know that this video is old, but for you to understand why I felt compelled to leave a comment on this particular one, please don't write this off. My Granddady was a bishop/pastor for so many years, even after retirement he still went to old country churches when theirs was sick or on vacation and kept himself ordained in order to marry most of my cousins and other family members... He met my Grandmama when he was in 8th grade, then they remet when he was 18. In those days, she thought she'd be "an old maid" at 17 and unwed. They dated a few months and married on his 19th birthday. He passed away in March, and she just passed away a few days before my father's birthday in October. My father is the oldest of 6 kids 14 grandchildren, and 17 great grandchildren they were able to meet. They married in 1952, and had the pandemic kept them from being able to go to routine doctor appointments, the Cancer that he had would have been cought and treatable. My Grandmama had cancer in her eye, that had been treated, but was warned that it was known to metastasize mainly in the liver...

I think you are showing us all how important communication is to a successful marriage. 💙

I love this family, I am ALOT older but them talking about maturing into their marriage was so beautifully stated. YOUR marriage will stand the test of time, because you have the secrets so many young kids don't. God bless you three. Can't wait til you get a girl to the family!!! Thanks for sharing the beauty of your relationship....it makes me smile all thru the day.
