I got married at 18, my husband was 19. We just celebrated 15 years in August. I don't think getting married young is for everyone, but it can definitely work. He is my absolute favorite human on the planet and I'm so so happy with him every day. Everyone thought we were crazy, but we were just crazy about each other!
So are you 33? I am too but this year will be my 4th anniversary. I had to wait for my favorite person, I wish I would've found mine when I was younger.
Yes! And maybe with more of the technical details of all the home renos. I would love to learn from his skills, from painting basics to how he made those corner shelves!
I think getting married young is so underrated. People spend their whole lives looking for their other halves... if you meet yours young, why would you let them go?! I love my husband so much and I couldn’t imagine not having him. Marriage has been hard but I wouldn’t trade it for the world❤️ 4 years together 01/22/2021!! Happy anniversary to you two as well🥳
This is true but sometimes people think they found the right person but they are wrong lol. I met my first real boyfriend at 17 and we were together til I was 28. We never got married and thank goodness. I met my now husband a few years after the breakup and we are deliriously happy with a 16 month old
Yes! I got married at 19 to my high school sweetheart and I’ve never had a single regret. There’s something so special about learning and growing up with the person you love!
i dont think its underrated: that's not for everybody. i am 33 right now i i feel like at 19 some people dont even know themselves yet. however, there are others that are more mature an it works out. In my opinion, 19 its waaaay to young. I wouldnt want to date just one person. but that is my own personal opinion.
My husband and I have a shared bank account, but we still have our own separate accounts that we had before getting married. We both set up an automatic deposit into the shared account each paycheck and all the bills are taken out automatically out of that account. So we share all the bill responsibilities while still retaining our financial independence. We don’t have kids though so I assume if/when we do, the only thing that will change is the amount we deposit into the shared account will increase. We think it’s important to work as a team but grow as individuals as well. Most of my friends share bank accounts with their spouses because it’s what everyone else does. But the thing they argue about most is money. So I think every couple should do things in a way that works best for them, rather than the “traditional” way because it’s what everyone else does.
We also have a shared bankaccount that we use for almost everything, but have kept our 'old' accounts. Our paychecks and everything goes into the shared account, and then we put a small percentage of income into our 'old' accounts as 'pocketmoney'. This way, we have money to spend that we don't need to discuss or argue about. I would never spend much money on electronics for instance and we might have fights about it if he were to spend it from the shared account, but now I can enjoy him being happy with his electronics, as he bought them from his pocket money. I can buy fabrics for sewing whatever I want, it's my pocket money. Etc etc. Saves us a lot of hassle from working with two accounts, and arguements from working with only one account.
Watching this truly breaks my heart I feel I’ve been in denial for so many years about my relationship and marriage. This makes me realize that I’m not in the healthiest relationship and the best thing for me would be to walk away from this. Also writing this 4 months post partum with our second child. My heart is so broken but I do believe god led me to finding your channel and there’s a reason why I was presented with this content.
😔 I've been where you are. After my second child I realised I married the wrong man and lived in regret until I built the courage to kick him out. It's not easy and I wish I had married my best friend from the beginning (who I'm now with). If you ever need a listening ear, happy to listen 💖 sending you lots of love
I would like to add if it's unhealthy it can BECOME healthy through work and counseling. I know there's extreme cases where you just need to get out but if it's not in that place. I would look into Marriage Team or some kind of couples counseling. Things can get better if both are willing and even if only you make changes, YOU can be happier and healthier even if he doesn't. ❤️ I just care and don't want you to give up if there's a way things can better. For my and my husband Marriage Team changed our marriage and we are incredibly happy.
I love that Zach's answer for marrying you was that he just wanted to be with you. That's how my husband and I felt. We got married at 19 and 21, and it was the best decision. Sometimes I think people over complicate things when it comes to commitment and marriage. With God at the center, good communication, and just a desire to be with them and love them- that is enough!
Super duper common for kids raised in strict Christian communities to marry very young. Sex plays a humongous roll in that and it also means people stay together morbidly unhappy because “we don’t believe in divorce”. Personally I think it’s sad. I was raised in that kind of community and was called and old maid to my face when I was 23 and not married yet. I have no use for that mentality any more in my life.
That’s what you got from this sweet video? I agree with you in a way but clearly they have a healthy happy marriage and no matter what age or what the motivation is, the same elements need to be present to make a relationship work, even outside a strict community.
Happy anniversary! I loved seeing your chemistry in this, and hearing your honest and raw answers was hilarious 😂. Thanks for being a great representation of a Christian marriage - two imperfect people committed to each other, loving each other through thick and thin, and not remembering past arguments!
I total agree with Zach’s quality he admires about you! You’re so humble and kind! When you replied to my Instagram message I was honestly shocked 😳 I never thought you would even see it let alone reply! So humble! A beautiful soul!! ❣️❣️
I was 20 and my husband was 21 when we got married. We're coming up on our 10 year anniversary in March and expecting our first baby in May. He's still my favorite person and I can't imagine being with anyone else.
They're just the cutest!😍 I got married with 18 with full support from both families, which is very young for a lot of people. But we're so happy and know how blessed we are!❤
Would love to see a passion project by Zack on this channel! Like a video or video series that's really driven by him. I'm curious what his style is beyond b-roll and what he wants to contribute.
My husband and I met at 15 and got married right after high school. We are now 21 and have three boys. Its tough growing up with someone and accepting the new phases of life as they come and we change but its been so rewarding.❤ also I'm a fellow Mennonite mama and i love your channel!
Just want to say if you want to dance, do it. I don’t feel there is a such thing as bad dancing! It’s an expression of joy felt through music and energy. I looove dancing, I have three siblings and we would often have “dance parties” growing up even through our late teen years. We’d turn music on in our living room and just dance together! It was so much fun. Cherished memories that I will be passing on with my children💕
My fiancé and I are both 20 and will be 21 when we get married. Everyone says we are too young but we have been together since we were 16. Love your advice in this!
You both are so lucky your parents were supportive of marrying so young! Id love a video about that part of it. My husband and I wanted to be engaged when we turned 21 but our parents were against it because of our age so we ended up just eloping and not everyone was happy or supportive of our decision but at 25 and 2 kids later, we couldn't be happier!
You guys are too cute! We got married at 20 and while I wouldn't recommend it, it was definitely the best decision I ever made. We're only 3 years in but have never once doubted our decision
You inspire me so much. I'm 20 years old and engaged. Our families find it awesome, but around us people find it so young for us to simply be engaged, not even married. Happy anniversary even though it's not the 14th yet!
Wow! I got married at 23 and everyone lost their mind about how young I was to get married. You guys are so brave! The concept of marriage has been so twisted over the years that some jokers even said “I’m sorry for you” when I announced I was engaged. I love to see these couples who love and treasure each other. My husband and I can’t imagine our lives without being married. We did live together some months prior to the wedding as he moved from our home country to be with me in Japan, definitely the best decision of my life! Congrats on you guys ❣️
I love that I’ve watched the two of you grow separate throughout the years AND together. It’s so refreshing! Love you two! Your love for one another is so clear to everyone around you, and your children!
So glad I found your youtube. Married my high school sweetheart just a few months after 19 and had two kiddos by my 23 birthday. Wasn't what others our age were interested in but was perfect for us and 17 years later we are loving it still
I've started watching your channel over the past year Delilah, I have must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed each post! Love watching the snipets of where your guys are in life and your transparency you give through each video, its so beautiful to see!
He’s right that rule of thirds is nicer for an interview shot but since this is a more intimate conversation, the tighter shot with less headspace woulda probably been better. Both right, different perspectives!
Wow.. You guys are so real and so fun to watch. I admire the respect you guys have for each other. Even when you guys were talking about your pet peeves of each other and disagreeing over things, you guys were so calm and respectful. You could see the love!
I relate/look up to y’all so much! I’m so thankful I’ve met my soulmate so young at 18. We’ve been inseparable for four years, lol. It’s such a cool experience growing up and growing old together. My mom is 50 and still hasn’t found true love. I know how hard it can be for those who haven’t found that connection. Constantly looking... That’s why it’s so important to take refuge in the Lord and not put a significant other (or the idea of a significant other) before Him.
Woah!!! My fiancée and I plan on eloping tomorrow! 11-14! I had no idea that was your anniversary!! Congrats to you both on your 5th year anniversary!!! 🥰
Loved this! Also happy anniversary tomorrow! My husband and I are also highschool sweethearts (met when I was 15, soon turning 16 and he was 18), engaged for 3 years (when I was 21) and we married at 24 and 26. Been married for 3 years already and together for 11.5 years
Happy Anniversary! from a couple married 16 almost 17 years ( together 21 years in December) whom also waited for eachother and have never regretted it. I enjoy watching you all so much! here's too many more years!
I wipe my lips after my husband kisses me. It drives him crazy. He says I am wiping off his kisses. But I cant stand the feeling of moisture on my skin, including my lips. Glad to know I am not the only one who does this. Lol.
My husband and I were 18 and just got married 7 months ago. It’s been crazy both because of our age and because of COVID but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The first few months were hard but we’ve gotten settled and I’m so happy :) Young marriage shouldn’t be frowned upon!
Happy anniversary! The things you have accomplished and have figured out at such young ages is inspirational and gives hope for the future. I am impressed!
Happy anniversary!! I got married at 20 years old to my high school sweetheart nearly ten years ago. 😍 Marriage rocks! Cool to hear more of your story!
Happy Anniversary!!!! You two are so genuine..it’s beautiful to see! My husband and I just celebrated 5 years and our daughter was also born July 9th ❤️
Happy anniversary!! I loved this video. I love the realness and how sweet you both were to each other. Made me reflect on my marriage and appreciate it and I felt the drive to send my husband a sweet message.
Marriage has nothing to do with age and everything to do with who you are, who they are and who you want to be as a couple ❤️ Making marriage truly a priority can really allow you to show that love. I like how real you guys were that you won’t always agree, you won’t always be in the beat mood, but that’s not a deal breaker. Humans make mistakes, we move past them and grow in love together!
I love watching these videos! My husband and I have almost been married for 2 years, we have been together for almost 9. we were middle school sweethearts. we were also each others first everything. im currently pregnant with our first baby and we just feel so blessed 💙. Its so nice to hear simular stories. Happy anniversary you two!
My husband and I just celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary in October and our ninth "together" anniversary, and we were friends before that! Time flies, and I feel so lucky we found each other so young. Also, I always assume that married couples share a bank account. I don't understand why you wouldn't? If I can't trust my partner with our shared finances, then I wouldn't have married him!
Happy anniversary ! I love seeing you too :) It's so nice to hear about your type of relationship. A lot of what you say resonate with me, and I wish me and my fiancé would be married already (we're 21, i've been ready to be married with him since 19 haha)... But the times are special and we would like to be settled before getting married! Can't wait... Love you guys!
The bank told my husband and I that if you have a joint account and something happens to one person (illness, death, etc), the other person is still able to access the account. Of course this is obvious, but just imagine if you're married, one person falls ill and the spouse has to jump through all kinds of legal hoops to access that money, especially during a stressful time. Another example, my brother had power of attorney over my mom's bank account, and when she passed away recently, our lawyer said, "Well, there's nothing you need to do. It's technically your bank account now." Of course he did the right thing and divided it between the three of us siblings, and the money didn't have to go into probate as part of her estate for 6 months (like her stocks, etc). I wouldn't have thought about this stuff at Delilah's age, but when you're over 50 like me this is what happens.
You guys are my favorite. I’ve been married 6.5 years, and also married young. I definitely had some good relatable laughs watching you two 😍 and happy anniversary
Married at 19 also, we were our own first everything. 🥰 best friends for 4 years and married for 10 years. We have our ups and downs but we know to listen and learn from each other, grow with each other and that’s what makes us going. We have 2 wonderful children 7 and 5 and we are happy.
I love your answers for each other on what you admire about one another 😭🧡 also I agree with Zach, you being humble is a huge reason why I follow you and watch your videos every week. You always thank God for where you are in life and I really admire that. Also, even when you guys upgraded your house and are going through a season of being able to do renovations, I see it as you have worked so hard to get to where you’re at and you don’t take it for granted. It’s very encouraging for me as a stay at home mom with another little one due in May to know I too can do that. Even though you’re 2 years younger than me, I really look up to you and admire you 🧡
Happy anniversary, you two! From a fellow introvert, your date night ideas sound perrrrrrfect. I hope you get to enjoy a good charcuterie board together tomorrow :)
Now I idealize getting married young (I'm almost 24), but I know it wasn't for me, and moreover, I know I'm still not at this stage of life yet. But watching you is a beautiful example for people who want and feel the need to get married at a young age. Your maturity and kindness looks beautiful and really sincere
Congratulations you guys!! We’ve been married for 3.5 years, also married young (22 & 26). People think oddly about young marriage, not sure why our western culture demonizes it. It’s great!
I completely understand what you mean about being together is like your alone time. My husband and I are both introverts so when we were engaged we came up with a plan if either of us ever felt like we needed some alone time to recharge, but 4 1/2 years later, we've never had to use it because we can relax and recharge together just as well.
Going on seven years of marriage , 11 together, and we also married virgins, No regrets we love each other as much or more than before. We also share bank accounts and have a huge calendar in our living room wall where everything goes, it simplifies so much. Also for the past 2 years my husband had to be the stay-home-dad, and it definitely caused stress in our marriage, just until recently we switched to me being home and him working and it has definitely helped with our work life balance. You guys are amazing and will come through this even stronger!!. lots of blessings your way.
Hi from western Canada! I'm 3 months late, but Happy Anniversary!!! I really enjoy watching your channel. The first video I saw was your decluttering your bedroom before your move. You inspire me. And your kids are so crazy cute!
