What It's Like Being Married To A Swede 🇸🇪🇳🇿 (from a New Zealander's perspective) 

You guys are so cute! I can tell you adore each other💕

This is so wholesome! As an English girl, I completely understand sun anxiety. If the sun comes out, I have to drop everything and get out there because you might not see it again for 2 months! 😂

Adorable couple. You found the prince Charming you deserve Saga. Thinking of leaving Sweden for Ireland, Scotland, Canada or New Zealand within a few years with my wife and daughter. So, some people don't wear shoes at the shops in NZ??? Well, that's it then - New Zealand it is!

Awwww. You're both so adorable ☺️✨

I totally get the Sun anxiety. I’m from Newfoundland in Canada where it is not sunny often so when it is I feel like we must take advantage. No sitting around indoors on a sunny day especially when it is warm. We must hike, swim, picnic, bike, kayak, etc. all of it in one day if possible😂

I agree completely with my wife, Wina (who commented earlier). This was a lot of fun. And I learned quite a bit, too. Both Sweden and New Zealand are places I would so love to visit. I've felt that way for years, and now I want to even more. Also, you are both so sweet together.💞

A very entertaining and informative video today. How lovely to meet your husband, Saga. You're a lovely couple and I wish you both all the best. ❤ It sounds as though Swedish people are a little more proper and the New Zealanders are more laid back. One isn't better than the other, but differences make life more interesting. 😊

So refreshing to see a couple who seem to genuinely like and love each other. Very rare, I believe. And the both of you being so-down-to earth and unpretentious is a breath of fresh air. Enjoyable video. 😊

You are so right about the crap insulation in New Zealand houses. During the winter, when I lived in Christchurch, the house cooled down really fast after turning off the heating. It really wouldn't cost much more to build them well insulated. I also remember the documentary about students living in Dunedin. One could see their exhaled breath inside their houses.

Sweden sounds wonderful. I'd love to be more clean driven... and the hugging. I often feel accosted when someone presses against me. Love the way she talks about her life.

You two are so adorable. ❤️

40 years ago i visited Scandinavia with my parents, one thing i found fascinating when i looked at it in Sweden was "house moss" specifically the use of it between the glass in double glazed windows.. it soaked up any condensation, although i think it was mainly used in the older houses which it was also used between the wooden cladding on the outside...

Hahaha. This is what I first noticed when I left Scotland to live in Sweden. No mould in every bathroom, no moisture sodden windows every morning. The other great thing is how common it is to have a balcony in ones flat. That improves life so much!

Awww, you are both so adorable together❤ Loved this conversation between you two, and I learned many things too.

Love this video, Saga. You guys interact so well together. I find both Swedish and New Zealand culture fascinating, so this is a goldmine of information on both, with a nice, casual conversation. Very funny too, especially the end! 😂

What lovely relaxing comments. As a german only sometimes in Sweden and neighbor of some swedish guests in Cyprus this wintertime I confirm the politeness, clean and well dressed and english speaking people, I could known very friendly. But also in Sweden are some cows of course and since many years you could pay by card at every small dealer e.g. with strawberries or whatever you like and there is a working cellphone net everywhere(in germany not). I hope to find some weeks to visit Sweden in summertime. Now I enjoy the spring in Batumi(georgia),

I love how you've presented this with such honesty and happy warmth. No "coolness" or artifice. I often diparage why the U.S. here seems so behaviorally affected; I want to walk barefoot!

This is hilarious! Very accurate. Especially the sun anxiety 😂🤣 true! I’m Swedish too. I do think, however, that Swedes do hug. Every time I greet friends and family, we hug.

I actually learned most about NZ, I was not aware of the fact that peoples houses aren't well insulated and they are fine with holes in their shirts (this aspect I really like, who want to throw out their fav shirt only because it has holes!).

This was fun. Do more of these.

Que bonito, that was amazingly adorable. Truly enjoyed your videolog. True realism.

❤cute couple - loved your energy! That “Sun Anxiety” piece was great! We Irish in the USA, really understand this! ❤

What a nice couple. I am glad that i found your channel 😀👍 Viele Grüße from germany Thomas

You guys are so cute together ❤ I'm also a Swede who married a Kiwi, but I grew up mostly in Australia. I agree with the gender equality in Sweden. The difference was even more noticeable when my parents first visited Australia 40 years ago. My parents visited a pub in Sydney and the staff made it clear that they should move to the 'ladies bar' as it wasn't appropriate for my mother to be in the pub. When we moved over, and were living in Queensland, the women on our street made my mother aware they were upset that she mowed the lawn, as that was a man's job according to them. I think NZ and Australian society is better now, but still have further to go, as far as gender equality. I think people in NZ and Australia are generally more laid back and friendlier. Swedes are more uptight and reserved in public, more concerned with behaving properly and following rules. Although when Swedes travel they have a reputation of letting their hair down. Our experience with Swedes speaking English has been the opposite. We found that as soon as anyone got a whiff of us speaking English, they would launch into English. To the point where it was almost annoying. Great channel Saga, I enjoy your videos.

NZ people appear to be willing to connect with Europe even they are so far away. For example, I saw few EU looking car number plates. I had to take a closer look and instead of EU country codes they had NZ letters. In Japan also, I saw few European plates, but they were original plates on imported cars and Japanese plate was covering numbers of European plate.

That was great. First time here. Learned more about NZ than I thought I would. I'm allergic to mold and mildew though. It's such a beautiful country. Love that Sweden is so clean and great design

Very charming and interesting. Thanks.

SO lovely!

I am from the United States, and if I don’t find love in my country I plan to go to either Sweden or Finland to find the love of my life. Why do I choose Sweden or Finland, because most of the population has blonde hair, blue eyes and can speak English as a second language.

As a kiwi married to someone from Skane ( southern sweden), this is so true

So interesting as an American who looks up to BOTH of your countries.

So sweet! ❤

You, guys, are so cute together😊😍

So beautiful to see how you respect each other's culture and get along!!! Wonderful video!!!

dude, all that clean, how do you stand it! by now you must be crazy, just kidding! happy to see such a lovely couple

Sounds like the Swedish need to loosen up a bit.😂😊 I have a friend who married a woman from Sweden for several years with children but ended up divorced because of the obsessiveness. It’s good that you are getting out and experiencing the world and other cultures. Hang in there ☀️🌙⭐️

That was awesome, make more videos together 😅

This is interesting to see! A lot of people I met during my time in Sweden (Malmö) were huggers! that's prolly me coming from Korea where hugging isn't a thing haha

He's marvelous.

ps , love the scale in the backdrop, i like gadgets😊

Ya'll are so cute. Loved this.

Thank you for another great video!

made for each other! that is my impression. thanks for the interesting video.

Thanks. This is really interesting.

I think it WAS really fun! Thanks to both of you, it was really interesting, too.

You guys are so cute together!!! ❤❤❤❤

Great Video Saga! I live in CH and have been to Sweden which I loved. Everyone I met spoke English. I found the people friendly across Scandinavia. Haven't been to NZ but lived for 2 years in OZ. I noticed some toxic masculinity there. Not a lot of refinement. Also, the idea of walking around barefooted in public for me, a hygiene freak, would be disturbing to see 😂 especially as I know what is on the ground 😵‍💫

Happiness to both of you❤❤❤

Sweet video. How do you keep the windows condensation free in Sweden? You mentioned a dehumidifier, if that's the case than do you need one for every room?

Greetings from Barcelona ❤

I was surprised to see kids going barefoot in public places -- even in shopping areas. In the summer kids can go from the house to the car and the park, all without shoes.

I love swedish culture and i enjoy learning about it. I almost moved there before meeting my kiwi partner and ended up in NZ. I think Europeans have a lot in common although there are so many countries. I found hilarious the video where Saga explains how the bedsheet is not hygienic in NZ, how they wrap the duvee in 2 sheets😂 so true; and how they go on the street with holes in their clothes or broken shoes. I saw some girls in McDonalds who look like their rolled out of bed and went to McDo in their pijamas, some barefeet, some with fluffy slipers and their hair tied up so messy. How did you guys found common ground? I struggle with my partner who wears gendels everywehere, including when we go out on a date😅

Sweden sounds like a cool place

Haha great video. So what would be your tip to meet a swedish woman? I find the culture very interesting and would love to explore that kind of relationship… being from a polar opposite culture 😅

Thoughtful and handsome couple...

Love the Swedish they are a beautiful people saga is such sweet lovable person she seems like a fun person you two are a cute couple

I'm Portuguese and my girlfriend is Swedish and she does all the DIY around the house, it's a normal thing in Sweden 😊👀👀👀

I really enjoy your channel! It is so calming and I'm learning a lot of life tips. Many thanks!

I'm Swedish and my house is a mess, except for the bathroom and kitchen. Also I think most of us hug a lot...

That's Luleå. Hej från Wellington via Södra Sunderbyn

I thought it was a fun video… and interesting too!

You are a cute couple 🍀🌺🌻🇸🇪💛💙🇳🇿🕊️

If yuo don't now Husband is swedish old and about 500 other words they used from Sweden Window the old nordic name is vindöga etc etc

new Zeeland such a great contrary i should known

If there's no dating they're much more serious about marriage.

"In sweden the woman is not supposed to stand in the stove and give birth." - Quoted error

The house thing in NZ must be because of the country's British origins LOL I moved to England 2 years ago, and I've never been this cold inside...

I mean this in the nicest way, lol, but your husband sounds like the guy with the white hair/hunched back in Rocky Horror Picture Show 😂

I had a Swedish friend (whe when we lived in the UK) she had excellent dress style, but reckoned that they all dressed like slobs, as "even the bus drivers in Italy wear suits" - God knows what she'd make of us provincial kiwis😅

So how does an American guy go about meeting a nice Swedish woman?

you two are very cute.

This may sound really rather strange, but isn't it rather really strange that it's not really strange to be rather strange, but rather really strange to not be rather strange?

I Love hugs with close friends and family but I had a boy friend once who's family were all kissers... they all kissed me right on the mouth!

Culture shock all around.

Better than being married to a coach potato

Ah, the miracle of insulation and ventilation ... I always find it strange when people in other parts of the self-proclaimed developed world are amazed that we tend to insulate our homes in Western-Europe.

I have no idea what in this world of hell I am subscribing to... or why. For all I know they could be using money to build a minimalist church that worships a microscopic lord of darkness...

Swedish people doesn't smoke. 👍 By the way, people is addicted to snus (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus#:~:text=Snus%20(%2Fsnu%CB%90s,Snus%20is%20not%20fermented)
