A date night every week saved our marriage. No excuses, have a back up sitter, make reservations and have rules. No talk about kids, the house, or money. That focuses on the two of you. The kids understand that’s your priority.
And no cells.... And should you adopt .. please adopt an American child... I love watching you guys. Something that tore my marriage apart was letting the children play us against each other .. please don't allow the children to see that they can... that's my only advice.. now go love on one another😅
My husband and I just celebrated our 18th anniversary and one thing we decided a long time ago is when we are on a date we can talk about all the problems with kids and family struggles. But when we get to our date place all the changes and we can only talk about us. It has been amazing. We still continue to learn about each other every day. Praying for your next 7 years. God bless
The fact that Derek was awkward on his first date with Sarah is very endearing because there’s something very innocent about it and that he’s definitely not a player. Beautiful story, guys. Love the Q&A.
You never know things are going to turn out. I honestly got married kind of by accident. But it lasted for almost 42 years. Marriage can be difficult, but oh so rewarding.
I lived with a couple who would have once a week couch dates when they were in the trenches of having little kids. They would schedule it ahead of time on their calendar and just spend time talking on the couch and considered it a real date. I always thought that was such a sweet and practical idea
Hi! Just want to tell you how very much I am enjoying all your videos. You are such a good example of young married people with great values and morals. I love your sense of humour (Canadian spelling) and how open you are with each other! The video on how you first met was just so darn sweet! Seeing Derik now it's fun to hear how shy he was at first. You don't find that much these days. I found it delightful. As to your parenting!! Every child should grow up in such a loving fun environment. I get it that it is not all rosy. I was a single Mom for all but 8 months of my sons life and met all the challenges and he is great. But gosh how he would have benefited to have two loving parents! I love to watch you staying positive. Thank you for sharing!
I am thankful that you are going to raise your children in church. I raised my girls in a Christian home and they went to Christian schools from preschool to graduating high school. My eldest daughter wanted to go to a Christian college but I also knew that she needed to be around other people and those who weren’t raised in the same way as she was. She’s a teacher and has her foundation. The twin daughters went to BYU and they decided to be a part of the LDS Church. They thought that I would be mad at them for doing that however, I let them know that they have a foundation at that their walk is where they feel fulfilled. It doesn’t matter what religion they choose to go to, just that they are happy in their relationship with Christ. So, good for you for choosing the best path for your family.
Communication is key in relationships. I see a therapist, my husband does not, but he doesn’t struggle with the things I do. 31 years together, so we work, but yes it TAKES work.
I love watching your family. It warms my heart that you are so forward about your own mental health and encouraging others to address their own. Thank you.
We started it on my suggestion years ago per therapists direction and that hubby would pay, I would plan and then hubby didn’t want to pay for it anymore! It stopped and things have gone downhill ever since.😢
@@gorillarodohhh, I'm sorry :( could you not try to switch it up a bit maybe, and/or talk to him n explain how important it is to you/your relationship?
“ We Both are stubborn… We Both don’t like being told what to do … and…We Both always wanna be right “ kudos to you for recognizing!! Most couple would just give up bcuz of those major indifferences . Glad ur honest about it and want to work on keeping marriage strong! ❤️
To think I found the Beeston Bunch through Ozzys "EyeBoo" shorts and stumbled upon your page. Sarah, you remind me of my bestest bestie since 7th grade and Derrik is the like my younger brother. I absolutely enjoy both Beeston families and pray you all stay blessed today and always. My best marriage advice (And I'm on my 2nd marriage, so take from this what you will or don't. The second time is much more peaceful for me.) is to try not to hold onto anger. Disagreements are normal with couples. Just try to fight fair. (Remember, you're both human and evolving constantly. ) You will go to bed angry sometimes but cooler heads prevail. Sometimes a good nights sleep can help calm the vibe. And last but not least, laugh, keep laughing. Your sense of humor will get you through so much. You both seem like beautiful souls and I'm cheering you guys on. The love you have for your babies is palpable and obvious to anyone paying attention. You're gonna feel strained and distance at times. Marriage is hard.. And it isn't for the faint of heart but as long as you know the core of the other person and respect each other, everything will fall together as it should. Just always be kind even if you can't always be nice to one another. And again, laugh.. Love light and hugs.
Congrats for your anniversary and keeping on communicating and respecting each other. I loves watching Sunny, she's a doll and ever so adorable. Thanks for sharing her and her new developments 🎉😅
Therapy is amazing!! My husband & I did it for several years & it helped so much!! We also did therapy on our own!! I’m proud of you guys for recognizing the need & going for it!! Happy Anniversary, I don’t think missing your anniversary by a day is a big deal. I got married on June 2nd & told everyone forever we got married on June 3rd!!! I even set my husbands phone for June 3rd as a reminder!!! I felt so stupid & a little embarrassed but thankfully my husband still loves me & never lets me forget what I did…lol!!!! You guys are awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!
My husband and I will celebrate our 45th anniversary on July 27th and I'm here to tell you it takes a lot of work. With that said if you put in the work it just gets better and better! #HesStillTheOne💞
Congratulations! My husband and I just celebrated our 30 year anniversary and you are absolutely right it takes alot of work but it is so worth it. My husband is truly my best friend
Love to watch you guys. Piece of unsolicited advice. Dont make the same mistake I did. I wanted to raise my kids different than the way I was raised so didnt really discipline. And constantly bought gifts because my parents always said no. But after having a little monster on my hands, with my son (from the age of 3. He wouldnt share, threw a fit when told no and even acted worse when people were around if that was even possible. I bribed, just to get a minute of good behavior, worse thing, dont do it. I finally thought screw this. I turned out to be a great person BECAUSE of my parents. Kind and compasionate, always serving God and others. Sooo consistant discipline is the best gift you can give your children (whew, and yourself.) If there is not a hard line, they will ALWAYS PUSH THE BOUNDRIES. AND kids are happier when there is structure. I promise, you all will be much happier. Start NOW with Jack (I see the signs)😢 or you will have an out of control, crazy kid like I did. Its hard because we love them and want to give them everything, but then they grow up expecting everything, demanding everything and havent learned compassion because there are no consequences. Let them know what behavior you wont accept and then stick to it. Be consistent. Put the work in now and things will get much easier. The old saying "say what you mean, and mean what you say" has never been truer! This comment is left with the utmost love and respect. You are good people and yes your son can be good because of that but without discipline, genetics are not enough. Take care.
If you spoil kids and don’t discipline then they think the world owes them everything and be disrespectful. Donna’s right and has experience the result of those mistakes. She figured it out fortunately.
Agree!!!!! My 2 were in the age group of yours. I needed help with energy. My house was messy and no energy to be consistent with kids training. Weight training will help with listlessness , or even being lazy with housework. Write out a plan, daily routine,you will bloom with structure. You can take this as being told what to do and miss out lol
I love that you two are doing therapy even when there is no bad issues going on, it is the best thing you can do for each other as well as having dates to have time for each other. Derik's beard is absolutely 💯 sexy and the fact that he is keeping it groomed nicely makes it even better.
Hey, so as a old lady in comparison to y’all. My best advice from a now single woman (parent) I was in a 13 yr relationship w/ my kids father. But the best advice that stuck w: me (but didn’t resonate so much with him) is that “do u want to right or do u want to be happy?” And when your simply right fighting to prove your “right” then you both end up wrong. Because for you to “win” your partner has to loose” - it’s so much more important to agree to disagree on a lot in a relationship and then from that point instead of focusing on who’s right focus on how to compromise and both win. Picking your battles carefully. Most in the grand scheme of things do not matter. My rule of thumb is “will this matter 3 yrs from now” - answer is usually no. Then it’s not worth the battle!
You two seem like wonderful parents and great family values. I think y’all would be great to adopt a child. I’m adopted and more children need parents like y’all to give them all the love and adventures you can.
Amazing that as young as the two of you are, you recognize the importance of putting your marriage first and seek help for it! I ❤ that! So smart of the two of you.
Derick has lost his boyish look...nice beard guy😊 You deserve to compliment your marriage bc every struggle has brought your rewards...yes, every year has brought you to better🍃🕊🍃
Sunny ‘s hair is getting lighter. Beautiful kids.I think you two are great parents and wonderful people. You believe in God and the after life as I do. You believe in being kind to others.
It's best to remember & call or send flowers... But no one's perfect... Your allowed to make mistakes or forget things, especially that you weren't home & you were preoccupied with something... But the fact that you recognized that you missed it, & owned up to it, & are trying to make it up, gives you many loving points!🤗
The most important aspect of an anniversary is the fact that you're still very much together....and love and respect one another!! My husband and I have been married 56 yrs and when people ask what we did for our anniversary I tell them it really doesnt matter.....its the day to day life that matters....if day to day is not good than what good does it do to celebrate that one day! Everyday is I portant to us! Happy Anniversary to you two.....stay true ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can't believe Sunny is already 6 and a half months old. She was so vocal in this video. I love it. You have a beautiful family and I love your videos! Wishing you all the best! God bless! ❤
You guys are awesome! What wonderful parents and partners you are. So very impressed with how dedicated you are to improving and honoring each other and your children❤❤❤ And honestly, im sure Sarah was sad to have been alone with the kids on your anniversary, but it wasn’t like that was the plan! I think Derik should get a pass. Especially because you both really encourage each other to take time out for friends regularly. That is so darn healthy, even though it is tough when the kids are young. Bravo all!!!
They’re just like every other couple. Everyone has their arguments, everyone has up and down days. Not every couple will agree to therapy. I think what they’re doing for themselves to keep their relationship strong and healthy has a positive outlook for them and their kids. The kiddos look so happy and healthy. Well taken care of. ❤ Now I have a question. 😂 Do you ever do anything with Sunny’s hair? Tiny barrettes, bows, comb it back etc…? Many Blessings to you all. ❤
Flowers to me are a hallmark moment. Family is sooo more important. Life just gets ya sometimes it’s okay in the end just being there for each other makes it work❤❤
@@laurar9474 they have mentioned multiple times they are members of the LDS church, it’s just not the focus of their channel. A lot of the popular couple/family channels are Christian (varying denominations) and don’t often talk about it, most like to keep the viewer appeal to members of other faiths. I watch these guys because they’re lovely, if their faith helps them be that way, I respect that too.
Guys ,just keep being you, loving each other, be patient with each other,keep third parties out of your relationship, always consider each other and go the extra mile for the other, never think you are giving more than the other. You both rock. Stay united , stay in love and stay happy❤
There is no problem going to therapy. I’m proud that I take care of my mental health. It makes me a better version of myself. Therapy doesn’t mean you’re in a bad place, some of us maintain ourselves with therapy, some of us go so we don’t end up with issues that are more challenging later. I love this.
I just wanna apologize for my comment about Dereck not putting his wife and kids 1st regarding the marathon and his knees. It wasn't my place to say that. And it's so obvious that he always puts them 1st. It's gr8 you're going to therapy❣ Being in any kind of a relationship opens up an persons eyes about how they can improve themself and in turn make the relationship better❤ I love how intently Derek looked at and listened to Sarah when she was speaking. It can be so difficult to listen and NOT think about what you want to say. It's hard to stay in the moment and listen in that moment without past moments popping in your head and making you pre judge whatever the other person is actually saying in this moment. Personal insight is a wonderful thing❣ You 2 are on the same team and a winning couple🥰🤗
Happy Anniversary sweet couple. We are getting ready to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Remember, to always love one another…always remember to communicate and always remember why you fell in love.❤❤❤
Happy Anniversary guys 💕. My kids are grown and have kids. Through time everything will go smoothly. Enjoy every minute with your babies. Time does really fly by, so don’t worry and let God guide each day. ❤️🙏❤️
My husband and I have been together for 32 years and married for 30 years. My husband served in the military in the time of snail mail. We have missed every holiday and birthday and anniversaries multiple times. Don't sweat the small stuff. I mean my goodness, my husband didn't meet his first born daughter until she was 4 months old. He was there to see his 2nd daughter being born but was deployed for 6 months 10 days after she was born. ❤
I recently started to follow you guys and I have to say that I enjoy your videos. I admirer you as a individuals, as a couple and as parents. You guys are awesome and Jack and Sunny are the epitome of cuteness! They are just so cuuute! This was my first Q and A video so far and I like how you open up to your followers and that you talk about both the good things and the bad. We all have our ups and downs. I really love the videos where you're with Tanner, Lo and their kids. The joy you all have from seeing each other. Lol! Sorry about the rambling. I just wanted to say that you are awesome!
Your outfit for the date Sarah... wow! And how you two are with Sunny is so healing to me....❤❤❤ crawling!!!😮❤❤ Soon Jack is gonna learn not to run into her😅 He is so awesome! I think it is totally cool and smart that you get therapy for you two. Two kids take a lot of time from the parents as a couple. And you just can't only be a mom or a dad. You are also a wife and a woman and you got needs beside: cleaning the house, caring and parenting the kids etc. Don't forget WORK🙈😩 The day needs 28 hours so you got enough time for one another.
I love how Derrick says you don’t know how to be married until you are! It’s absolutely true. No one teaches you how to be married, and the things you are learning are not person specific. Your spouse isn’t guaranteed
I have missed you! So happy when I saw that you dropped a video! Jack and Sunny get more and more precious every time I watch! I saw that there's a mean person out there that posts lies about you and Tanner and Lo. Ticks me off! Your children are happy and healthy. You should never have to prove who you are to anyone, and some people use their computer as a weapon! Keep being yourselves! I love that you go to therapy together! Marriage isn't easy, as it can be difficult to agree on everything at all times. Disagreements happen and that's communication. Glad you are having date nights. Very important in your relationship, and when my babies were little, and I worked, I fell asleep at movies too! The chairs are too comfy! Keep being wonderful and God bless you and your precious babies! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Jack saying anniversa wee..so cuteeee! Yes it’s ok to miss an anniversary….it’s not deliberate, sometimes you both will forget it and that’s ok too. Life is full that why I use my reminder on my phone for what each month is. You two are the sweetest couple , I really see you two married to old age. Keep Christ in your life and he won’t fail you.. have the children surrounded by Christian friends..my son told me the reason he was a ‘good’ kid was all his friends were Christians…he said “ mom if I ran around with drug friends I probably would try to fit in and be one of them because of pressure…even tho you all raised me to live good morals
I enjoy your wholesome, family centered videos. Watching how you strive to be good spouses, great parents, and honest people is heartwarming. I've been married for 28 years and widowed for 2 months, watching you brings amazing memories to mind. I think you're just wonderful. God bless you all.❤❤❤
I have been married to my hubby for 40 wonderful years & we dated 4 years before, so we have been together for 44 years of fun & loving him more everyday, he still makes my knees go weak when we kiss. It's important to have a "Mom & Dad Date Night" or a date day at least once a month or if possible twice a month. Y'all must have a time set aside time for either a breakfast, lunch or dinner date. No kids. If you have someone that will watch the kids overnight that's even better. Its important to have fun, laughter & alone time with one another. Even now, our 3 kids are all adults & 2 are parents. We have one moved back in plus our oldest grandchild lives with us now. She will be off to college this summer. We still make time for dates & we are loving each other more everyday.
You both seem so happy together and I love seeing your videos. My partner and I are trying for a baby now and there's so many people spouting how awful parenting is. I know it's not easy by any means, but I'd love to hear what you love most about your kids and/or parenting. 😊
I've been married to my wonderful husband for 45 years and we have been together for 50 years together,we were Jr. High sweetheart's ❤ Always listen with your heart and put yourself in your spouse's shoes. True love and God can get you through anything 💝 God Bless 🙏💕 Much love from Debra in Maine 🥰
Sunny is gorgeous and getting so big!! Jack seems like he’s grown a ton also. I love that you’re both so honest and kind. Derek did you get hurt on your surf trip? Only asking because you seem to get hurt often. Sending prayers for your surgery. Sara I really hope you and Lo start a podcast it would be awesome. I definitely am a Christian as well and loved your response. ❤
Always use the word share… When you’re referring to your children’s toys. My daughter-in-law has successfully integrated her 2 1/2 year-old little boy and they were little girl and he shares everything with her. It’s adorable.
Another thing that I did with my son and daughter in a similar situation when they were very little was calling each other their friend. And making sure that they understood that a friend is someone that you want to spend time with and be happy with and share your life with, including your favorite toys! You guys are awesome and doing a great job!
Happy Anniversary!! Ours is the 16th and we celebrated 15 years! We decided to celebrate the big ones as their more important. Like ones that end in 0 or 5. The other ones are more mellow. This year, we forgot our anniversary until the 9th, we forgot it was June, we had a lot going on. 1st time ever, so it does happen. Since Derek was traveling, he had a lot going on. Sarah seems to understand, that's all that matters. Happy Anniversary!!
Been married for 50 yrs. Please pick your battles carefully. It's not worth being right all the time. ❤ The older we get the more mellow we become.
Great advise … if we only knew then what we know now. ❤️
Exactly...46 yrs here and I always was happy when my hubs got to do a fish or hunt trip even if it was our anniversary.
Yes pick the battles.. lovelovelove ❤️🌈🌸✌🏻
I agree
Yes, if growing up with parents who passive-agressively fought all the time taught me one thing it's this.
Any relationship requires work. You are a sweet couple. You obviously both adore your children. Derrick has an inner child and is a fun daddy.
A date night every week saved our marriage. No excuses, have a back up sitter, make reservations and have rules. No talk about kids, the house, or money. That focuses on the two of you. The kids understand that’s your priority.
They have a nanny & sitter!
And no cells.... And should you adopt .. please adopt an American child...
I love watching you guys. Something that tore my marriage apart was letting the children play us against each other .. please don't allow the children to see that they can... that's my only advice.. now go love on one another😅

❤❤❤❤
There is absolutely nothing real about derik
He's never serious.annoys his kids forever grabbing at them.sarah can do so much better
You never know things are going to turn out. I honestly got married kind of by accident. But it lasted for almost 42 years. Marriage can be difficult, but oh so rewarding.
How do you get married by accident?🤔😊
I lived with a couple who would have once a week couch dates when they were in the trenches of having little kids. They would schedule it ahead of time on their calendar and just spend time talking on the couch and considered it a real date. I always thought that was such a sweet and practical idea
Look at Jack and his language explosion! So cool to watch him grow up, thanks for sharing him with us. Congratulations you two

I have been married over 40 years. One thing I always tell newlyweds. Date Night is so important. Make it a priority kiddos!! ❤❤❤❤
We started it on my suggestion years ago per therapists direction and that hubby would pay, I would plan and then hubby didn’t want to pay for it anymore! It stopped and things have gone downhill ever since.😢
Married 40 years too!
We couldn't afford date nights. And now we like to cook and stay home.

I have to say I love the authentic and transparent nature of your relationship. You show it all and I love every minute of it! Love to all! 💖🥰👍
I'm glad y'all got through Derrick's awkwardness because y'all are an adorable couple and beautiful family.
You two seem like wonderful parents and great family values. I think y’all would be great to adopt a child. I’m adopted and more children need parents like y’all to give them all the love and adventures you can.
Y'all are wonderful together. Do whatever works for you both. May God bless you with many more Anniversaries!❤🎉
Amazing that as young as the two of you are, you recognize the importance of putting your marriage first and seek help for it! I ❤ that! So smart of the two of you.
Derrick the facial hair suits ya bro hope you all have a terrific weekend and Happy anniversary to you all ❤
Derick has lost his boyish look...nice beard guy😊
You deserve to compliment your marriage bc every struggle has brought your rewards...yes, every year has brought you to better🍃🕊🍃
He got nice looks with that facial hair
I like the facial hair too! Really Handsome.. Jack is so adorable ❣️ Happy Anniversary 💐🎁
Sunny ‘s hair is getting lighter. Beautiful kids.I think you two are great parents and wonderful people. You believe in God and the after life as I do. You believe in being kind to others.
It's best to remember & call or send flowers... But no one's perfect... Your allowed to make mistakes or forget things, especially that you weren't home & you were preoccupied with something... But the fact that you recognized that you missed it, & owned up to it, & are trying to make it up, gives you many loving points!🤗
He didn’t forget it, he was away on a planned trip.
Love you guys!!
Jack & Sunny are absolutely gorgeous children❤
Your brother is amazing Sarah. Love how you are so close to him.
That is the real way a DAD should be . His heavenly Man . I love you both and your babies
!!!!!
The world needs more good people like you raising kind kids to spread love far and wide💜💜
I just realized I haven't watched this channel in 2 months. Baby Sunny has gotten so big with longer hair. Jack is adorable. God bless your fam
The most important aspect of an anniversary is the fact that you're still very much together....and love and respect one another!! My husband and I have been married 56 yrs and when people ask what we did for our anniversary I tell them it really doesnt matter.....its the day to day life that matters....if day to day is not good than what good does it do to celebrate that one day! Everyday is I portant to us! Happy Anniversary to you two.....stay true ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can't believe Sunny is already 6 and a half months old. She was so vocal in this video. I love it. You have a beautiful family and I love your videos! Wishing you all the best! God bless! ❤
4 mos later and she can't even say Mama..maybe vax injured or something.
You guys are awesome! What wonderful parents and partners you are. So very impressed with how dedicated you are to improving and honoring each other and your children❤❤❤
And honestly, im sure Sarah was sad to have been alone with the kids on your anniversary, but it wasn’t like that was the plan! I think Derik should get a pass. Especially because you both really encourage each other to take time out for friends regularly. That is so darn healthy, even though it is tough when the kids are young. Bravo all!!!
A belated Anniversary 🎉to everyone!!! Also....Derrick looks 100%better with his facial hair!!!
It looks okay. I wouldn't say better
I love the beard
@@lisaquigley-moon9583 I would also say absolutely better than before.
His beard was almost black. Did he bleach it?
They’re just like every other couple. Everyone has their arguments, everyone has up and down days.
Not every couple will agree to therapy. I think what they’re doing for themselves to keep their relationship strong and healthy has a positive outlook for them and their kids.
The kiddos look so happy and healthy. Well taken care of. ❤
Now I have a question. 😂
Do you ever do anything with Sunny’s hair? Tiny barrettes, bows, comb it back etc…?
Many Blessings to you all. ❤
I wanted to know about her hair as well. She is So ADORABLE ~💜
@@pennyluongo8001 she is. 😊
You two are awesome. Love that you’re raising your kids in the church 🤗
Flowers to me are a hallmark moment. Family is sooo more important. Life just gets ya sometimes it’s okay in the end just being there for each other makes it work❤❤
It was cool to hear that you’re still actively practising your faith 🙏🏼😊
I’m wondering why they don’t just say that they are Mormon? It almost seems like they’re hiding it..? Idk it’s just odd to me.
@@laurar9474 yeah
@@laurar9474because they know if people know they’ll lose followers and they don’t want to. They are hiding it on purpose…
@@laurar9474 they have mentioned multiple times they are members of the LDS church, it’s just not the focus of their channel. A lot of the popular couple/family channels are Christian (varying denominations) and don’t often talk about it, most like to keep the viewer appeal to members of other faiths. I watch these guys because they’re lovely, if their faith helps them be that way, I respect that too.
@@whatisloveanywaythey do not hide it!
The world definitely needs more kids like those you two would raise. Tanner and Lo as well. Thank you! 😘
I love your attitude Sarah! I want to learn to be more resilient and go with the flow like you are!
This was so great to watch I love you guys and your family ❤
Sunny crawling? That seems so fast. She's so cute!
Sunny is so darn adorable
Please take more pics of her. Thanks❤❤❤
@@cherylmcintire649think you put your comment in the wrong place lol
Depression sucks. Glad you're tackling it.
Guys ,just keep being you, loving each other, be patient with each other,keep third parties out of your relationship, always consider each other and go the extra mile for the other, never think you are giving more than the other. You both rock. Stay united , stay in love and stay happy❤
Happy for you both. Therapy is great for relationships. The beard looks awesome! God bless you both!
There is no problem going to therapy. I’m proud that I take care of my mental health. It makes me a better version of myself. Therapy doesn’t mean you’re in a bad place, some of us maintain ourselves with therapy, some of us go so we don’t end up with issues that are more challenging later. I love this.
I just love your honesty and wholesomeness!
Your videos are always heartwarming and the time just flies by. The kids just keep getting cuter.
❤ love y’all!! Been here since Jack was born!!❤🎉
I just wanna apologize for my comment about Dereck not putting his wife and kids 1st regarding the marathon and his knees. It wasn't my place to say that. And it's so obvious that he always puts them 1st. It's gr8 you're going to therapy❣ Being in any kind of a relationship opens up an persons eyes about how they can improve themself and in turn make the relationship better❤ I love how intently Derek looked at and listened to Sarah when she was speaking. It can be so difficult to listen and NOT think about what you want to say. It's hard to stay in the moment and listen in that moment without past moments popping in your head and making you pre judge whatever the other person is actually saying in this moment. Personal insight is a wonderful thing❣ You 2 are on the same team and a winning couple🥰🤗
Happy Anniversary sweet couple. We are getting ready to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Remember, to always love one another…always remember to communicate and always remember why you fell in love.❤❤❤
Happy Anniversary guys 💕. My kids are grown and have kids. Through time everything will go smoothly. Enjoy every minute with your babies. Time does really fly by, so don’t worry and let God guide each day. ❤️🙏❤️
Happy Blessed Belated 7th Anniversary & pray for many more special years ahead🙏🏻💕
I’m just happy to see you and the kids! You are sunshine!🌞
Awwwww you truly are the most beautiful family x sunny is the double of her daddy and jack is so clever ❤❤❤❤❤
I was born on June 17th, 1961, and got married on June 17th, 1981. You guys picked a good day.
Sunny looks so much like Derik wow thanks for the q&a it rocks getting to learn more about RUclipsrs and their life 😊
The most important thing in a relationship is trust. Talking to each other and making sure to listen . Happy 7th Anniversary wishing you 100 more💖💖💖
Derek you look knackered (tired) . Sarah you look gorgeous as ever , happy anniversary ❤
My husband and I have been together for 32 years and married for 30 years. My husband served in the military in the time of snail mail. We have missed every holiday and birthday and anniversaries multiple times. Don't sweat the small stuff. I mean my goodness, my husband didn't meet his first born daughter until she was 4 months old. He was there to see his 2nd daughter being born but was deployed for 6 months 10 days after she was born. ❤
I love Jack he's so funny and sunny, is getting cuter and cuter by the day 💗
You two are so full of love and kindness, I just love to tune in.❤
You guys are so good for each other. Both are good people & are able to play off each other, God bless 🙏❤️
I recently started to follow you guys and I have to say that I enjoy your videos. I admirer you as a individuals, as a couple and as parents. You guys are awesome and Jack and Sunny are the epitome of cuteness! They are just so cuuute! This was my first Q and A video so far and I like how you open up to your followers and that you talk about both the good things and the bad. We all have our ups and downs. I really love the videos where you're with Tanner, Lo and their kids. The joy you all have from seeing each other. Lol! Sorry about the rambling. I just wanted to say that you are awesome!
No hard feelings Mom she just knew the family wasn’t together. Your such awesome parents ❤
Your outfit for the date Sarah... wow! And how you two are with Sunny is so healing to me....❤❤❤ crawling!!!😮❤❤ Soon Jack is gonna learn not to run into her😅 He is so awesome!
I think it is totally cool and smart that you get therapy for you two. Two kids take a lot of time from the parents as a couple. And you just can't only be a mom or a dad. You are also a wife and a woman and you got needs beside: cleaning the house, caring and parenting the kids etc. Don't forget WORK🙈😩 The day needs 28 hours so you got enough time for one another.
Jack was so proud of his mom when she put the track together ❤
Derrick’s beard definitely looks great!!!it REALLY suits him …
Do you all go to church? Yes the world needs good people.
Your hair and light beard look great. Keep it that way. I LOVE your living room.
I love how Derrick says you don’t know how to be married until you are! It’s absolutely true. No one teaches you how to be married, and the things you are learning are not person specific. Your spouse isn’t guaranteed
Happy Anniversary🎉many blessings & all the best to your entire family!
My husband and I went to couples therapy!! Best decision of our life! We learned so much about how the two of us communicate.
I Love your little family! You are a joy to watch!
I have missed you! So happy when I saw that you dropped a video! Jack and Sunny get more and more precious every time I watch! I saw that there's a mean person out there that posts lies about you and Tanner and Lo. Ticks me off! Your children are happy and healthy. You should never have to prove who you are to anyone, and some people use their computer as a weapon! Keep being yourselves! I love that you go to therapy together! Marriage isn't easy, as it can be difficult to agree on everything at all times. Disagreements happen and that's communication. Glad you are having date nights. Very important in your relationship, and when my babies were little, and I worked, I fell asleep at movies too! The chairs are too comfy! Keep being wonderful and God bless you and your precious babies! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You guys have a beautiful family. I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing! ❤
Jack saying anniversa wee..so cuteeee!
Yes it’s ok to miss an anniversary….it’s not deliberate, sometimes you both will forget it and that’s ok too. Life is full that why I use my reminder on my phone for what each month is. You two are the sweetest couple , I really see you two married to old age. Keep Christ in your life and he won’t fail you.. have the children surrounded by Christian friends..my son told me the reason he was a ‘good’ kid was all his friends were Christians…he said “ mom if I ran around with drug friends I probably would try to fit in and be one of them because of pressure…even tho you all raised me to live good morals
I enjoy your wholesome, family centered videos. Watching how you strive to be good spouses, great parents, and honest people is heartwarming. I've been married for 28 years and widowed for 2 months, watching you brings amazing memories to mind. I think you're just wonderful. God bless you all.❤❤❤
My deepest condolences.❤
My condolences, praying for you. 🙏🙏🙏
Bless you 🌷
I know I don't know you but I wanted to extend my condolences to you. I hope you have good support around you. God bless.
Deriks hair looks amazing! Y’all are such a beautiful couple and have 2 of the most beautiful children on earth. I love following y’all
Love your family, you're all looking good and healthy, Jack is getting big and husband's hair and beard are cool looking ❤❤❤
I have been married to my hubby for 40 wonderful years & we dated 4 years before, so we have been together for 44 years of fun & loving him more everyday, he still makes my knees go weak when we kiss. It's important to have a "Mom & Dad Date Night" or a date day at least once a month or if possible twice a month. Y'all must have a time set aside time for either a breakfast, lunch or dinner date. No kids. If you have someone that will watch the kids overnight that's even better. Its important to have fun, laughter & alone time with one another. Even now, our 3 kids are all adults & 2 are parents. We have one moved back in plus our oldest grandchild lives with us now. She will be off to college this summer. We still make time for dates & we are loving each other more everyday.
You both seem so happy together and I love seeing your videos. My partner and I are trying for a baby now and there's so many people spouting how awful parenting is. I know it's not easy by any means, but I'd love to hear what you love most about your kids and/or parenting. 😊
I've been married to my wonderful husband for 45 years and we have been together for 50 years together,we were Jr. High sweetheart's ❤ Always listen with your heart and put yourself in your spouse's shoes. True love and God can get you through anything 💝 God Bless 🙏💕 Much love from Debra in Maine 🥰
Best of luck with your new home and Derick’s knee. The kids are growing so fast. ❤
I lost the love of my life 7 years ago . Missing an anniversary , is NOTHING. Cherish every moment you have together
My late husband and I BOTH forgot our anniversary, one year! We just looked at each other and laughed
My boss remembered mine and my husband's first anniversary and we both forgot!!
Sunny is gorgeous and getting so big!! Jack seems like he’s grown a ton also. I love that you’re both so honest and kind. Derek did you get hurt on your surf trip? Only asking because you seem to get hurt often. Sending prayers for your surgery. Sara I really hope you and Lo start a podcast it would be awesome. I definitely am a Christian as well and loved your response. ❤
Always use the word share… When you’re referring to your children’s toys. My daughter-in-law has successfully integrated her 2 1/2 year-old little boy and they were little girl and he shares everything with her. It’s adorable.
Another thing that I did with my son and daughter in a similar situation when they were very little was calling each other their friend. And making sure that they understood that a friend is someone that you want to spend time with and be happy with and share your life with, including your favorite toys! You guys are awesome and doing a great job!
Happy Anniversary!! Ours is the 16th and we celebrated 15 years! We decided to celebrate the big ones as their more important. Like ones that end in 0 or 5. The other ones are more mellow. This year, we forgot our anniversary until the 9th, we forgot it was June, we had a lot going on. 1st time ever, so it does happen. Since Derek was traveling, he had a lot going on. Sarah seems to understand, that's all that matters. Happy Anniversary!!
