I love Chyna's sense of humor. It's so subtle and effortless. You wouldn't even know she was saying something hilarious if you weren't paying attention.
Agree. First video of theirs and I'm sitting here wondering how long it's been since I've seen where they are authentic and also just casually funny/entertaining.
rotten leaves turn into a weird form of "mud", that doesn't really dry out in cold because the non-rotten leaves on top hold the water there. Then they freeze and become sheets of ice which the leaves make it layer on top of each other. Really easy to slip on that, and if you do, then you fall in the rotten leaf muck.
I like how Chyna acknowledged how people who don't meet anyone they want to marry are made to feel less than. How about a video on why people like being single to clear up some social stigma? (Pretty please with Wheat Thins on top!)
Craig's sponsor moments are the only ones I actually watch - they are incorporated so well into the video, you hardly notice it's a "let's talk about our sponsor" bit!
Legal reasons: Found out that only because we were married, when my daughters dad suddenly passed, not only was _she_ eligible for survivors benefits, but _I_ also qualified for them, which really helped.
I was married for just under 10 years, my happiest I’ve ever been was while married. There’s something about having a partner in life, a teammate, that shares your goals, hopes, and dreams. Even while my marriage was failing, I wasn’t going through it alone, because she was experiencing her own version of the same event. Although my marriage failed I still believe in marriage and I’d never tell someone to not get married. You always gotta cheer for love 🤷♂️🤷♂️ (It’s been a lonely 6 years 😢)
Hang in there, Joey! Find some good friends, make positive social connections, especially outside of romance. I wish you the best of luck in love & life. Stay positive friend!
@@OnlyLyricsMatter I am happy alone, I just know I was at my happiest when married. That’s not to say I’m happy not being married, just different levels of happiness, and that’s ok 👍
If you’re married are your clones also married? Do that have to marry the clone of the same person you marry? Do they have time before they get eaten alive by 🐊?
This is one of the crucial aspects of clones. Video-Craig can film videos anytime while Editing-Craig is editing and Marriage-Craig is making Chyna (the country, not his wife) happy. I am not at all sure about Craig lending Chyna his clone- and timemachine
I got married because I like having a life long friend that I can always trust and share my life/experiences with. I usually don’t enjoy doing anything alone!
@@annelisebrown3810 Yeah exactly. There are only two reasons in my mind - tax reasons, and a sense of security. The latter is not guaranteed because divorces happen but people tend to work harder if they're married because it's a hassle to break up.
@@annelisebrown3810 without marriage, I’m afraid everyday I’d be worried that my partner could leave me any given day for any reason! To me marriage means my partner will always choose to work on our relationship, not give up on it, which insures us an unbreakable trust. It’s a really good feeling.
@@annelisebrown3810 - I'm single, but I believe that marriage is a demonstration of your commitment to someone, which can bring security. You become one with that person, so you're priorities should change. Just living together, you're still single people because you don't have an obligation to stay. You can leave a dating relationship whenever you want, even that has its complications.
"Some people like dating, but we don't"....yep, that pretty much sums up the difference betweem married people and those who hate the idea of marriage. I've been married for 23 years now and I agree, dating sucks. I'd much rather be with a man I know (and love). But people who question the wisdom of getting married almost always bring up being tethered to one person for the rest of their lives *as if that's a bad thing!* Thing is, to me that's one of the biggest perks. 😉
@@KARTIKEYA007 Marriage is a public declaration before God and the rest of the world of our permanent commitment to each other. It is essentially a binding contract. People who live together don't typically have that same contract unless they have lived together for more than a certain amount of time and have a common law marriage. In which case they still have to get a divorce if they want to split up so they might as well have gotten married in the first place. Getting married is just sealing the deal and showing the world you and your spouse are one unit now. This is important legally also since the spouse is considered the next of kin. I got married because I couldn't imagine my life without my husband, nor do I want to. Marriage is a gift from God, not a prison.
@@marjieyoung9570 Ok there is so much wrong with what you have said 1. First of all, why would god be interested if i get married or not? god is not a gossiping teenage friend lol. Why would god care if i married if i am perfectly happy being single? 2. Why need a "contract"? all marriage does is bring the government into your marriage and in case of a divorce the man basically have to give his life savings away to the woman. Why make it so hard to separate? why have the government involved anyway? 3. Why is it so important to show the world your personal things? (marriage is a personal decision). Do you show the world what you ate for breakfast or when u went to toilet or how u shower? point is, this reason is flawed since there is no need to show the world anything. 4. Again, if you couldn't imagine your life without your man, why didn't you both just LIVED together? that way in case things don't work out that poor man won't get destroyed in the divorce courts. 5. Marriage is obviously a prison especially for men. Imagine this, a married man can't do whatever he wants, he MUST fulfill certain responsibilities, there is a loss of freedom plus he can't leave because he will get financially destroyed by the courts and probably will become broke. I ask you again, how is any of this good for the man?
@@KARTIKEYA007 also I feel like your an uncle because you can be married and still do most things. Also you seem to think that women have it so easy in a marriage. Also kids.also taxes are way easier when marriage. Also if you listen to the video there’s a bunch of legal benefits for being married. And weddings are fun and nice. Also marriage is a big decision so being married should be thought with people who really really love each other. Also it marriage helps people with commitment issues/everyone. Also some personal decisions deserve to be known, personal doesn’t mean don’t tell, it means choose what it means to you. Also marriages can eliminate bad habits because now your accounting for a significant other
Dude! Same. I remember pre-gluten free life, killing a whole box of Wheat Thins in one sitting. Every time I go down the cracker aisle, I curse Wheat Thins. I also am not married and will never marry (unless a gluten free Wheat Thin shows up at my door, then I’m marrying that).
I can't imagine a more fitting sponsor and task for a video about marriage than relatively plain wheat thins and raking leaves. I'm not saying it's bad, but this fits marriage.
I think commitment is a kind of freedom. It creates an area you can play freely in, with set rules and limits, where you know what is okay and what is not okay, and that it's good to be yourself in that space. Too much freedom can be super scary and destabilizing, so maybe people like marriage because it gives freedom within those defined boundaries. I think that's why I would be attracted by it.
You too are so wholesome and real. I love how interwoven the sponsorships are and Craig, you have this weird way of inspiring courage rather than just hope.
I just finished watching crash course that my gov teacher assigned and I totally didn’t realize you were the same person! I have been watching both channels for so long now!!
Your videos are too good. Definitely the only RUclipsr I still watch from when I was in high school and now I’m almost 30. 😂 Happy I got to meet you in person once! Keep going!
So I have been married for over 10 years. When I first met my wife she didn't like me very much, but I eventually got her to talk to me and we went on dates. Her parent's opinion was we should get married right away before we move in together and mine was to move in first and see how we can handle each other's personal space. We choose to move in and get married later. We found out there was a big difference between visiting someone and living with someone. I'm not saying that everyone should do what we did, but you have to tolerate every little thing your partner does, accept it, and working on bettering each other if want it to work. We ran into so many bumps in the road and it got so bad I had to decide if I wanted to walk away because there was nothing tying me down to my wife at the time. I made the decision a long time ago that I wanted to spend my life with my wife and she also decided the same thing. As for weddings, they are expensive and after going through it once, I would never recommend it when you can go to a judge for less than $100 and spend money on the reception. If you want to make your wife and her family happy then those are answers you will have to come up with. I have no regrets. It's not just for tradition, it was for taking my vows and I will forever honor them.
Can I just say, that is genuinely the most leaves I've ever seen not on a tree in my entire life. I'm not even joking. Okay, I'm joking a bit. Well, not really joking per se, more being jovial. Regardless, that is legitimately the most leaves I've ever seen on the ground ever. I'm genuinely in awe of how many leaves there are. Is that even normal? I live in a country where all of the native trees are evergreen. I've seen leaves on the ground before, but nothing even close to that. I wasn't prepared for this. I missed half of what you were saying just staring agasp at that seemingly endless ocean of leaves that has enveloped your backyward.
As someone who's been here since 2010, I'm absolutely loving these Wheezy things reappearing in recent Wheezy videos. I've been saying "look into your heart" for years, no one gets the reference
Me too man, OG wheezy subscriber here just wishing the absolute best for him. And Chyna of course. Yesterday I sang bananas on my fridge to myself. I consider getting a life
My husband and I have been married for 20 years. It took us about 14 years before we didn't constantly fight. And we're just now figuring out how to function like a pair of grown ups.
Thanks for keeping the great content coming, Craig. You may be the only RUclips channel that has stayed this relevant and enjoyable in my mind over the last decade.
I love your parents. It makes me so happy that they're down to just make these portions of the video. Also the focus your dad had when the wheat thins were tested to him 😂
Imagine marrying for guilt free sex, but you are only allowed basic vanilla penetration, because religion does not tell you you can do anything else and imagine your partner stops losing interest in having sex and now you are stuck with a person, with nothing in return.
@@zukodude487987 “Religion” is a category. That’s like saying “politics says...” What politics? Whose? And I’m not sure which specific religion you’re referring to, but there are depictions of oral sex and different sex positions in Song of Songs in the Old Testament. 🤷♂️
I think you missed one: social shorthand. Husband/wife terms are a very easy way to convey your relationship with another person, i.e. we are highly committed. My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years and live together, but the term 'boyfriend' implies to people that we're not necessarily as serious as a married couple. We plan on getting married for almost exacly this reason.
I guess this comes out of nowhere, but: Thank you so much for this comment. The two years or so I struggled with introducing or talking about my boyfriend and refering to him as "my boyfriend". Now I understand why: It sounds to casual to me, as we are living together and planning our future, etc. (P.S.: English is not my first language, I hope you understand what I meant to say anyways.)
Similarly, "significant other" may better indicate your attachment to someone, but takes far too many syllables to say all the time...I suppose "partner" might be a suitable alternative?
I call my live in boyfriend 'partner' or 'common law spouse'. It also depends where you live. Yes, social acceptance is a big one and the legal/ tax benefits.
yes! I find it super weird that boyfriend can encompass anything from tweens dating for a few days to committed partners who have lived together for decades. I was relieved when I could start referring to my partner as my fiance when we got engaged, and I don't even like that term either
It’s been a while since I have visited this channel, and I I have missed it so much. There is content and direction to the videos, but is balanced but Craig’s awesome sense of humor.
I was kinda hoping for a shot of the raked backyard at the end of this video. Would have been satisfying after seeing all that raking and the amount of leaves practically staying the same 😂
I dunno. Marriage strikes me like a tri-hard. Lookit! We love each other AND HAVE PROOF! My partner of 19 years and I had the marriage convo years ago and agreed that our life actions spoke more than a piece of paper. But we live and work in an artist environment so never felt any kinda pull to do the expected ‘cause we don’t really experience the expected. AND (importantly here) we don’t hold those married in any contempt; I just came here ‘cause I was genuinely curious about the draw of marriage, but still don’t see it.
thanks for sharing your story. i ended up watching this video because my partner now insists on me marrying her, because otherwise she does not see a future for us. i gave her the exact same reasons for why i feel marriage does not in any way change the way i feel about her and that i wish to commit to her, but to her it's just not enough. i can't get my head around it, but i guess everyone is different. it hurts, cause she left me cause of it...
I'm like genuinely confused by the concept of marriage in modern times. Like the legal reasons, sure, but it really doesn't seem like that's the main reason people get married (also side note why does the government want people to be married so badly that they give you free money for it?). Most of these things were just about being in a long term relationship, but I feel like marriage itself is a meaningless construct that people only want to take part in because they're told that's what they should want? The only other think I considered is that having a different word for boy/girlfriends and spouses conveys a level of seriousness to people in your social circle? You could really just call someone your spouse without doing the whole legal rigamarole though and it wouldn't make a difference.
1000%. i agree wholeheartedly. such a huge shame that my former partner sees it differently.. the level of commitment and 'seriousness' of the relationship would rise, in her words. i honestly don't see how. nothing would change for me. my love towards the person is not dictated by anything than my desire to be together and for that i do not need the government's involvement
Hey Craig!! You told me to comment something, so here it goes: I've been subscribed to you since before you, and Chyna even met, and I just wanted to say how honored I am to have witnessed the two of you grow together. You're such a sweet, and lovely couple, and it melts my heart to feel like I'm somehow apart of your bizarre, extended internet family 😂 I wish you, and those you love a long, prosperous, and healthy life. 😊💕
I appreciate this video coming from a happily married couple! Thank you both for this video! You made me want Wheat Thins too so thanks and good job lol havent had them in a while!
A lot of this is why its awesome to have a long term partner, you don't have to marry someone to have all of these benefits. If you have a good will most of the legal reasons are covered too. Don't feel like you have to get married just because its something 'that everyone does' - everyone is running their own race, don't compare yourself to others.
I’ve been married in the past and I love the idea of it. The reality for many married couples as you get old is that when one spouse passes, they come hard after the living for the expenses. My mom lost everything her and my dad worked for. There are couples actually divorcing in the middle of healthcare crisis so that they don’t loose everything they’ve worked for their whole lives and leave the other destitute. Sad.
I love being married! I can definitely see a bad marriage being terrible, and even a so-so marriage being wearing after a while. But a good marriage really is a gift. I love having a true partner to face life with. I do think that people have different definitions of what "being married" means. To me, you don't have to be legally married if you'd rather not for some reason. But I do think you have to have some kind of formal commitment. And for me personally, if I wanted to be married to someone (as I am), I'd need a good reason for not going ahead and filing a marriage license. It is the much shorter and easier way to accomplish a lot of legal stuff, like next-of-kin stuff.
Another great video! One thing I’d like to say though: you should actually leave the leaves. Small animals and bacteria use them for shelter during winter time. It’s good for the soil and nature, plus less work for us! Keep up the love 💙
I agree. I let mine stay on the ground and decompose, but first run the lawnmower around the yard to chop the leaves in smaller pieces, by spring they are fully decomposed and turned back into soil.
Honestly, besides legal benefits, I see no difference between marriage and a relationship. It boggles my mind that some people think marriage is soooo different. Cause it's not.
My girlfriend and I have been together for 12 years but I always feel like there is a lack of perceived commitment and seriousness to our relationship. Like by not being married our relationship is viewed as less significant compared to married people. When getting to know people better they always grill me on the seriousness of our relationship and ask why we aren't married, it's as if people think we're still kids experiencing puppy love and not treated like adults building a life together. If I was to get married it would be to put and end to that stigma that I often feel. Also saying "girlfriend" feels childish or something compared to "wife"
Definitely it will up the level of perceived commitment and people will have to respect your wife and her influence on you when considering things (inviting you to parties, out for drinks, game nights etc etc)
@@d.c.1851 partner > gf/bf for sure I think partner has become a universal term and people are recognizing it as “life partner” that’s pretty significant 😅
My MIL introduced me to using the tarp when raking. You load it up and then pull the tarp to a designated area for the leaves. Our designated area is the woods next to our house. 😂
This might increase your fondness for Amsterdam. Here in the Netherlands you can get the tax benefits, without being married. It's called: Registered partnership ;P
I love Chyna's sense of humor. It's so subtle and effortless. You wouldn't even know she was saying something hilarious if you weren't paying attention.
I like that they both seem to have that brand of humor. Clearly helps their relationship a ton.
Agree. First video of theirs and I'm sitting here wondering how long it's been since I've seen where they are authentic and also just casually funny/entertaining.
Must be that INTJ personality of hers. Reminds me of the type of guys I like.
“Why get married?”
To eventually get sponsored by Wheat Thins 👍
🤣🤣
Dun dun dudun dun dun dun
Dun dun
Du-dun!
Your all gathered here today to celebrate the holy matrimony between Anton and...
Wheat Thins!!!
Clearly, Craig was playing the long game.
What a long con... and WORTH IT
Follow-up question: Why do people rake their lawns??
To inspire the trees to make more leaves.
They do have a lot of leaves. But guess it would ruin the grass
rotten leaves turn into a weird form of "mud", that doesn't really dry out in cold because the non-rotten leaves on top hold the water there. Then they freeze and become sheets of ice which the leaves make it layer on top of each other. Really easy to slip on that, and if you do, then you fall in the rotten leaf muck.
Because it looks nice and it gives you a sense of completion, and some state give out tickets for not keeping up with cleaning ness
The leaves will kill all your grass/short plants by covering all the sunlight if you let them build up too much.
"For Chyna;... My wife, not the country." :P
I died laughting when he said that xD
😅 Chyna must get that joke a LOT.
Interestingly, I'm working on my pronunciation of the word "bagel" for China, the country. I don't believe they've noticed.
He should occasionally throw in, "my wife not the wrestler".
I mean, if he married the country, that'd be a LOT of people to be wed to. Imagine all the birthday gifts he'd have to buy. 😆
They are one the few couples that make me consider the idea of marriage
Right? They look so happy and comfortable in their relationship 😘

I'm not saying that everyone should do what we did, but you have to tolerate every little thing your partner does, accept it, and working on bettering each other if want it to work. We ran into so many bumps in the road and it got so bad I had to decide if I wanted to walk away because there was nothing tying me down to my wife at the time. I made the decision a long time ago that I wanted to spend my life with my wife and she also decided the same thing. As for weddings, they are expensive and after going through it once, I would never recommend it when you can go to a judge for less than $100 and spend money on the reception. If you want to make your wife and her family happy then those are answers you will have to come up with. I have no regrets. It's not just for tradition, it was for taking my vows and I will forever honor them.
It's pretty insane in this day and age to get married first before living with them prior. That's just asking for a quick divorce.
Craig, your videos just give me so much joy. just.......thank you.
I'm so moved by the "look inside your heart" reference. I would like to see more of those in future videos
Can I just say, that is genuinely the most leaves I've ever seen not on a tree in my entire life. I'm not even joking. Okay, I'm joking a bit. Well, not really joking per se, more being jovial. Regardless, that is legitimately the most leaves I've ever seen on the ground ever. I'm genuinely in awe of how many leaves there are. Is that even normal? I live in a country where all of the native trees are evergreen. I've seen leaves on the ground before, but nothing even close to that. I wasn't prepared for this. I missed half of what you were saying just staring agasp at that seemingly endless ocean of leaves that has enveloped your backyward.
Yep, I mean I have a ton of leaves too, but these leaves are well, a lot of leaves lol!
As someone who's been here since 2010, I'm absolutely loving these Wheezy things reappearing in recent Wheezy videos. I've been saying "look into your heart" for years, no one gets the reference
Me too man, OG wheezy subscriber here just wishing the absolute best for him. And Chyna of course. Yesterday I sang bananas on my fridge to myself. I consider getting a life
@@Achw3l Haha amazing! Today I walked past a gazebo and sang that one.
Not gonna lie, probably the first sponsor that I will purchase. Going on my grocery list!
"Barley Thicks" really got me, just like your Dad got those Wheat Thins at 5:30.
"Dating sucks."
AMEN.
HOLY COW THAT'S A LOT OF LEAVES!
Also, pretty dang cool that you're sponsored by Wheat thins!
Okay I actually do like wheat thins but haven't eaten them in a long time so... effective sponsorship?
I missed the parents!!@ Hah, dad is reading the box instead of the hungry caterpillar book.
My husband and I have been married for 20 years. It took us about 14 years before we didn't constantly fight. And we're just now figuring out how to function like a pair of grown ups.
Oh well this gives me hope .
Thanks for keeping the great content coming, Craig. You may be the only RUclips channel that has stayed this relevant and enjoyable in my mind over the last decade.
I love your parents. It makes me so happy that they're down to just make these portions of the video. Also the focus your dad had when the wheat thins were tested to him 😂
You didn't mention two HUGE ones:
- Religious reasons/restrictions
- Guilt-free sex (yes, some people have moral convictions against promiscuity)
Imagine marrying for guilt free sex, but you are only allowed basic vanilla penetration, because religion does not tell you you can do anything else and imagine your partner stops losing interest in having sex and now you are stuck with a person, with nothing in return.
@@zukodude487987 “Religion” is a category. That’s like saying “politics says...” What politics? Whose?
And I’m not sure which specific religion you’re referring to, but there are depictions of oral sex and different sex positions in Song of Songs in the Old Testament. 🤷♂️
I think you missed one: social shorthand. Husband/wife terms are a very easy way to convey your relationship with another person, i.e. we are highly committed. My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years and live together, but the term 'boyfriend' implies to people that we're not necessarily as serious as a married couple. We plan on getting married for almost exacly this reason.
I guess this comes out of nowhere, but: Thank you so much for this comment. The two years or so I struggled with introducing or talking about my boyfriend and refering to him as "my boyfriend". Now I understand why: It sounds to casual to me, as we are living together and planning our future, etc. (P.S.: English is not my first language, I hope you understand what I meant to say anyways.)
Similarly, "significant other" may better indicate your attachment to someone, but takes far too many syllables to say all the time...I suppose "partner" might be a suitable alternative?
I call my live in boyfriend 'partner' or 'common law spouse'. It also depends where you live. Yes, social acceptance is a big one and the legal/ tax benefits.
Getting married just to show other people something about your relationship is an odd reason TBH.
yes! I find it super weird that boyfriend can encompass anything from tweens dating for a few days to committed partners who have lived together for decades. I was relieved when I could start referring to my partner as my fiance when we got engaged, and I don't even like that term either
Haven't even watched half of the video and I already know it's great. Thank you for existing, Craig
It’s been a while since I have visited this channel, and I I have missed it so much. There is content and direction to the videos, but is balanced but Craig’s awesome sense of humor.
I thought the title was "Trying to be married for 30 days" 😂
I didn't know that Matt Smith married Chyna and Wheezy... 6:43
(Not Dr. Who, but Pastor Who)
The best part of comments sections is people leaving time stamps for things you didn't notice on your own
I see it.
Next time I eat a wheat thin, I too will ponder the duality of life.
I was kinda hoping for a shot of the raked backyard at the end of this video. Would have been satisfying after seeing all that raking and the amount of leaves practically staying the same 😂
We don't know if unmarried people eat crackers, and frankly, we don't want to know.
I dunno. Marriage strikes me like a tri-hard. Lookit! We love each other AND HAVE PROOF! My partner of 19 years and I had the marriage convo years ago and agreed that our life actions spoke more than a piece of paper. But we live and work in an artist environment so never felt any kinda pull to do the expected ‘cause we don’t really experience the expected. AND (importantly here) we don’t hold those married in any contempt; I just came here ‘cause I was genuinely curious about the draw of marriage, but still don’t see it.
thanks for sharing your story. i ended up watching this video because my partner now insists on me marrying her, because otherwise she does not see a future for us. i gave her the exact same reasons for why i feel marriage does not in any way change the way i feel about her and that i wish to commit to her, but to her it's just not enough. i can't get my head around it, but i guess everyone is different. it hurts, cause she left me cause of it...
Your videos are all so fun and wholesome
As a non-relationship person I find all of this bizarre. I can't even figure out why people "date".
Craig: shows proposal clip that I’ve seen a million times
Me: cries
I'm like genuinely confused by the concept of marriage in modern times. Like the legal reasons, sure, but it really doesn't seem like that's the main reason people get married (also side note why does the government want people to be married so badly that they give you free money for it?). Most of these things were just about being in a long term relationship, but I feel like marriage itself is a meaningless construct that people only want to take part in because they're told that's what they should want?
The only other think I considered is that having a different word for boy/girlfriends and spouses conveys a level of seriousness to people in your social circle? You could really just call someone your spouse without doing the whole legal rigamarole though and it wouldn't make a difference.
1000%. i agree wholeheartedly. such a huge shame that my former partner sees it differently.. the level of commitment and 'seriousness' of the relationship would rise, in her words. i honestly don't see how. nothing would change for me. my love towards the person is not dictated by anything than my desire to be together and for that i do not need the government's involvement
Hey Craig!! You told me to comment something, so here it goes:
I've been subscribed to you since before you, and Chyna even met, and I just wanted to say how honored I am to have witnessed the two of you grow together. You're such a sweet, and lovely couple, and it melts my heart to feel like I'm somehow apart of your bizarre, extended internet family 😂 I wish you, and those you love a long, prosperous, and healthy life. 😊💕
I appreciate this video coming from a happily married couple! Thank you both for this video! You made me want Wheat Thins too so thanks and good job lol havent had them in a while!
A lot of this is why its awesome to have a long term partner, you don't have to marry someone to have all of these benefits. If you have a good will most of the legal reasons are covered too. Don't feel like you have to get married just because its something 'that everyone does' - everyone is running their own race, don't compare yourself to others.
Your parents are gold.
I’ve been married in the past and I love the idea of it. The reality for many married couples as you get old is that when one spouse passes, they come hard after the living for the expenses. My mom lost everything her and my dad worked for. There are couples actually divorcing in the middle of healthcare crisis so that they don’t loose everything they’ve worked for their whole lives and leave the other destitute. Sad.
Wheat thins are my favorite cracker. One box can be a whole meal or half a box for a snack. Really versatile.
That much leaf could conceal a whole dead body. Where would one dump such a huge amount of leaves? Asking for a friend.
The only thing worse than marriage is dating. I hear my friends talk about dating and being single and it sounds AWFUL! LOL
I love being married! I can definitely see a bad marriage being terrible, and even a so-so marriage being wearing after a while. But a good marriage really is a gift. I love having a true partner to face life with.
I do think that people have different definitions of what "being married" means. To me, you don't have to be legally married if you'd rather not for some reason. But I do think you have to have some kind of formal commitment. And for me personally, if I wanted to be married to someone (as I am), I'd need a good reason for not going ahead and filing a marriage license. It is the much shorter and easier way to accomplish a lot of legal stuff, like next-of-kin stuff.
Omg Barley Thicks!!! Thanks for a sudden and great deep laugh! Made my day
*takes notes for upcoming wedding*
I dont really like how embedded this ad was. It made it feel like the whole thing was an ad
I don’t realistically see myself ever getting married because I’m 30 and haven’t met someone I want to be with forever yet.
Another great video! One thing I’d like to say though: you should actually leave the leaves. Small animals and bacteria use them for shelter during winter time. It’s good for the soil and nature, plus less work for us!
Keep up the love 💙
I agree. I let mine stay on the ground and decompose, but first run the lawnmower around the yard to chop the leaves in smaller pieces, by spring they are fully decomposed and turned back into soil.
ive been subbed to you for soooooo many years. u deserve more attention that you get. Forever a Waiter.
im one of those people who dont wanna be alone..
People pick up their SO’s cleanliness
For example my girlfriend stoped bring tidy and clean after meeting me
Your parents. 😅😅 They get me every time.
Honestly, besides legal benefits, I see no difference between marriage and a relationship. It boggles my mind that some people think marriage is soooo different. Cause it's not.
Well this is the earliest I've ever been!
Dating as a single, middle aged mom is hard. Add on dating in 2020, and dating is impossible. 😂
The commitment of marriage can make the relationship deeper and richer by making it - conversely to what one might expect - more delicate.
I've never felt more personally catered to with the "how to find love" throwback. HELL yeah.
My girlfriend and I have been together for 12 years but I always feel like there is a lack of perceived commitment and seriousness to our relationship. Like by not being married our relationship is viewed as less significant compared to married people. When getting to know people better they always grill me on the seriousness of our relationship and ask why we aren't married, it's as if people think we're still kids experiencing puppy love and not treated like adults building a life together. If I was to get married it would be to put and end to that stigma that I often feel. Also saying "girlfriend" feels childish or something compared to "wife"
Definitely it will up the level of perceived commitment and people will have to respect your wife and her influence on you when considering things (inviting you to parties, out for drinks, game nights etc etc)
You could just refer to each other as wives without bothering to get legally married. There's no law against it
I use the word partner when I want people to understand that we are in committed relationship but not legally married
@@d.c.1851 partner > gf/bf for sure I think partner has become a universal term and people are recognizing it as “life partner” that’s pretty significant 😅
Omg! I got goosebumps all over when she Chyna teared up.
I know. That was so sweet.:)
man, watching you hitting 1m sub over the course of your career is very satisfying. Been watching you since 2010's. Congrats brother.
I really love how you include your sponsorships throughout the storyline of your videos, SO👏🏾CREATIVE👏🏾
THE PARENTS ARE BACK
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
If your mom had said "Holla holla get dolla" I would have died
about time
When you said my name I think I freaked out a little.
I love the relationship themed videos... Keep em coming!!
i love how you add your parents to your skits lmao
Where are you taking those leaves?? When we rake leaves, we never use a tarp.. I must know what the plan is
My MIL introduced me to using the tarp when raking. You load it up and then pull the tarp to a designated area for the leaves. Our designated area is the woods next to our house. 😂
Yes, where!? Looks like they are carrying them to the front yard...?
This might increase your fondness for Amsterdam. Here in the Netherlands you can get the tax benefits, without being married. It's called: Registered partnership ;P
Look inside your heart! Omg that brought me back!! Love you guys!
Nice video thanks for sharing your life with us. Love the editing.
