We were just walking down the street one day, my husband and I, chatting about whatever. Suddenly he turns to me and smiles and says "I like you." and I dunno why, maybe it was the way he said it, maybe I was just in a sentimental mood, but it struck me as the sweetest, most touching thing he could have ever possibly said to me. Don't get me wrong, we tell each other we love each other very regularly, but I guess in that moment I suddenly realized that he didn't just love me as his wife, but liked me as a person. I guess it's weird, and hard to grasp what the difference means, but I think our marriage works so well because we don't just love each other, but we like each other too.
Reliea Yuell that’s the sweetest thing I read all day 😊 And I think what makes it even more sweet is that he said it just “out of the blue” while doing mundane things, after years of your relationship
The sweetest moments are those simple kindnesses that come out of the blue, all of the big moments will bring a smile but it's those small things that bring tears to the eyes. There is a very real difference between liking someone and loving them, and both are equally amazing in their own way
This couple has given me so many bite-sized moments of pure, unfiltered joy and I wish they knew how important and needed these are during our current situation.
Respect, deferring to the other’s strengths and saying it publicly, not critical of the other, and humor. Really like this channel. Thank you! You guys are sweet!
As an outside observer, something that I think helps is that despite being known as a goofy comedy guy, when they talk he lets her be the funny one just as much. I've seen a lot of "funny guys" really stifle the other person with their constant jokes. Being able to make each other laugh is SO GOOD for a healthy relationship.
Wheezy is one of the best RUclipsrs out there. He’s not trying to entertain you with flamboyant videos that cost thousands of dollars to make, he’s not constantly throwing merch at you, he’s not making videos about all the stuff he has that most can’t afford, he’s not feeding you mindless crap about product reviews or other RUclips channels, etc. Just wholesome genuine videos about how he be and stay and good human. I respect that very much.
My parents learned to say "I will always love you, but I might not like you right now." (For example, If they were mad at each other.) So when they say "I like you" to their spouses, it's almost a higher compliment than "I love you."
Video idea: Why do people like cars? As someone who does not seem to be a car person, it would be an interesting journey to watch. Maybe get yourself in a fancy car for the day.
WheezyWaiter if you are looking for a car youtuber to interview, my personal favorite is WatchJRGo. Unsure if he would be down for it, but it is worth a shot.
For an anti-car view with a really interesting and specific perspective, look up Mr. Money Mustache. He may be a cool perspective for that and for many of your other videos on this trend.
Love this idea. I like machines, but do find it an annoying fact of life in most of the USA, that we need machines to live a productive life. Yes, I know life in a city can be handled on foot.... But some days I wish I could walk, sail, or grow wings and fly where I need to be.
I really like his thoughts on conflict. That rather than continuing to fight about something when his point has already been made he lets Chyna simmer down, and then comes back to it later if a rational conclusion needs to be made. It is impressive because he is not just sweeping it under the rug, and letting things fester.
This was so adorable. I was cracking up overly much at "We have the same keys"/"Yes, we can get into the same house" part--I love how you two never miss a beat with each other.
At the end of my first disaster of a marriage my wife and I had the opportunity to talk to a marriage counselor and he told us something that we ignored at the time that actually made the most sense in hindsight. "You can never be in a truly healthy relationship if you are not in a healthy place yourself." In other words, if you have personal things you have not dealt with yourself, those things will get in the way of a good relationship. What I have seen of you and your wife, you do have interests in common, which is helpful, but you two seem to be in a good place by yourselves. You do not have individual burdening issues that you have to deal with. Small things sure, but they are not an issue with you guys. Self-confidence, self-worth, mistrust of others, the list could go on and on with issues that get in the way of healthy relationships. Your relationship is working because you guys have your shit together, basically.
Yeah exactly, i think almost any relationship can work if BOTH people - key word BOTH - are emotionally healthy enough, but if one person is not healthy enough to handle basic life stuff and basic relationship stuff and doesn't have a secure attachment style, let alone both of them struggle with it, the relationship is not likely to work out. And SO many seemingly emotionally healthy adults really aren't. It seems like there are way more traumatized and unhealed people out there than healthy ones, especially when it comes to people who aren't already in healthy monogamous dating or marriage relationships and are still available to date you at ages 30 to 35.... It's all just a mess trying to find a relationship that works and is goals like this.
I'm going through an extremely difficult 12 year relationship breakup. This channel has helped me SO much with the positivity of self improvement and showing me the love in these relationship videos. I've realized that while I thought my relationship was perfect, we were not the soulmates that you two are. If you ever feel you're just making entertaining videos and nothing more, know that your content is helping me survive the hardest period of my life. Seriously. Thank you.
My husband and I have been together since we were 16 &17, married in our mid20s , we are now in our mid40s. One thing I think helps keep a relationship healthy is giving each other grace & space , especially if things are not going smoothly. I don't have all of the answers, we argue about stuff and disagree about things and parenting young adults is adding a new wrinkle to life, but we're in this together.
Congratulations on your long relationship! My husband and I have been together since we were 14 & 15. We are now 23 & 24 and just got married last month. It's hard to explain why it works so well, it just does. We respect each other and our personalities are well suited to go together.
I haven’t watched a wheezy waiter video in literal years but I saw this on recommendations and I’m so glad I watched this. As a teen with an atypical family structure it’s nice getting to know other models for relationships
I was in a relationship with a lot of talk about how giving etc... the other person was. Turns out that being generous with food and alcohol in social situations does not necessarily translate to a person respecting others in real life. You two respect each other in actionable ways.
@@macaroon147 no it's not. Relationships require a level of work that most people don't understand until they fail a couple times prior. Understanding the difference between being supportive and being a provider are different. And then being a provider of food and alcohol versus being a provider of more essential things is also important.
"Even with all the ways that we complement each other, if we stopped wanting to make it work, it wouldn't work anymore." You guys hit the nail on the head. If both people are committed to making it work, you'll stay together. If one person is only committed to making it work as long as it makes them happy, they'll start looking for a way out when things get difficult. Couples who make it through the hard times become stronger than ever.
For us the hard times made us work on it even more, it was the easy times that drove us apart. We had time to really evaluate what we wanted and each realized, without malice or judgement, that we genuinely wanted different things. We're no longer married, but still great friends. The wanting to make it work is the best way I've ever heard it said, and agree 100%
That’s how I knew my husband was the one. He said the same thing - that he would wake up every day and still choose me, and that it was a choice, not destiny or have to, but want to.
6:41 This is something I noticed when I met the both of you at Nerdcon: Nerdfighteria in 2017. I was nervous as all getout and Chyna was able to make me feel slightly more at ease just by asking me where I was from. And then we recorded us jumping in the air while saying, "Puns!" So thanks fer bein' you, Chyna and Craig!
I remember Shan Boody saying people thought a recent video about her and her partner was boring and she agreed. Because the truth is a healthy relationship is “boring”. There’s no drama, no pettiness, no dishonesty. Just two people, willing to sacrifice their egos for a peaceful as best they can. That being said, I love watching happy couples because, I think it’s beautiful. 💜❤️❤️
Too cute and love the honesty. You two remind me of my relationship. My husband and I have been together for 24yrs! Like fine wine, gets better with age. ❤ keep sharing the love and being an excellent example!
CHYNA. I will never forget meeting you at Playlist Live 2012, you and Craig’s relationship was still pretty fresh. Some girls were heckling Craig during his set because they were rude, impatient, and wanted to see the next youtuber. YOU FOUND THEM AND RUNG THEM OUT, vented to me and my bf at the time, and from that point I knew I wanted to be as strong, supportive, and honest as you are. You’re perfect for each other and I knew from that day and it always makes my heart happy 💕
❤️❤️❤️❤️ HI Linna!! I vividly remember every aspect of that day. I'm glad you were okay with listening to me vent in that moment. I was so upset and frustrated!
ChynaGrove we were appalled by their behavior too! I thought you were so amazing for sticking up for him, and I still do to this day! I met a lot of people that weekend, a lot of people I looked up to, but meeting you made the biggest impact on me 💕
Technically cacao is a bean...so you could do something like coffee with that 😅 "chocolate juice?" Also, I've heard of milk as moo juice, so chocolate milk is chocolate moo juice 😂 or chilk 🤓
@@rookieman329 But then you have to wait for the new order to be prepared and there isn't always time. Especially since we had a baby. Sometimes you have like twenty minutes before it all falls apart.
@Steve Slade when I'm old, hopefully I'll care about more important things than if my skin is saggy. And so what, it shows your history, scars show what you've gone through, and tattoos are just one part of it. I've seen old people with tats and to me, they looked so intriguing.
I am from Saudi Arabia, a big fan of your channel! You helped me and my wife to improve our English because we really like the content of those videos you made! Thank you!!
Ugh, about your sponsor: So disappointed I live in a state that won't allow the shipment of alcohol across state lines. That *is* a stellar deal for 6 bottles of wine! Per your actual content: Your relationship is a lot like my own, although my spouse and I are quite a bit different. We don't have a lot of overlapping interests (different political spectrum and backgrounds, etc.) but we still manage to make it work and have pretty much the same type of relationship give and take you guys do. Thanks for putting this together!
Look at that 1M subscribers!!! Love these videos. They're the only RUclips relationshippy videos I watch, truly because you two are genuine, wonderful people.
I started watching your videos before you 2 got married, back when you were still in Chicago I think. I was really young at the time (probably 13-15 or so). Your relationship on screen was and has been the foundation of my idea about how a relationship should be, and for that I can never thank you guys enough. I’m now happily engaged, and I don’t think I would know how to maintain such a strong relationship without yours and Chyna’s positive influence when I was growing up. Keep on doing your thing, because you and your family make the most genuinely inspiring content I follow online.
I was married to a man who no longer wanted to work on marriage. Turns out there were a lot of lies hiding as well in his past. And it all exploded. I've been very single and very happy being single for the past 4 years. But/and watching this video, makes me so happy for you guys. And terrified for me. I'm not sure I can ever find anyone with whom I can have such a relationship. I'm terrified of trusting anyone else, ever again. You two are awesome. Keep working on your life and marriage. I'm sure if Craig can't become immortal, he'll just clone himself indefinitely.
I really admire the relationship that you’ve both built together. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 14 years and a lot of my friends are always complimenting us on our relationship and saying how they admire our relationship.
You forgot that you’re both humorous! I credit my happy marriage to humor. We laugh & joke everyday. We have so many inside jokes and think each other are hilarious. I see that in you two as well. We don’t take ourselves so seriously, and that makes the relationship much more enjoyable.
it is obvious that she likes to handle and manage things, and he really doesn't care (not necessarily in a bad way). And since this is her personalityi him not caring doesn't bother her. I mean I would be furious if I had to plan and do everything while the other person is like "whatevs" :D
What's nice about it is when one person has a strong opinion and the second person doesn't, but legitimately doesn't--isn't going to sit there fuming because they REALLY did have an opinion but they were just trying to seem nice and let the first person have their way. THAT sucks, but having an easygoing person who is just happy to be with you doing stuff is very nice.
7:38 That right there. That's what makes the most solid relationships in my experience. You need to have a sense of self. Relationships are two people. Not one weird amalgamation
“other people exercise too, and they died” 🤣 cracked me up so bad that I have to rewatch this video over and over.. love your channel and your family.. ☺️
@wheezywaiter, congrats on 1 million! You guys are my fave! Maybe your 1M celebration/ thanks video should be something like, "Why Do People Like Wheezy Waiter?"
What I'm hearing is that Chyna does the home maintenance, the decorating, the planning, the cooking, the shopping, the socializing/small talk. And Craig... Likes video games, doesn't get frazzled, and doesn't care about a lot of things?
And works incredibly hard, is brilliant and creative, is our sole source of income, makes time for his family, takes care of his responsibilities around the house without needing to be reminded, and is willing to drop everything the second I ask him for help.
@@ChynaGrove Thanks for your reply! Those are important things, they just didn't make it into the video--or I missed them. I'm sorry, I think my phrasing seemed accusatory, I didn't mean to make you feel obligated to defend your family structure.
I watched every single video you made right before you met China because you were the very model of a tangible youtube success story imo. By the time i finished she was already making appearances. I was happy for you’re success and heart warmed that you found someone that seemed to compliment you. I can’t properly express how happy I am to find all these years later that you are still doing well both on YT and with China. You’re nostalgia that got better with time. Thank you for everything you do.
I 100% understand this. My husband and I have been married for 3 years next week and one thing we always talk about is how we choose to be together and that’s how we work so great. 💛 loved this video. Congratulations on 1mil!!
I was looking for this video since the million subscribers live stream! I shared this video with my family and i hope they end up loving your videos too! You guys are so realistic, and i love it.
Only 3 minutes in and already had to replay some stuff because I was laughing out loud trough it! Love you guys so much. Also, paused it now to type this comment! I didn't know there where other people still singing "Backin' up", but now here you are xD
This was great, but when you summed up at 10:30 about the importance of simply wanting it to work, I immediately liked the video. I really valued that point.
Love the main message of this video, something that my partner and I live by: if you want it to work, then try to make it work. Everyone nowadays is always looking for instant gratification but sometimes it takes a long time to build something and maintain it. Also loved the eagle punch, makes me nostalgic and remember the years I watched Wheezy a longgg time agoo.
I Wish you both all the best in your life. Discovered your channel few weeks ago and you're so genuine friendly and full of humour and honesty. Really lovin your videos
6:08 Chyna, I felt that. People who are winging it do not know how stressful it is for us who always plan ahead. They are also very lucky to have us. Good video. Wish you guys all the best!
Mutual respect. You both are so respectful to each other. This is so sweet and inspiring. The chemistry is so amazing. And the fact that you both are so funny, must be a key.
Watching you guys makes me hopeful about life and future connections. I've recently broken up with my ex and I was completely blindsided by it. It sucks. There was no effective communication or compromise (even though I tried hard and cared too much). We're not even friends now.
This was such a wholesome video. Made me feel so happy about my relationship as well. Sometimes insecurities make me think small differences are a problem, but you show how a relationship in its core is just wanting it to work and similar core values .
My ex-wife is the best. Sadly I took too much for granted, stuff I never even thought about during our 15 year marriage. Then I started working a lot, like 60+hrs/week, which also did not help. Sadly many thing are not discovered until it's too late. Being able to sit down and dig into what is working and not is very valuable. Thanks for a great video.
Reminds me of me and my husband except I don't like negotiating and I'm usually the more calm one. And it's spot on to say it works because you want it to work, if you both have that shared goal you can get through anything.
I met you at a driftless pony club show years ago! And I was awkwardly star struck and didn’t know what to say to you and you were all like “I hate small talk” and so 2 seconds into our awkward conversation and Chyna literally stepped in and saved the conversation with her amazing ability to have a good small talk conversation.
ok, I've always enjoyed watching Craig and Chyna over years but when they started singing back it up back it up back it up, I finally became jealous!!!!
I once wrote a list of what 5 things I thought made for successful relationships based on the handful of couples I knew who had genuinely healthy and happy relationships and you guys embody my list. One day I hope to find someone accepting of the fact that I write a lot of lists.
That note about walking away from a heated argument so that both can come back to it with clearer heads, and a better understanding of the other's point of view; That's me too.
Both of you are selfless. No one-upping. No arrogance. Listening to each other sincerely. True relationship goals.
To be fair though Craig did pour his own glass of wine first
@@sharmalarm:
They went through this. He's the heavier drinkie-er-er. It would mess with the flow if he always had to wait to our her a glass first.
Not selfless. Just that the self interest includes the other party. As in they have both decided that the others interest is in most ways, their own.
@@chickenmonger123 What a lovely way to put it. I like that a lot
You must be joking.

They give me hope that people like them exist, and that just because I grew up in hell doesn't mean that I need to stay there. Best.
Respect, deferring to the other’s strengths and saying it publicly, not critical of the other, and humor. Really like this channel. Thank you! You guys are sweet!
@@erinfink6056 Yesss power to you ^^
Most relationships suck.
People without mental issues or major personal problems tend to have really relationships.
As an outside observer, something that I think helps is that despite being known as a goofy comedy guy, when they talk he lets her be the funny one just as much. I've seen a lot of "funny guys" really stifle the other person with their constant jokes. Being able to make each other laugh is SO GOOD for a healthy relationship.
I assure you, Chyna is not one to be stifled. 😁
I'm thinking about his parents dynamic 😊

I respect that very much.
that moment when she said 'I love you ' that just melted me.
It’s what you said almost last...”I like you.” So important that you LIKE each other and ALSO love each other.

@Steve Slade when I'm old, hopefully I'll care about more important things than if my skin is saggy. And so what, it shows your history, scars show what you've gone through, and tattoos are just one part of it. I've seen old people with tats and to me, they looked so intriguing.
I've known Wheezy for almost 12 years!!! it feels surreal! and I'm so happy he's in such a successful relationship!
Congratulations again on hitting 1 Million Subscribers! It's well deserved and I look forward to the continual growth of your channel/content.
“Two eagles, one punch” is a a significant upgrade to the old saying
It's a lot more badass than just throwing a stone at some random bird.
After seeing this video I've realized I am Chyna and my boyfriend is Craig. Not mad about it 😁
Just male and female stereotypes
saaame.
@@LeoStaley maybe, maybe not, what i know is that i dont fit the female stereotype, and never did (my bf does fit the male one) 🤷♀️
im craig and my boyfriend is china :D
Same, in every point
this was very nice to watch
I am from Saudi Arabia, a big fan of your channel! You helped me and my wife to improve our English because we really like the content of those videos you made! Thank you!!
i think chyna’s love language is words. super sweet vid
Quality time too for sure 💗 love these two so much
I’m a “personal touch.” More folks should learn the love languages.
Hiker Hobby *physical ?;)
Personal touch sounds more like it’s about gifts 🙃
Ugh, about your sponsor: So disappointed I live in a state that won't allow the shipment of alcohol across state lines. That *is* a stellar deal for 6 bottles of wine!
Per your actual content: Your relationship is a lot like my own, although my spouse and I are quite a bit different. We don't have a lot of overlapping interests (different political spectrum and backgrounds, etc.) but we still manage to make it work and have pretty much the same type of relationship give and take you guys do.
Thanks for putting this together!
Look at that 1M subscribers!!!
Love these videos. They're the only RUclips relationshippy videos I watch, truly because you two are genuine, wonderful people.
I started watching your videos before you 2 got married, back when you were still in Chicago I think. I was really young at the time (probably 13-15 or so). Your relationship on screen was and has been the foundation of my idea about how a relationship should be, and for that I can never thank you guys enough. I’m now happily engaged, and I don’t think I would know how to maintain such a strong relationship without yours and Chyna’s positive influence when I was growing up. Keep on doing your thing, because you and your family make the most genuinely inspiring content I follow online.
Fun fact: eagles have existed for the entirety of the Covid pandemic. Thank you for punching them.
I started watching this video and didn't realise I was smiling so much until about half way in. Good job Craig
Craig: can’t talk to people, can’t sleep well, can’t buy things, can’t make plans. Craig it’s just me
I was married to a man who no longer wanted to work on marriage. Turns out there were a lot of lies hiding as well in his past. And it all exploded. I've been very single and very happy being single for the past 4 years. But/and watching this video, makes me so happy for you guys. And terrified for me. I'm not sure I can ever find anyone with whom I can have such a relationship. I'm terrified of trusting anyone else, ever again.
You two are awesome. Keep working on your life and marriage. I'm sure if Craig can't become immortal, he'll just clone himself indefinitely.
I really admire the relationship that you’ve both built together. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 14 years and a lot of my friends are always complimenting us on our relationship and saying how they admire our relationship.
Chyna did such a great job with the haircut!!
Chyna is amazing you're so lucky to have her!! I wish I was more like her.
You forgot that you’re both humorous! I credit my happy marriage to humor. We laugh & joke everyday. We have so many inside jokes and think each other are hilarious. I see that in you two as well. We don’t take ourselves so seriously, and that makes the relationship much more enjoyable.
it is obvious that she likes to handle and manage things, and he really doesn't care (not necessarily in a bad way). And since this is her personalityi him not caring doesn't bother her. I mean I would be furious if I had to plan and do everything while the other person is like "whatevs" :D
I definitely understand and relate. Spare some mental energy and help me plan, dammit! Do you want this to happen or not?! 😂😅
What's nice about it is when one person has a strong opinion and the second person doesn't, but legitimately doesn't--isn't going to sit there fuming because they REALLY did have an opinion but they were just trying to seem nice and let the first person have their way. THAT sucks, but having an easygoing person who is just happy to be with you doing stuff is very nice.
You honestly seem like best friends and pals and partners it's gold
7:38
That right there. That's what makes the most solid relationships in my experience. You need to have a sense of self. Relationships are two people. Not one weird amalgamation
LOVE is when two neuroses realize they have nothing to fear from each other.
“for a relationship to work out, you need to both want it to work.” ding ding ding 🙂🌟
I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and this video made my heart feel warm and calm. Y'all are my favorite.
“other people exercise too, and they died” 🤣 cracked me up so bad that I have to rewatch this video over and over.. love your channel and your family.. ☺️
@wheezywaiter, congrats on 1 million! You guys are my fave! Maybe your 1M celebration/ thanks video should be something like, "Why Do People Like Wheezy Waiter?"
You really appreciate each other - a lot of mutual respect. That’s huge and so evident! Beautiful to see.
How many other people were singing along with "Backin' up"
Well, My daddy taught me good, so...
🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣
I just dropped to my knee. You see, my little knee.
Wait...what happened? I was putting one more tap of coffee in my coffee cup and got distracted. Did I miss something?
Never heard of it before - which is odd am typically pretty familiar with music
What I'm hearing is that Chyna does the home maintenance, the decorating, the planning, the cooking, the shopping, the socializing/small talk. And Craig... Likes video games, doesn't get frazzled, and doesn't care about a lot of things?
And works incredibly hard, is brilliant and creative, is our sole source of income, makes time for his family, takes care of his responsibilities around the house without needing to be reminded, and is willing to drop everything the second I ask him for help.
@@ChynaGrove Thanks for your reply! Those are important things, they just didn't make it into the video--or I missed them. I'm sorry, I think my phrasing seemed accusatory, I didn't mean to make you feel obligated to defend your family structure.
@@nicolejames8971 You just didnt listen to them. Thats all.
lol tru, the bar is so low for men it's depressing
0:16 is the most terrifying bit of stock footage ive ever seen lol
I watched every single video you made right before you met China because you were the very model of a tangible youtube success story imo. By the time i finished she was already making appearances. I was happy for you’re success and heart warmed that you found someone that seemed to compliment you. I can’t properly express how happy I am to find all these years later that you are still doing well both on YT and with China. You’re nostalgia that got better with time. Thank you for everything you do.
I 100% understand this. My husband and I have been married for 3 years next week and one thing we always talk about is how we choose to be together and that’s how we work so great. 💛 loved this video. Congratulations on 1mil!!
I think you work because it feels like you two genuinely... like each other and from that springs kindness, teamwork, and humility.
I was looking for this video since the million subscribers live stream! I shared this video with my family and i hope they end up loving your videos too! You guys are so realistic, and i love it.
Only 3 minutes in and already had to replay some stuff because I was laughing out loud trough it! Love you guys so much. Also, paused it now to type this comment! I didn't know there where other people still singing "Backin' up", but now here you are xD
Two people wanting it to work, so they do the work. I like that.. Relationship goals for everyone 💖
I laughed so hard at his OMG after the food conversation. Eyes. Bugged. Out. 😂 7:27
This was great, but when you summed up at 10:30 about the importance of simply wanting it to work, I immediately liked the video. I really valued that point.
Love the main message of this video, something that my partner and I live by: if you want it to work, then try to make it work. Everyone nowadays is always looking for instant gratification but sometimes it takes a long time to build something and maintain it. Also loved the eagle punch, makes me nostalgic and remember the years I watched Wheezy a longgg time agoo.
I've realized more and more being married that my wife and I are just exactly like Chyna and Craig.
Samuel Benson same here (with my husband) and it's truly lovely
I Wish you both all the best in your life. Discovered your channel few weeks ago and you're so genuine friendly and full of humour and honesty. Really lovin your videos
6:08 Chyna, I felt that. People who are winging it do not know how stressful it is for us who always plan ahead. They are also very lucky to have us. Good video. Wish you guys all the best!
Mutual respect. You both are so respectful to each other. This is so sweet and inspiring. The chemistry is so amazing. And the fact that you both are so funny, must be a key.
Gratitude. You guys are so grateful for each other and that's the key for a strong relationship. Thank you for showing this! ❤️
Watching you guys makes me hopeful about life and future connections. I've recently broken up with my ex and I was completely blindsided by it. It sucks. There was no effective communication or compromise (even though I tried hard and cared too much). We're not even friends now.
This was such a wholesome video. Made me feel so happy about my relationship as well. Sometimes insecurities make me think small differences are a problem, but you show how a relationship in its core is just wanting it to work and similar core values .
My ex-wife is the best. Sadly I took too much for granted, stuff I never even thought about during our 15 year marriage. Then I started working a lot, like 60+hrs/week, which also did not help. Sadly many thing are not discovered until it's too late. Being able to sit down and dig into what is working and not is very valuable. Thanks for a great video.
Reminds me of me and my husband except I don't like negotiating and I'm usually the more calm one. And it's spot on to say it works because you want it to work, if you both have that shared goal you can get through anything.
gosh... you guys remind me of me and my boyfriend SOOOOO much. we’re only in our early 20s but videos like these make me excited for our future
I agree 1000000% with the because “we both want it to work”. I think a lot of people lose sight of that.
Wow this vid is amazing. And I think I somehow love both Craig and Chyna even more now!
I've had that backin up song inexplicably stuck in my head for a few days, so hearing y'all sing it is surreal lol. Anyway back to the video
i love her hexagonal tattoo that fades downward. long time watcher, but that tattoo is wonderful.
I met you at a driftless pony club show years ago! And I was awkwardly star struck and didn’t know what to say to you and you were all like “I hate small talk” and so 2 seconds into our awkward conversation and Chyna literally stepped in and saved the conversation with her amazing ability to have a good small talk conversation.
YES to all of these. Communication is key.
ok, I've always enjoyed watching Craig and Chyna over years but when they started singing back it up back it up back it up, I finally became jealous!!!!
I once wrote a list of what 5 things I thought made for successful relationships based on the handful of couples I knew who had genuinely healthy and happy relationships and you guys embody my list.
One day I hope to find someone accepting of the fact that I write a lot of lists.
"see, we do fight"....... " Only when you are being ridiculous".....same. LOL. You guys are awesome.
I took the most out of you explaining how you handle your fights, thanks for the video!!
ADORABLE!!! Smiled though the whole video. Thank you for the pure joy of seeing your relationship progress and deepen. Love you soooo much!!
You guys are so cute together! Wishing you many years of happiness!
I can’t believe you’ve only just hit a million! Congrats to an OG, well deserved!
Exactly the video i needed today, so sweet, so wholesome
I appreciate how you work on your relationship and have a great parenting relationship.
I love that you two sang Backin' Up because when that song came out, my sister had me play it all the time and we still reference it to this day.
Thank you for this beautiful video guys. You two are so similar to my husband and I and your videos always hit home 😊
That note about walking away from a heated argument so that both can come back to it with clearer heads, and a better understanding of the other's point of view; That's me too.
