- Thanks to everyone that requested to "meet" Gunnar. We finally had a chance to sit down and record this video. Because we talked for almost an hour, I cut the video up into two parts.

Gunnar is so quiet and chill. I love how you both compliment each other and he is so positive. You guys are lovely.
Aww, thank you!
I couldn't agree more !!! 💗
“Likes to clean up” that’s always a sign that you’re with a Keeper.
Agreed! 😂
Amen!! 🙌
You two are so cute! The Viking and the Queen!
Aww, thank you. That is very sweet of you to say.
Ohh i love this comment
@@AllThingsIceland to
Beautiful comment.
💯 agree 😄
He's not even American!!!
He’s so mellow. Seems like he has a very calming spirit. People like this are necessary. Thanks for letting us “meet” him lol
He is quite calming. My pleasure. Thank you for watching and the lovely comment. 😊
💯
Gunnar would be a good ASMR artist, he has a calm aura and a nice voice for it too.
Nice video! 😊
He'll be happy to hear that. :-)
Soft spoken, gentle and smart. Thanks for introducing him to us. I automatically liked you when I saw a first video last week. Great to get to know you a little more. You both make a lovely couple.
Aww. thanks. :-)
@@AllThingsIceland You two are so cute together for sure!
@@ElisandTheAroids Thanks. :-)
Grandma Judi feels the same way in Illinois.
Is Gunnar typical of an Icelandic man? He is so laid back and sensitive. He’s very respectful of you as you are of him too. I think you need to clone him and export him around the world. I’ll order one please 😁
😂😂 if only it was that easy girl! Mail order hubby
Brit JJ i would order one with Gunnar functionality. The model with ‘gazes at you lovingly when you speak’ option! Not sure if that would cost extra but I’d pay it 😁
Lambchop2701 😆
I'm in
I want to be on the mailing list as well! 🙂
Gunnar is such a soft spoken person. I feel like if he was my psychologic I would find him very trusting.
Psychologist.
There is so much positivity and peacefulness in this video its pretty incredible. I love to see how much respect and love there is between the two of you.
Yes.
Quit and gentle meets talkative and lively
Wow, he is so soft-spoken. You are a fascinating couple. Thanks for sharing
"Thank you for being so willing to cook" Such mutual respect without a hint if expectation, that's lovely ❤️
He has a very calming spirit...very cute couple, thanks for sharing.
There's this "thing" you guy have that's indescribable💖
Thanks ❤️
Oh my gosh ♥️ this couple. Adorable. I’m sensing honest and true love.
Thank you. That is very sweet to say. 😊
I'm sensing a baby...
Shera Woodbury ..... I hope you’re right. The baby would be absolutely beautiful.
@@deborah5303 My mother's name is Deborah!!! (Rip mommy) I know I am absolutely right now! Stay blessed 💞
Omg!!! You two are so perfect together !!! Your children are going to be gorgeous!!! I love watching you two.
Thank you 🤗
The two of you make such a sweet couple! The way that you look at each other is so beautiful. Excited for part two. Love your channel and learning about Iceland. 💙
Thank you for the lovely comment and checking out the video.
If your husband or wife does something that annoys you, just think about life without that person and you will realize that it does not matter
Brenda Bentham excellent point! 💛
@@WendiWells 😊☺️Thank you 🤗
Sooooo true
I am BrendaMarie Another Brenda Marie here... I lost my husband to leukemia last year and I hear you.
@@graytart hugs and kisses Brenda Marie
Oh my gosh Gunnar your wife is so beautiful I can feel the warmth from her soul.
Can we please see more videos of you walking or driving around Iceland . I’m so interested in the lifestyle there
The two of you compliment each other really well. He seems like a mild tempered, level headed man. Nice vid!
Beautiful couple. I love that she is learning the language.
😊
I smiled almost the entire time while watching the video!!
The way you two look at each other is so sweet!
Aww, thanks!
He's so chill. Wow! You're so blessed to have a husband like him.
Your husband is easy to love!!!! You are very fortunate, but then so is he!!
He's such a sweetie pie and you two are a really great couple.
Oh my god! You two are ridiculously cute together! Gunnar, it’s so nice to meet you! Thank you for indulging all of us out here in RUclips land. It was very interesting to hear about your life growing up, and both of your answers to the fun questions. I think the only thing I imagined a little differently is Gunnar’s mannerism. I wasn’t expecting Gunnar to be quite so reserved and mild-mannered because Jewells is so bubbly! But, maybe that’s because he was a bit nervous...? I can tell your personalities really compliment each other, and I can definitely see how you balance each other out. I laughed so hard about the crunching thing! I also love to crunch chips, carrots, etc. Even if I’m trying to eat crunchy things quietly, I’m just not! My husband and I have been married for 26 years... it still kind of bugs him so I just make it a point to try not to do it around him. 🤣 Can’t wait for part 2!
We were happy to do it. Gunnar had woken up right before we filmed, so he was a little tired still. Yea, we definitely balance each other out. LOL I am glad I am not the only one that loves to make crunching noises. Part 2 is coming up next week :-)
Jewells Chambers ahhh! So we got to see slightly groggy Gunnar! He can pop out of bed like a super hero... but it’s nice to know he’s human. 😀 Me? I have the hardest time waking up... my brain doesn’t function at 100% for a couple hours after waking up and I run into walls a lot 🤣 So, I get it. 💛
Same here! My first vid with them. I'm a newbie. With so much racial tension and silliness in the states, it's a breath of fresh air watching this very complimentary pair share their lives. Hope to see more of them both! Bet he's a great psycholoist. She can be a positive motivational speaker. So smart. God put them together! Sometimes it's good just to WAIT for the right person to come into your life!
Omg shes like my sister from another time. I married a Norwegian named Gunnar, 19 years later I'm still Norwegian. I loved Iceland to maybe next time we can take coffee. also yeah they say it is good to immediately get up in the mornings. Ty for sharing brought a smile to my day.
Can we get a Gunnar Asmr series, very calming.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Oh damn you got yourself a real snack of a husband there! And he's so lovely and chill and sweet! Good going he's a keeper!
Very nice “interview”. He has an interesting point of view, and it was a pleasure to listen to him and hear his experiences. I really like how you compliment each other.
I just have to say thank you. Thank you for sharing your love with the world. The 2 of you are love. And it’s so wonderful to see. Thank you.
Thank you ❤️
The purse on the floor lol so American! Mine never goes on the floor either- makes you broke (superstition but I still won’t put it on the floor).
I know that's a superstition with some Black, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx communities in the U.S. The reason I also heard is "a purse on the floor means your money's out the door," aka being broke.
Just learned the adage has Gullah-Geechee origin. Who knew? 🤷🏾♀️
I learned not to put my purse on the floor from my Taiwanese friend. Yes, it is bad luck there. She is very adamant to the point that she will pick it up if I or any of her other American friends forget. I think it is sweet.
I thought that was only a thing from the Balkans. I know it from Bosnia and didn’t take it seriously, but now as I read how widely spread this belief is around the world, I might overthink....... 😅
Also never sweep someone’s feet bc that means they’re never going to get married
I really enjoy watching people truly in love. I started to wonder if true love even existed anymore. Thank you for showing me that it does still exist. Watching you two is truly a joy. Please film together more often.
Monogamous relationship wise choise. Cherish it! Protect it with your life.
You are both so incredibly lovely. It is easy to see why you both fell in love so fast. Thanks for sharing with us!
Aww, thank you 😊
So sweet!!!
I tend to naturally be my most feminine around "foreign" men so I totally get the appeal!
Beautiful!!! Gorgeous couple, a perfect balance. You now have a new subscriber. Sending Love to you both from Seattle 💜💚💚
Thank you. We send love back to you.
You have very nice personality and your husband. You seem to be made for each other. I enjoyed the video.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful couple. They even have the same features.
That's what I thought, too!
Agreed!!!
He is so soft spoken! He needs his own asmr channel!
What is asmr please?
@@Abena425 Just look it up on RUclips. Its kinda hard to explain. AUTONOMOUS SENSORY MERIDIAN RESPONSE is what it stands for.
Tingles and relaxation from certain sound.
@@grneyez2005 Thanks dear. I will for sure. You learn something new every day.
I love the part about Gunnar cleaning up after dinner. My husband of 51 years does the same thing.
Gunnar seems to be so soft spoken and polite. I’ve found that most of the Icelandic musicians I listen to /follow have the same tone.
Is this just cultural thing ? America can learn a thing or two ☺️
I'm not sure if it is a cultural thing but I'm glad he is this way.
America roasted! Ouch most countries can too learn from him :(
There are plenty of Americans like that, y’all just shout over us all the time and call us anti-social.
@Mr. & Mrs Smith For instance, in many (if not most) countries and their respective cultures, ad hominem would be considered lacking in "manners" and "respect"😀
I do agree with your point, though.
@@LoveK1 yessss
What a sweet husband! You’re so blessed!
Thank you for making these videos and sharing your life's experience with us . God bless .
Thank you for the lovely comment and watching. 😊
I loved seeing Gunnar on your show! And what a healthy, loving relationship you have together. You are both an inspiration Please more Gunnar on your videos! Lots of love and blessings to you both
Very happy for you. I am already following you on Spotify. Thanks so much. Best of Wishes fro the both of you.
Your husband is so well soft spoken .
The way he smiles at her 😍 y’all are so cute 🥰🤗
Lol you always point above your head but no links are ever there. Makes me giggle. You and Gunnar are so cute together and compliment each other well. He’s so quiet and soft, spoken, and calm. It’s refreshing And sweet! You’re lucky and so is he!
Thank you Gunnar for giving us your personal insights. Great interview.
Thank you for watching and the lovely comment.
Y'all are so cute and funny together! I asked my partner the "Who said I love you first ?" question. And WE couldn't remember the first either! But we had a great conversation about each of us separately realizing when we were "in Love" and that the other person was our "home , or our person". Thanks for that!
You two are adorable! I’ve been wanting to visit Iceland for a long time and will be subscribing to your podcast to learn more!
Gunnar and Jewells, you are a lovely couple!
Thanks so much for this! It's so neat to see you and how peaceful you seem as a couple.
Too cute!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Gunnar is a gentle soul and Jewells is a ball of joy. Absolutely lovely couple. I am definately missing Iceland and I am glad I have found your channel. I can now reminisce on the time I spent there. Can't wait to go back and am excited for part 2. Cheers :)
Thanks for watching ad leaving such a lovely comment. Cheers!
OMG. Just subbed this morning.. ears picked up when I heard "in Indiana" and about choked on my coffee at the word Muncie. Chirp Chirp. A fellow Ball State Grad here, though many years older.
I need a my own version of a Gunnar someone to just snuggle in his arms and let him love all of the American hurt and tension away.
Oh my gosh! Wish I was going to grandma to those cutie pies you two will create! What a lovely family you are
I can't wait for the part 2🤗
I made a point of watching your 'how we met' vid first ... it made watching this that much sweeter. The positive energy and calm, confident caring flowing from and between you is a balm in a very chaotic and negative time for many. Please stay well, happy and in love. ❤
Thank you for the lovely comment. I hope you are also well and happy ❤️
Awesome episode. Thank you both!
Thanks for watching, Palli!
You two are the perfect example of opposites, soft spoken smoothe personality. Jules I’d bubbly and out going. Such a breath of fresh air, both perfect in your own way
Oh my God! You guys really make a great couple. Seeing both of you light up when you gaze into the other's eyes is so refreshing.
Aw, thanks. :-)
You’re such a beautiful couple. I love how thoughtful Gunnar is. He doesn’t seem to need to be a certain way…it’s like he’s. Just comfortable being …I feel so calm watching him …you have such a delightful laugh.
Very cute video! What I wanted to say is that I am from Estonia and my mother has told me all my life the exact same thing about putting the bag on the floor! I didn't know this belief existed elsewhere. :D
Absolutely! West Indian- Fathers side, Hoodoo roots - mom's side BOTH have drilled it into my head!
I'm late to the party, just found your channel (I was in Keflavik with the USAF). I love you two, you are so American...talkative, positive, open, oversharing (I LOVE IT)...that's what my husband says attracted him to me. Btw, I am also AA, and my husband is from Italy...HOT, EXCITABLE, EMOTIONAL...wish he had a little Icelandic in him...I could use a break 😜🤪.
😂😂😂 Thank for the lovely comment and the laugh.
LMAO - hot, excitable, emotional....
Hilarious 🤣, my dad is South American and my mom is Italian. The words “quiet & calm” did not exist in our home. When friends would come over they’d be like “are your parents okay, there’s a lot of screaming and yelling?” And I’d be like “they’re fine, just deciding what to make for dinner“. 😁💕
@@TheDel1lah I'm dyyyyyyyyying
TheDel1lah I’m screaming now 🤣🤣love it!
This was fun----Thank you!
The way he looks at you, tells me everything I need to know about your deep connection! Thanks for sharing your story.
Oh, I like him! Soft and gentle, easy-going nature. I want an Icelandic husband now.
😊
I’m very happy for you both!
It’s known that Iceland 🇮🇸 loves black people 2 of my friends married Icelanders and they are happy
Is that right? I want to go to Iceland.
Made for each other ! You’re both amazing! ❤
Hi there! I just stumbled upon your series here on RUclips . So happy I found you, you both carry such a wonderful presence and it was beautiful to listen to a couple who sincerely seem to be in love. So for any negative trolls you may encounter now or in the future, always know you are beautiful and It shines through our phones and computer screens. Thank you for sharing a beautiful moment of your lives with the world 🙏🏽♥️
Thank you very much for the lovely message. ❤️
Thank you for all your great stories:) You two really have similarity in your faces, love to notice that. Wish you a great life together!
Thanks! I wish you a great life too.
Oh damn you got yourself a real snack of a husband there! And he's so lovely and chill and sweet! Good going he's a keeper! Also, he goes all soft in the eyes when he looks at you, and you do when you look at him, and that just is so cute.
a snack? scripture; woman was made for man, not man for woman, however i doubt she respects that.
You are both looking great. That's so cool I got the chance to get to know both of you!
Thank you and likewise, Evan.
I'm here for the licorice and the spicy food. 😂

Actually had a free range life in the 50s and 60s Scarborough, Toronto. No more for kids now. My grandkids are in Bolivia where they can have the same freedom.
“Free range life” love that description. 💕
