Did you subscribe?
Yesssssssssss
I did too
Of course!!!! You guys are my Idols!!! My dream is to meet/Collab with you guys someday!!!!!
Yes🥰🥰
Yessss
This relationship is so refreshing. No bs No romanticizing every single thing. It felt real, you guys felt real. Definitely not just some influencers. Love this and can’t wait for more episodes.
I so agree!! I am 61 years old but they are so cute, respectful. I had rather watch them than turn my TV on. Lol That says a lot.
She was 17 the first time I saw her. She was 20 and I was 23 when we were married. I can relate to many of the experiences the two of you have had, and just wanted to let you know 4 kids, 11 grandchildren, and 47 years later, I'd rather be with her than anyone else.
That is so sweet!! 😭♥️
Oh that is the sweetest thing I heard 🥹. god bless you ❤
I'm CRYING this is so cute!!!
🥹❤️🙌🏼
Matt's voice breaking ever so slightly while talking about falling in love with Abbie is just precious!!!!
Not trying to hate… but its Abby… not Abbie
@brook lol
Leave Maddie alone lol
Me and my husband got married at 18 and 19 and will be celebrating 6 years in March. We have 2 toddlers and a set of twins. We keep God in the center of our marriage and that is what makes our marriage thrive ! ✨️
"When you get married, you marry a set of problems." "Choose your hard." Such helpful advice, that really puts it into perspective!! I enjoyed this podcast and hearing your beautiful story. It's fun to see you guys in a different way than on your RUclips channel!! Excited for future episodes:)
I’m always so amazed at Matt’s ability to be vulnerable. He shares his emotions with Abby in such a way I haven’t seen many men do. She’s is a luck girl atleast in that regard.
Yes! I think this may be why I want to share this podcast with my husband. They communicate beautifully
Bc there’s sugar in the tank 🥴 ballet tap dancing wears more rings than a female 🧐
@@kristennelson2480what does this even mean? that only gay men share their feelings? get a life.
@@kristennelson2480 oh fuck off and stop projecting your husband not loving you
I’m 44 and absolutely adore you both. You bring a very innocent vibe to how marriage should be. I been married for 23 years and I can say you both are my role models for a good marriage. It’s not easy! Today is my 23rd wedding anniversary. 5 kids and 1 granddaughter later, and here we are. It goes by sooooo fast! Enjoy it, love each other, don’t go to bed angry, communicate and become the best of friends. Griffin is an absolutely adorable baby. You guys do make a beautiful baby, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for growing your family. Fun fact, after we had our first daughter, we ended up having twins! 😊
TWINS!? Holy cow! Your house must be a party! Thank you so much for the kind words. We truly are so blessed to have people like you apart of this community. And your marriage advice is so good. It's scary how fast life is flying by
Happy Anniversary 😊 Today (Wednesday), is our 14th anniversary & you're right - time flies.
Happy 23rd anniversary 🎉
@@clairegresswell happy anniversary to you too ✨️
Happy Anniversary!!!
I pray you two never forget how blessed you are to have found each other so young and to have been on the same page at the same time as far as the direction you both wanted your lives to go. Your maturity level and wisdom regarding marriage at your age could teach people twice your age a thing or two. Very inspiring! Many blessings to you and your little family as you continue on
Please God Bless You Them And Everyone Amen Halleujah💕💚❤️👼🏻🕊️🇻🇦😇✝️🙏🏻💛🫶
True. Blessings ❤
As an 18 yr old in a committed relationship for over two years this was so educating, like i feel so normal now, all my friends are out there partying but im already getting serious about things and thinking about marriage.
Same! My husband and I were 17 and 18 when we started dating and we were serious right off the bat. Got married when we both were 21 (I’m now 22) and have no regrets! None of our friends could relate though, since most of them hadn’t been in any relationships, so it feel a little strange talking to them about our plans for marriage in the beginning. But I’d definitely recommend young marriage!
I‘m 20 and have been in a relationship with my 22 year old boyfriend for over 3 years. We are not planning to get married anytime soon (we want to be financially stable first), but we talk about marriage and kids all of the time and know we want to spend our lives together. There is no point in dating around, when you just know you have found the right person for you ❤
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that coming from a 25 year old! Hookup culture has our minds warped. There's nothing wrong with settling down Young. There's nothing wrong with enjoying your youth in a different way with somebody by your side ❤️
I think you can still do both though, my partner and I love going out (together!) to parties, drink the night away and are still sure we want the same things as you in the future! Partying doesn't have to mean hook up culture is the only reason for that - just to give another perspective :)
I am 19 and i got married this year. It is a totally valid path to consider
As an engaged woman, this is SO full of things I needed to hear. Thank you!
This is insane I’m so happy you guys finally made a podcast. The quality is really good especially since this is your first one. Congrats guys ❤🎉❤
Much appreciated!
@@UnplannedPodcast ❤
I’m just speechless they did this tbh. Abby seemed to be suppperrrr shy to just talk in general but to have a podcast and have conversations as serious and loving as these…. Is a game changer. Thanks guys for this!
It would be really interesting to hear your parents' perspective on that period of time when you were wanting to get married and they thought it was too early.
... parents should be first guests!!
WE SHOULD BRING THEM ON THE PODCASt
@@UnplannedPodcast YESSSSSSSS
@@UnplannedPodcast YESSSSSSS
@@UnplannedPodcast I hope you guys do. I miss Matt’s dad’s humor.
Got married at 20. Wife was 19. The amount of “is she pregnant” questions I got was absolutely insane.
I was 17½, he was 18. Believe me when I say, the "is she pregnant" questions were maddening.
No. Definitely not pregnant.
Yes, we really did get married.
No, it wasn't a spur of the moment decision.
Yes, we actually meant to do it.
We had plans to get married. He was going on a mission for two years. He ended up not being able to go. We decided to get married, knowing it was what we wanted. We just celebrated 8 years strong and he is the Matt to my Abby, my everything.
I can't imagine. I'm pregnant with my first at 25 and my husband 28, and even a that we've had people assume it was an unplanned pregnancy just because we're younger and didn't wait very long after getting married.
WE’RE SO EXCITED FOR THIS PODCAST ❤
Love listening to this full on throwback of your life together ❤
This reminds me SO MUCH about my relationship with my husband! We met and started dating at 15
He was my first kiss
We got married on our 8 year dating anniversary
We are now 26 and expecting our first baby in 2 months ❤️
I got married at 19 and my husband was 20, when you know you know. 5 years later we have a little boy who is about a week younger than Griffin 😍 being married young is such a blessing
Almost certain they're announcing a 2nd pregnancy in the next few episodes. Matt saying "your last pregnancy" and the look on her face lolol.
Time stamp?
@@lakeshowFan2222 23:05
Well you were correct 🤣
omgg i just realized they cut that part out he said “with your last..” and it cut to her saying “pregnancy made me very emotional”
If they do ill be very sad and disappointed given her hernia surgery and how young Griffin is. Hoping it's just a blip for the future
My husband and I got married young and were in college. Everyone asks if we felt like we missed out on the college experience, but when you spend that time with the person you’re going to spend forever with, to me that was so much better than any party could offer. I’m definitely pro young marriage. I wouldn’t want my life any other way!
Also, I’m so glad you guys are doing podcasts now!! Bring on the long episodes! Love you guys!
I am so happy you have a podcast. I completely felt the unplanned no schedule part ! You are such an inspiration and honestly I love your relationship and how open you are !
I married my best friend. ❤. He told me in the 6th grade that he was gonna marry me. We got to together in high school. We have been married for 38 years. Loving my husband is as easy as breathing ❤❤❤❤❤.
What I love about you two is the level of maturity that each of you have, which btw is way beyond your years. Your understanding of commitment, give and take and marriage is something that takes some people years to grasp ... if ever. I've been following your adventures for about a year now and I look forward to each new post. Sometimes I feel guilty ... like I'm prying into someone's personal life, but I just can't help it - your both so darn adorable! Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us. May you never lose the spark that you have for life and each other.
“Your understanding of commitment, give and take and marriage is something that takes some people years to grasp” I think they did premarital counseling before getting married. I wonder if that’s why they have such wisdom on these issues.
I loved the part where you talked about wishing you could go back to that place of long distance and young love.
I'm in a long distance relationship (year 4 of it!) and I KNOW I'm so ready for marriage, but I also need to remember that this time is precious as well and not to waste it.
The intro is already iconic pls😭😭😭 so excited for the rest of the episodes!! 💓
I am 15 and still have never dated anyone 😂, but your love story is so sweet and I’m learning I just have to be patient because I will find the one because what you guys have is magical and one day I will have that. Love your family and man Griffin is growing up so fast but has amazing parents that love him sooooo much. Love the new podcast and thanks for putting a smile on my face when I really needed it. Can’t wait for more episodes this one was soo good
The fact that you both would want to go back in time and do it all over again makes me cry is so wholesome you 2 were made for each other
We were both 15 when we 'dated' and he actually proposed. I laughed. I was only allowed to double date so we only went out
2 times. He would mosyly hang out at my house. We didn’t last. Fast forward 7 years. l just returned home from college, he called me. 6 months later we married at age 22. We shared 30 fantastic years together and had 2 sons. He was and still is the love of my life. He was the most incredible person and awesome husband. He died suddenly at home from a heart attack. Life has never been the same. Sixteen years later and l still miss him every day. 😢
SO EXCITED FOR THIS NEW CHAPTER ❤
I’ve finally found a person/couple to relate to. I have a pretty serious relationship with my boyfriend and my mom is definitely my best friend forever, and sometimes I even feel guilty for spending time with my significant other, instead of with her. I know it’s kinda inevitable, because you grow up and find a partner for you, however I just do everything to keep the best relationship with my mother❤️
Hii, I don't know how old are u or how long you are in a relationship, but I just wanted to let you know that if you spend less time with someone, doesn't mean that you are not close anymore like I have friends from pre-school that we chat like twice a year now but we just know that if anything comes up we are there for each other, but life happens, your relationship with your friends and family will change eventually and it's inevitable.
Also if you guys are in this relationship for like 5-6 months, just give yourselves time to learn the skill of balancing, when u are in that phase u are new and u need time to figure out so many things, just don't be hard on yourself.
@@sabanavaei5293 Excellent counsel Saba!
This is so sweet reminds me of me and my husband’s early dating days. We got married at age 20 and my family was sooo not into it, but we loved each other so much. My grandma said she wouldn’t pay for my college anymore and a cousin tried to bribe me, but we didn’t care we were going to make it work financially. Now we are 27 and about to have our 4th baby and I would never change any of that. I do miss those sweet dating days when strangers would come up to us and say how they knew we were so in love because we were! It’s so sweet to hear your story and I think it’s great that you guys waited till marriage what a blessing I hope some young people can be inspired to do the same.
I feel like I relate to y’all in so many ways. I was engaged at 17🙈 married 6 months later after I turned 18 in 2017. We had known each other since ages 8 and 9. Getting married young was the best decision. We’ll celebrate our 6 year anniversary in August and then our sons first birthday in September🥰 Thank you for this podcast!
Thank you both so much for this. You guys have been so encouraging and inspiring to me. I'm 21 and my fiancé is 19 and we are getting married in May. We have been dating almost 5 years. I have always felt judged and sometimes unsupported for being in a committed relationship since high-school and for wanting to get married young. My fiancé and I grew up together and we knew we wanted to get married pretty quick into our dating relationship. We starting dating when I was 16 and he was 15. It's been hard to find people to relate to. I really resonated with what you guys said about your parents sending you to talk to people to basically talk you out of marriage so young. I felt like the same thing happened to me. It's such a blessing to watch you two love and respect each other. It's encouraging that you built a healthy marriage so young in your life, I'm learning so much from you both. I'm very thankful for what you all do. You guys are awesome, thank you for taking the time to share your life with everyone, I know that's not always easy. Love you guys, God bless:)
My fiance and I have been together for four years and are now recently engaged to be married this November 4th. It will be a total of 5 years of being together (met at 18 & 19 will be 23 & 24). We too have decided to wait until marriage to become one since the start of our relationship. I could not have said it better myself, waiting until marriage has showed us that we truly know and love each other without having to take our clothes off. We have done over 3 years of long distance, due to his college being so far. We see each other on the weekends and breaks. Waiting until marriage and dealing with long distance is difficult for sure, but it really does show you how strong your love is! Listening to this podcast has only increased my excitement and joy for marriage! Thank you for being such a positive influence on marriage and how beautiful it truly is!
Their is definitely a maturity to you both, and knowing and having the commitment to each other, within the sanctuary of marriage, for it to last forever. Wonderful how you both are experiencing new ventures together and it is certainly working! And also, you are aware of the impact you may have, in discussions you choose to have, to make a difference in other young people watching your podcast, who are admiring and looking up to you. Your keeping it grounded and real with life for others in your age group and even older to see.
I've been watching Matt & Abby for a while, and watching this podcast has really made me feel normal about young love and marriage. My boyfriend and I are 23 and 24. We've been dating since 2021(making two years in a weeks time) but we have literally been ready for marriage about 6 months into dating each other. We both admitted to being in love with each other a month into the relationship and he's even told me if he was financially stable enough, we'd already have a kid or 2. What I am trying to say is, Watching Matt and Abby's relationship really makes young love feel real. We aren't the majority. Most people want to 'enjoy' their young ages by playing the field and whatnot but I feel like when you know, you know and I am glad that my boyfriend and I don't have to feel like we're the only ones in the world with this mentality. Espeically in this day and age where love and relationships seem to be fading... our plan is to be married on December 12, 2026
The lighting, the sound, the vibes, the content…. AMAZING. 🎉 Congratulations on episode 1!
I feel like I am hearing my hubby and I speaking about our young marriage 26 years ago! I’m following your content because it is refreshing to see young people look at marriage and family in a positive light and see you working hard to keep it going well.
Please, never stop doing Podcasts! This is so wholesome!
I love hearing your story! Reminds me of being 17 myself and falling in love with my now-husband :) Slightly different because while I was finishing up high school, he was a little older and living on his own, working, partying, etc. Two weeks after we met, I went to his 20th birthday and we have been inseparable since. We were non-traditional college students - went (together) almost 3 years after getting married. We chose similar degrees and had a lot of classes together which was SO MUCH FUN. I enjoyed doing it with my best friend! Coming up on 10 years married, dating for 13, and due with our second child in June. Beyond blessed.
Hearing about your wedding reminds me mine and my husband's wedding. We had cake, snacks, no sit down meal, and a HUGE dance. Everyone just danced so much and we've been married 10 years and people still talk about how much fun our wedding was. That makes some of the best memories ever!
I met my husband when I was 17 and so was he and we got married at 19 and we will be celebrating 10 years being married soon. We have 3 beautiful children. Love listening to you guys!
finally a married couple who actually should be doing a podcast.
There are so many ways to get the pell grant. Getting married married isn’t the only way. Being : if you do not have parents, you parents do not claim you anymore, etc
Also many families are low income… low income people qualify for the Pell grant in general even students that are still home with their parents
I was married at 19 and my husband 21. Also we met and started dating at 14 and 16. I relate so much to you guys. Love everything about this podcast and especially when you said “you marry problems. There is no perfect marriage.” I can’t wait to watch the rest.
Absolutely loved this! My husband and I got together our sophomore/senior year of high school and then got married at 19 and 21 and we really related to your guys’ story❤️
LITERALLY BEEN DREAMING OF THIS PODCAST FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!❤
So cute. I met my husband at 25, he was 35. Almost 30 years together & his kiss still melts me. ❤
I was married at 19. Literally 8 days before I turned 20. We will be celebrating 9 years of marriage this year and going strong with our two little girls ages 5 and 2 🎉🎉
What what what what
So sweet 💕
So glad for you💛
I was married at 19, got abused for 4 years, 2 kids later, years of trauma, he got arrested and I left him, and now 5 years later were in a court battle 🤣 I'm glad yours worked out though 😅
I was married at 18 we had our first child when I was 19 and 34 years later, still happily married. There were a few rocky years in there, but we got through it and were better on the other side.
I loved hearing that Abby’s parents were not on board with being married young because I had the same experience! It’s so comforting to know that happened to other people
Oh my gosh I love this so much! You guys remind me of my parents- they got married at 19 and 20 and had their first baby at 23. Still happily married! I am so glad you started this podcast
Idk why but I wasn't expecting your podcast would be this much FUN than lot's of other podcasts!!!! I'm just smiling and laughing for literally 32mins now. So excited for the next episodes!!!
My husband and I met when we were 14 & 16. Got engaged at 16 &18. Then got married at 19 & 21. We have been happily married for 31 years, have 4 children and now 4 grandbabies! Sometimes, it works out to do it young! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness 😊
i’m curious on how your parents reacted/what they thought when you got engaged at such a young age, especially while still in highschool.
I love this!!! I remember how you both used to say that you had nothing to talk about in a podcast and yet here you are both being so real that I couldn’t stop listening. I’m a young adults counselor and I listened to your first episode today after work. Listening to both of you talk about your young love experience has honestly made my day. I’m so happy that you guys changed your mind about doing a podcast. 😊 Best wishes to you both and baby Griffin! ✨
This was great!! I was 18 and my husband was 22 when we got married, and we will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary this year! 🥰💗
Omg Abby getting emotional about Griffin going to college. I’ve never related so much to a crazy flood of emotion. Becoming a parent is unexplainable. ❤
This made me cry !
My fiancé and I meat at 14&15 were 18&19 now he turns 20 in March and he proposed to me this year. We knew we wanted to get married very very early on! His parents have been super supportive, and while my parents were happy for us to get engaged my dad has really been pushing us to wait till we’re older to get married! The truth is we love each other, and we are willing to push through anything together ! We have agreed since early on that we were going ti be committed no matter what ! We have got a lot of hate for planning to get married so young ! We’re are so freaking excited and sometimes it really hurts my feelings that my dad and mom don’t support our decision! Watching this has really inspired me to do what you feel is best ! I know they won’t be upset long and I know they just care and want to be sure we’re making the best decision!!! Thank you so much I love y’all so much !!! I can’t wait for us to be where you guys are at now in the years to come !!! Y’all’s family is so precious!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im 62. I got married at 17. My husband was 20. I met him when i was 8. We were pen pals for years.
We did the til death model.
Marriage is HARD. But it's worth it.
We were married 30 years.
He's been gone 15 years, and i would do it all over again. Every step every fight, everything made our life ours.
Being married young brings its own set of challenges.
The only marriage advice I'd ever give is, never give up at the same time... and divorce is never the option. As long as you never put it on the table , you can make it work.
Omg im literally crying!!! I have to comment twice, bc yall I just can't rn.! There so kind and caring and loving and have morals and values! And they way they talk to one another and how he looks at her when she is taking! Pure love and I wish I seen more couples like this. Instead every other scroll im seeing some disrespectful dude talking about his gf ass and just nasty things. This is so refreshing. ♥️♥️ I genuinely love the both of you and your beautiful baby boy and I pray for nothing but the best in every way in life
This is amazing! I’m 20, I’m getting married in June. My fiancé is 25. We are also waiting until marriage. I love that part about choosing your hard 🥰
I'm 26 and a mom to a 2 year old and you two are the best, it's so nice finding a young couple who had a baby young to be able to relate to and realize when my daughter was a little thing all the crazy things I went through was actually normal
The beginning of your relationship totally reminds me of mine and it’s good to find people that are older than me that can relate to wear I am in life. ❤❤
Although, we’ve known your story because we have followed you two for a long time, I loved listening to this! We have a similar age / timeline for our marriage and my husbands parents didn’t want us to get married young either. My parents had draw backs but they kind of accepted it haha. We Started dating at 17 our senior year of high school, said I love you after a month, talked about marriage a few days later. We just knew and were committed to marrying each other. Because of our parents we ended up getting married 4 and half years later after I graduated and my husband had 1 more year of school due to a transferring credits issue. I truly do feel like we could have gotten married at least two years before that! But the timing worked out and we grew a lot in our dating relationship. And I totally felt like people judged us getting married young so I understand where Matt was coming from but we simultaneously were so proud to be married. We live in CA and young marriage is not so much the culture here and also it’s super expensive in CA so that comes with it’s own road blocks lol. None of our close college friends are married or even in relationships so we made it a point to join a small group at church with married couples and it’s been such a blessing! But we did see a good number of young married couples in college because we went to a Christian school. And we love you guys because we relate to you and you’re just honest and real! I’m super excited about this podcast even though I’m not much of a podcast person. I totally wish I could be your friend in real life!

I was a college advisor and just want to clarify that the pell grant is not just for people who get married. It's anyone whose income Iow enough to qualify. When you lived with your parents, and apply for financial aid, you're considered dependents and their income is factored in. So they probably made enough money that you didn't qualify for it. Once you get married, you're considered independent and only your income is factored in regardless if they are helping you with school or not
My boyfriend and I are wanting to get married this summer after his high school graduation. Thank you guys for talking about how y’all met and fell in love. It makes me feel better knowing that I’m not crazy for wanting to get married so young 😂 I love him and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
I resonate with you Abby! I am the oldest daughter of 6 kids. My mom has always been my best friend and I’ve always been sort of the back bone of the family, or at least felt like it. I’m 25 and my family has been first for me my whole life until I met the love of my life last year. And now I’ve found my best friend and it’s just been hard for my parents and family to transition to this new season. And it stinks being the oldest!
My husband basically asked me to marry him before we officially started dating. We were friends and would talk often over the phone while I was away at school. When I came back home he told me he wanted to date, but that he didn’t want to date for just for fun, it was with the intention of getting married and if I couldn’t see that happening then we shouldn’t date. 😂 Now, we’ve been married 11 years and have 3 kids.
It goes SOOOO fast, my oldest just started college, and what use to seem so far away, became reality in the blink of an eye. Fun fact she is a theater kid, and misses it sooo much! ❤ You guys!!
Totally felt the emotion when talking about Griffin going to college. Been feeling those feels a lot lately. Love you guys, and how relatable y'all are!
Oh my goodness. I didn’t know I needed this. I love you guys so much and what you’re willing to share with us all. ❤️ You guys are so authentic and I love it
The last ten minutes was something I didn’t know I needed to hear. How important marriage is. Thank you guys for sharing that
This was so cute and I can really relate. My husband and I married when I was 20 and he was 19. We eloped (I didn’t even think of it like that back then but we definitely did haha) Looking back I can see how insane it probably looked to everyone and as a mother now I can only imagine how I would feel if one of my children did the same. It was the best decision we’ve ever made though, 13 years and three kids later and we’re still best friends ❤
This was great - seriously, it was one of the best podcast episodes I've heard in quite a bit! Ya'll were genuine & engaging, plus the flow of your questions and how you spoke to each other were remarkable! I'm so glad yall decided to do this! 🤗❤️
The beginning of your relationship was like my brother and his wife's amazing story. They met at 13, got engaged at 19, and married at 21. They had a 9 & 6 year old. It was 2007 he is 33. He was on his way home from work and lost control of his truck and hit a tree. He was in a coma for 11 days and he passed May 27, 2007. They had 20 beautiful years together at such a young age. May God bless you guys. Your relationship seems so genuine and 100% real. Always cherish each other.
My niece and her husband did exactly like you guys. They are devout Christians just like my brother and his wife. They've followed in their footsteps. My niece is 22 and got married at 19.
What a sweet but heart breaking story!
My husband and I got married at 23, we were engaged after 1.5 years of dating and married after 2 years of knowing each other. Waited until marriage, and I also am still finishing my last year of college. Can confirm it was the best decision for us!
My husband and I got together 2 weeks after my 19th birthday and he was 22. We grew our friendship/true love bond in the beginning similar to you.
Now, in April of THIS YEAR, we'll be together for 30 YEARS! We have 1 son and he's 28 (that's a tough one) and my husband IS my best friend and we are strong as a family for sure. (not grandparents yet, though)!!
After all these years, it still feels new he still gives me butterflies. You guys always talk with each other and be honest. You're future is going to be SO beautiful down the road and one day you'll be approaching your 30 year mark together.
There's so many beautiful memories ahead....ENJOY EVERYTHING!! LOVE EACH OTHER HARD EVERYDAY AND REMIND EACH OTHER FREQUENTLY HOW MUCH YOU NEED EACH OTHER! 💕
Is this going to be on Spotify?!!! So excited! 🤩
YES! Coming soon :)
@@UnplannedPodcast yayy!
I love how relatable this all is. I got married 4 months after I turned 21. Been married 11 years now. Marriage is SO much work. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes!
I felt like I was hanging out with 2 best people whom I've known for from such a long time. I love how you shed light into the reality of marriage at a young age and the process that leads up to that moment - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'm inspired by your videos and your family and I honestly can't wait to move out and live my life when I'm financially and emotionally able to do so! You guys are such a positive inspiration to me!! :)
And for Matt, what a good man to wait as well! I think waiting makes you both respect each other more❤
My husband and I got married at 19 and 20 (we’re 22 and 23 now and expecting our second child) and it broke my heart how many people just straight up told me I was making a mistake. And it was adults that I knew who had also got married young and were still married so I thought they would be on my side. The only people who were super excited for us were my husband’s parents and an older couple we became really close with which helped a lot. But it really hurt my relationship with all of those people, because it didn’t make me feel like I was making a mistake or cause me to reconsider. It just felt like no one was on my (our) side and like no one trusted my ability to make a decision because I was positive 1000% that marrying my husband then was the right thing to do and what God was leading us to do.
I absolutely loved your advice for marriage towards the end of this episode, and how you said that no matter where you live, or who follows you, or what your life circumstances are, you won’t evade problems in life. So TRUE! 🙌🏻
My fiancé and I are going to be 20 when we get married this July! We have been together for 4 years now and been friends since middle school. I love to hear your guys’ story and how you guys made getting married in college. So excited for future episodes!
I'm 70yrs old and have been married with my best friend for 45 years. You both have a great relationship and I love to listen to your thoughts about life. Keep it up
This is so good!!!! I am not even half way through and I love it so much! I have been waiting for this podcast. When you guys posted the picture and RUclips channel I subscribed immediately, I love this setting having it unedited and you guys just being truthful ❤❤ It was such a good first episode 🎉❤ Congrats Matt and Abby on your podcast 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Great advice about resolving conflict and knowing that you’re marrying a set of problems ❤ that’s a great gauge to see if you’re willing to accept the other persons problems and having confidence that you’ll be able to work it out together is so important.
If it’s not like that, then the person isn’t meant for you in my opinion. No matter how long you’ve been with someone, don’t commit if you can’t accept those things.
Adore you guys and so happy for you and your family. A positive couple to watch and this episode was such a great start. Can’t wait to watch more on Wednesday ❤
I love how Matt is literally just holding his toes 😂
I was looking for this comment 😂😂
They're pretty fun to hold
You guys have no idea how much you made my day just by answering!! I love you guys so much! You really take the time into reading our comments and responding! Even if it is just me talking about Matt’s toes😅
Matt holding his. Toes is everything 😂😂😂
Not the dogs😂
It’s kind of crazy watching this because it’s so similar to my wife and I’s experience. We started dating in High School, got engaged our Sophomore year of college, waited until we got married as well, finally got married at 20 (me) / 21 (her) in Jan 2020, bought our first house literally 5 months later, and just had our first child in September! I’ve been watching y’all since you had the apartment in Springfield. Super cool to be watching the podcast! 🎉
I can’t even explain how happy i am about this podcast!! I started watching you all in your tiny apartment right after college. It’s so fun to hear you guys talk about your story thru high school and college. Ah love you guys!!
Hubby and I got married at 19 and 22 and both still in college. Waited for marriage. Been married for 11 years! Loved your advise for others and also bringing up my own memories of those early days. You guys are great!
is no one gonna talk about how matt is literally holding hands with his toes 😭😂❤️
HAHHAA yes Matt you don’t have to hold hands w your feet 😂
Loved this episode! Brought back so many of my own memories of getting married young. I was 19 close to 20 husband was 22 almost 23, we've been married for 34 years now, with 10 kids and 1 grandbaby. Thanks for letting me relive my own early marriage times. 😊❤ So much fun to grow together.
You guys are such naturals at this podcast thing, seems like you’ve been doing it forever ❤️👏🏼
My husband and I share a very similar story to you guys! Getting married in college is one of the best things you can do emotionally and financially! We went to a state school and now we have no debt. Work hard in high school people it pays off big!!
Yes Abby! Everyone deserves to be loved, so let them know and let them know often!!
As a new mom, I’d love to hear about any struggles you’ve had with parenthood and breastfeeding! Most people on social media make the adjustment seem so easy when it’s really not. Would love to hear how it really has been for you!
I love that you don't romanticized relationships, and that you are fully aware that love is about being committed to you each other and working together to fix your issues as a couple. Also the fact that Matt said there is no perfect marriage is key. Nowadays there so many people who pretend to have the perfect relationship when that does not exist
The way the talk about the dating stage being so magical 😭😭🥺it so is. People always want to move forward and never treasure now. Dating is so fun!!!
I absolutely love this ❤️ My husband and I got married at 19 & 20, so I relate to this a lot. We've been married 14 years this year 🙏
This is so good! I am 35 (f), and this still applies to me, and I love watching you guys. I think you were so mature and responsible with what you wanted and chose. I think for many people, that's just not the case that is young, and that's fine because getting married can happen later. I definitely think waiting until out of college is wise, but that's obviously very personal, and you guys talked about all the ways it benefited you to be married when you were. I only know one person from my h.s.
that married very young and is still married. Stats are stats for a reason, but I believe you guys guys did a great explanation of your situation and story, and that's awesome! Congrats
