You and your husband are the internet parental figures this generation needs

I am 81 male -- this was the best video ever. This should be a MUST WATCH before every wedding and every six months after. Bless you for sharing.

I want to say as a homegrown city boy from the rougher side of town, it’s really refreshing and inspiring to see you guys doing what you’re doin! Growing up in Atlanta you don’t get to see healthy examples of relationships/ marriages and especially good solid men. And I’m learning so much from you guys at 23, you’re even helping me patch things up with my daughters mother whom I hope to marry one day. Keep it up and thank you guys 🙏

It’s so refreshing hearing a girl explain these dynamics and show how she’s made amends with them. Just so cool y’all found so much maturity in your own souls.

“Have grit, and give Grace.” Well said! Words to live by. You are an awesome role model for wives everywhere. From a happily married man for 52 years.

Before getting married - - Do not expect your husband to change for the better once you're married and with kids, because they often don't. It's just too hard for one thing to constantly go against the grain of their own personalities. That doesn't mean it's not possible to change, or that people never change, but don't put put all your hope on or make commitments thinking that good change is a guarantee. - When trying to decide if to have kids or if to marry someone, and if you have doubts, ask yourself - what are his actions? Not what he says, but what does he actually end up DOING? It's easy enough to tell someone you love someone, most people like to hear it, but if it's not followed by actions, then the person you're with is either confused about what love is, or doesn't actually love you but is with you for other reasons. It's hard to realise that because you want to trust them and believe them, but you need to focus on the hard evidence. Ask yourself 'What kind of evidence have I witnessed to far that would lead me to think that he's going to be xyz once he's my husband or a father?' If you have witnessed experienced far more negative actions than positive (addiction issues, mood problems, bad with money, cheating, generally irresponsible) ..........then the likelyhood that this will change once you're married is very, very small. You are taking a huge risk by proceeding further. In fact, if you listen to many women, they will say their husbands changed for the worse when they had kids, simply because they knew their wife was vulnerable and not likely to leave. If he's neurotic, moody and bad tempered now with you......just wait and see what he'll be like with lack of sleep and kids screeching around the house. Women often find out that their choice was a bad one when it's too late. - It is not your job or spiritual duty to rehabilitate badly behaved or abusive men, to the cost of your own health or even safety. They are not your child. Do not take the responsibility of his bad childhood or parenting on your shoulders, or think you have to put up with awful behaviour or your needs not being met because you feel sad for him and his childhood or mental problems. If you want to rehabilitate something, try upcycling or painting some old furniture, or renovate a house. If you want to nurture, have kids. If you want to heal and develop, become a therapist of lifecoach (and then at least you'll be paid for it). Don't be one of those women who reach 50 and realise that all their efforts were all for nothing and he never actually did improve. - If he doesn't take care of you nicely when you're ill, bin him. Some men view women as household appliances and do not like it at all when they malfunction. Many women find that out the hard way - when they have children, when they have to have na operation and need someone to step up so they can take it easy and heal after that. Some men will ignore their poor wives and leave them to handle everything by themselves, even if they've been told to rest by the doctors. Or those men might reluctantly 'help' you whilst sulking or giving you the silent treatment as your punishment for having to provide this service. Some men are mean with their money, but others are mean with their time and support. These are the types that expect you to dote on them when they're ill but they won't return the favour. - Look up the meaning of 'strategic incompetence' and 'mental load'. Hopefully knowing about those two will help you avoid them.

I am an extremely independent lady in a blue collar job, and I have been told from outside sources that I am a sigma. I’m working with myself currently to practice being a more feminine woman. I am always learning what it means to be a woman, and it is good to hear advice in this format, being so straightforward. please don’t tiptoe around the potential feelings of your audience too much. they’ll either like what you say and stay, or hate it and leave. those of us interested will benefit greatly from your bluntness.

I'm a liberal and open minded 38 years old guy from Brazil and I'm very thankful for having the opportunity to watch you and your husband talking to a camera in such a vulnerable and honest way right, in front of my face! Your opinions and advices about such controversial subjects are so agreeable and useful, that almost scares me!! I'm so happy that I've found you this channel!!

You sound so sweet, and humble. I started on your husbands channel-mostly for my husband to listen to. I’m glad you started your own, I’d like to be the kind of wife a husband values and I’m excited to hear more from you. Mamas United!! ❤

Outstanding advice. My wife and I have been married 60 years. Even though she has an anxiety disorder and was taught by her mother to despise her husband (because of her bad marriage) I could never walk out on my wife or divorce her because I would be turning my back on my God; and I can never do that. We both have a strong faith in God, and that is the foundation of our marriage. When you want to please God and be obedient to His commands, you treat your spouse and others with love and respect. This along with tolerance and understanding will solve a multitude of problems.

My parents were never the philosophical sort. They are working-class folks, and that’s all they know and care about. I had to raise myself with strangers or by KZfaq videos. It’s sad, and lonely, but it’s the only life I’ve ever known. Listening to people like you, and the wisdom you offer, it’s a godsend. It keeps me hoping that there’s a better life for a peasant like me. So thank you. I really do appreciate it.

I think your channel is a very important addition to your husband's channel . The young women of today I think should learn from your experience . I think it can literally save their lives . Thank you so much and keep doing what you're doing, I think it is very important. But yet another addition to all the hard work you do

I’m a 52 yr old male,recent divorcee from the uk and I learnt a lot from your reflections here. I loved to hear your traditional values on marriage, thank you

I have been with my wife since 1982. I believe that our success was in large part that we never used sex as a weapon and only rarely would one of us turn down the other’s advances. Satisfaction on both sides was important too. We also never fought over money even when money was short. We have always been great friends and have never denigrated the other. We have been two people sharing our lives together and so we have our own things but do them in the same place and never feel ignored if the other is busy with their activities. I think you have hit the nail on the head with your advice and I hope it helps others.

The conversation with the kids is best conversation you can have

I am a male, we are married for 40 years. You spoke wisdom, I was wondering why you were so cautious. You are spot on, I can not add anything more to your list. Lovely to listen to you both. May GOD Bless your work. Thank you.

I can't believe this was in my recommended. I didn't want this video to end because it resonated with me and validated so much of what I feel and undoubtedly what we all feel to some degree. It is frustrating, but at the same time, fascinating just how different men and women are in just about every aspect. I had never heard of the "nothing box" so I am super interested to look more into it! Conversations like these are so crucial for understanding ourselves and our partners better and ultimately having fulfilling relationships with those we love despite how challenging they can be at times. Thank you for this!

I loved and appreciated this! I am 54 year old woman, no children and never married. Even so, there is lots of wisdom and honesty here for me. So refreshing. The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine takes many forms and you two display a beautiful expression of each. This made me proud to be a woman and a human being. Thank you for your courage for being so frank. ❤️

Thank you and Dwayne for speaking about what many of us have experienced or things we need to hear. I’ll be 72 in a few weeks, will have been married to my wife for 52 years come next week. Both of your perspectives are spot on many times. Dwayne’s unashamed defense of manhood, what it means to be a man is what drew me to him…and just now discovering your channel with this video makes me appreciate what you 2 are doing even more. I agree in part with a couple things you said but because we are not all cut from the same cloth I thot I’d share something from a different perspective. I do have a nothing box, where I appear to need to just empty myself and recharge but the truth is most of the time I’m just wanting to sort things out without any input or influence from anyone else, wife included. So, there are wheels turning but I’ve shifted to neutral so that nothing appears to be moving. Secondly, as far as intimacy goes I am the kind of man who appreciates a woman who slips her hand into mine, gives me a hug and/or for no reason except as an expression of her love towards me. That is one awesome thing that attracted me to my wife 52+ years ago. Those things disappeared early in our marriage and that intimacy was replaced with a weekly “ritual”…you know, kids in bed, Saturday night, perhaps a glass of wine and wham, bam, thank you ma’am. Once we became empty nesters the “ritual” has continued. I have had conversations many times with my wife about how I appreciate simple efforts of affection that may or may not lead to sex…I try to hint at that by giving her a romantic kiss or cuddle beside her on the couch. The response I get is she makes me feel immature or less manly. She may bring up other people and say “do you think Bob and Linda behave like this?” Most times she’ll just take my hand and say “I know what you want” and we head to the bedroom. That’s not what I always want but I seldom want to start an argument or a discussion…again…about how much I appreciate spontaneous intimacy. If she would become more intimate and it results in sex then fine but I would feel more loved from those simple acts than from “ritual” weekly sex. She has always been receptive when she knows I’m “in the mood” so it’s not like there is a lack of sex in our relationship, but there is a lack of intimacy. The “ritual” of sex lacks any expression of love, it’s just a device to bring us physical pleasure. It makes me feel like I’m missing out on something. Do you think I am being difficult or am I the exception and not the rule of how normal men feel?

This was much needed. My husband and I have chosen to do traditional marriage roles (he works, I stay home with the babies, cook from scratch, and am starting homeschool) and it can seem so hard in this day to find anyone who can give guidance on this type of marriage. Being in the throes of baby/toddler years it’s hard to think it will get easier and not feel that “envy” you talk about. I would love to hear more on these topics and how you dealt with raising the children, roles in parenting, and finding grace as a traditional mother and to not feel like you’re continually failing 😅 please more videos! 🙏🏻

"What are you thinking about?" I started using alternative (if he looks troubled in my eyes, probably just inside nothing-box😅) "You remember I'm here if you want to talk about something, right?" and then just leave it. That gives him space. Thank you ma'am, your content is much needed and appreciated❤️

This was very lovely. I have a wonderful beautiful Mama of my own that I love very much, but we don’t get to have conversations like this normally, so this is a blessing. I’m a young single Christian woman and having folks like yourself speak wisdom into my life is such a gift. Keep doing your thing Mama! Look forward to seeing new videos!

I love your perspective!♡ I didn't get married until I was in my 60s. A "sigma male" fell madly in love with me. He even rescued me from a fruitless relationship. He is an amazing partner and yet it's been challenging for me. I would say judgement and comparisons are our worst enemies. I'm glad I trusted him. I love him to bits.

I gotta comment again, Please don’t be cautious with what you say I feel as women we need to be able to have open conversations about marriage in its entirety! I’m looking forward to more videos from you, as I have never had a legit woman role model. However, I somehow still managed to hold the same traditional views and was married just over a year ago. Thank you so much!!

I’m a young bride and I’ve watched this video and your husbands. Spot on wisdom. I would love your take on what respecting your husband means in terms of action.

I am a single woman with no children and I really got a lot out of this video and enjoyed your company. I never heard of the "sigma" personality type before, so thanks for mentioning that. I can relate totally. Thank you! PS My "mommas" name is Deanna too.

It made me tear up when you said ‘he wants to see all of you, give him that, and you will feel beautiful. Try it.’. I need to get out of my own head full of insecurity and try it

I love this momma. I grew up with a single grandmother and my husband a single mother. We’re still learning after getting married at 19&21. Now 23&26. With 3 boys. We love this life. We’ve watched all our friends married in the timing of our relationship divorce. We are searching out community with neither sides of our family very active. And we’re trying everyday to be the couple others can turn to for help. We want to see marriages thrive. And families restored. Love your slow sit down video. And your wisdom. And I took a lot from it. Thank you!!! Look forward to your next video!🫶🏼

I've been following your husbands channel since back when there were only a couple hundred followers and have really loved every video. I'm looking forward to this side of the stories, too. The two of you remind me of my wife and I but a bit further down the trail of life then we are yet. It's wonderful to find a couple who have wisdom to share. Thank you 🤠

Spot on ! Married 35 years. Sometimes ya gotta fake it ladies.keep going every day.no one has a perfect life. For better for worse. Kids grow up and leave.do not put your kids before your husband.

You, my dear, are spot on!! I was with my wife for nearly 30 years, until she passed on, and much of what you offer as insights, we learned over the course of our marriage. Respect and love should be given and received in equal doses, but...tempered and molded to each person's "needs". A good beginning!!

Thank you!! I can’t wait to pursue a similar traditional marriage and family with my current boyfriend! This advice was amazing, I’d love to see future videos about motherhood and parenting too ❤️

This is a great video Deanna. My husband and I have been married for 25 years, and I agree with everything you've shared. Sometimes, as women, it's very difficult to get out of our own minds how we view ourselves. We dealt with that for years. I would not have a high opinion of myself, so it was hard for me to receive my husband in the way he intended. It took a lot of prayer, and my husband's commitment to the Lord, and our marriage, to come full circle.

After 42 + years of marriage I agree with all you said. Every point made is true. When we stop fighting against our husband's inborn traits, our marriage and physical intimacy is great. Yes, after 42 years of marriage, our physical intimacy is strong as ever. And, we have been through many life difficulties together. Forgive your dear man when he isn't perfect to you. No man is perfect.

Thank you so much for your last point and your obvious current understanding! My story is tragic, but married 17 years. Currently ending in her affair and divorce. However! Your comment about him having the blinders on all day actually brought tears to my eyes! For 24 years I have had eyes only for this girl I love and married! I chose HER! Not only did I always consider it my duty to not notice other women, it truly became a natural way of being. But alas, coming home to her and giving her all that attention and energy that I was saving for her alone was met with rejection, refusal, denial… I’m not just talking about sex, I’m referring to any sort of affection or attention along those lines. I saved it all for her, and she refused it. If any other marriages can be helped by your video, or even possibly my own comment, this is why I’m here and applauding you! Ladies, that part of him is for you alone and he’s saving it for you! You ought to be jealous of it if he ever strays from you in that regard, but please don’t reject and refuse it from him when he offers that energy and attention to you!

"He wants to come home and see you." ❤ amen, momma.

Beautiful! I love this presentation, having been married for 52 years (she passed away two years ago) oh how I miss that wonderful, loving, caring woman who raised and homeschooled our 5 children. All your points are right on target. God has and continues to bless you.

Nice video. I am 83 and my wife is 82. We have been married for 63 years. There is nothing better than staying together for life. Not that it always happens, but that is what God intended and the benefits of it can not be explained.

The respect thing really is huge. It goes hand-in-hand with being treated fairly. I can show the utmost devotion to the woman I love, but it wears me down and breeds resentment if I don't get the respect I feel I deserve. I was never able to adequately put this into words in my past relationships, but I really just didn't feel respected or like my opinion or feelings mattered. And for someone who rarely speaks unless it's to say something of import, not being listened to and actually heard was a huge slap in the face to me. With my new relationship, ensuring I felt respected as an equal partner was a prerequisite. The nothing box, physical aspects of a relationship...also very true. You totally nailed it. Even the envy thing. I would get judged for not doing some chores around the house, but everything else I did around the house or for our relationship was taken for granted and ignored until I was gone and they realized just how much I did. Even when you do try and help out with the chores your partner usually does, it doesn't help when they criticize how you accomplish those tasks, which happens often in relationships. And you're right, a man picks a woman that he wants because he wants her. I wrestled with the jealousy of women I was with, even when I only wanted them. I was content just to be with them and around them, but their insecurities disturbed the balance of things. Yes, men have that physical appetite. And (pardon the metaphor) a man can work up that appetite anywhere, but a good man will always prefer to eat at home with a woman who loves and respects him. Thanks so much for your input. There is a lot of truth to what you said here and I think your words carry a lot of value for anyone who is trying to make things work by finding out HOW they work.

There is something very special that comes through you and your husband's words. I'm very glad you started your own channel. Thank you for sharing your grace with us!

Been married for 12 and a half years. My wife and I went through Love and Respect for our pre marriage counseling. I'm glad we did.

married almost 34 years; kids and grandkids. you are SPOT ON...every comment you made! Thanks Deanna!

You're doing great! I studied philosophy before college and during college, but now - 10 years later - the things I've learned are finally making sense. You and your husband are both a blessing, and far more helpful than I think you realize. Just showing up and talking about anything is enough. It feels like talking to a friend; and some of us don't have very many friends. If you keep making videos, you'll begin to understand your audience better and be more comfortable. You're already doing a great job.

Thank you! This is so realistic and relatable. Married for 12 years and feeling a little lost. This brings it back down to earth and makes our troubles seem not so big.

How do we say… You and Your Husband are the kind of hard-working-devoted Americans that made and continue to make our country great. Keep making videos please.

Finally hearing another woman say things I completely and whole heartedly believe in. Thank you so much for making this video. Truly, truly grateful 🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

I came here from Dewayne. I’ll stay for mama. Much love from your neighbour to the north. Enjoy your winter.

I have been married for 50 years. I have found respect, trust , friendship, truth and love are the most important. Be accepting of each other shortcomings. It is very hard but to not give up. I loved your video.

Thanks Deanna, great wisdom. I would just add, after experiencing many unhealthy relationships myself, that young women-any women-need to realize how important it is to spend time NOT being sexually involved with a man to see what his character is like, how he treats his parents, children, animals and you. Is he angry or abusive? An addict? Avoids taking responsibility for his actions? A cheater/womanizer? Narrowing that down, if they actually find someone that isn't one or more of those things, then they can have something to work with, and employ the wisdom you've shared. Blessings!

I'm a 41 y/old man, and yes, the respect is very important. From my view a woman that doesn't respect me, can't love me. It goes both ways i think, but men probably show that need more than women. The term "nothing box" is new to me but it makes sense. My problem sometimes with my wife is that my "box", sometimes it's a very large box that spends several hours per week. It was a bigger problem before but i've overcome it, especially when we got our kid and my "nothing box" time reduced a lot. It had too. As long as i don't get lost as a person in the way, family always come first. She understands now that i need "my own world" time. I'm there, i listen, i take care of my share... and fortunately she also has a little "nothing box", and that helped her understanding mine. Best regards, from Portugal.

I'm a Former Soviet Union native living in Central Asia and love both of yours wisdom and sound advice. There is so much beauty in simplicity.

Im a clinical social worker who has provided a lot of marriage counseling. This video is excellent. Def worth sharing widely. Of all the things you mentioned, the most important factor in the development of a solid relationship is respect. Relationships where one partner demeans the other is a recipe for sadness.

I went through a divorce recently at 24 years old and you and your husbands videos are giving me a lot of perspective. Thank you.

Hey momma, just hearing you talk made me feel comfortable. I'm glad you made a channel, I look forward to learning from a lady with a lot more wisdom and life experience than myself.

Oh my gosh I'm so excited you made your own channel!! This was all excellent advice thank you! I'm a 25 year old woman and I most days I get into my nothing box after work, but I feel like that'll change when I become a mom because that job is 24/7 for the rest of your life and there is no off the clock lol

Wow! Im a California city girl that married a Wyoming fella who grew up on a dairy farm. He told me he goes to his empty box and I didnt believe him. Also, I agree with taking care of his needs. If I ever denied him I would deny myself!! Women who play games or use that as a game are just hurting their relationship with their husband.

We just celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary 3 months ago and I need to have my wife introduced and hear the explanation to the "Nothing Box" by Deanna today! I have never been able (perhaps never tried) to explain to my wife my "Nothing Box".

Oh yes as A man in my early 30s The physical drive is very strong for my wife and sometimes I feel like I’m being pushy but she doesn’t understand that it is a physical urge it can actually be painful . We can’t help it it’s the way we are wired Especially with the one we love it is very strong

Wow! 31 years of marriage, that’s incredible. I’ve just gotten engaged and I truly appreciate you and your husbands advice. I’ll take all the help I can get

The Pastor who did the talk about the “nothing box” is Mark Gungor from Wisconsin. My wife and I did a couple’s Bible Study and watched the video. It is great and very funny.

This is giving me all the queens code vibes. Loving you and your husbands content, it is so needed, especially in today's world❤️

Thank you Deanna for these videos. As a man, it's always great to learn a woman's wisdom on dating, marriage, and family life.

"Have grit and give grace" Love it. I sometimes put sayings by the front door for my kids to see as they leave the house. This is going to be the next one! Thank you.

Thank you, Deanna, for allowing all of us to learn and grow with your earned wisdom. Married 24 years, 2 kids, and a daughter-in-law, (23, 21, & 21 now), and a 2 year old grandson. All of us are sigmas. Makes for a very odd household, especially when the kids were teens. I wish I had understood this in my 20's(I'm 41 now), but better late than never, right? I'll be sharing both yours and Duane's channels with my son and his wife, and my daughter. We all need a guide, and you 2 are great at it!

You’re spot on with the sexual thing with men, but I would add that men associate being loved and wanted by their spouses by the level of physical interaction that takes place within marriage.

As a young woman with dreams of marriage and family, I've found all your videos including your husband's so helpful. I'm always worried about not being a good enough wife or mother and I haven't even started yet. Thank you, I'm glad you started this channel. ❤

My husband introduced me to dry creek wrangler and I’ve watched so many videos. I got so excited when I saw you started your own. So crazy to see Dry Creek grow so rapidly! Keep doing yalls thing 👏🏻👏🏻 me and my husband love yalls content. We aren’t cowboys and never will be but we love the old fashioned country life and the wisdom it brings!

Our best man gave us a unique gift at our wedding, a sterling silver plated yo-yo! "For the ups and downs in your marriage." Little did we know how true it would be. The string never came off the yo-yo. On our 25th my bride had it put in a display case - yea we still have it and the yo-yo too!

6:24 I appreciate you talking about this so much! I feel seen with that and not alone! Also please say your peace because you will find your audience because you do say what you mean. Thank you as a young women without a mother to talk to. ❤ I’m really excited about this channel.

Hi Deanna, its Samantha from Alaska Horseman. I am so happy you created a channel! I look forward to watching your content. My husband and I have loved these marriage talks you and Dewayne are doing. Much appreciated and much needed advice! I am wishing now that I wasn't in my prodigal days when I knew you two because I missed out on a lot of wisdom and mentorship that was right next door, literally! But the Lord works in His timing and it took Him a while to get to me! I am now married to a wonderful man and we have 4 kids and bought a little place in Delta Junction. God bless you and your family, you've been such a blessing!🙌 thank you!

Wow! I stumbled upon your husband's channel first today, watched the "5 things" video there with my wife, and then this one came up as a suggestion. Don't ever apologise about being boring - I would describe the style of you and your husband as serene and fulfilling. I could literally feel my blood pressure and pulse lowering. We've been married coming up 25 years, through the forge a few times over the years, and happier together now than ever. Keep up the brilliant work, both of you, and Merry Christmas from Australia!

Very beautiful spoken! I wish I had seen it 20 years ago! Maybe I wouldn’t have left the father of my child. (Who now watches your husband videos and is changing so beautiful in his way of living!) Thank you for sharing! 🙏 Wishing you and your husband much more loving years together!

I’ve been married 32 years I agree 100% with what you’re sharing.

I am a guy and def don't have a nothing box, I am a professional overthinker haha. Thanks for sharing your thoughts loving hearing you and your husband's wisdom.

Thanks for facing your fear of being in front of the camera to share your thoughts, feelings, insights, and experiences. Hearing your perspective is powerful!

Being married for 40 years I give young couple advise. Sometimes you’ll agree to disagree sometimes and it’s ok respect each other even if you don’t agree provided it’s not moral issue. Pick your battles don’t fuss about every little thing. Your supposed to support each other be an advantage to each other like Batman and robin a team. Think of the other before yourself. Don’t let anyone outside adversely affect your relationship bad advise etc. rely on each other like your on a desolate island because this world can be. Those are my tips. Loved your video.

Always remember what brought you together. Communication is key. Being equally yoked is important. Respect, Love and Joy and appreciating none another

"Momma", The book is "Her Love and His Respect" such a beautiful book for couples. I too love the encyclopedia of wisdom that your husband shares with us. I love hearing from both you and him. Thank you for sharing as well.

My husband and I love to watch Dewayne’s channel and I’m so excited for your channel! I absolutely loved this video. My husband and I have a more traditional marriage like you all, he works outside the home and I stay home with three toddlers full time. I definitely needed this video, we are young couple married 5 years but together 9, we have grown up together and grown together over these years, and it’s nice to hear the same views and values.

Been watching your husband's channel, Dry Creek Wrangler School, for a little over a year off and on (First video I seen of his was him talking about his cowboy boots and how since he's gotten older, he's had to switch the type of boot he wears and he was smoking a cigar, kinda reminded me of my father from the way he talks to his clothing.) and I like what he teaches and what he talks about so I subscribed to him months ago. The other day I was watching a video and he mentioned that you have a channel now so I decided to hop over here and watch this video (which is helpfully seeing it in a woman's perspective) and then to let you know that you have my subscription as well! :) Thank you for being you :D

Your husband rules! Stay blessed and thank y’all for doing These type of videos. Really really great content and much needed these days. :)

A lot of women don't realise these simple things. I always thought this stuff should be taught in schools along with how to tell the difference between bravado and competence. The reason being that solid long term monogamous families are the bedrock of a healthy and strong society. Anyway, I can't add anything that you haven't already poignantly highlighted but suffice to say, spot on.

Married for 15 years, spot on with the physical! Great words of wisdom! Just beautiful! ❤

Years ago my wife and I realized that having our separate hobbies, our own time, helped strengthen our together time. It is what works for us as we quickly approach 34 years together.

You did an awesome job DeAnn. Dwayne ain't the only one that thinks you are a beautiful young lady.

I am so excited about this channel! I am so happy you started one. Thank you.

Great video, I would love to hear about how you homeschooled and some advice. Primarily advice on the teens (middle school) as I am taking that on with my younger sister right now. Public school did a number on her and pulling her back in at home is doable and it will be successful, I know I trust it, but it is definitely not easy.

This is so awesome Deanna! I love hearing your perspective along with your husband. You two are so relatable and give great advice. Love that you have your own channel now!

Love your advice and love that you have started your own channel! Marriage is hard and your advice is fantastic, makes us all feel that we are not the only one struggling with the rollercoaster of marriage, thanks so much Momma!

With maturity comes wisdom. I am about to turn 60 in a few months. Wish I would have know the things I have learned over the years and the things you talk about in this video 40 years ago. As mature wiser women we are obligated to teach young women about this stuff. Will they listen and learn? Who knows. Hopefully they take what has been taught to them and maybe have light bulb moments that go off as they live their lives and make corrections as they go along.

Good morning. I'm a new subscriber here from Virginia. I feel blessed to have found this channel. I can't describe it exactly but to watch and listen to you and your husband on real life topics just calms me down almost instantly; and I feel so much better in getting on with my day/life. You are relaying ideas and explanations about things many of us are struggling with. Just want to say thank you and please keep up the great work.

So excited for your channel. There are very few out there who talk from heart and experience like this. Thank you🙏🏼

So much to think about here. Thanks for taking the time to share. I like how you shed light on when we feel uncomfortable about why our partner isn't responding the way we think they should. Glad you have a good marriage!

I'm so glad you started this channel! I love your husband's videos, and I love the videos you've done together, but I didn't realize how much I needed a Dry Creek Momma exclusive channel! Keep up the good work! :)

I am so so so happy you made your own channel! I am a momma of a three year old and an 11 month old, and newly married this summer, but been together with my husband for 5 years. I am so so so looking forward to your videos about raising kids and being married, because I have no one in my life who could teach me those lessons or be a role model. So extremly grateful for you, it's like you're an answered prayer.

The comment about respect vs love is sooo helpful to me. This is the first place I’ve heard it mentioned and it immediately explains so many conflicts I’ve had and witnessed in my life. Thanks for sharing
