Shawn is visibly holding her self sooo differently. In such a good way. She looks relaxed. Less ridged. Happy. Girl you are an incredible human. Inspirational. And amazing.

[@arianeprice3176]

i think you mean less rigid? ridged would be something that has ridges on it. - like those potato chips- “ruffles have ridges”

[@kamryndowns6076]

Last time I cried: on my way to work listening to Andrew tell Shawn how amazed he is with her body especially postpartum & that he hopes she can get to a place where she sees herself through his lenses. So beautiful.

[@user-ey1xi4hm7z]

This!!

[@victoriaschout8471]

Right there with you!

[@caro5620]

every word that comes out of Andrew’s mouth is so incredibly healing as someone who lacked emotionally mature, self aware men in my life growing up. from the words of affirmation about your body to aging together to his definition of a man. he IS the standard for men who should enter marriage/what i will look for

[@RoAdamClausen]

The last time I cried….um, now…listening to Andrew reassure Shawn how beautiful she is while she is feeling insecure in her body (around 7:00 minutes into the show). How beautiful. You are both wise beyond your years. ❤

[@dianaholt9566]

I have never seen any two people be so vulnerable . You two answered some hard questions. Marriage is hard and you have to work on it everyday . You have to want to be the best for each other !!! I like that btw ! That is great advice !

[@debrajosephs]

Thank you for being so open and honest. You are making it available for people to learn to be intimate with their partner. I was married for ten years and came no where close to conversations like you two. No surprise it ended. Seriously. Thank you.

[@annjoyce8560]

I am almost 50. Your intimacy truly grows just like your marriage. In 10 years it will be a different level of comfort.

[@scrumps101]

I can honestly and wholeheartedly attest to this. My hub and I just reached 50 and it’s been a slow crawl through raising kids and figuring things out but the last several years have smooth and deep and beautiful. Our level of patience and understanding and respect for and with each other has matured and broadened to a place of serenity and pure joy for the other. To be in this place makes all the rough times we endured so worth the efforts.

[@moriahharris6957]

I LOVE how vulnerable you guys were when talking (dare I say “trauma bonding”? 😜) about the fact that you’re going to couples counseling, not out of desperation, but to keep from getting there! ❤️ It also broke my heart that Andrew felt like he had to be perfect as a husband, because that’s just not possible. The well-intended “happy wife, happy life” idea can be so toxic, so the “happy spouse, happy house” attitude is one that I hope to take into any future marriage. Thank you for being amazing examples for the rest of the world to see! ❤️🙏🏻

[@kellyhause8313]

I have never liked the term "happy wife, happy life", I prefer "happy spouse, happy house" The thing is, we make a choice every day to be happy or not. It's very refreshing to see this proactive approach to marriage in a world of "fast food" marriages and divorces. I feel like more people need to put in the work that it takes to have a successful marriage, like you both have. Mad respect for you both ❤

[@LaurenEllis1]

Love this so much. Andrew, I think you should write a book for men. Y’all are awesome!!!

[@cassyschraft6268]

Appreciate that you can have a conversation about intimacy and sex without being vulgar and obscene about it unlike the crassness with which I feel like it gets talked about on other influencer podcasts

[@darcyross2555]

This is so relatable!!!!! I am loving this new vulnerable, authentic vibe you are going with. It feels good and genuine in my soul.

[@CateRust-pb2uv]

Omg- every step of your relationship is admirable. I’ve watched it from the start and love your communication and vulnerability with each other.

[@angieliley1369]

OMG, I have never commented on a podcast or anything like this in the past but when you said he sneaks chocolate in the middle of the night and leaves the wrapper on the counter I started laughing out loud because my husband does the exact same thing and when I wake up in the morning, I always know that he was in there having a little snack. I feel the same way it’s endearing, but then I also want to smack him and say can you not throw away the wrapper. 😂❤

[@sammizimmerman4143]

You two are absolutley one of my all time favorite celebrity couples. Your relationship and love for one another is SO beautiful ❤️ thank you for being such a good example for the world of what marriage should look like! Keep it goin' yall

Love that you are honest and vulnerable in every podcast ☺️People who relate to your situations as myself feel safer to talk about things with their spouses/other members too.

[@elainebarber1124]

Keep laughing .. best therapy ever ! You are a great team Enjoy listening to each of your perspectives

[@kellilickliter4552]

Please do more videos like this! Sometimes it feels as though celebrities (and I do consider ya'll that!) don't go through hard times and that their marriages are always just "perfect"...so I sincerely appreciate you both sharing these vulnerable sides of your life.

Shawn, I'm still laughing about about when Andrew said his technique for having a different gender, and he said from behind. You were so funny! I could tell that you were still thinking about what he said through the whole rest of the video. Don't be embarrassed. It was so cute. Boys like to brag. Like they say Shawn, 'boys will be boys.' You two are perfect for each other. Enjoy your kids and life.

[@CARow2487]

Sex is a total gift of yourself, so it makes sense that it is within the context of marriage where you've made vows to another, and where that love and total gift of self manifests itself by creating another life. We literally get to cooperate with God in creating life.

[@hannahwomack8721]

Y’all, I laughed out loud too many times to count during this video 😂😂

[@shariroark7588]

For me, as far as sex before marriage, I believe God meant it for after marriage. I would go back and change that if I could, but I know He has forgiven me!

[@donnahutchinson7813]

Shawn, Andrew; I am so glad that you're answering intimate questions about your life experiences. While you where reading a few of the questions; The way it read sounded like someone that was new to the experience and was a little unsure of what to expect. Your answers might have eased some of their anxious thoughts. Even though some questions were asking ya'll to be a bit too personal. Thank you for over coming your anxieties and answering honestly. Keep the faith. ❤ you guys.

[@awgustbaird]

This was awesome, laugh out loud funny, and vulnerable in a beautiful way 💗 Enjoyed thoroughly.

[@87Mtrujillo]

I’m literally in tears listening to Shawn explain how she felt about her body postpartum. I feel this exact way and have been most of my life. Embarrassed of my body, wondering if I’m attractive enough for my husband, and if I’ll ever feel good enough. Listening to how Andrew responded is the exact thing I want to hear from my husband. Like hearing the words come from the heart like Andrew did for Shawn. I love you guys as a couple. It’s very encouraging.

[@geno5169]

My wife always felt uncomfortable with her body! When she was in school! But one of ant things I caught my eyes when I saw my wife walk in dollar store 36 years ago! Her beautiful curves! How beautiful she looked! I asked her then ! Then 1 year later we got married! I tell my wife everyday how attractive I’am to her! How beautiful she looks waking up! Coming out of the shower!

[@SolsticeBeautyByJessica]

I’m with Shawn on the sex and intimacy and how marriage is the most intimacy you can only experience with a spouse.

[@anovemberstar]

I think that would very much depend on the couple - not everyone holds marriage up as being the be all and end all. Proof of that - divorce stat's being eo high, as well as some couples choosing not to get married

[@Julie-kb3mo]

@@anovemberstar Not putting God first, let alone all together exclusion .... It's no wonder divorce is so prominent. Even when allowing God to lead individually and in the marriage, it's tough to make it work. Without God, my 30 year anniversary coming in June would NOT be happening. 🙏🏽

[@Julie-kb3mo]

Humility. 🙂 It's a learned thing. My husband had a terrible bicycling accident a decade ago. While I gave him privacy while he was pooping, he required my assistance in wiping in so forth. I wouldn't say we're exactly 'comfortable' pooping in front of each other, yet you learn to accept when you got to go and need help. 🙂

Shawn & Andrew I so, so appreciate your vulnerability to your followers. You are both wonderful, faithful, committed spouses. I admire your commitment to alwayyyys figure out the challenges in your life to remain in a good place in your relationship. That said, I truly hope you figure out that your family is complete. It's not the same for everybody, nor do you need to duplicate your own childhood. IE; Andrew coming from a family of 5 children. Your words "express" your 'cups is full.

What you both said about yourselves and realizing maybe you are doing something your partner doesn't like and accepting you're not perfect resonances with me. I can be so defensive also.

Andrew, I think it's called "slappin' meats" 😂 And Shawn, I'm a mother of two (now adults) and I STILL don't know what I'm doing! It's such a Mom thing. Don't be too hard on yourself. If your kids are happy and healthy and you're trying every day to do better than the day before, then that's a sign you're doing it right. 💗Anywayyyy....My hubs and I have been married 33.5 years. It's HARD. It's FUN. It's CHALLENGING. It's SILLY. It's SCARY. It's EVERYTHING wrapped up in one big ball of OH MY GOODNESS LOOK AT US GO! The bond you have now can and will grow deeper and more intimate as the years go by, but it is hard work. No doubt about it. And don't stop laughing together. A sense of humor can get you out of so many unnecessary squabbles! Blessings!!❤

Isn't that the truth. That's a big issue with marriages in the economy today. They don't have that big stress. I think they should hire a part time housekeeper. Do things like grocery shopping, cook dinner, laundry a few times a week to give them more free time.

I watched to the end, so please read to the end ❤. Unsolisted advice: Mrs. East you should collect the candy rappers and make a scrapbook out it. It would peeve me too though 😊. Mrs. East the reason Mr. East wants to be asked about food is because he wants to be part of the buying or making food and connected with you. In better language, he feels left out so saying "no" is still including him. It is very sweet that he feels disconnected and left out when he does not want to eat or when you buy/make what he does feel like. It is a relatively simple thing to do, but you are in the habit of not asking or including him, so try to reframe it completely by retraining your brain that He feels excluded every time you do not ask. That way you will be more aware and more likely to ask. I always learn something (occasionally something not useful 😅). Mostly for just enjoy your company and hanging out with a healthy couple. It puts things back into perspective and helps motivate me to be better when I do not feel like putting in the work. Thank you for being genuine and vulnerable (I think you were a bit too vulnerable in places, but overall amazing). Sending lots of love to your new family of 5. ❤

My husband just retired last January. Forty years of living our own routines...it's been a bit challenging for both of us. I'm helping him get his new routine up & going, so his retirement is satisfying for him. Plus we are starting " life planning " away from us, for our adult Special needs Son. One of those things we put off... Agreeing on what best for him is tough...it's been all on me for 33 years, now... I don't want to have to make all those decisions. But,...I catch myself continually trying to take back control. LOL Sometimes my sweet angel of a husband just smiles and says, let me know IF I can help. He is my best friend. 40 years...I'm old, fat, use a walker or wheelchair and he still works at me and holds my hand...he still looks at me the way he did on our wedding day. I am so blessed. You two are doing everything right! You see an issue, you look at it, you talk about it, you work it out. Love is easy, when you love your partner enough to allow them to grow with you. We are growing until the day we die. We never stop learning. It's funny..my husband doesn't care what I wear, about my hair, prefers me to wear no makeup, & says that clothes and make up do not change who you are inside.. he says he loves my spirit. I fix up a tad when we leave the house...I did learn a handful of years ago that...animal prints..😉are not his passion. It's the only time he EVER asked me to change. Haha😂 Ok..I've shared..you didn't ask for it . But I couldn't resist. 😃 I love that you guys share your lives, your struggles, your victories & best of all..Our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
