We kicked back on the couch with a glass of wine and chatted all things love and relationships and only cried ONCE, can you even believe it?! Jokes aside, this might be our fav episode we filmed yet, we really enjoyed having a deep conversation on this topic...Can't wait to hear what you all think. Happy Valentine's Day, lovebirds 😘

[@ToddDouglasFox]

It’s the only day per year carved out just for love. Everything is commercial Tyler. The reason you did this live today is because it is “the day” celebrated around the world. Don’t worry about profiteers. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LorraineWatson27]

I am now single longer than my 3 marriages. I don't mind, mostly because I don't know what I am missing. I think that is why I like you two so much. Your relationship and you're sharing it with us, gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, someone will adore and love me like you two each other. Great episode. Happy Valentine Day. One thing, where are the tans our Caribbean Boyz?

[@donaldskinner-reid8998]

My favourite as well. Thank you.

[@robynburton1444]

An awesome tangent session with red wine…..you both have a fantastic and realistic outlook on life and relationships, friendship is the most valuable foundation to have. Keep being your beautiful amazing selves. Thank you xo❤

[@leannaestep3066]

Color me jaded, but I don't trust grand gestures, and especially those done on a day when there are "in your face reminders" everywhere. Love me on Tuesday, dammit! 😉🙃

[@tadziosquest]

Widowed 5 years after 44 years together. There is a life after. Thank you!

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Sorry you lost them but I'm so happy that you've been able to find life after loss. Lots of love to you!

[@nickislade5533]

I was married 21 years, alone for 10 and then i was granted another opportunity with a wonderful man who respects me and respects the relationship my children had with their father.

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

I love how your chats about your relationship reveal as much about you as individuals as it does about your loving relationship. This was one of my favourites.

[@jangrady1061]

My husband and I will be married 60 years this October and we have celebrated Valentines Day ONCE!!! It was the first Valentines Day we ever had together. We have always said “if you don’t love me every day, don’t show me on one day.” Love you young men and you are of the age I could be your grandmother!!!❤❤

[@sharithompson1672]

Best flowers I’ve ever gotten was from a guy back in college. He showed to pick me up with a boquet of roses from his mom’s garden. He’d driven an hour each way to pick those flowers and I’ve never forgotten it. Better than all the expensive fancy flowers I’ve received in my entire life. Thanks Chris!😊

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

That's so sweet 🥹

[@brianunkefer3687]

My husband and I made the decision on our first Valentines Day 40 years ago not to celebrate it. We started and ended each day saying I love you. He passed on Dec 13th and I still say it to him. Saying it everyday not just on Feb 14th is real love. Thank you for being a positive real gay couple.

[@amyspeers8012]

Married 31 years, together since 1989. Totally agree with love growing. My parents were married for 60 years. My mom is very active-and super cute-at 86. She said she has no interest in another relationship. She said, “I loved taking care of your father when he needed it….but that was after 60 years together. I don’t want to wash another old wrinkled ass.” Enjoy your wine. ❤

[@wwonka52]

LOL. My dad died at 66 and I told Mom I'd understand if she found a new companion sometime. She told me only underwear she was washing from then on was her own. .

[@mandmgirl7227]

The five items of love language are words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch.

[@christophercavanaugh6437]

I have told you guys before but I am almost 42 and have come out as gay.. it’s hard at this age to be so honest about my sexuality now, but I’m at the point that I don’t want to be alone anymore and want to find love 💕 (it’s so hard ) in my town, but wish me luck. Love you stay safe Christopher Washington state ❤

[@gailthorpe2288]

Christopher you Will fine love in the strangest way I meet my girlfriend at the local bingo hall that was 15years ago and I still fancy her and love her more and more every day

[@elissalaurin1955]

married for 37 years and I can say, our love is forever changing and we don't celebrate Valentine's Day. We celebrate each other when we feel like it, randomly❤️

[@ananeto81]

I have been with hubby since 2007 and I am more and more in love with him each day. We don't celebrate Valentine's. Every day is a celebration of our love, even the harder ones ❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Love that outlook so much ❤️

[@leslieskoor2351]

I SO enjoy listening to the two of you...the love & the laughter. I believe that having a solid sense of humor is key. I married my first love, and we celebrate 50 yrs in just a few months. ❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Aw congratulations 🥰

[@joannechapman8455]

My husband and I met in college…and became “couple” our second year. We were together for eight years before we were married. Although we were committed we did have some ups and downs in the early years. At one point I moved to another state to “find myself” and ended up missing him and our life so much. I was in a resort place and found a wonderful Valentines special at one of the local hotels…and sent it to my now partner with fingers crossed. He accepted, we had a very memorable weekend and ended up married a year later. I agree, every day love is what is important…but sometime an “occasion” special act of love and connection is way more important.

[@briantoups]

I love your relationship and hearing how you’ve grown together. I’ve been watching your content for a few years and your relationship is one of the things that encouraged me to come out of the closet because I realized I wanted someone to share life together with. I met my now husband quickly after making that decision and we’re growing together also and I cherish it so much. Please keep up the content. You do make a difference.

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Wow that means make us so happy to hear, wishing you both the best!! ❤️

[@gigidodson]

The saddest day of the year for me. My husband passed away on Valentines day (also his moms birthday) after 30 years of marriage. Its been 16 years and it still gets me every year. Miss him.

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

We're so sorry to hear that Gigi ❤️ sending you lots of love

[@lamarblake]

Oh my God Todd. "My hips will go" So damn funny I burst out laughing so loud. 🤣🤣🤣

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

🙊🤣

[@bohoxplorer840]

Cn I just say when you two look at each other during these Tangents speaks volumes. Your love speaks volumes OXOXOOX

[@gblakev]

9:00 - Cuddling is a great way to help each other fall asleep. It's more than love; it's trust and security.

[@christinevickers8438]

My husband and I have been married for 50yrs & believe you are spot on with your discussion. After the sex goes and aging occurs, love is helping each other through the physical & mental changes of becoming physically fragile etc. we find things we can still do like a lovely walk in a park or cooking a favourite meal and assist each other by doing physical tasks that the other can’t do. The most wonderful thing for us is our memories and knowing that we lov😊ed and supported each other all our adult lives and still do. We too have arguments but that’s because we still have our individuality. Our discussions & task now is to face the knowledge that one of us will leave permanently before the other and although that time is looming make the very most of the time we still have together. Love you both and your relationship and wish you continued happiness in this journey we have been gifted . 🥰💕🌈

[@purplepixie274]

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well 💜👌💯

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Agreed!

[@janavanbeelen8489]

“Don’t get sucked into a plane engine” 😂 Put that on a mug!!

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Adding it to the list 😅

When he's putting up the shelf, ask him, "Is there something I can hold for you?"

[@murraymcdonnel6845]

'I'm looking to pound this nail into a stud" - I lost it. Thank you.

[@puckf17]

You may laugh when you see Eddie here! He's your gift to us- I get a warm smile when I look at him. You never have to convince me u2 have a great relationship! 💝💛💚💞

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

He's the best boy 🐶

[@julieholcombe7422]

I told my husband when we were just dating that I never wanted flowers bc they are expensive and quickly die. We both agreed not to buy each other gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc and instead take a trip together or do something we both enjoy. The pressure of trying to buy the perfect gift is way too stressful so if we want something throughout the year, we just buy it then (within reason of course).

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Yes love that, trips are always worth it!

[@daibhi4860]

Lynne and I live the do not go to bed mad theme and it's worked for us for over 40 years. We always close the night out with a "Rest You Gentle" to which the other will reply "Sleep you sound".

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Aw that is really sweet ❤️

[@AlanStange]

We have gone to bed shattered and apart. At some point between that and the morning, we come together. We never could manage the silent treatment. Our saving grace has always been a mutual agreement that the problem between us was always less important than what we felt for each other (45 years).

[@moshe-mordechaivanzuiden]

I asked myself: How come you're such a successful couple and you have no arrogance about it? I found two answers in my head: 1. Arrogance is often meant to hide insecurity and you're not into pretense. 2. You worked too hard for it to be arrogant. I have that too. Things I'm really good at or came effortlessly so for that I can't really take credit, or I worked very hard for and that's humbling. Anyway, I so enjoy you guys. If only I could have one more deep relationship. One can hope. See you later!

[@divekatdreaming]

I think the challenge is transitioning from those special Valentine's day memories to every day being special and not doing Valentine's day just because of pressure....because when you do it because of pressure, it doesn't mean anything. .... and still convincing your partner that you don't love them less even though you don't care about Valentine's day.

[@Danigys]

You are right, I am older person, you can loose money, possessions, people, but wonderful memories are constant in your life and nobody can take that away from you.

[@cheryldingley4546]

I loved this podcast so much. So meaningful yet so many laughs. You have an incredibly special connection and relationship. To you it may seem normal but for many of us we have never experienced a relationship with all the qualities you experience. The ability to be vulnerable and feel safe, the humour, the incredible friendship, the comfort and ease in each other’s presence, feeling secure and feeling seen and heard etc. For a love to grow and blossom as yours has is amazing. It is because of who both of you are. Not always easy to find. You are both truly amazing.

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

You’re absolutely correct! I envy the guy’s relationship so much! At 67 l know I’ve missed my chance at experiencing that kind of relationship, and friendship, much to my regret. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be a half of that kind of relationship! Next best thing is to be allowed to a part of theirs.

[@marysharvey]

I love this episode from you guys. I agree with your feelings about love. I have been married this April for 53 years. We are best friends, and love for us is being so comfortable with one another, that we can spend the day sitting in front of a fire, reading our books and feeling complete contentment to know the other is there, in silence, but there. Love is love, let’s embrace it!

[@Kitkatrey]

I am LOL at all the tangents and cheekyness. Hilarious, but also is deep conversation.

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Gotta have a mix of both, right?

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

I totally agree Valentine’s Day is a waste of money because you should show your love and appreciation for your loved one everyday of the year. Live in the moment because you never know how much time you have on this earth. I had 18 months of hell, my first dog Willow was killed, 6 months later my Mum died and 6.5 months after that my Brother suddenly died. Live your life now, don’t wait. I love you two, your honesty and love for each other is wonderful. ❤❤

[@touringtourne]

My ROFL moment was «I can´t walk today. This is love».

[@lindsaykendall3696]

To the Tea-Time submitter: I would write him a note and fold it like the little triangles we used to do when we were in middle school and high school and give it to him. Bring back all the nostalgia 💛

[@richardbuckwalter8571]

You too just make me laugh!! Your love for each other is so amazing!! I feel I am getting to know the two of you so well, and what makes you tick. I found myself today finishing your sentences. Love you both, and you're love for each other!! Happy Valentines Day!! ❤🥂🍾 Now go jump those bones, Tyler, before Todd's hips give out!! 😂😂

[@monasandin762]

There is always hip replacement surgery

[@bobseeger342]

Hello Tyler and Todd it's been quite awhile since I've seen you guys you both are looking amazing thanks for sharing this Valentines Day blog ❤

[@skammer2007]

Gotta love the boys.....lost my husband in 1991 to cancer.........still miss him

[@davidperez58]

Hopefully people watch the podcast on YT, your facial expressions, your smiles, laughs are priceless.

[@barbarar.7833]

You two are just the cutest 😊. Love Eddy by you for every podcast and love seeing Tyler without a hat.

[@JanitBianic]

My hips will go, oh my God, getting a slow glow is a departure from the serious podcast. “Every once in a while”, my bro Louie used to say, “every once in a while you have to blow the bugs out.” So great to take time to listen to what is below the hype of l-ov-e… 😊

[@Lexicito]

For years, my partner and I broke up every October. That eventually passed. We just celebrated 39 years this week.

[@kaitlynvandermeulen]

I love your guy's love! You are both so respectful of the other and it's so nice to see! I'm thankful I found someone who treats me the same! Happy Valentine's Day! ❤❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Aw love that, thanks Kaitlyn ❤️

[@GM-xj2ez]

I agree! Marketing is behind all of these holidays. Be spontaneous in expressing your love😊every day

[@davidperez58]

“My hips will go.” 😂 I laughed out loud a few times throughout this podcast, so great!

[@mikaelmodigh6085]

I come home from a stressfull day at work and starts to watch this episode ,and i´m so filled with joy and laughter . Seeing you there both happy and emotional ,you are so amazing ! Keep on being who you are , two wonderful persons in love with each other . Btw I totaly agree on both the opinion on Valentine´s day and on red wine . Happy Valentine´s day and a Big hug from Sweden

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Thanks Mikael, makes us to happy to hear that!

[@divekatdreaming]

Too funny!!!! The 5th love language is acts of service and you guys just spent the first half of the podcast talking about how Valentine's day isn't important because it is more important to you to do little things or bring home things to make each other feel special (gifts) rather than celebrate on one day!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly, I feel that you guys are such a great couple because you nail all of the love languages!

[@laurielahr9401]

You two are such an inspiration. Sometimes, though one doesn't find another Mr or Ms Right. My divorce was back in 1992. I was open for love to come again, and I fell in love several different times, but to no avail. None of them wanted anything permanent. The last time was in 2005, he married someone else while we were still seeing each other, but I didn't know it until she moved in with him. That was the last broken heart I never wanted. Now I am too old. I'm about to be 66, and nobody wants a 66 disabled person.😢

[@danw1952]

Wow! I was just wondering what you'd do after the camera is turned off and you answered! A conversation continues! Love knowing that.

[@coryelton3356]

When it comes to having other romantic interests after break ups, deaths, plane crashes on the sidewalk etc. I firmly believe that you can love someone else equally.........because you love each person differently.

[@lizblasingame8173]

I totally agree with you about hallmark holidays. Make it special throughout the year.

[@rom_talan1115]

You 2 were my Valentine's Day, which is ok. You made it worthwhile. Even with all the "tangents" ... it was all perfect, if random, love. I have a lovely friend from Heartstopper sites who posted this morn that in Finland, it is common for Valentine's Day greetings to focus on Friends, and not necessarily on lovers. Here's to all our Friends out there. 💖💞

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Agreed, can totally be a day to celebrate friendships too ❤️ Thanks for listening today!

[@eileenstec7862]

Your communication is so healthy. My wife died after 29 years together and adjusting to life after a woman I knew was my soul mate was very, very difficult.

[@shaniaa1295]

Listening to this on my lunch break at work really brought me peace for some reason. Your explanations of relationships and boundaries really resonated with me. In my future relationship i hope to have a love that grows, changes and meshes well like yours. I know your relationship isnt perfect and thats what makes it real. Happy Valentines Day btw from Trinidad 🇹🇹 ❤

[@donnamccaffrey4364]

My love language is that I can be bought, I just don’t come cheap. Happy Valentine’s Day ❤❤

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

🤣🤣🤣

[@markwedlock8808]

My husband and I have that same thought. Not going to bed mad. At least have a plan to make things right in our relationship. Sometimes you just need to talk to each other and work out your thoughts and problems.

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Totally agree!

[@tomtauscher721]

We were married November 16th 1985, I worked retail I did not have many days off. I gave my wife of 32 years a little something on the 16th of every month. I think it made me realize that I was lucky to be married to a woman who was 26 years older than me. I miss her everyday. I am too old to try again.

[@sooeyjane476]

The two of you are the BEST! I love watching you as you interact with each other. Hugs and Love, all around!

[@ellenpickart2764]

Eddie cracks me up how he just crashes right there while you guys chit chat on the couch!❤

[@lorenzoItaly89]

It was certainly one of the most beautiful podcasts. Maybe the most beautiful. I got emotional and cried as well. Valentine's Day is a commercial recurrence like many others, but in my opinion if you live it with the right spirit and value it can take on a deeper and more special meaning. Yes, absolutely life is a wonderful journey where in a couple you grow both together and individually and it's nice to show love by acts of service by taking care of the daily needs of the guy you love, I really enjoy doing that. For me, love for close and special friends like you, near or far that are, is also a celebration of Valentine's Day. I love you more and more 💗🌺😘

[@danw1952]

Only 10 minutes in and I've already teared up with Todd's story about falling asleep after Ty held him. What a treasure you both are to follow! Anticipating more joy and comedy...plus tea in what comes next. ❤❤❤ ..

[@twoforonecreativelife]

We laughed so hard with your stories. They’re crazy relatable. We love you guys ❤. Thanks for the giggles.

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

so glad to hear, thank you!

[@JLgG2454]

Thank You for this Valentine's Tangent; feeling particularly grateful to know two humans across the [frozen] pond that have managed their lives remaining Ego-clean... There are so little a number of people that do understand Destiny and accept genuinely the forces that, greater than each and everyone of us, manage the truth within our choices and the forces that decide the when and where of our freedom of choices are aimed for either a stumbling block, or cleared to reach what it is that we aimed at. After all it is an ego that in our world decided that Astronomy is a science where Astrology is not, where it actually translates each and ever movement of the planets and the stars to map where it is we appeared on that road of life, and how it is that we will walked to. Thank You again. Much love, from France, Jean-Louis

[@hebulanebula]

My special man wrote me a love letter, every Friday..in the first year , we were dating. ❤ and every card he’s written in, since, is filled with heartfelt writing , from front to back. And he does so many sweet things for me on a daily basis. Holidays are like normal days. I’d much rather , be loving every day. We dance in the kitchen , when we hear a great tune. We hug and kiss every day. Hugs are my favorite !!! Long , warm snuggly hugs.😅🙌🏻☺️ and, if I just casually say , I’m craving honey bbq corn chips, on top of chili, with. Caramel frappe . Bam! It shows up for lunch . He’s so generous and kind hearted. [ Did you just pop a joint, and watch the butterfly effect?] 😅😅😅 too funny ! 🐿👀😅

[@sophiesmeenk1076]

55 years together and you both are so right. Jumping bones is absolutely wonderful, but being together, having a deep connection and building memories together is what makes it last. Even though we bite each other's head off from time to time. Part of the deal. ❤❤❤

[@andyshacks7812]

You’re so right - love changes as you get older. Quality time is what we both find important, although there is still a time and place for the “other stuff” 😉. That moment when you held each other’s hand and said “I love you “ was just beautiful. ❤

[@janiemarie2550]

I feel the same way about Valentine's Day being a gimmick. My husband and I tell each other we love each other everyday and we show each other how much we love each other daily. I don't feel I need a special day to tell my husband how much I love him and how much he means to me.

[@suze6083]

You guys had me “rollin’” 😂😂🤧☝️”ROLL AROUND” 😳 Hilarious!!

[@michelleevans1847]

Valentines is just another day , much prefer a moment that’s not a social economic day , love watching you guys 🇦🇺😘

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

We learn and grow in our 20’s, 30’s, 40’s , 50’s, etc…in many different ways as individuals and as a couple…and you guys have done it as a team in your projects spending so much time together and invested as a team on a life project which makes the process even that much more intense. ❤

[@HurricaneHeather]

I hope I'm around when you two see this one in 10 years. There is so much you will learn in that time. You'll likely laugh at some points like I did. I was like you once upon a time. Just keep growing and being kind and gentle with each other.

[@conniem7341]

I agree with what you guys are saying! My husband and I never left the house without a kiss and a "I love you" because that is how we felt. If you only do something nice on certain Holidays because you feel like you have to, there may be a problem.

[@KathySinotte1985]

Love you both, we have been married for 38 years, we decided long ago not to celebrate Valentines Day, as you said it's bullshit holiday anyway, surprise each other throughout the year with small gestures of love, that keeps the spark alive 💖

[@ForShari]

"Go save your family's Inn" Hahahahahaha I love you guys!

[@kristineclark43]

I love that Todd fell asleep with Tyler holding him. That story really got me because i have been married to the best man on earth for 32yrs and he always senses when i need to be held to sleep. Nothing makes me happier or feel more loved and safe than that. We don't do Valentine's Day for each other always for our children and 5 grandbabies however my husband bought me a beautiful orchid for no reason at all this past Mon. I would rather random because he loves and was thinking of me than because the calander said to. So missed you guys and so happy to be watching this pod cast. Nothing brings a smile to my face on you tube except you both. Enjoy your week be safe and healthy as always❤Kris🇨🇦

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Thanks so much Kristine, wishing you all the same! ❤️

[@soilofk]

OMG, this is the best thing I've watched on Valentine's Day (after my partner, of course!). Loved it!! I have been with my partner since we were 14 (52 now). We have grown together so much, and we love it! The connection is deep, and we could not imagine being with anyone else. We both feel so lucky to have this special connection. We agree with you; Valentine's is every day, the little things...we do not do anything on Valentine's Day either lol

[@krysb77]

We have been together 17 years and married 6 years this year. This absolutely spoke to my heart and is exactly how we are. Everyday is Valentine’s Day and everyday we choose each other. We give kindness and grace when things are difficult.

[@susanmanley654]

Two weeks before my wedding, I threw he's wedding suit out and I hated him, 40 years of marriage, he woke me up with a bacon butty and I bought my self flowers for Valentine's Day day . Wouldn't have it any other way ❤

[@mrshadenoughofallthis911]

I agree with Tyler on Valentine’s Day. I have never liked it and then 20 years ago i nearly died in a horrific medical emergency because the medics were more focused on getting off shift in time for their valentines plans and missed the fact that I was dying from internal bleeding. So it definitely is not for me. My husband is the kind of guy who is so thoughtful all the time. Which is just as well as neither one of us have remembered a single wedding anniversary in 24 years.

[@ldawn1540]

I think Valentine's Day is a nice reminder to show love, and it doesn't have to just be your partner. My son (mid-twenties) still has this silly Love Frog I gave him when he was five. My partner and I went out for the first time on Valentine's yesterday evening. Why? Because neither of us wanted to cook due to a hectic schedule. We found a local restaurant that wasn't charging $$$ for a 5 course meal and just enjoyed the night out. I do agree that if the only time you are showing someone you love them is on VD (you'll get there again...), its a red flag. I think I would be kinda angry if he bought me a dozen roses on Feb 14 for $120. He knows I would prefer one tulip when spring hits. He's also given me a four-leaf clover that he found. We did give each other cards. I am artistic so often I make them, but he isn'... and that is okay! Yet we do spoil each other. I bought him (and myself) a kickass LECTRIC bike and accessories for Christmas. I am glad you brought up love languages because understanding your partners language which changes (meow Todd!) is key.

[@peggyboehnlein8755]

Nothing worthwhile comes easy!!!!

[@quickwillies]

So, when you mentioned Ben Platt I tagged his song and listened to it when you were done. I haven't stopped crying. Talk about beautiful! That guy is amazing!

[@Sunnypeach]

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Love is always around.

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

Happy belated birthday! 🥳

[@Sunnypeach]

Thank you 💜

[@wwonka52]

Happy Day! good to see you. We've lived together since early 90's. Only thing negative is this small house is too little for us. He's a homebody, and I just love being out of the house. it works for us. Plus I work 2 days a week for something to do. (both of us are 71) OMG .lol

[@kathleenchild]

I always appreciate your openness in sharing stories and your humour is my kind of humour. I think entering your 30s with a healthy belief in our own talents and abilities allows you to build a healthy relationship while becoming better individuals. Feeling deeply connected to each other means knowing and loving your partner on a level that goes beyond the day-to-day. Happy Valentines Day to Eddy, Charlie and Squirrel ❤️❤️❤️ Happy February 14th Tyler and Todd ❤️❤️

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

means a lot to us, thank you Kathleen! Wishing you the same ❤️

[@denomdemon]

There needs to be a love language called "leaving me the hell alone." That's the key to my heart.

[@genellbrooke]

I'm loving these! At the end of the day you both make the decision to choose each other and that is so beautiful.

[@michellejenkins5922]

Guys as you get older the sex is the icing on the cake. After 30 years of marriage going through sickness and health on both sides, you have a bond beyond that. I'm sitting listening to this thinking just how lucky and rich you both are. My husband and I are the same Valentine's is a crock of shit. Everyday should be Valentine's Day in what you do and say. As an insomniac we have separate bedrooms simply because he likes the TV on I don't, he sleeps with light I can't stand it. I haven't wanted to suffocate him in years. You make it your love work because life is always a work in progress.

Whatever you think about Valentine’s Day, it just needs to match up. ❤ and you guys are my relationship goals. Real love only deepens with time. Happy I get to watch you grow. I had that once. Fingers crossed I find it again.

[@tangentswithtylerandtodd]

very true!

[@annamariaiannacito5291]

❤ I have noticed positive changes in your relationship dynamics, subtle but real. You two have had huge issues beyond your control and your love and respect has won ❤

This was a very interesting chat and I wish more people would listen and actually hear your message.

Wow, I really love you two. You're probably never going to see this since there are already 243 comments but I hope you do. I have noticed many times in prior videos that you often talk along the lines of "if this relationship doesn't work" and it always strikes me that you are telling each other "this might not last forever." Personally, that would give me anxiety if I had a partner that implied that so often, BUT perhaps it works for the both of you to reiterate that the door could still be open so it makes you put in the effort to keep each other happy. I hope that makes sense! Today's video is the first time I can recall that you followed that up by saying "till death" (getting sucked into a plane engine) and that you hope that (breaking up) never happens. For me, I would need the implication of the door could still be open to be followed up by that reassurance. Again, I hope this makes sense! Love you guys and ALL your content. Thank you for sharing your lives and your beautiful love story with all of us!!

And you‘re completely right: It‘s so wonderful to get a little treat or flowers just on a random day and just because. I love that! I wished my husband would read this ;-)!

We do Valentine's Day, just a little more special than any other day. My hubby buys me little gifts (sometimes big like my fancy office chair last month) all year long & I try to do special things for him as well. Just because days. Today's gifts were all about comfort for him as he's not been doing well. He loves flowers so I hid them in the trunk of my car overnight. I will also go pick up dinner. I also get flowers at random times. Point being, we don't pick one day of the year to let each other know how loved & special we each are to the other. Being sappy is a 365 thing but especially of V Day because we like to.

"Just because days", love that!

I’m much more myself as I’m older! Well, I’m a different person always evolving and nicer as I found out.

[@carmenblanchard3596]

I’m loving the Couch Conversations. You guys are so relaxed, relatable, and realistic. I just sit back with my Diet Coke and enjoy the show. I really hope that you two one day, do sit in your rockers on your deck in your senior years enjoying life together. Be well.
