Virgins Married at 19 // 5 YEARS LATER

[@gracehoffman6404]

Seeing Zach grow more comfortable in front of the camera over the years has been so special

[@Quartzknee]

It has! He’s so funny, and I’m glad he’s getting more comfortable. It’s adorable seeing them both.

[@katieclarke5259]

I love seeing Zach in the videos. Such a sweet couple.

[@rebeccawilliam8681]

Hi Grace how are you doing?

[@gemmagolden4760]

I got married at 18, my husband was 19. We just celebrated 15 years in August. I don't think getting married young is for everyone, but it can definitely work. He is my absolute favorite human on the planet and I'm so so happy with him every day. Everyone thought we were crazy, but we were just crazy about each other!

[@msaijay1153]

So are you 33? I am too but this year will be my 4th anniversary. I had to wait for my favorite person, I wish I would've found mine when I was younger.

[@Abcdefghijajajaja]

I got married at 18, it is not for everyone, not everyone understands.

[@ShadowHorseVideo]

Zach should start his own DIY woodworking channel. Then he can have his own channel to be creative with and be a permanent stay at home dad.

[@saramartino4473]

Yes! And maybe with more of the technical details of all the home renos. I would love to learn from his skills, from painting basics to how he made those corner shelves!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Yeeees I'd love that!

[@cielo.y.suenos]

This is so smart!!

I like how you un-edited this video, with little conversations bw you two included! So raw, love it

[@raenewnham7490]

The way you talk about how you deal with arguments is so healthy. Communicating with a clear head is sooo important.

[@MeteoricMarlin]

My husband and I have a shared bank account, but we still have our own separate accounts that we had before getting married. We both set up an automatic deposit into the shared account each paycheck and all the bills are taken out automatically out of that account. So we share all the bill responsibilities while still retaining our financial independence. We don’t have kids though so I assume if/when we do, the only thing that will change is the amount we deposit into the shared account will increase. We think it’s important to work as a team but grow as individuals as well. Most of my friends share bank accounts with their spouses because it’s what everyone else does. But the thing they argue about most is money. So I think every couple should do things in a way that works best for them, rather than the “traditional” way because it’s what everyone else does.

[@catgeel264]

We also have a shared bankaccount that we use for almost everything, but have kept our 'old' accounts. Our paychecks and everything goes into the shared account, and then we put a small percentage of income into our 'old' accounts as 'pocketmoney'. This way, we have money to spend that we don't need to discuss or argue about. I would never spend much money on electronics for instance and we might have fights about it if he were to spend it from the shared account, but now I can enjoy him being happy with his electronics, as he bought them from his pocket money. I can buy fabrics for sewing whatever I want, it's my pocket money. Etc etc. Saves us a lot of hassle from working with two accounts, and arguements from working with only one account.

[@bellaevans4488]

This is so shady though. Like there is zero reason to do this if neither party is hiding things.

[@cassandrahood7665]

I think getting married young is so underrated. People spend their whole lives looking for their other halves... if you meet yours young, why would you let them go?! I love my husband so much and I couldn’t imagine not having him. Marriage has been hard but I wouldn’t trade it for the world❤️ 4 years together 01/22/2021!! Happy anniversary to you two as well🥳

[@ashleybeazley]

This is true but sometimes people think they found the right person but they are wrong lol. I met my first real boyfriend at 17 and we were together til I was 28. We never got married and thank goodness. I met my now husband a few years after the breakup and we are deliriously happy with a 16 month old

[@WhiteCinnamon44]

Totally agree!

[@gplummer73]

@@ashleybeazley I thought I found the one three years ago until he broke my heart this summer. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out

[@cccgirly367]

Yes! I got married at 19 to my high school sweetheart and I’ve never had a single regret. There’s something so special about learning and growing up with the person you love!

[@2125691]

I agree 🥰 next week I celebrate two years with my husband. married a week before I turned 19 💕

[@karlakizuka8018]

Watching this truly breaks my heart I feel I’ve been in denial for so many years about my relationship and marriage. This makes me realize that I’m not in the healthiest relationship and the best thing for me would be to walk away from this. Also writing this 4 months post partum with our second child. My heart is so broken but I do believe god led me to finding your channel and there’s a reason why I was presented with this content.

[@HAN.NAH.384]

Remember, you are always loved💕

[@beelastra4901]

😔 I've been where you are. After my second child I realised I married the wrong man and lived in regret until I built the courage to kick him out. It's not easy and I wish I had married my best friend from the beginning (who I'm now with). If you ever need a listening ear, happy to listen 💖 sending you lots of love

[@Gracielooks]

I hope you will be OK.

[@pjengland286]

I would like to add if it's unhealthy it can BECOME healthy through work and counseling. I know there's extreme cases where you just need to get out but if it's not in that place. I would look into Marriage Team or some kind of couples counseling. Things can get better if both are willing and even if only you make changes, YOU can be happier and healthier even if he doesn't. ❤️ I just care and don't want you to give up if there's a way things can better. For my and my husband Marriage Team changed our marriage and we are incredibly happy.

[@amedina919]

I’m so sorry I hope you get through this. 🤍

[@chloepallas5733]

I total agree with Zach’s quality he admires about you! You’re so humble and kind! When you replied to my Instagram message I was honestly shocked 😳 I never thought you would even see it let alone reply! So humble! A beautiful soul!! ❣️❣️

[@themasterbower]

Happy anniversary! I loved seeing your chemistry in this, and hearing your honest and raw answers was hilarious 😂. Thanks for being a great representation of a Christian marriage - two imperfect people committed to each other, loving each other through thick and thin, and not remembering past arguments!

[@hollysprite3096]

I love how real you both are! Not putting on a ‘everything is perfect- we are perfect’ show. This was so cute, thanks for sharing!!

[@oliviarucker5013]

I love that Zach's answer for marrying you was that he just wanted to be with you. That's how my husband and I felt. We got married at 19 and 21, and it was the best decision. Sometimes I think people over complicate things when it comes to commitment and marriage. With God at the center, good communication, and just a desire to be with them and love them- that is enough!

[@tryphenarose384]

Amen. Completely agree. ❤️

[@madmarich.]

Would love to see a passion project by Zack on this channel! Like a video or video series that's really driven by him. I'm curious what his style is beyond b-roll and what he wants to contribute.

[@peachettte]

[@eunicebugaian1397]

[@shantanakillingbeck332]

[@carolinhermann8036]

They're just the cutest!😍 I got married with 18 with full support from both families, which is very young for a lot of people. But we're so happy and know how blessed we are!❤

[@CorrinaRoseWrites]

You both are so lucky your parents were supportive of marrying so young! Id love a video about that part of it. My husband and I wanted to be engaged when we turned 21 but our parents were against it because of our age so we ended up just eloping and not everyone was happy or supportive of our decision but at 25 and 2 kids later, we couldn't be happier!

[@feminotlady7208]

Happy anniversary! My husband always forgets to tell me things. It drives me crazy! Love the shared calendar idea

[@loupaeris2725]

You inspire me so much. I'm 20 years old and engaged. Our families find it awesome, but around us people find it so young for us to simply be engaged, not even married. Happy anniversary even though it's not the 14th yet!

[@hannahadams6942]

Just want to say if you want to dance, do it. I don’t feel there is a such thing as bad dancing! It’s an expression of joy felt through music and energy. I looove dancing, I have three siblings and we would often have “dance parties” growing up even through our late teen years. We’d turn music on in our living room and just dance together! It was so much fun. Cherished memories that I will be passing on with my children💕

[@TessuhBetch]

Happy anniversary! Love the relaxed and raw interview with Zach.

[@heather196]

Super duper common for kids raised in strict Christian communities to marry very young. Sex plays a humongous roll in that and it also means people stay together morbidly unhappy because “we don’t believe in divorce”. Personally I think it’s sad. I was raised in that kind of community and was called and old maid to my face when I was 23 and not married yet. I have no use for that mentality any more in my life.

[@MaiaHochman69]

Agree 100%

[@Daymickey]

That’s what you got from this sweet video? I agree with you in a way but clearly they have a healthy happy marriage and no matter what age or what the motivation is, the same elements need to be present to make a relationship work, even outside a strict community.

[@mariacamvill402]

Wow! I got married at 23 and everyone lost their mind about how young I was to get married. You guys are so brave! The concept of marriage has been so twisted over the years that some jokers even said “I’m sorry for you” when I announced I was engaged. I love to see these couples who love and treasure each other. My husband and I can’t imagine our lives without being married. We did live together some months prior to the wedding as he moved from our home country to be with me in Japan, definitely the best decision of my life! Congrats on you guys ❣️

[@oliviaswieton]

The dynamic between you two is EXACTLY the same as my husband and I! We’re 21 and 26 and have been married for a year now!

Literally my boyfriend. I could pour my heart out to him telling him how great he is and how happy I am with him and he be like "Yeah I know haha" 😂

[@Splitleaf]

He’s right that rule of thirds is nicer for an interview shot but since this is a more intimate conversation, the tighter shot with less headspace woulda probably been better. Both right, different perspectives!

I relate/look up to y’all so much! I’m so thankful I’ve met my soulmate so young at 18. We’ve been inseparable for four years, lol. It’s such a cool experience growing up and growing old together. My mom is 50 and still hasn’t found true love. I know how hard it can be for those who haven’t found that connection. Constantly looking... That’s why it’s so important to take refuge in the Lord and not put a significant other (or the idea of a significant other) before Him.

[@maenalambrecht2036]

Happy anniversary ! I love seeing you too :) It's so nice to hear about your type of relationship. A lot of what you say resonate with me, and I wish me and my fiancé would be married already (we're 21, i've been ready to be married with him since 19 haha)... But the times are special and we would like to be settled before getting married! Can't wait... Love you guys!

[@anneliesjoss]

“You never doubted that you would share” is what you’re trying to say, I think. (There’s no doubt in your mind that you would share)? I think Zach is right when he says “it’s good that we can’t think of the worst fight”. It’s not important to any of us anyways. It is however nice to hear how different couples handle fights and arguments. To me, taking a little time to cool off, and them come back and talk about it, or apologize if you realize you were wrong, works well. Giving each other the silent treatment for days, like my husband and I often did when we were younger, is almost telling the other person that he or she is not worth fixing the issue. I’m so glad we don’t do that anymore. It made us both feel horrible. What you said about Zach, treating everyone, regardless of background, with the same respect, is a wonderful quality, and I fully agree. My dad always made me feel that people who make more money deserve more respect. I struggled with that for many years. I’m confused, you say you’re Mennonites, and that Mennonites are completely different from Christians, but then you say you are Christians.

[@theraayato5346]

Going on seven years of marriage , 11 together, and we also married virgins, No regrets we love each other as much or more than before. We also share bank accounts and have a huge calendar in our living room wall where everything goes, it simplifies so much. Also for the past 2 years my husband had to be the stay-home-dad, and it definitely caused stress in our marriage, just until recently we switched to me being home and him working and it has definitely helped with our work life balance. You guys are amazing and will come through this even stronger!!. lots of blessings your way.

...such a great couple -- Happy Anniversary! Love your channel. -I would not take wiping of the mouth personally; but, hubby might turn away or wait to wipe oil/makeup off his face :) -Please consider putting the renovations on hold until the other house is sold; take the stress seriously. Here in the states it is exceedingly rare to buy a house before the other house is sold (most have to purchase contingent on sale). I would rent while selling to avoid the stress of selling and buying at the same time (and I do not usually do things to avoid stress).

[@ileanaaaaa]

Cooling down for an argument was the best advice we received from our pastor before our marriage. Everyone process angry emotions differently and you have to respect that. He explained to us like talk to each other when you are in “green” maybe “yellow” mode but if one of you is in red, you can’t force the conversation to happen. Otherwise you can hurt each other’s feelings without meaning to and after 9 years of marriage and applying this advice since the beginning, we have never yelled at each other or be mean or disrespectful to one another. So the “patching up” becomes an easy thing if that makes any sense. 🙏
