I agree. My husband and I met at 12 yo and stuck together since then other than for boot camp and military deployments. NOTHING is more important than your spouse. I wish more people would stand up and speak the truth.

[@chuckhoyle1211]

As someone who has been married nearly 30 years I can shed some light on common misconceptions. The biggest lie the entertainment industry has told the public, and the female half in particular, is that there is one single soulmate out there for each of us. That is a load of crap. Utter nonsense. There are, literally, millions of people on the planet that you could be happy with in a marriage. If you are a good and moral person and you find a good and moral mate, the rest will work itself out. People are being too picky. I guarantee that there are things that you do that will annoy potential mates. There are things I do that annoy my wife. There are things my wife does that annoy me. You will never find a 100% compatible person. The trick is to let the things that are unimportant slide. You have to learn to tolerate the annoying, but unimportant, things your spouse does. Giving them time to themselves is key. The biggest problem in the dating market today is the lack of good and moral people to begin with.

[@mattbasford6299]

Some of what you said is reasonable. My experience is that my wife of 32 years was made by God for me. I could have never been as happy with anyone else than her.

We raised 6 daughters and my husband would rotate taking one (once potty trained) out for breakfast on Saturday morning. He continued the tradition until they left home and that is the only one-on-one time they had with dad unless it was for discipline. The rest of the time, we did everything as a family. We prioritized having dinner together each night. Sometimes it didn’t work but it was the exception, not the norm. We had “Friday Family Fun Night” each week. With 8 of us, it couldn’t be anything pricey but we made it fun and sometimes silly. Raising a large family means you can’t do all the activities that seem to suck up so much time and money, but you can build a lasting relationship with your family.

[@CrabMeatElite]

What a great encouragement to me as a young dad! Been married 10 years with 4 kids and prayerfully more, and we take Monday as our "Family Day" since I work the other six. I just spoke with my wife about incorporating one-on-one breakfast with each of them once a month in addition to our family time, so I'm glad I read your comment. Thanks for sharing!

[@pattyhansen7563]

my hubby would take both of our girls separately to go hunting & fishing or up to the rifle range to shoot. Otherwise he hardly saw them at all, he worked so, so, so hard for me to be able to stay home. They do NOT resent it. It has turned one into a deer slaying machine - got a beautiful 8 pt this year at 17 years old! Now they are 20 & 17 and they get to spend more time with him, than I do. Their big thing is concerts now - he drove them to Taylor Swift, Chris Stapleton, & greta van fleet....nothing I want to do, so I let him have the glory. They always know that he loves them & has their best interests at heart.

[@the_jonb1]

Michael, I started a little before you, but I can attest that 6 kids is pretty much perfect (for my wife and I). My wife and I like to each take 1 child each month out for some 1:1 time. It makes all the difference in our individual relationships with them. I highly recommend it. It is a ton of fun, and we get to see completely different sides of them when they are away from all the rest of their siblings. We definitely depend on our extended family and community, though, for the full raising and training.

[@yazzminebraham1731]

I absolutely agree with Michael. You'll never find a person who ticks all your boxes, but finding someone you can grow with and figure stuff out together is one of the most valuable and beautiful things. You mature with them through the process and the bond strengthens. This is the main reason why my ex and I broke up. I'm 100% of Michael's perspective, while he thought that he couldn't be a burden and drag me along while he's trying to figure out his life. He never got that that's what being a partner is all about, to be there to support you, comfort you, and grow beside you ❤

[@juliaalvarez4783]

32. Married. 5 kids; we met in college and got married without wasting time. As someone from a big family and mother of a big family is how much siblings help each other. They play together, teach each other, and learn that they’re not the center of the world, but a part of it. Give your children siblings and you’ll never have to teach them to love their enemies or how to resolve conflicts.

[@adammyrick]

That’s sweet ❣️

[@awazzy]

Now that we're a bit older, and our kids are 12 and 15, my hubby and I wish we would have had more...at least 1 more! Kids grow up so fast. Thankfully both of ours want to stay living at home with us until they're done their college educations (vet school and engineering), so we'll get a lot more time with them before their move out to create their own lives. Plus, it helps them to save money to buy homes of their own one day if they don't need to pay rent to someone else that equals more than a monthly mortgage payment!

[@annodomino3935]

No! Don’t let them mooch. That’s another problem gen X is perpetuating! Letting their kids stay at home until they’re 25 or older. I’m a millennial and I had to go to college, work, and live on my own from the time I was 18. Didn’t have parents to run home to. And those were the most important years of my life where I really learned how to take care of myself and become an adult and make hard choices. If you let them stay with you, all so you can keep pretending they’re babies for a little bit longer- when they’re not- if you do that then you steal that formative time from them where little boys learn how to become Men. If you want your boys to become strong men you have to be strong too and kick them out and make them figure out how to be a man before they are saddled with a wife and kids they have to provide for but don’t have the tools to do so. It happened to us right after college when my husband and I couldn’t get jobs and so his parents let us live with them. And that was the worst decision ever! Mostly because his parents were *nice* and didn’t make us pay rent and my husband felt comfortable so he settled back into the comfortable son role and his mom coddled him. And he stopped being a strong husband because his mom coddled him and his dad never kicked us out. It almost ruined our marriage and the only way we turned things around was because I got a job teaching in China and my husband agreed to go with me. And that kicked him in the pants a little bit and he got himself back together while we were in China. And he stepped up and is now the father and husband I always needed him to be. Don’t do that to your sons. You think that the immediate care is *nice* and will spare them from some short-term suffering. (I.e. feeling poor in college) But in the long run it will hurt them and deprive them of needed experiences that will help them be better husbands and fathers in the long run.

[@awazzy]

@annodomino3935 normally I'd agree, but my kids are already strong, smart and independent. My son (15yo) works all summer with his dad in his mechanical company, and works just as hard as any of the other workers. My daughter (12yo) has been babysitting and earning money for herself for 2 years now. They both pay for their own cellphones, bought/built their own computers, and my son (who doesn't even have a learner's license yet) already bought himself a sensible car that's tucked away in our garage. They're good kids, and renting in Canada is only getting more and more expensive. Right now here, you can't rent even a bedroom in a place for less than $1500/month. It's ridiculous. I. I'm not worried about coddling my children, because they work hard, and have a lot to show for that. They also do daily chores at home, walk our 2 large dogs (plus another dog we foster) by themselves. They don't rely on me to get them food, either. If they're hungry, they just get up and make food for themselves, often asking if they can make food for anyone else, too. My hubby and I have raised great kids, who don't believe the BS that schools try to indoctrinate them with these days. They aren't afraid to challenge anyone, and stick up for themselves. If anything, I coddle my hubby! 🤣 He's the one who doesn't eat unless I bring him food, and he doesn't do housework. That being said, I think my kids have matured a lot in the last 3 years, because I was badly injured at work at the start of 2021 (in the trades) and was lucky not to have fallen to my death, instead of catching and injuring myself. Now, I'm unable to work due to being in constant pain, and can't do anything overly physical without increasing that pain to the point that I will lose consciousness. But, my kids know I like the house clean, and I used to cook everything myself (we rarely ever eat out...I like to control what's in our food and how it is prepared to make sure it's healthy). They took it upon themselves to learn to clean how I did, and I've been teaching them how to cook ever since. I'm not worried about them feeling poor in college, if they lived on their own. I'm worried that the way Canada is now, they will never be able to purchase a home for themselves if they don't save the money they would otherwise be putting towards rent while in college. We have discussed with them that we might "charge them rent" if they're having trouble saving that money on their own, and we'd just put it aside for them to use as a down-payment on a home when they needed it. They're both completely fine with that, and so are my hubby and I.

[@user-lt1jd1ye3v]

^ everything that person said above is ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with someone staying at home and working and saving up money after college. Being kicked out at 18 is ridiculous in this climate-by letting them live at home you’re helping them.. some people love their families/parents lol. Also gen x is not the only generation to do that, I have boomer parents and they wanted us to live at home in our 20s but a lot of us wanted to go out in the world. However there’s nothing wrong with parents providing a loving home to go back during transition periods.

[@user-lt1jd1ye3v]

Charging them “rent” and saving it up for them for a down payment one day is a brilliant idea!! Go Mom. It’s really nice to see such supportive and loving parents.

The young man's error is saying "liking what you like..." you get together young and GROW together and adapt-its NOT all about YOU. THAT is often what is wrong with relationships. It's called selfishness. No one knowns what they really like under the age of 20...however living and sacrificing for the one you love changes you and you might find you ENJOY giving just as much as receiving.

[@Razear]

The perceived abundance of sexual optionality afforded to us by dating apps creates a paradox of choice. Back when we were forced to more or less date within our social circles pre-Internet, decision-making was a whole lot simpler. People now have the ability to date far beyond their immediate geographical boundaries, which makes us more prone to questioning whether the person we're currently dating is truly the right choice.

[@lianamathew]

Love Michael's videos!

[@dianakaz228]

I agree with Michael’s last point. The presence of both parents in the home and spending time together as a family I consider to be enough. As a child of divorced parents (I was 21 so not really a child but my brother was 11) there’s such a gap between me and my father now. I was and still am daddy’s girl, we were always close but we didn’t spend a lot of time together and he didn’t go out of his way to play with me individually. He works a lot as a physical labourer so I don’t blame him. He did up until I was 6 or so but then I would entertain myself and I would talk with him when he came home. We also both love movies and animations so we would occasionally watch them together. So even though we didn’t spend a lot of time together, his presence at our home and the little interactions each day made our relationship strong and made his presence so big in my heart. Both parents being there, the family being together, is enough to grow up healthy.

As one of 6 brothers I can say it’s great. There’s enough of us to be a small community. About the concern with not having enough time parent and child, it really isn’t a problem.

My dad worked a lot but my mom was able to stay home and homeschool us so we were always taken care of. It would be nicer if you could make more money on one income so the dad can be with everyone more but I wouldn’t trade it for both parents working and more more money.

[@pattyhansen7563]

(before we pulled our kids out of public school) my daughter would come home crying about how her 'friend' was always showing off her American Girl Doll. They were way out of our price range, because I stayed home. And even tho my hubby worked his tail off, we never had tons of money. Finally after hearing enough of this whining I scolded her. I told her that Madison had to have 2 parents working to pay for ONE doll. Where as, she got to have one parent home to do all sorts of fun things for/with her that would never take the place of a plastic doll. And then I asked her, "Do you even want one of these dolls, would you even play with one?" the answer was "no". I told her to quit whining because she was so lucky that she didn't even know how lucky she was. I knew the inner workings of Madison's parents - lets just say, not a happy marriage. That pricey doll was to assuage a dump truck load of guilt. Would it have been nice if my hubby made more money? maybe, but then we would have missed out on a lot of very important life lessons - working with what you have, being content, being resourceful, being industrious, and NOT WHINING. Sounds like your parents did a stellar job & you are lucky to have so many siblings to go through life with....blessings to you!!!

In my late 50's. Married 32 years to a girl I met when she was 16 and I was 18. No infidelities. No divorces. 3 grown daughters. I consider myself "happily married" but it certainly wasn't always happy/perfect. We stuck it out through the difficult times, we never wanted to hurt each other intentionally. We never confused "being in love" with "being happy". These kids here, spouting the common trope of "find yourself first"...Michael is right...that's proven itself to be a failure hasn't it? Isn't it what we have been doing for a while now? How has THAT worked out? Find someone you are attracted to. Find someone kind. Find someone with the same basic goals in life (house/kids/etc). And find someone with the same religious beliefs as you (if you are Religious). If you find that don't waste time with some BS excuse of how you "don't know yourself yet". A shared Faith and belief in our vows. That was our core. Shared basic outlook on life. We both had marriage and kids and raising a family/household as our ultimate goals in life. And we grew up together. The whole "growing apart" meme is based on people who really didn't have much in common in the first place..not because they started out with a common worldview and somehow "changed". Happiness is a fleeting feeling, you can be happy, unhappy, sad, angry, etc over the course of a single day. Even when we were not "happy" for an extended period, we both admit that we still "loved" each other and wanted things to get better. Don't get obsessed with how "happy" you are (or or not). I called the 30's-40's "The Hump"...when the kids are most demanding, when money was tightest, when we were too tired, anxious, busy to treat each other the way we each deserved to be treated. When the most temptation to stray happened....if you can get past "The Hump" without doing anything you can't forgive each other for....things will get better. Hang on. One of the biggest hurdles we all face as married people...the decline in sex...is typically the biggest issue for men when going over "The Hump". In that mix is hormonal birth control, which was a BIG factor for my wife. All you young married folks...be aware. The whole "she needs you to be X (romantic/loving/etc)" to have sex and "you need sex to feel romantic/loving/etc toward her...vs resentful that she hasn't touched you in weeks" is a THING. You need to talk about it, schedule it, do something about it or it will eat your relationship alive. I still love my wife now as much as I did when she was my beautiful 20-something yo bride. It's been as close to a "Storybook Romance" as reality can provide. But it was absolutely NOT a "Happily Ever After" story. Western media...especially romance/rom-com's...has been a HUGE problem for our society IMO. Date for marriage. Make good choices. Marry for the right reasons. Commit. Be Faithful. Persevere.

People need to get rid of this idea of finding "the one" There is no "the one" You just figure it out And even if you think your partner is "the one".....just give it some time, you'll think differently. Figure out how to work with each other. And remeber.....it's not always about YOU.

Children do NOT need tons of 'individual' attention from parents. That is why we have so many spoiled kids that can't play with others, nor can entertain themselves. Children are meant to be PART of the family unit, not the sole focus. When my older daughter would ask me to to play with her, I would tell her, "that is what I gave birth to you sister for"😅 Met my hubby when I was 4 & he was 7. We rode the same school bus & lived on the same road, but were never friends. He was the bad boy type & I was a nerd. Reconnected after I graduated college & he was thru being wild. We started dating & both agreed that we were done 'messing around' and wanted this to be for marriage. 3 mos. I got pregnant & we've been together ever since - 22 years, married for 20 in Oct. Most of our peers are divorced at LEAST once by now & have kids with multiple 'partners'. Who knew we would end up 'counter culture radicals' just for longevity🤣

[@TokenTech]

How do you give time to each child individually? That’s a weird question, I grew up in a medium sized family and we spent family time I don’t think we really ever needed individual time. Honestly it’s probably better that way because we grew up within about the family first and not being self centered

Loving

[@FranklinEdwardsIII]

Sad to say we don’t need a person who likes exactly what you like is wrong. You actually need to like different things but have the core thoughts closer but hobbies etc. different is better and then you each can have moments of time to do your own thing without your partner. If you do everything together. Then you will get on each other’s nerves more. The thing that makes most marriages not work is fighting over money

[@chachamorales543]

The only thing I disagree is having lots of kids. Sometimes having lots of kids can take away from your time with your spouse. Kids, although super precious, and bring joy into your lives, can be tiring and expensive. I’d say … have 3. 3 is perfect.

[@OpEditorial]

Except for Andrew Klavan and Jordan Peterson, the entire on-air talent of The Daily Wire are millennials (even Matt Walsh, who talks like he's in his 60s) so it's no surprise the fact they were all lucky (rich) enough to find someone physically attractive and mentally stable enough to marry young.

[@desertrose0601]

I’m not sure what your point is. That rich people are more stable? That Millenials had more marriageable women? I think the common factor for all these people is that they’re religious and highly value marriage. That’s it. Most people aren’t and don’t. It’s not luck, it’s purpose.

[@OpEditorial]

@desertrose0601 Yes, you're right. It is obvious you didn't get my point. I was just saying most of the on-air talent at DW is under 40, with Brett Cooper being the youngest. They also happen to all be well-connected millionaires, and this helps way more than one might think when finding someone worth marrying. That's all I was saying.

[@sivad1025]

I would much rather date in Gen Z than millennial. The millennials were the peak of crazy feminists. There's been a bit of a reversion

[@tayloranderson7966]

I’m pretty sure Matt Walsh and his wife married before he worked for daily wire and they weren’t well off. Not trying to pick a fight or argue - Just throwing it out there. :)

[@OpEditorial]

@tayloranderson7966 Agreed, though Matt Walsh appears to have had an arranged marriage by the way he talks about it. The other point is, most of the Daily Wire cast are strict Catholics (divorce is basically outlawed) so finding a person worth marrying is easier, for them at least.

[@brokenarrow3808]

Michael, I teach to Jews that speak Hebrew, Hebrew. What? It started when God confronted me, "Issac didn't leave Abraham. Jacob's kids didn't leave him. Why would Genesis ever say that a mean leave his father and mother, cling to his wife? It can't say that, because that is not my will. If it happens, it causes damage, and if people stick with me, I can make it workout, but it's still causing harm that it should not." So, that got me down the journey of learning Hebrew, teaching the lies of the (ENGLISH) bible to help people understand, "The KJV was the beginning of translation, yet everyone has stopped there. Let's not stop there. Learning from the mistakes of our parents, and dig into finding what was lost." Michael, you have done so much, no cost to you if you want to learn some things Ben can't teach you. What you provide others publicly is payment enough. The Lord wants to bless you; let me know if I can help.

Very bad idea. All it does is drive spouses further apart. It’s the nail in the coffin. Try Retrouvaille instead and learn how to communicate and know one another more intimately.

[@paulawhite2882]

Let God determine the number of children! I think He knows best!!

[@culturalobserver8721]

If Michael’s wife is 34 years old like he is, and he wants SIX kids but has only two, they better hurry and have more children very soon, because most women’s fertility begins to wane at age 35-37 and some women’s fertility starts to wane at 32-33 years old! Good luck Knowles family! 😮😬

[@callunas]

In populations that didn't limit family size, women had their last baby in their early-mid 40s, on average. It's definitely possible!

[@user-lt1jd1ye3v]

If you’ve already had 2 kids your fertility goes up, you goober. Men’s fertility goes down after 35-but in this case since this couple are obviously still healthy and fecund, I think they’ll be alright. Worry about yourself though.

[@culturalobserver8721]

@@user-lt1jd1ye3v What a RUDE and CHILDISH person you are to call others names! And you’re not even accurate!! A woman’s fertility begins to wane in her mid 30’s and sometimes even earlier, even if she has had previous kids! And most men can become fathers up until their 60’s and some guys even in their 70’s!

I realize this isn’t what they are trying to do, but anytime you listen to a Daily Wire personality, they try so hard to convince young people (20 somethings) to get married that they convince people in their 30s that their is no hope because it’s just too late.

[@desertrose0601]

I mean it’s not ideal to wait but that doesn’t mean there’s no hope. Start meeting people and see what happens.

[@sivad1025]

So we should let 20 year olds make the same mistakes as the 30 year olds just to spare people some hurt feelings? It's a fact: if you're 30 and deliberately put off marriage over a decade, it was almost certainly a mistake. And for many people, it IS too late because they were on birth control for over a decade and ruined their own fertility. The best thing you can do is protect the next generation from the same mistakes

[@bebeerin]

​@@sivad1025 how come all the birth control commericials say that birth control does NOT affect fertility? where are you getting your information?

@@bebeerin Are you seriously getting medical information from drug infomercials? Why do you think cigarette companies claimed for decades that smoking has no impact on lung cancer?
