Thank you so much for tuning into this episode of How Married Are You?! See you next week!
My now husband introduced me to the podcast when we were single and we both admired and wanted what y’all have. Our dynamics are sooo similar to yours (he is such a glen in his way of thinking and I’m such a Yvette in my personality lol) So y’all have always been relatable but even more so now that we are married.
Hey Henry's! I'm single and when I watch, while I don't idolize marriage or the relationship you guys are sharing, I HIGHLY VALUE your authenticity and joy and I find it inspiring. It's evidence of God's faithfulness and evidence that settling with ANYone won't do. You both chose the right one, in one another. True purpose partnership. And that's Dope! Thanks yall!
"I don't necessarily watch us and be like... I want that." -GH 😂 I'm recently divorced, and when I watch y'all, I admire what y'all have precisely because its real. I'm excited for someone to be willing to stick it out with me. In the depths of the valleys and peaks of the mountaintops. That's what I've gleaned from you two over the years.
I'm married and when I watch ya'll I have a sigh of relief and say "them too" with a smile on my face. LOL The podcast is relatable and helpful and I feel like I'm talking with friends in the same season of life as my husband and I. Love it.
I’m single and the realness is what i think is fun! And what i desire in marriage lol. I don’t idolize it but i get excited to have some of the convos y’all are having with a hubby. Plus the fact that y’all laugh through it all! Even the bad, I def want that.
ALSOOOO here’s an idea… You guys talk about switching lives so much.. Maybe a HMAY role swap vlog?? Yvette does the ceo work and glen stays home in the fullness of what y’all experience and no help from the other side lol
I’m weak at “I get to respond that’s what I get to do”
I am engaged and I definitely look at what you guys have as something I would like in my union. Specifically the radical honesty, integrity, protection over each other, friendship and the longevity of your marriage. And y’all still laugh, flirt, play! Shooooo ! I love it here. ♥️ y’all definitely have something special. And might I add the way you both are purpose partners for each other! Y’all are def #couplegoals
LOL I love you guys and your banter is hilraous , I think as a single person that it gives me a real perspective on marriage and I appreciate you both for sharing it :)
Ya'll are the ONLY couple I follow on SM because you feel so relatable and as a newlywed you both provide relationships guidance that I don't get in real life! You are a beautiful couple & I thank you for sharing your wisdom 🤎
I know you guys really love staying on track when filming but I really enjoy the strayed conversations just as much as the discussion. Love you guys
I have too idolized your marriage at times because of the great communication and dialog that you two can have - I have not experienced this level of authentic, honest dialog in a relationship and it is something that I definitely desire and have found myself soaking it all in by binge watching episodes at times.
Lmaooo nah I’m the one taking notes😂
trust and believe, I am like Yvette, I have a journal and take notes about marriage. I love watching you guys and your kids, and I take notes when I need to!! Thank you for these amazing videos!
I'm that taking notes person - but more so in my head than in real life, I really need to get it together. Single and found this podcast during the pandemic. I've learned SO MUCH from you both and really value your authenticity and willingness to be vulnerable. I definitely can see how people can watch and want what you have, because you're an example of how things can work when you're willing to put in the work. Thank you so much for all you do, God bless 💚
The laughter keeps coming...pretty soon this will be a sitcom "The Glen & Yvette hour!!"
The message that I'm taking away from this episode is....
Marriage will NEVER be easy work but, alway find the laughter in it as you continue learning each other.
Thank you Guy!!
I never know what to expect from you two. However, I always know I will laugh and feel good after watching. ❤
I don't watch and think i want to be yall. I watch and love how real you both are. I love the relationship between the two of you. Yvette is more reserved about things and Glen is relatable. He's not embarrassed to keep it real.
This podcast reminds me of the podcast “Is This Gonna Cause and Argument”. Glenn is patient. 😊
I do watch y’all, (single; in my early 20s) and you both are definitely relationship goals.
I just cackled @ 21:41. As a single woman, I definitely watch y’all and say, I want that! I had to take a break too bc my desire to be in a healthy marriage is so strong that I let it overtake the other things that God was calling me to work on. The REAL is good. The fact that y’all can sit in each others company and just chop it up is bomb 👏🏾. I don’t need the fluff, I can tell that y’all are happy and in love.
I do look at you and see that your relationship is real. I am married and we are working on being vulnerable/transparent in our relationship.
Im a SAHM and I HATE COOKKING! Im with you!
Single Woman here👋🏽 who definitely also took a break from your content from the same episode the young lady mentioned; recently had a break up so very much relate to the writer of the email I’m just nine years younger. Some times I watch and sometimes I listen but you guys do showcase a beautiful friendship and love that is very desirable. Love the podcast! Keep doing what you’re doing. God bless.
It’s real! And I want real! 😩❣️
I’m one of the single viewers that views yalls podcast definitely in preparation. I am a mom of a toddler boy so definitely take advice from the parenting perspective but I don’t look at you alls marriage and be like “ooooh I want yalls exact marriage” because I don’t know exactly what it took to get y’all where you are. I definitely look at y’all’s union and am grateful to see that this type of love exist. The transparency in love that y’all share, inspires me to hold on till I’m released to my purpose partner. I’m from Baltimore,I’m a brown woman of faith, I’m not perfect, I’m a creative in a sense …and it’s been through yalls podcast that I believe even the more that real love does exist. So thank y’all🤗
I definitely watch because y’all keep it real. It’s reassuring that other ppl are going through it too. I love the transparency.
Married w 4 kids❣️& I be like "I love their honesty"
Please let us know early about the event, I would love to come! I live in Tennessee
Another great 👍 episode! 😂 Loved Glen's how married are you!😂
Yvette be terrifying poor Glen with her threats! 😅
That was hilarious
I love y’all so much 😂 I do watch y’all and want what you have! I love my marriage and my husband so much, but I see where I’d like us to have the hard conversations like you two do. It’s not easy for either of us, but I know how much we could benefit from it if we just push through. So I love the conversations y’all have - and I think we all know there’s a lot of REAL REAL to go with it all. Please do feel free to show the joy though! I love all your content but my favorite is when y’all laugh together. 😊 Thanks for doing all you do!
I look at y’all and love how you guys are growing together. And the love you guys clearly have for each. Even before you guys went on your break arguments and all😅… in Yvette’s words,you guys really do have a good thing going. With the glimpses you show us. It speaks volumes to how you are both growing together.
“A crush is just a lack of information”
Favorite podcasts are when you both make each other laugh and laugh like you did here. Great stuff every time it happens!
I wouldn't say I idolize it, but I do look at how you organically make each other laugh out loud and wish I had that dynamic with my husband. Don't know if you both understand how rare it is and how blessed you both are ...hope you never lose that part of your relationship & thx for making me laugh too!
Yes absolutely watch y’all and say I want a relationship/dynamic similar to what your marriage displays ❤
That's real and I can relate 😂😂😂😂
Thanks!
Homegirl came through with the vocals.
I watch you guys and value your authenticity and love how y’all argue/disagree it cracks me up bc it’s so cute and so REAL everyone has been sold a lie of an agreeable person vs an individual that complements you
But my friend said they had to stop watching bc their relationship doesn’t mimic yours as far as how you were joined together but I did tell them I think it’s a lie from hell bc everyone relationship doesn’t start out magical
Haha I be watching like “wow I want that/ look forward to it 😭” although y’all don’t plaster marriage as ALL glitz and glamour but y’alls partnership in life is refreshing 🥰!
AND I too have had to take a break from y’all and other YT couples bc it’s easy to get obsessive with something you want. I’m glad to be back tho 🫶🏽Love watching every week, God bless!
👋🏽Hey Henry’s, I’m single and I watch both channels and I do enjoy that it’s an authentic look into your lives and marriage. I think the podcast provides some perspective into your thoughts which is helpful as I navigate life and I can process my own thoughts on situations. I desire a family and partner that I can love and grow with and I know God will provide it in good time. Your channel is inspiring and encourages faith in the wait. It’s was a great reminder to hear y’all say keep the focus on God and the rest will come. 😂that last how married are you was real. 🤣🤣
Yvette your voice is so beautiful.
I am all here for that venue. It sounds like something really fun to do and get dressed up be sexy, but classy for the night or whatever time you make it. and a live podcast sounds super dope!!❤️❤️ At the same time, I’d definitely have to bring my son with me if I were going to go and I’d have to catch a flight. I know you’re not gonna plan it around me (lols), but I’m gonna be on vaca the first week of this July, so if it was after that’d be dope. 🥰🥰 Love Love Love the podcast and transparency. There were definitely some laughs in this one. Glenry’s HMAY. Lols. Love the description and completely visualize from that. Lols. Much Love.🥰🥰 Also as a Wedding Party member, I am of the single genre of people.🥰🥰
You guys are very much real 😂but I do want that kind of relationship
“You know what, that’s real” is HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣 the real colors of a relationship are beautiful though. I don’t idolize or want to imitate your marriage because my relationship has actually been getting better and better since we took a brief break and understood what we needed from each other. I do appreciate you guy’s relationship on the podcast though because it’s unfiltered and unrefined. I’m actually engaged, by the way as of our last anniversary November 28th. Plan on getting married next year
Yvette is in the comparison business man...each partner has their role... please lean in to that YH! Glen, you hang in there bro!
I regret starting this when I sat down for lunch 🙈🙈😄😄
I’m saying to myself “I can relate!!” 😅
I wouldn’t say I want what y’all have, but as someone who’s divorced, I do want some aspects. Moreso that you both work to hold the marriage together and I’ve never seen talk leave each other hanging
I’m married with kids and I see it as “now that’s real”
I watch you guys because I relate to you so much. I see so much of my relationship in you guys and, yeah I do think " I want that" because as you said. Its easy to idolize something you cant see all of. But really i love that evette motovates glenn. I do not mptovate my partner and i idolize that. But i also just relate a shitton
Oh that’s a good one
I watch these and I’m like this is good info for later on down the line😭but I don’t want to put in all that work and effort right now. Working through someone else’s emotions/ life at 24 I’m not feelin that especially since I just got out of a long term relationship I’m enjoying my space and independence I’m never really been single.. I’ve always been boy crazy. So it’s nice to be content with Jesus alone. I wanna stay in this space for a bit..
Found out this year that my granny actually did like cooking. She said she did it because she had a husband and 6 kids and she knew she had to and I was like dangg
What I get from watching y'all....that's the real deal right there!!!! 😉😜😆
23:09 It's comparison. What yall have vs what I don't have and want.
It’s real and I want it 😂❤
My husband loves those shoes.
I’m single and I have both reactions “That’s real” and “I want that” I don’t want to see only the good I like the whole picture.
I'm married with kids and I say " I get it"
Rant
Can we normalize that at some point being single for some years isn’t the it other people think it should be. You can do all the things and still be single not wanting to be. Then all of a sudden you are 40 or 50 and it never happens. You’re constantly working on yourself. You are building yourself. You come to a point of where you are no longer open. Where all you see now is what I want and where I’m going. The older I get the more certain things are off the table. I’m more and more set in my ways. I no longer have the energy or yearning for kids. I’m going through per-menopause. I don’t have such an eager drive to date or get to know new people.
I think we have to be honest and say that not everyone will find a partner. The dream and the want of marriage doesn’t come for everybody.
I will be your friend hahaha I really really really don't like to cook as a SAHM. 😅 I cook like two time per week.
Yesss I don’t like cooking!
So much to say, but l’ll have to relisten again later tonight because I want to make some other comments on the podcast. ❤ ya’ll!!🥰🥰
Maybe this has been brought up... IDK
Could Uzi be watching Lily pee and poop and mimicking those actions?
And I started watching because of the vulnerability of it ALL. Y'all are just relatable in showing the laughter, tears, pride, disagreements and definitely counseling... I like it here 🤷🏿♀️
I love my Hoka sneakers
❤❤❤
Glen why did you expose Yvette and her bleeding threats like that😂
Was spelling “Idolatry” intentional?
Married - Thats real
@24:57 Glen should have asked for a kiss, like Yvette does
@29:22 get em Glen!😂😂😂😂😂
it is not easy work!!!
what a great episode!!!!
Nah, I'm married and be like "yikes". Lol. Yall make me nervous sometimes by the way yall interact and the things yall say to/about each other. Lol 23:33
Nah, I wouldn't necessarily want to be like you on the parenting front - you too lax with disciplining the boys, but I watch this podcast because you talk a lot of sense and reality on the relationship front, especially Glen. Sorry for the mixed bag of reviews but I think you want honesty in our responses.
Glenn what????
Covetousness is idolatry. If the person is desiring to have Glen or Yvette for themselves it's idolatry. I don't believe the intense desire to be married in general is idolatry.
Wait what peeing in the trashcan 😮
For context I don’t think you guys do a good job taking care of Lilly 😂 I don’t feel like she gets near enough exercise , attention, quality food, or games /learning opportunities
A lot of people have dogs and their dogs lives are “at the owners convenience”
That’s why people say it’s just like a kid, of course a dog is easier bc they don’t inherently talk back like kids do so you may have more patience , less patience and you feel like you have more control and probably exercise that
I can see why the woman that wrote the letter might have to take a break not because you guys live a fairy tale life but because she wants to do life with someone and though you guys are detailed about the ups and downs of Marriage it’s where most singles prefer to be. Doing life honoring God and walking it out day by day.
I can relate to the part where she had to let go of a past relationship because of following a tug that God has placed on her heart and this message is so timely. I too was idolizing marriage wanting it more that that relationship came before being obedient to God and the things I knew where not good for me.
I’m on the other side of it now and healing ❤️🩹
If I can encourage the woman that wrote the letter and tell her what I tell myself, As long as you are putting God first in all areas of your life you are exactly where you need to be even if it’s not how you pictured it.
Thanks for sharing this podcast. PS the ending was hilarious 🤣
I want something like what you guys have! lol I think that you guys give REAL depiction of marriage. You don't leave me thinking it's all roses and sunshine, but having the life partner, those chocolate babies (even tho they poop on the carpet lol), and seeing you guys evolve and continue to show up for each other... 🥹❤ *insert slow applause here*. Having gone through a toxic relationship, yes, you guys are goals lol. 🎉😊
❤❤❤
