- i just had to dedicate a video to this story. i'm still surprised that two loners like us have actually made it to come together. and now everything just couldn't feel more right. i would have never believed that it's possible to love so deeply, that it almost hurts... i hope you enjoy our story. ♥

“I always liked being alone. Now we are alone, together’. Bless them. How it should be. 👏🏻
Never a good idea to place all of your support and social life on your partner, always best to have a support network of friends just case they split up...
@@gaiaevalynlove7901 Agreed. However, I think the point is, they were already happy being alone, which is healthy. It’s now interdependence, not dependence.
'We are alone together'... can they be any sweeter?
Is this too much to ask? 😫😫
Seriously!
The most beautiful word it's rly deep
I love how you are talking to each other more than just telling us the story of how you two met. It feels like watching a very personal and intimate moment and made me almost tear up because I feel a lot like you did back then, Leena :) I am so happy that you two found each other and it gives hope that "there is something else out there"
i'm so glad to hear that! ❤️
Oh my gosh, I wrote my comment and then just happened to read the one just below it - yours - and your first two sentences were almost the identical to mine!
@@LeenaHenningsen - Such a touching Heartfelt journey ... Truly meant to be. Josh Garrels certainly has The Way with words doesn't he? Have you heard his song entitled 'Born Again' ... about The Heartfelt journey home? His Children will always be Sojourners here, looking to fit-in, 'Until' ...
@@evec3832 Haha same!
Exactly!! :)
The most touching part of your story was not told in words. It was seen as Joachim pulled your chair along side of his. Life, side by side.
❤️😊
It's nice to see how love is suppose to be between two people. Very beautiful to see the love between them. You make me smile and feel good.
Oh Leena, I'm so touched by your story. I really had to laugh, because I'm pretty sure I was 'the someone' asking you, if Joachim was you boyfriend. I remember sitting on a table with Tina right after you left again when she asked "Im wondering if Leena and Joachim are a couple. I was like "well.. I asked her". You said ''well, I don't know, but I think so. We don't have to define''. Tina was dancing around the whole evening just being sooo happy for you both. The joy I saw in her eyes this day and us talking about this was one of the most beautiful memories of my summer in dreamvalley and definitely one of the most joyful memories I shared with Tina ❤️
ohhh, it was you!!! of course, i remember… 😀❤️ thank you also so much for sharing this story, it touched me very deeply... just imagining tina like that. ❤️sending lots of love to you!
@@LeenaHenningsen ❤️
OMG, I'm almost 62 yrs. old and this young love story has really touched my heart. There's nothing like that young love, hang onto it for the rest of your lives if you can. No other will compare. No not one.
You know what I love? That you're open to watching the stories of a different generation. I'm closer to your age, so it's nice to see someone else that's not a millennial on here!
@@cinziam457 Yes, we can learn from the younger generation as well as them learning from us.
"And suddenly we had a house, a car and a dog !!!" Hi Leena and Joachim. Joachim and Leena, thank you for this story. So good to hear Joachim speak !! He has a voice. So wonderful how the universe works, isn't it? You never know when it is going to give you something you did not expect. And look at you both now !! Amazing.
It's not "the universe".
It's God.
@@lepee5830 I knew that. When you don't know someone's religious views, sometimes other terminology is best. Thank you for your critique. But it was not necessary.
The Universe gave me multiple sclerosis two years ago, I live in Cambodia but I'm Italian. I was in two hospitals then a Christian center and now a Khmer family. A few months ago, I got so depressed all I could think about was how to kill myself. I just couldn't understant why the Universe would do something like that to someone who had been praying on a daily basis, chanting mantras, no drugs, alcohol and I'm vegan. I was even doing the laundry and cleaning the house with home made biological products to avoid pollution. Boiling water to drink to avoid plastic waste (plastic is a huge problem in Asia). Then, the Universe showed me my dark side, I hated greedy people and those who were destroying everything and everyone because of their greed. The Universe showed me to have compassion for those people because my hatred created darkness instead of light. Now, I'm trying to heal my heart and mind by filling my entire being with love and life. The Universe showed me how impatient I used to be with people who haven't made the connection and are still sleepwalking. This young couple in the video is already enlightened, I'm only starting to understand things now: everything is indeed Divine, who am I to judge?
My favorite part was "suddenly we had a house, a car, and a dog" - so wonderful, thanks for sharing your story.
Your story is better than “The notebook”! It is the perfect love story that you see in the movies, but it is real!!! ❤️
😀❤️
I definitly agree, lots of love for U!! 🤠🎈🙏
I thought the same
The cutest thing about you two is that it feels like you know each other since many years and at the same time it looks like it’s your first date. Just based on how you smile at each other. So sweet!! ❤️
Love that you two are so generously
inviting us in to your lives ❤ Thank you for sharing the story about how you two met 🥰
I don't think I have ever seen a cuter couple before... It looks like what exists between the two of you is the purest mix of friendship and love. No acting, no fake facades, no disguising your feelings... just sincere and down-to-earth love. Thanks so much to the both of you for sharing this beautiful story of yours.
You two are the cutest most genuine and humble couple I have ever seen.
It really does not happen very often that people from all over the world are sitting in front of their screens, smiling "over both ears" (some german english here... ) and feeling their hearts jumping from joy because some strangers are telling their love story. But you made this happen, i swear! This was so beautiful to watch and listen to, and how you are looking in eachothers eyes, it really touched my heart. It's just beautiful to see and hear that these miracles are still happening. The magic is not lost, people like you keep in in our world. Thank you so, so, so much!!! Have a great weekend and enjoy! Best wishes from Germany.
This was 15 minutes of straigh silent crying for me. Such a beautiful story, and also beautifully told.
Thank you for sharing❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Yes
"Love at first sight and then you wait four years." 😂
❤️
I was so excited to watch that I forgot to close the gate of my cows first... They wanna send you a greeting and thank you for the short little trip to the hay supply you've enabled them to do 🐂❤️😄
I almost forgot my spaghetti on the stove because I lost myself in the story 😅
@@MichelleCleve Haha 😄❤️
haha oh no! 😂 but i’m very gladly responsible for a little treat for your wonderful cow friends. sending warm wishes back to you all. ❤️
Wow, guys! This is what I want or else nothing. Sadly, I get accused all the time of being 'idealistic and perfectionist'. But then I hear stories like yours and I know it's possible and I know that there's no point in 'compromising'.
Same here❤️🤧
Do not give up!
Do not listen to others!
This feels so honest in every direction. How you talk to each other, how you looking at each other. It is just a true and honest relationship what everyone can feel watching this conversation. This makes you guys „rich“. Luckily this is another form of being rich. But believe me, it is the best version of being rich in this world. Because you guys just feel your relationship every single moment.
It’s true that all the money in the world cannot buy you genuine peace and happiness. Think sadly most of us are missing that 💯 fact.
This made me cry. How beautiful to see that a love like this can exist💜
This was hilarious, lovely and very sweet. 'Nope, but that wasn't it either... or that... or that time!'. What a lovely couple. Hope you have a long and happy life together.
You are such a wonderful couple. May you have many years of happiness together!
thank you ❤️
This really reminds me of how my husband and I met. As friends and instant soulmates above and beyond the normal rituals of dating and flirting. It really was a meeting of mind and spirit that made me feel like I'd come home. We moved in together into a big shared house on the day we met and have been together ever since . 25 years now. You are soulmates too. It is crystal clear that you are forever.
Can't say anything else now, just these words " I LOVE YOU GUYS...."
This is truly Northern Passion in its origin. Are you two aware of that? Natural mutual respect, not stepping over boundaries, independent, being cautious of too overwelming closeness and then share a place in the woods together, self-sufficiant, sincere.
I loved the way Joachim was ‘beaming love from his heart and smile’ when you described “gathering all your courage” to tell him that “he means a lot to your heart.” Watching him hear you retell those words, was like seeing his whole world and heart open up, and expand into the possibility of being loved by you. Still blown away at the art and magic created by the retelling of this story. Thank you for your courage (from La coeur - the ♥️), to put it out there. Wishing you all the best. 😘
"I always felt kind of trapped, and really uncomfortable, in relationships but at the same time, I always had the belief that something else just exists out there" - This speaks to me on a really important level. I think I needed to hear someone else say it. Thank you.
Edit: 15 minutes in and I'm crying for some reason haha. I think you guys just give me hope and the care and compassion you have for each other is so, so special.
I looks like they are both so reserved and introverted , shy ...and very talented people
I love the mutual respect and admiration you have for each other. I feel someone you love, should also be someone you LIKE as well. Someone who challenges you, to be the best version of yourself. I see that in the two of you. Thank you for sharing your hearts with us, even though your videos always depicted what we already knew. ❤️
Such a dreamy story. To find someone to be alone with together sounds like the best thing in the world. Envious but so happy for you at the same time :)
You two are some very Special soulmates. There is No other way for this to happen. I Not only know about soulmates, I work as a soulmates coach, not all the couples get together so easily. Really happy for you, congratulations
This is definitely one of the most incredible stories of love I’ve heard, it is so simple and sincere, just beautiful! May you always have a relationship full of love and magic!
Aaaawwwww, the three of you are so sweet together 🥰. “ Every time you looked at me, I had to look away. Still do.......” 🤣💜🥰 “ You are important to my heart” Aaaaaawwwwwwwww🤗💜. That reminds me of a sweet note my hubby gave me, many anniversaries ago. He gave me a silver heart necklace, and a note that said “You still have my heart”. The necklace is long gone(I’m horrible with jewelry), but the note is in a small frame on my bedside table, and is one of the most treasured pieces of paper I have 💜. You two survived the first few months of a new relationship together in a small van, yep, I think you’re meant to be 🥰. The way you describe your story, reminds me so much of my hubby and me. We’ve been together for 36 years now, and we still have each other’s heart
wow your energy is so beautiful, sometimes i lose hope in these kind of connections but you two show that it is possible
All about this video is abolutely beutiful. The both of you talking to each other, instead of just telling the story, the story itself, the end of the video...all amazing. You are beauriful souls and you look wonderful together.
Leena and Joachim, you give me hope! Alone together: so lovely. I also found it wonderful when Joachim said it was love at first sight, then you both waited 4 years. Truly beautiful.
“Love at first sight...and then we waited.” ❤️❤️ So glad you found each other and are “alone together.” What a sweet story - thank you for sharing your hearts!
I literally had tears in my eyes. Listening to a love so peaceful. I never had experienced love before. But this gives me the feeling of bliss that can be nurtured amidst such fake and frail notions of affection. Oh, I would thank both of you, and save this video for future.
Best wishes for future ahead.
-Zeeshan.
You are both so lovely and your meeting and evolving relationship is, in a sense, a good example of how to build a strong bond because you both took a long time to learn about each other instead of jumping in blindly as most of us do. Thanks also for the opening scene with the snowy forests of Norway--I love snow, but unfortunately we hardly ever get any in Vancouver. I think the opening scene of the beautiful landscape is symbolic of your lovely relationship!
This is the sweetest love story !!!! I am so moved by your relationship. Why am I crying? lol This is by far my favorite video you've ever done.
Ich kann nicht aufhören zu grinsen, es ist so schön zu sehen, wie ihr zwei da sitzt, völlig beseelt von der Anwesenheit des anderen. Ich kann mich noch gut erinnern, wie ich mit Tina scherzte, dass ihr zwei gut zusammenpassen würdet. Dass unsere Gedankenspinnerei einmal Realität werden würde hat zu dem Zeitpunkt jedoch keiner von uns geahnt. Ich freu mich wirklich sehr für euch!
Liebe Grüße, Theresa
What a beautiful story, I can see you both tell this same story 50 years from now...just so lovely.
Was für eine wundervolle Geschichte von euch beiden. Nicht gesucht und doch gefunden. 😊❤❤❤😊
Vielen lieben Dank euch für dieses tolle Video. Ich kam heute depressiv aus meiner Therapiestunde. Aber sobald die Bilder von eurem Zuhause über meinen Bildschirm flimmerten, kehrte bei mir das Lächeln zurück und ich konnte die negativen Gedanken wegschieben. Auch eine gute Therapiemöglichkeit. Ich sende euch beiden viele liebe Grüße in den Norden. Lebt euren Traum. Und vielen Dank, dass wir hier alle daran teilhaben dürfen. Tusen takk. 😊😊😊
Joachim has a lovely smile and face. Thank you for sharing, how you two met.
This is a BEAUTIFUL HEART WARMING TOUCHING LOVE STORY.! I am a bit teary eyed , SUCH a BLESSING to view in this OVERWHELMING EVIL SAD WORLD at this time . Appreciate you guys VERY much ! God bless ❤️🙏👍
I'm so glad you found each other. All the best from Sweden :D
Ach schön, danke fürs teilen. Habe während des ganzen Videos lächeln müssen. Man freut sich einfach für euch mit beim zuschauen. 😊
Just two pieces of the same soul.
Greetings from Argentina! thank you for sharing your life and beautiful art with all of us.
I can’t tell you enough times how much I loved hearing your story. Makes me want to write a song for the two of you!! You were meant to be all along. Two nature-lovers and artists not even looking for one another but found each other anyway! 🥺🙏😍
This simple love story gave me some deep healing I didn’t know I needed!
Thank you both!
Wow, I think you guys are really made for each other. :)
I think it's the nicest "how we met" story I've ever heard.
Beautiful to see two young souls so in love. You truly belong together.
The way you talk to each other. The way you look at each other and how you laugh together. That's just so amazing..wish you both just the best in life. ❤️
Such a lovely story 😭😭 It’s amazing how y’all found each other ❤️
“It was just different” omg 🥺❤️
Ihr zwei seid so zauberhaft, ich habe euch gestern hier auf CZcams entdeckt und bin sehr berührt von eurer Geschichte, den wundervollen Bildern aus der Natur Norwegens, deiner Arbeit Leena, eurer Art zu leben. Soo soo schön!! Ein Lichtblick in der jetzigen Zeit, so friedvoll und inspirierend!!🙏💖💫
Love how calming and serene these videos are.
Aww, this was wonderful!! You remind me of both sets of my grandparents, who had very succesful marriages and build a life together, managed to get through hard times supporting each other and having common goals. I hope one day I'll be as lucky as you guys in finding someone who understands and complete me so we can be alone together. God bless! ^____^
I think this is the most wholesome video I watched...ever ❤
I was watching CZcams and came across your story. I was so touched by it. I am a grandmother and know the struggles life cannot prepare you for. But somewhere, somehow the universe steps in and makes things right, if you are open and accepting. Your story is wonderful, and hope you both thrive in all your endeavors. Leena you really need to make meditation tapes, your voice is like an angel, soothing, reassuring and restful for someone who is restless. Please really give it some thought.
It's so refreshing to see this kind of creative photography and editing , construction in your videos - different from so many creators.
This guy takes respect and consent to a whole new level! ❤️❤️
If only all men were like him! ❤️
What's wrong with swedish men,Sara?
@@tinaasjatinaasja7448
Why do you think there's something wrong with Swedish men in particular?
@@attesmatte your last sentence...It's like you disappointed in men.
Wow, this video is literally the definition of heartwarming... Nothing else I can say.
Their love is like falling asleep: Slowly and then all at once.
Unbelievably romantic. I am blown away. Thank you ..... I took notes ♥️♥️♥️
Just.. Beautiful!❤️
Only yesterday did I stumble upon your "New Beginning" episode. I enjoyed it very much! It was so well done that I looked back at your older ones and found this.
I am in an area of the US called New England, where there is currently a blizzard going on outside. Here it is called a Nor'easter because the storm and winds are coming in from the northeast.
Although I am sitting here all alone, I am smiling watching your two beautiful souls.
Thank you for sharing your heart-warming story. You are both sooooooooooo sweet
What I learned from this video:
Don't search for love. Love should always happen on its own. That is perfect and gentle. Keep doing and enjoying your everyday life. if it's meant to be, it will. If it's not, there will always be something amazing out there. Alone doesn't necessarily mean lonely.
Thank you for such an wonderful video.🧡❤❤🧡
(Note: Here, I meant love as a life partner)
Aw this was just the most beautiful bedtime story to have tonight :)) you two are beautiful and glowing together. Sending love
You two are adorable, soul mates for sure!💗 You two remind me of my husband and I, the way you look at each other, the light in your eyes and you can just see the overflowing love!So happy there's happy people in this wonderful world!🥰😊
This was my favorite video you’ve done so far. I love all your stories, the music is so calming and the images inspiriting. Thank you so much, you made my day. 🥰
Was für eine wundervolle Liebesgeschichte. Ich wünsche euch beiden das Beste für euren gemeinsamen Lebensweg :) Danke für dieses Video, ihr seid eine große Inspiration. Liebe Grüße aus Hannover :)
Yours is a beautiful love story. There is something so calming about the two of you. So soft spoken and gentle. Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️
I love that story so much and I love the telling of it equally as much. How lovely that it unfolded slowly and not such a whirlwind that the spark burns itself out into nothing. 🔥❤
You guys are perfect together. You were very open sharing your experiences.
Ohhhhh this is the cutest, delicate, most precious "how we met" story. Thank you for sharing it with us!! 😍❤️
"Totally Alone Together", I don't think I have ever heard it described better or more accurately......... Bless you both....
The Most wholesome Love story I ever heard
Both of you are so sincere. It's amazing! The thing that you used to felt depressed, but than changed that, found each other, became so happy and calm is inspiring me! Thank you for this unique atmosphere and great feelings.
this was so adorable and so sweet and ahh!!! i hope one day to have a tale like this. sometimes i'm so lonely and independent that i think i'll end up alone, and yet recently i keep daydreaming of someone that i'll meet. i don't think it's hopeless wishing, i think it's a sign that i'm on the right path. (i recently told my friend i like that i liked him but it wasn't mutual. we are still good friends!! and it was a good thing for me to finally admit to it and be able to let that go and move forward with my life.)
you guys are just living such a dream.
"I never really had a moment where I was like 'I need some space' or something. Never."
Tatsächlich ist das auch der Grund bei mir gewesen, warum ich 25 Jahre lang keine Beziehung eingehen konnte, weil ich mich immer ab irgendeinen Punkt eingeschränkt von dem anderen gefühlt habe und ich auch unheimlich gerne alleine für mich bin und Raum und Zeit für meine Gedanken habe.
Und dann habe ich nach 25 Jahren jemanden in Norwegen kennengelernt, bei dem ich mich einfach Zuhause fühle. Bei dem ich Ich sein kann. Zur Ruhe kommen. Für mich sein, obwohl er anwesend ist. Alles sagen und mitteilen kann und einfach nur verstanden werde, auch wenn ich mal nichts sagen. Dass man sich fühlt und versteht auf einer Ebene, die man manchmal nicht erklären kann.
Sowas sehe ich bei euch auch und es wärmt mein Herz zu sehen, was ihr daraus gemacht habt ❤️ Alles Gute euch
I love how you said you are alone together. I can only hope to find that. ❤️
"Alone...together!" Perfection! Remember, it takes time for fruit to ripen, as do relationships.
I absolutely loved hearing your story! It makes me feel so hopeful too haha because I'm also extremely slow and cautious about relationships 😅 But I guess good things often take time.
It sounds sooo right! Almost like a story, you should write a book, fiction or not just a romance novel and what better place to set the story than Norway! Gorgeous, and I'm so happy its actually your reality and yours alone. I wish you a lot of loneliness together.
You are sooooo adorable together! ❤ How you interact and look at each other... lovely! I can totally relate to your story myself and I know the feeling of being alone together - amazing! 😍
This is so beautiful ♥ I love how Joachim pulled your chair close to his and you two enjoyed 'being alone together' in front of the fire ♥ ♥ ♥ Wishing you both all the best - and THANK YOU for finally telling us how you guys met :D I've been wondering for a while :D LOL
You two are wonderful and lovely together and you can see that it is meant to be. I'm happy for you :)
I love hearing your story. So beautiful and so precious!
You mention that you both went through periods of darkness and depression and I am curious as to how you got out of that space and into this light and peaceful state that you're both in now. :-)
That was so beautiful, made me smile and laugh the whole way through. I pray that I can find the love and connection you share. I too am very introverted and independent. I always worry that because of this I won't find someone. I had an abusive relationship in the past so I've been single for a few years now. But I just turned 27 and everyone around me is getting married and having babies with their long term partners and I'm starting to feel afraid that I'll never find someone who I share a deep connection with :(
I am bored in Sweden but right now I am living in Germany and I miss being in Sweden, it's a long time that I was there because of corona! Thank you so much for this wonderful Video!
This was so beautiful to watch! You could feel through the screen how much love and respect you two have for each other! Just beautiful to watch😍
"Suddenly everything was right"... wow, I like that👍
What a pleasant surprise! I wasn't expecting a video like this but it was so lovely hearing about how your relationship started out! I keep smiling without knowing it from how sweet this is and catching myself lol It'd be amazing to get a house tour video one day perhaps!
The way you are talking about your relationship is just so beautyful! I feel like in society there is often so much pressure and many rules when it comes to relationships. The way you talk about still feeling free and respect each others boundries makes me very emotional. I wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing your story!
Wow, danke, dass ihr beiden das mit uns geteilt habt, was für eine schöne und herzerwärmende Geschichte! ich freue mich so sehr mit euch beiden! Man spürt die Liebe förmlich durch das Video und ich hatte ein ganz warmes und zufriedenes Gefühl während ich euch zuhören durfte ❤️❤️❤️ Vielen Dank dafür!
I cried... that says it all. You are magical, both so independent + pure... I feel like i love u both... Sending u a BIG healthy hug
Aww, this is so beautiful and inspiring. How you said: meant to be ❣
This is so beautiful, promising and grounding. Thank you for sharing!
"It was just right ..." , so wonderful & heartwarming & honest (courageous) episode I can totally relate to (because also my wife and I had a not so totally usual coming together story quite looong time ago ;) - thanks for sharing, keep on keepin' on ... Ganz liebe Grüße aus Österreich M.
