In this episode, we talk about how TikTok thinks we're getting divorced because of a TikTok we released about how much sugar we let Griffin have, Abby's terrible road trip experience & our, let's just say, eventful first flight with our newborn.

    I was actually just thinking while watching this episode that Abby is looking much happier and more settled than she has in probably the last year or so. It's really great to see
  • @callmejoeben
    I cried at the part where Abby talks about how much she loves getting to see different versions of Matt in different stages of life. I yearn for something like this in my life and I’m so happy you guys have this together. Wish you guys all the best. I appreciate you sharing this with us.
  • @soph7156
    I think it’s awful how negative people have been about you two. No one understands a relationship except the two involved and really no one should judge in any rude way. It’s uncalled for especially since the two of you don’t share everything for obvious reasons. Sending support ❤

    Abby, pelvic floor physical therapy can help and doesn't have to be invasive. I went to one at a physical therapist in a clinic and she didn't even need to do a physical exam. She just showed me exercises and she did touch my crouch area, but it was over my clothes. It was just to feel the movement from the exercises. It can really help if you are suffering from incontinence. It can also prevent your uterus from prolapsing when you're older.

    Abby never be ashamed of your mom's instinct. It is NORMAL and GOOD. This season of your life where it seems everyone is jealous of your mind being on the babies is temporary. As they grow older you will be able to fully focus on yourself and your other relationships more.
  • @TheGlowingqueen
    The Thankfulness and Sincere Gratefulness Abby showed towards Matt had me in tears as well. So Beautiful. Obviously they are not getting a divorce. There is true commitment there.
  • @Smallb55
    Matt & Abby communicate so well! I love this podcast because it can show so many people how to communicate your feelings in a healthy way. Marriage and life isn't always rainbows snd butterflies and I think Matt & Abby show a really great way to get through those hard moments.

    My husband and I have been married for 21yrs and our kids are ages 20,18, and 16. The most beautiful part of marriage; is learning to love the new versions of each other as you go through life. I believe having children forever changes us, but other major life events do also. The death of a close loved one, loss of job, traumatic injury of a spouse or ourselves. It's okay though. It's meant to be that way. We find each other and fight for our partner through all of life's ups and downs. That is both beauty, pain, and triumph. It's the reason something deep inside us feels moved when we see an elderly couple still holding hands and loving each other. That is a lifetime of conscious perseverance speaking for itself. BTW I LOVE your podcast and it's the only one I watch every episode of. Thank you!

    I just have to say...that is a beautiful sweater on you, Abby. Sometimes the simple things bring out more of our beauty. This is one of your times ❤
  • Very cool that there’s going to be a podcast with Jess and Gabe! Looking forward to that one!
  • @Hannahfooter
    Thank you guys for being so honest about your struggles! It is so easy to think that you are the only one struggling and to see that other people are struggling with someone of the same things is such a gift.
  • They’re such a normal HEALTHY Couple. Ppl have seen too many filtered relationships online and thing they’re so toxic and they’re just not. I think they’re just real and it’s REFRESHING. I’m so tired of seeing perfect people all the time.
  • @VidushiSaini
    Am I the only one excited about their Collab with Jess and Gabe next week ? 😲 finally ! The best people collabing with more 'best people' ❤️✨
  • Communication in a marriage is key. It's beautiful. You communicate often, and this will help you. Block out the miserable people.
  • @ClauNazepam
    Matt and Abby, I appreciate you guys so much. I’ve been in a relationship for 6 years and my friends in 2-3 month relationships always seem concerned that we have fights sometimes and that we aren’t totally infatuated with each other anymore. You guys make me feel normal, love is so much more than butterflies in your stomach.
  • I'm so happy you talked about the Santa topic! I have also really wondered about introducing Santa to my baby. I remember my parents having the Santa tradition, but always just keeping the spotlight on what the holiday actually means. Like yeah, Santa is there, but he's not the reason we celebrate Christmas. Then reminding us that Jesus was born and celebrating our faith is the largest part of Christmas. So, when we found out Santa wasn't real, it was like oh okay, that's fine at least we can still celebrate the fact that Jesus was born and we'll be able to see him again someday. 🥰
  • This podcast and Jess and Gabe’s pod cast are my two favorite! I’m so excited
  • Everything about your videos makes me want to watch more! Everything you say is so relatable and honest, thank you for being here and sharing stories with us ❤️
  • @averym8966
    I totally relate to what Abby was saying about becoming a mom and feeling so distracted when you're away from your kids.
