I generally love the show, but I am frustrated with one point that I have seen a couple of times. Whenever a couple is co-sleeping, the solution is always to separate the baby and move it out of the parents bed. I would like for Gary to provide these parents with information on how to combine co-sleeping with a healthy sex life. I and many of my friends do this quite successfully (hubby and I are on baby #4 - it didn't happen by itself!). I would say that the two most common methods is being creative with location, and having a side sleeper available for baby on the Mom's side. There are many other solutions out there though...

Having the baby cry it out to be in their own room is very typical of our society, but there are many societies where co-sleeping is the norm, and most people doing it have made a conscious decision that it is important to their parenting philosophy. I am not convinced that perpetuating the idea that it is the husband or the baby is a healthy solution in the long term.

Hi Gary
I loved the episode with Lindsay & Brant. It was great to see how Brant transformed! Who was the Hypnotist on the show? Is she in Toronto? I missed her name on the show. Can you give me her contact info?

I am 22 years old my husband is 21 and we have never lived together before and have no baby, we fight a lot, have words a lot and have struggled a lot and I have had many older, wiser ppl comment on the fact that we are so young (what were we thinking) but I am confident that nothing is worth doing without a struggle. I love newlywed nearly dead but what are these ppl thinking when they get in fights about rolled up soaks or sloppy appearance. Try endearing tours in Afghanistan, disapproving parents and scrapping by to feed ourselves. Then maybe these ppl will have something to complain about.
Cherish every second you get with the person you love, no one is perfect and you never want to live life wondering if you`ll ever see them again.

Just watched Stephanie and Justin. Stephanie, honey, you are a beautiful and intelligent woman. I was in your place-feeling so beaten down. I could not understand how someone could be sooo mean. It was the hardest time of my life, and the most difficult was leaving. Three years later my life is spectacular and with a partner who is respectful, loving, inteliigent, mature. Leave that horribly abusive non-deserving guy today! If you want to chat, email me emandeli1@yahoo.ca You deserve better!!

Oh, and thank you Gary for pointing Justin's abusive behaviour out. We need to speak openly about abusive behaviour and stop discounting it- ie/just a person being funny. Thank you!

I watched an episode of NWND about a couple of weeks ago - The Tates. I have looked for their episode on this website so I could leave a comment however could not find them. I usualy do not leave comments about my opinion in other people lives, but after watching that episode of this fine program I am driven to express myself on what I witnessed. I felt so bad for Erin when her husband was acting like an idiot at the furniture store, I so wanted to hug her and buy the dang table for her myself. As if he would say that to her, amking her feel so down and not want to buy a gift for his family. A dinning table is something that should not be asked for, but is a given with a family. I am a single 34 year old man who is financially succsessful, career oriented, in good shape/health but cannot seem to find a girl that I connect with (for a marriage). I always see situations like this marriage where a guy like David (I think is his name) does not at all deserve or appreiciate Erin. She is very pretty for starters, totally out of Davids league (and probably mine for that matter), I adored her cute diples and the fact she seemed to always be smiling. I do not at all believe she is bossy - at all! In the episode David was sitting around in the kitchen (eating), taking his sweet ass time, "loafing" while they were supposed to go out and by THEIR family a nice dinning table - she just wanted to go already - she was excited, could he not see that!??. I would love to be with(from what I seen of Erin on your show, Gary) a wife who is attractive as Erin, dedicated to her family. She deserves a man that at least, at the very least cares for her, the baby and the great life god has given him. I never seen him once hold the , care or attend to the baby in your show - he didn't even smile or show the body language of someone who is in love and starting a new family with a beautiful wife. That's the way I see it. Instead of me sitting at home alone, I would have loved to have spent my day with Erin buying a new table for our new family in our new house. I would have be happy and content - the reward: a new table to share with my family and a happy wife. I dont think David is a jerk I just truthfully do not believe he loves his marriage and his wife like she deserves to be. Gary, you should set up a dating service to meet these couples who eventually break up hahaha! I would love a chance to meet Erin if things dont work out with her marriage.
If there is any feedback I would enjoying hearing from you thanks, Jamie Buckingham

Great show! Too late for my marriage, but would love to submit a young couple's name (engaged & cohabitating for 3yrs) who are having a rocky time and have postponed their wedding once already. Too bad they don't meet the 'newlywed' criteria though :-(

I just watched the show about the man that snored and the woman that drove the car fast with the baby in the car.

I wonder if anyone has thought of a sleep doctor for that man because I think he has sleep apnea and needs a C-PAP machine .

We watch your program on Skye.IT and love you and the program. Now, when we find ourselves irritating one another the buzz word is "Mr Canada" would want you to think about that. I know your name is Gary .... we thank you for making irritating things go away.

Oh...today is our 31st anniversary.

Tip...we have a no fighting house. We have to take stuff outside. There is a bench in town where we can walk to and discuss the issue privately. Lots of the steam dissipates during the walk.

I watch Tori (Spelling) and Dean. If anyone needs saving, I believe it's them. They're a great couple going bAD. Too bad Gary can't do a show with them. They are in SOS.

Wow! Just saw the best episode. Kirsten & Nathan. I was in shock how the episode turned. I would love to know what the real issue was. I'm still in shock. Happy to hear she left. WOW...

Hi Gary,

I love watching your show weekly, but I have to say I am disappointed with the show's decision to show the married couple with the soldier whom returned home from Afghanistan 8 weeks prior to doing the show.

There is so much that goes on with reintegration following a deployment with soldiers, couples etc. Watching the show, I just found myself wondering whether full assessments were truly done on these individuals.

It was so clear to me from the show that the guy was struggling with adjusting to life post deployment on so many levels. Developing an addiction to porn/ sex addiction is very common among soldiers as it's a means to get the adrenaline high they get in combat. It's definitely not appropriate behavior if it upsets your partner. I just hope that this episode is not going to bring so much negativity to both individuals that they will get caught up in their anger and ignore the fact that they need individual counselling/therapy.

How do you select your couples? I know a couple that really, really, really use your help!

I cannot believe some of these couples film their spouse on the toilet or in the shower. I would consider THAT a problem in itself.
Do any of these people lose their jobs or have problems finding employment after being on this show?

Hey Gary!

I love watching your show and have been a faithful viewer since episode 1!

What ever happened to Kirsten and Nathan? Whats the deal with his secret elephant that nobody shared? I was shocked to see the ending results of her leaving him. I hope she is doing ok.
