Our MOST asked QUESTIONS

[@solanasimon9882]

They are so calm and respectful of each other. Basis of a good marriage. Erin is a great home maker. Not to mention Chad, jack of all trades, and good at all of them. I really enjoy watching them.

[@TrustandobeyGod]

I love how you are using a book with the questions instead of your phone, how you guys don't have a tv and how you are having your kids grow up with animals!! You both are great examples to follow. Keep trusting and obeying God, it is evident in your lives. Happy New Year!

[@hollyhawk1492]

You two are so genuine and are a good example of a Christian couple. You are younger than my husband and I but I learn so much from you. I’m working on my patience with my husband and my kids. 😊

[@ellenmycyk9883]

"Each other is not the enemy, they are a team working towards a common goal" very impactful statement and so so important in creating a supportive and loving home life. Very moving, couldn't agree more.

[@nickiehines5319]

They love with Grace .. They denounced IBLP and Gothard Homeschooling. They follow Gods word. I respect Chad when he said not enough men cherish their wives taking their vows seriously so true . what a blessing the children are being raised by loving parents.

[@LuLuDavis65]

We raised our kids without TV and I don’t know how we would’ve had time to watch. Later I was able to watch you all from the UP Faith and Family app. I see so many people let the screen be their babysitters and that’s all my nephew knows. It breaks my heart. He’s 12 and still can’t ride a bike. You all are awesome parents! I enjoy your show and I’m glad that you have this channel on You Tube!! God bless you all!!

[@rzpotts4]

You both are very wise and balanced, how fortunate your children are to have such a great example to learn from. Happy new year.

[@sheriturner6118]

You two are the sweetest and gentle people. I feel like if I met you in person i would find you to be exactly what i see in your videos. Having parents that modeled what marriage is, is a good thing in having one for one's own marriage. Yall have a wonderful marriage and family. And I just see so many blessings from your life.

[@karenminckler4198]

My husband and I were married for 32 years but together for 35 years and never really fought. Not until he got dementia. Then I felt bad but raised my voice quite a few times. What helped us was we both pretty much liked the same things. I love watching your videos. You are a beautiful couple.

[@mokihanabarnes6546]

You two are what most people strive to be. Thank you Chad and Erin. Very beautiful family. May God bless us all in our New Year to come

[@kathystewart3873]

Such incredibly kind and warm hearted people!

[@nedrarobertson4171]

Thanks for sharing. I'm a new viewer and love your channel. I'm 52yrs old and wish I had been brought up with your values.

[@marlasturgill8306]

You guys are still sweet as ever! I can believe that you’ve never had a argument or fight... Just how you two talk with one another and it’s just so sweet!

[@KatieB-qv5jl]

I see the love y’all have for each other by the way y’all look at each other! Truly a blessing. Love yalls family!

[@teresaspringer4129]

The respect you have for each other that is another reason you don’t fight. Love seeing your sweet family

[@jenaemarieAZ]

I was thinking the same thing! It’s obvious the deep love they share with one another. What a lovely example for the rest of us.

[@galeprivett5180]

So glad to hear that you share duties, like mowing, and cooking and things like that, it’s awesome.

[@hannahceline8978]

One thing I wonder is, how do you raise your kiddos to live in the love and gentleness and kindness of Christ so beautifully and homeschool? What are your parenting methods? I've been a nanny/babysitter for several years and I've seen so many families where the kids are just constantly doing negative things for negative attention. My husband and I hope to start a family be it God's will in the spring, and I am eager to hear about all the ways you can set your kids up for love and gentleness and the fruit of the Spirit to overflow in the home.

[@ga6589]

Generally speaking, children will give back what they are receiving. If it’s continual negativity and strife, that’s what is reflected back to the parents.

[@debj4life478]

Thanks so much for sharing. Stay as sweet as you both are. By putting God first in your marriage your marriage will last a lifetime. Our 50th anniversary was Christmas Eve. Much love and blessings sweet family.

[@chocolatechipcookieface3668]

I’ve always struggled with being able to put on paper what’s thought in my mind. The best way I can describe you two as is a fairytale. I know nobodies perfect but I do believe god creates humans like you two to show us is not as hard to strive to be god like. The talents you two share between y’all are amazing. Chad was put here to build a community of all sorts of phenomenal things while Erin nurtures the entire community to flourish.

[@lanatrapp1589]

Katie is going to know what she's going to look like in 10 years. You both are gorgeous.

[@joanharris8057]

I like how you said you are a team! That is one secrets of a happy marriage. When you get married, you are to be a helpmate for each other. It takes effort but it is so worth it.

[@mamatofive1]

I loved this! We are the same with arguing/fighting...I don't even say it often because it seems too good to be true. Haha! But really, I think we've had two or three arguments in our 13 years of marriage. We disagree sometimes, but we talk it out, or give each other some space, and there's no raised voices. We respect and love each other, and don't expect the other to always agree!

[@lesliemcguire9664]

Such a beautiful couple, so faith centered and loving, respectful of each other. Your very soon to be 5 babies are blessed to being raised in your home!!! Love your family. Keep serving the Lord.

[@Wkayjlamb]

Thank you for sharing your lives with us. It's encouraging to see you living for Christ and being faithful to the Lord and what you know is right. Love your family! God bless you in the New Year!

[@darlenecorcoran2892]

my husband was a great cook and did all the cooking. i did the yard work. it worked for us so it was fine regardless of what anyone else thought. if the garbage needed taken out, the dishes or clothes washed, they got done by us together or saw that it needed to be done and did it. there was never any 'his' or 'her' jobs so we could teach the children to be independent (my husband grew up in an orphanage and was taught to do the things that mothers normally would do because they had to do it for themselves)

[@kathrynmason5702]

Chad you are so correct married couples are a team partnership I was married for 21 years until my husband passed away I feel so blessed that God brought John into my life

[@lisapitts9518]

We have been married nearly 16 years and never a fight. Of course we have disagreements, like you said we are 2 different people. We both know that our Faith will see us through the storms.

[@Allin1mom]

Oh, please show your garden and the animals! We enjoy your videos. You are both an inspiration.

[@mollyb4541]

You two are such good people and parents! I absolutely love your home and style! Y’all coordinate your clothes too. Everything is so well put together! Wishing you all many blessings in the new year.

[@deborahhopper2682]

I truly enjoy your videos, I love that you are very loving and so respectful of each other and you both have such loving and caring spirits. I love how you stress that Christ is first in everything and every aspect. I look forward to your next video. Erin I have been watching your family for a long while and I enjoy how you all love and care for each other and are so close. I am excited for 2022 and to see what the Lord has in store for my family and yours. Wishing Y'all a Blessed and Very Happy New Year! Love and Prayers Always

[@connihudson1578]

You re a picture of Christ and the church. Praise the Lord! And it's Ods wisdom and grace that you don't argue. Couples need to see it's absolutely possible. 😇

[@NikiLivi5]

I love mowing the yard too!!! I finally realized it was because it was one of my only quiet times. 😂 I get to now ride the mower and just zone out in my thoughts. It’s so calming.

[@Alexander-jb3zo]

I totally agree with you that less screen time helps the children be more creative! Because their creative springs forward!

[@teribartusek2359]

God blesses yall! Humility! Oh what a beautiful attribute! Lord bless you and keep you! Thanks for the example!

[@thejazzybug17]

This reminds me of the blessings I have in my life with my sweet SO and the sweet babies we have between the two of us regardless of how each one came to be. I am so blessed.

[@johnensminger7675]

Thank you, Chad and Erin for sharing your thoughts and ideas and life with us! We have been blessed by you! Love you guys and can't wait to hear of your new addition next year!

[@isabellavalencia8026]

Your updated hairstyle and hair color is absolutely amazing!!! You are an amazing woman of God and a great example for woman and girls to look to for inspiration.

[@Nunyabusiness82777]

Just love y’all. Your so sweet and a wonderful example of what a Godly home and family should be…❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mackenziebrady8710]

I always feel so encouraged by you two ☺️ Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@stacysavage6408]

I love the idea of No TV. I wish I would've never gotten one. I also love mowing lol

[@emileewilliams3929]

I see couples (especially Christian couples) and they seem fake. Y'all don't. I'm so in awe of you both! What an excellent example for the kiddos!

[@florencenead1951]

I just love your family you are truly blessed.

[@sarahn.4775]

Y’all are such a beautiful example of marriage.✨ Thank you for sharing and encouraging!

[@j2hutton]

Y'all are legit the sweetest couple. I definitely look up to you Erin!

[@elizabethhowell2043]

You guys are so encouraging! Thank you!

[@lydm3398]

Ha ha --I mow too and all yard work as well, hubby does the dishes. We both cook together. I love doing laundry, he folds hangs his own si ce hes retired now. It works and thats all that matters! 42 yrs and a wonderful process, team work here.

[@johnensminger7675]

You two are sweet...I love following your channel!! Thanks for sharing your time and wisdom! Very helpful! God Bless you and your family!! Chad do you play the guitar?

[@susiesantino5625]

Awe that's lovely you two are so in tune with each other & that you have different viewpoints but don't argue. 😊

[@judyshepplt3086]

Wow! Looking at what a beautiful couple you two are I realize how badly I failed in my life. Always keep God first In the centre of your relationship and you will survive anything. Please keep doing these videos since I love watching your family grow. I’ve told other members of your family you are a bright light in a dark world. I know your time is coming for the new baby and you’re both going to be very busy. Good luck and God bless.

[@pd26224]

If families were all like yourself the world would be a better place .you are an inspiration for any relationship. Just one question for your next q and a .How would you react as parents if one of your children decided against religion ? Would you encourage to carry on or just leave them to decide .

[@gailknowles3804]

Love your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your home, life and faith with us.

[@christiabreeden7777]

I LOVE how ur raising ur kids the good ol fashion way!!..Nothing wrong with that!!

[@patriciamurray4701]

I think you both are adorable and your the PERFECT example of what a marriage should be

[@michelleparker3119]

Love, Love your first and last answers most! You two don’t argue because you BOTH place pleasing God first and your spouse second as top priority, that’s the only way for that to happen.

[@debbiejones9184]

Love you both! Thank you for all y’all do!

[@kennabaskerville6237]

You are a beautiful couple and very wise...the gift is what you said... putting God first. If you don't spend time with God you never get to know Him. He ask so very little of us and loves us enough to give us our free will....He hopes we choose the right path. This connection you have with God and yourselves will be such a blessing to your children. When you look at each other you can see love and respect. I look forward to your videos and a Blessed Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@katrinap2432]

God bless you both, your adorable and more important your faith is very apparent.

[@michellemybelle9591]

Y'all'r so sweet. Y'all owe us nothing but so graciously let us in. Ty!

[@edengracephotosllc3892]

Loved this Q&A my hubby and I have similar personalities to you and Chad and I agree we don’t argue either! Loved this video!! Can’t wait for next Thursday!! 💕

[@AbhishekKumar-rf6wu]

I’ve never commented on any KZbin video but this was something I couldn’t resist. I’m speechless and mesmerised with your Love and Bonding. Can’t agree more that you guys are real world example of PERFECT COUPLE….I wish you guys loads and loads of happiness….!!!❤️

[@guest_5992]

Wow. You guys are so sweet together. Marriage isn't easy for anyone but you guys are doing amazing! May God bless you and make that bond stronger as you grow old together! 🥰

[@sarahsmith4992]

We don’t have a TV either, and honestly it’s great for a family because it means you do more talking instead of watching.

[@noahandashlyn]

Love you guys. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. I glean so much from your marriage/parenting tips Erin where is your dress from??

You two are literally a match made in Heaven. May God continue to bless you. 💖

[@deborahjones1112]

Aww!! I just love the two of you, you are both so sweet and so are your family. Happy New year to all x

[@jasonmistretta4295]

Erin, on Bringing Up Bates I thought that I saw a TV in your house. I think it was used to play VCR tapes though? Is that true? I think your mom or dad mentioned that the TV was only turned on for things like educational programming or movie nights. In any case, it is a good idea to not have TVs or limit the use of televisions in homes. I grew up as a young child in the 1970s and mostly put puzzles together, read, did coloring books, & just played outside. We had a TV, but it was only used if my mom saw a movie that was going to air that the family could watch together.

[@yvonnemccallar3273]

I respect both of you. I agree, it’s a team effort for a marriage. Keep God in your life

[@lorriehorrocks9746]

I love to mow too, one time I was very pregnant and wanted to mow in hopes that it might start my labor lol after several relatives drove by and saw my husband came out and said I have to take over, I can't get one more phone call asking me why you are mowing! Lol it was funny but I get why he feels bad!

[@vikkielmore3480]

I love that your answer about arguments and fighting is very much myself and my husband, we'll have a difference of opinion but we've never had a fight! 20 years of marriage 💑 2 babies and he's seriously my best friend! He's my partner and we do pick up each other slack! And same about mowing, I love to mow the grass, actually the riding mower is mine, I picked it out, he upgraded to his specs and it's my butt comfort that was determined if it worked!

[@salliestewart4713]

this was sweet! You two are so sweet. ou should write a book on the last answers... no fighting your marriage foundaion. well put! thanks!

[@rebekahdoescher4931]

Thank you e r i n and Chad for sharing and happy New Year I pray it's a blessed new year I know it will be for you in that new little one coming I'm praying this is Mona in Wisconsin I'm 65 I don't know if this is a program to say here but since you're born again believers and so am I and were to pray for things I just heard that the actress and comedian Betty White had just died today now she was almost a hundred and I don't know she's got any immediate family left or not but there's going to be some people that are truly upset and miss her so if you could pray for their their hearts and their situations that'd be nice I just thought that I know that y'all got such tender hearts and you love the Lord so I felt safe and saying this to you I hope I wasn't overstepping any lines or nothing I'll be praying for anybody that knew her and I'm afraid that she knew the Lord have a beautiful new year y'all and thanks for sharing I enjoy these podcasts so much with you and your family it's never cease to have me put a smile on my face and warm my heart or spirit I love you all in the Lord your sister in Christ Mona shalom
