    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.

    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. 😊

    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!

    "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.

  • @rzpotts4
    @rzpotts4 2 года назад +80

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

    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.

      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.

  • @LuLuDavis65
    @LuLuDavis65 2 года назад +2

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    @chocolatechipcookieface3668 2 года назад +21

    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.

  • @mamatofive1
    @mamatofive1 2 года назад +19

    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!

  • @darlenecorcoran2892
    @darlenecorcoran2892 2 года назад +5

    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)

  • @lisapitts9518
    @lisapitts9518 2 года назад +3

    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.

He's my partner and we do pick up each other slack!

    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.

    Very happy new year to all your family 💝Your new product is fantastic 👍 Men all over the world need to have those cards in their pockets to make the world a better place to live. And make women and children happier. I'd be glad to translate them into French and Russian
