MARRIED Q&A | ANSWERING ALL YOUR PERSONAL QUESTIONS

We answer your juicy, personal questions in our very first MARRIED Q+A! From having kids, to Lawson’s first kiss, do we drink alcohol, and Bringing Up Bates! Plus, did we kiss before marriage and how do we feel about being in an interracial marriage? We hope this helps clarify all your curiosities about us and lay some assumptions to rest. Thanks for being a part of our lives as we love getting to share it with you!

My marriage advice is focus on changing yourself, not the other person. Also, keep your parents and siblings out of your fights. Women especially run to their parents in fights with their Husband. You will move on, but your parents will remember what you told them about your spouse. So, keep arguments between the two of you.

I am a fan of your entire family! You both are so sweet! Thanks for taking the time to update us!

My advice for a good marriage is to make sure you’re growing together. It is very important to cultivate your own identity and nurture that, but ultimately you’re a team so you need to “check-in” with each other and make sure you’re still rooted together.

When issues do arise, there’s no shame in seeking counsel from your loved ones, they see you from a unique perspective and should be invested in the success of your commitment to each other.

Always choose kind words. Even if you’re the most angry and hurt you’ve ever been, always soften your words. Piling hurtful words on top of an already bad situation can leave permanent damage. Give grace but also expect the same respect in return.

All the best to you! 💕

I appreciate how this Q&A was done. It pleased my heart to know that you both have the heart to ministry to someone who may been struggling with issues. You seem very relatable. I was encouraged 💛

Loved the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Tombstone and etc. In South Dakota. Got to check it out. We did it on a motorcycle trip. That's a way to take it all in.

Marriage is GREAT! 25 yrs and never a fight! It is possible! Disagree like mature adults! No need to say harsh words that leave wounds!! God made marriage to be WONDERFUL🌸❤️🌸❤️

[simplynorthernbelle]

I loved every minute of this. May God continue to bless you guys!

[chriscoats]

I love hearing about your love for the Lord and desire to follow and live for Him!

We met the Bates family many years ago and even went to their church while in town visiting our family.

My husband and I have now been married for 30 years. Best marriage advice: the closer you both are to God, the closer you will be to each other.

Marriage advice that has helped us in our 17+year marriage is understanding that who you married on your wedding day is not who you'll be married to in X number of years. God has big plans for the growth of you and your spouse and allowing your spouse and self the space to grow into that future warrior is vital. The friction comes in making sure you stay unified, on mission and growing TOGETHER as well. There will be times when God is stretching you in an area and you'll feel vulnerable. Invite your spouse into that space and ask for prayer as you grow. Plus LOTS and LOTS of laughter!

I'm so glad most you Bates kids are doing YouTube I really love watching the Bates family and I get to keep up with what's going on

[savedbyjesus]

You guys are so nice!!! And I so appreciate how much you talk about the gospel !!!

[jonniricard]

I really liked this Q and A. I think some people have the idea that you have to "wow" us to keep us watching. I actually like the day to day things. What projects you work on? how you spend your time? What does Tiffany do? Does she have projects? Are you learning new skills? It would be neat to join you in learning that even if it is just someone coming over to teach you how to cook something. There is enough drama in the world around us. I enjoy watching as a break from the drama on the internet. But then again, that just may be me.

This is for lawson ..
I know that Tiffany has been into acting, how would you feel if she had been given a leading part with an amazing pay but had a kissing scene ??

[annejones]

I really appreciate how humble you both are. You are a special couple and the Lord is using you to further the gospel! God bless!

I love that Lawson considers 10 kids a medium family 😂As someone with 9 siblings, I totally get it

[hannahn.]

I’m the oldest of 10, we have 5 boys and 5 girls (plus we lost two babies) I LOVE having the amount of siblings I have, always would’ve loved to have more but this is how God wanted our family and it’s wonderful!! Love listening to answer all these questions 😊

[amandabottorff]

Working on 29th yr. Best advice be each other’s best friend. And talk share everything and most importantly make God the center of family. ❤️🙏

[smalick]

[FrederikEngelmand]
