You’ve made the right decision. Prioritize your husband/wife & children. Long after your social media days are done and your RV lifestyle ended it’s your family that will be there. Nothing is more important. Take care of each other and work towards improving and strengthening your relationships. All the best to you all. 😊
Thank you!
I'm so glad you put your marriage first.❤
Us too!
Keeping a marriage going is a constant, revolving act of unselfishness and sacrifice. (I know I’ve been married for 42 years!)
Family must come first. Do what you need to do for you and the kids.
Everyone deserves a “vacation “. For most it means traveling. For you it means staying put.
Marriage is tough. Teenage children and that 14-21 anniversary range is brutal. Believe us when we say making it through these hard times creates a marriage that is deeper, better, and very different than what you had. Thanks for your honesty. We really appreciate you guys.
I commend you for recognizing the struggle and being accepting of help. You guys do whatever you need to find yourselves and recharge.❤
Sharing your vulnerability and challenges takes humility and bravery. Thank you! We wish you continued success both professionally and personally. 💝
Kuddos for being real and for seeking advice and not just throwing in the towel. Your children deserve to have their parents together. Good luck to you!
It's good that you recognize the need for counseling. Too many people today call it quits before it ever gets started. My thoughts and prayers are with you
Kudos to you for taking time. TH-cam cannot be the priority when your relationship is at risk. You will grow so much and every relationship needs a little fine tuning (sometimes major reworking) to stay healthy. I pray you’ll find your footing and enjoy many healthy, happy years of marriage ahead. Being willing to learn is worth its weight in gold. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you for your honesty. I have always wondered how being full time RVers affects even the best relationships. I am glad you all were able to slow things down and reflect and communicate with each other in a more healthy way. Thanks so much for sharing that aspect of life on the road. ❤
Really putting yourself out there. I’m impressed with that. Thank you for sharing. I’m sure that others are struggling and will find some comfort knowing that they aren’t alone.
Thank you for sharing about attending couples therapy together. We NEED to stop allowing therapy be a taboo subject. About 7 years ago my husband and I attended therapy together. If we hadn't we'd be divorcing as empty nesters rather than what we are doing.... planning epic trips together! Keep up the work! We still say.... "The counselor said....." and then we work to do better.
Thank you for your honesty. Maintaining your mental health and working with your partner to support theirs is paramount to a functional partnership. There is no shame in saying this is no longer working if you have explored the reasons for discord and your differences are irreconcilable. However being committed to working through those differences can result in a stronger partnership. Best wishes for a successful journey that works for you and your family.
Thank you!
Glad life is getting back on track for your family. Communication is every thing. for us it is. My wife is my best Friend we talk about every thing .About our Feelings what is bothering us. So with that being said We leave in May 2024 for our Frist Cross Country Camping Trip Just us Alone. I was a Truck driver for 37 years and want to go see places that I Passed at 65 MPH. Love the video's keep them coming. But family comes First
we travel by ourselves when we go out of town but in town, we go with friends.
Thanks for sharing the lows and the highs. Praying for you as you work though things. I like all your content, the travel and the fix up stuff, I actually had not noticed a change but I've been also watching some of your older episodes too as I am a new watcher! I love all the organizing, DIY and fixes you show. I feel like those also add realism to the RV lifestyle.
Thank you so much
You have your priorities right. Take all the time you need because your marriage is worth it. We’re new at RVing so your all videos have been helpful. I really enjoyed this video
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words
Hugs to you all! We are all in real life as well! Thank you for your transparency!!
💙
I respect what you are doing. Before you press that upload button, just remember, there's no undoing it.
Truth!
Glad you two took a break to work on the issues in your marriage. Keeping your marriage healthy is essential for a happy life. My bride & I celebrated 50 years of marriage this last summer. Just like everything, it requires maintenance.
That you for sharing a bit of real life. It is a good reality check for all when we realize everyone has real life going on even if the video doesn't show it. Love the travel content, love the Keys. We would love to go down again but we are in that period of life where the kids schedules don't really allow for much travel. Maybe some day soon.
enjoy your home at the Glamper hideaway and take time for you! And thanks for keeping it real-it takes tremendous courage to share. Maybe if more would be real and skip all the filters, we could get back to the real world.
So true!
My wife and I couldn’t Rv full time , we would get on each others nerves and fight to much. 3-4 nights in the motorhome is a sweet spot. We normally travel and Rv with friends.
👍🏻
Never be too proud to ask for help.. family first ❤️
Very vulnerable and honest of you guys. It helps to relate. I love your content and Thanks for sharing 🙃❤
Thank you for being trusting and vulnerable, I pray you find your true passion for each other again
Respect, kindness, and being humble towards each other is so important
We love you, we support your family
Much love
Thank you!
You are so courageous to share with us your story of personal struggles living on the road. Taking this journey with your family is amazing!! However there are always challenges no one will be able to see until they are in front of you. You two are so amazing…you acknowledged things were different, and still have love and respect for each other to stop and take the time to do the work to get through the pain. God bless you all…know your online family support you. Take care, be patient with yourselves and each other. ❤️🌹❤️🌹
Thank you!
Thank you for your personal honesty...it's appreciated more than you know! I can't imagine all that you do that has to get in the way of a strong relationship...full time RVing with kids, homeschooling, videoing, editing, and on and on. I'm so thankful you took time for you and saved your marriage. That and God come first and require the time needed to make that so! Kudos and God bless!
You need to do what you need to do. Your marriage and family are the most important.❤
Your marriage and family are most important. Praying for all of you! Thank you for keeping it real and being honest. God bless you all! 💛
I was glad to hear that you were able to find professional help to talk to. RVing and life can get stressful. Doing whats right for you and your family is what matters most. Luv your channel.
That's a definite 1st priority and by making it public only reminds us that your real and human like the rest of us
Nothing wrong with taking a time out from traveling....take your time and take care of yourself :)
Thank you for sharing. While we don’t personally know you guys, we feel like we are family in Christ. Praying for you all, and for Jesus to fully heal and restore. ❤
Thank you!
Not easy but definitely authentic. Thank you for being high quality humans in addition to high quality TH-camrs.
Thank you!!
Thank you for being honest… it has helped us tremendously!!
💙
Thanks for sharing your story. So appreciate that. Have a happiest new year ever!🎉
Marriage, life, kids and traveling are all hard. With work you are do it. You’ve proven that! Being able to ask for help is amazing and then sharing…stay strong and positive ❤.
Yes! Thank you!
I so appreciate the authenticity here! Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Excellent advice! Thank you.👍🏼😎
Having a strong foundation with a life partners is mission critical to succeeding in other areas of life. Super glad you guys are doing all that you can to work on what is most important to you and your family.
💙
Appreciated you sharing your personal struggles. Marriage and relationship challenges are a real part of life and something that I too am going through and can relate to right this moment. Your video helped me so thank you.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you being so forthright. I always enjoy you videos.
Thank you for sharing. Takes a lot of courage. Stay strong and continue working together
Wishing you guys the best! ❤
I'mso glad U.shared this! Transparency is inportant 2 a lot of us!
It's great taking a break video. We are trying to schedule a trip to the keys.
I have a lot of respect for you guys. Glad you shared your struggles and your experiences.
Thank you!
Thank you for the videos you make. Glad you and Ben are working together rving is not easy all the time.
Great decision to take a break and seek marriage counseling. My wife and I love your videos. It has a little for me and a little for my wife. Besides most of your videos are on the east coast. We’ve both been on the east coast but never traveled in an RV. We live on the West coastish. Take as much time as you need. We’ll keep checking back for videos. 🙂
You and your family is the most important! Stay strong!
Thank Goodness you are so real and authentic, it is deeply appreciated. You guys made the right decision for sure. I love all your content, the travel and the how to’s. Thank you for it all.
Thank you for being real and sharing your truth! Sharing your personal struggles helps others that are struggling. Praying for you and your family and thanking you for sharing your truth. You and your family bless our family❤️ Thank you guys for all you do!!
Love you guys and thank you for sharing this peak into your personal life. I fully understand and after 30 years with my husband we are finding our way back to solid ground. It’s not easy but it will be worth it.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family through this difficult time.. I love all the videos, but some of my favorites are the storage ones.
LOVED your *realness*. Family is WORTH is.. Good for you!! Wish you the best!
Thank You for sharing!
🤗✨💖✨🐶 🐱
Thank you for sharing such a personal video. My husband and I have been full timing it for 2 yes now...2022 was a very rough year for us. We are in a much better place now. I wish you and your family a successful/happy/fulfilling 2024. Thanks for all the great content.
Thanks for watching
Such a great video! Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your journey. It is so important to share that there is hope for change. It is so common for people to give up on their marriages and "just start over" these days, thanks for helping to teach others that there is a path to preserving what you have and teaching your children that sticking with each other during hard times is so worth it. I love following y'all and the values that you live by and share with others. Praying for y'all as you continue. Thanks for sharing the tough times with us. It made a difference to me. ❤🙏Jane 🎄Merry Christmas!❤
I love you all! Your family is so special. ❤
We love your content, informative and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us, we can all relate to it. Take care and have a fabulous Happy Holidays! 🎄🌟
Anne & Eric
Thank you so much!
Just wanted to say that it is awesome that y’all recognized you needed to make some changes and work on your marriage instead of just giving up and walking away from each other. The travel videos are great but as someone that is looking to buy their first RV in the next several months and start to travel we find the how to videos very helpful. We are keeping you guys in our prayers and hope to get to meet y'all on the road someday. God bless and safe travels
Thank you for sharing.
We always appreciate your honesty and be open with us all.
We traveled for 60 days last year and we were exhausted after it all.
Take all the time you need for your family.
Thanks for sharing. You guys are the best! Hoping things are better. ❤❤
Getting better every day as we put in the work! Thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
It took a lot to share that. Glad things are getting better. You two are perfect together.
Way to be transparent and authentic! Those that don’t get it aren’t your people anyway! Good for you to slow down and get your priorities adjusted! 💯
Thanks so much!
I am glad that you’re working on you
Thank you for being so honest.
Thanks for watching
Thank you and I commend you for being honest. It takes a lot to show everyone when your weak but it also shows that you are very strong too. Keep at it and everything will work out the way it should.
Sending you so many good vibes for your journey and marriage.
I admire your family and this video is especially appreciated because of your willingness to be vulnerable. Im sure this video will help someone else in their relationship. ❤
Thanks for another beautiful video. We love the Keys. I appreciate your authenticity.
Thanks for watching!
Glad you are working on your lives as needed. Prayers.
Thank you!
So glad your staying strong. You and your family are great examples to so many people😎. Love you guys🎄
Thanks so much
You guys are amazing, please work things out and I know you all will one big happy family., you two are good together.
I love your vulnerability thanks so much for sharing I'm glad you put you/family first hugs!
💙
I’m so glad you shared your struggles and so happy you sought help.. praying for you and your family to continue life together and enjoy one another for many many more years to come ❤
Thanks! 💙
Thanks for being "real". And good for your family that you realized you needed some help and sought out counseling. It's so easy to get into non healthy ruts with ourselves and our spouses. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you for sharing your journey 🧡🦩, hope to see you on the road one day. I am still a weekendish camper, so I have not really met camping friends. Though I have met some great people. I did Thanksgiving in the keys too, at the KOA. JP is on my list to visit.
I'm so glad you took the time you needed. I wish nothing but the best for your family. I enjoy all of your videos. You are in my prayers. ❤
Thank you!
We loved spending Thanksgiving with you guys ❤
We miss you all!
good of you to share such personal information for the good of the rest of us - stay strong!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your struggles and your high points. I am glad you both recognized the need to slow down and invest in yourselves and each other. That can be so incredibly difficult to do. I will be praying for you both as you navigate this season. I hope it brings you both together in a deeper way.
Marriage is hard. Adulting is hard. Life is hard. Yall seem to do a great job of making it work. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
Thanks for watching and your support
Thank you for sharing your struggles. Marriage my best and most challenging relationship!
Thank you for sharing that you have had some struggles. It makes you more "real" and relatable. (BTW, I enjoy a mix of How To and travel videos.)
Thank you!!
We are grateful for y’all sharing your struggles with us. We know it was not an easy decision to do, but it just solidifies the decision to follow you guys. The truthfulness you share is greatly appreciated. Keep doing what you do and by all means keep that relationship strong. Whatever that takes. ❤
Thank you for sharing this message with
me. I say me because unlike most of your content, what you said was about the other adventure. Exploring and doing can not be done without first knowing where you are. Both as a starting point on a map , but also where your mind is. You two did the hard thing. Looking inward is scary . That impressed me very much. We all have places we think need defending. Feelings , secrets , insecurities. What you shared proved to me something I belive I knew soon after beginning to follow your channel . A love of adventure starts with a love of self , family , friends. Keep on growing your adventures, for as long as they fulfill a need . As with all things a day will.come when a path will open onto something new. Be prepared to accept letting go of somethings , so that path can open for you. . Good job Ben and Charity I know it wasn't easy sharing .
Thanks so much! We truly appreciate it!
Thank you sharing. We don't even watch those 25 storage ideas and such. We like your travels and this sharing was very important. Thank you and safe travels
Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing the real you❤️ So glad you two recognized it and got the help that you need. Keep up the quality time together, it makes a difference 🤗
Thanks for the kind words!
Thankful for you honesty. Thank you for your transparency. Sharing “real” life is hard and messy. But those who care will stay. Way to go! We will pray for your family and God will for your life.
Thank you!
Thank you . Thank you .I personally wish to see good bad help alway for anything.
I can see lots of reasons to have a home base when RVing, sometimes a "time-out" is needed. I know that I'd go nuts living in a small RV for months on end.
That SUPing looks SO fun!
It's a blast!
Great video! Yes, marriage is hard but worth it. We have been serving FamilyLife Weekend to Remember marriage conferences for years now and have seen so many marriages saved and grow from them! Thanks for being "raw". It's very helpful to many I'm sure. We have been through a lot as well.
Thanks for sharing and for being so real. It takes work to make marriage work, keep it up, you will not regret it.
Life is full of daily challenges and it's how you deal with them. It will make you a better person too ! Love Alaska's new look & so much cooler !
Yes, Alaska got a much needed hair cut 😉
Thoughts and prayers coming your way. Family first always. ❤
💙
Thank you for sharing everything. I appreciate people more being their authentic selves rather than the artificial personaes we usually are fed. It makes following you and your messages more meaningful and realistic. Best wishes and much happiness to you all. 😊
Thank you!
Love Temu and watching your videos. Marriage is tough without all the small spaces and traveling. Hang in there and know that we will be watching whatever you guys put out. My wife has loved the organizing and Ikea videos.
Thank you so much!
