    This is probably the realist minimalism story I have ever heard. Thank you for being so honest

    I want this channel to blow up! Seiriously.. Im kinda minimalist since 3 years. I watched soo many videos. In russian, german and english. BUT tjis is the FIRST COUPLE I see. This is amazing! You are so sympathic, you talk slow I understand everything! I wish you love, health, and success! This wife has such a cute smile :)

    When there is less stuff to tend to and take care of there’s more time to spend together 🥰

    Today I am 61 years old. It is the first time someone has had the guts to tell the world the truth about what happens in marriages. You my friends don't know how really in love I was and what you are saying I lived
    and felt, Once upon a time.

    What a beautiful testimony. The Bible teaches that "godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content." (1 Timothy 6:6-8). Looks like y'all are on the right track. God bless. - Arlene

    Way to go, you two!!! Takes courage to confront problems in a constructive and loving way, and even more courage to share openly and honestly as you have. You are wonderful role models!

      Very inspiring. Wish more couples would fight for their marriage, and keep their vows, instead of quitting.

    I needed this! My husband and I are currently going through this as he works 50 hour weeks and I’m a stay at home mom with our 2 year old and 8 month old.

    I appreciate your transparency. I know it will help young couples and not so young couples.

  • @aCycleofSelfcontrol

    It seriously is hard being a young couple sometimes. I'm so glad to find people like you who are willing to be open so that people like me can learn. Super appreciate this video. ❤️

    I know this is an old video, but my husband is a worship leader and I am working part time, so I have found solace in your videos. We relate to you. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this journey. I am very much a people pleaser which has held me back - a lot. Until one day my pastor told me something. He said “being a people pleaser is kind of selfish when you think about it. You are so worried about protecting your own feelings of insecurity, by maybe telling someone no, that ultimately you damage your own feelings instead.”
    Makes sense to me - he didn’t say that word for word, but in a nutshell. I hope that makes sense. Keep making great videos!
    God bless!

    You're family is so awesome! Id love to see more of your worship leader messages...connecting minimalism to the Bible is so fascinating! God is good all the time!

    I can tell through your videos that you feel relief after all the work you did to clear your house and schedules! That’s what I want to bring for our family. Thank you so much for sharing! So glad I found you guys!

    We don’t have a TV either. We have a combined living/dining/office so we have our computer as a TV so to speak but we don’t use it as often as a TV. We are intentional with our time and what we watch so we use it for family movie night, or for 20 minutes of cartoons and for my study. I watch TH-cam or read books mostly.

    I just found your channel and I love your content, the way you add clips of things throughout the video (I get bored with videos that are just a person sitting there talking-I want to see progress), and the sweetness between the two of you. I’ll be binge watching.

    • @TheArmsteadFamily

    You have always got to make time for each other in a marriage and appreciate each other you’re a lovely couple we always declutter our home every few months xx

  • @MarshmilloJB
    @MarshmilloJB 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Carleen’s right. Decluttering doesn’t fix a relationship, but having less stuff might help you to really see each other again ☺️ Maybe the stuff was preventing that…

    Ugh you guys are GReat ! Im also on a minimalism journey because we have young kids too and it just helps so much. I do a toy rotation too and its been a gamechanger. Now i dedicate a day a week to decluttering , and I’ll usually spend an hour on that.

    • @TheArmsteadFamily

    Wow your story is Soo sooo inspiring. I feel like taking up the challenge. My husband and I need a change in our lifestyle with the tv part. We are minimalists but I feel like we need more activity in our life other than video games or movies or shows. I always want to play a board game or do something with him and we rarely do that. I think I want to cancel all of my subscriptions and just put the tv away for a bit and also save money on our bills like that for a while. I am going to talk to him about it and see what he thinks. I think it's a distraction to our dreams right now.

    • @TheArmsteadFamily
      @TheArmsteadFamily  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Lydia ❤️... I love your idea. We did this together and though we brought back some of this in our lives, we definitely needed to get them out of the picture for a while so we could remember the reason why we were together. It can get so mundane when every day is drowned out by routines, tv, and just getting by. Excited to hear how it goes for you and your husband 😊

    • @selennecabrera6666

      we started to go to places like the beach, parks, or planned trips, sometimes with the kids and others just us two. I hope that helps
