OUR FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE | fights, intimacy, our first time 

They look like the human versions of Flynn Rider and Rapunzel

Looove how Chad explained that Tori makes him feel safe, likely because of her gentleness and sweet nature (which men sometimes don't seem to realize they need exposure to) and Tori talked about how Chad's leading and empowerment makes her feel safe. I think one of the greatest things about walking with God is the feeling of safety and security that He provides in telling us that we ARE saved because of Jesus. He doesn't make us wonder. So I really think that the fact that Tori and Chad's relationship has this deeply rooted feeling of safety with each other is a great example of how their relationship is reflective of our relationship with the Lord. If two people can feel so safe with each other, just imagine the amount of security and safety we can find in our God! :) Love this video, channel, and both of you!

I want my future husband and I to understand Marriage as much as you guys do. I believe its a divine gift . God bless.

Their babies are going to turn out beautiful

WOW you both talk to and about each other with so much love and respect. I love how Chad talked about how seeing the less confident side of Tori softened the way he saw her. THAT is the love of Christ!

"I got to see you with softer eyes."

i really admire the attentiveness in your relationship, you both have an awesome sense of self and can admit your own flaws. its amazing.

You two are so sweet and wise and funny! I'm learning a lot and really enjoying your videos. Thank you so much for these!

Wishing you guys (my parents) a lifetime of love, understanding, tolerance, Intentionality and above all commitment. Praying for you guys. side note: you guys have set the bar so high for me.

What a breath of fresh air in a young couple! I can tell you as someone who's been married for 12 years (in a Christian marriage), you guys are such ahead of the game in maturity with Christ as the center. And definitely agree on the magnified effect of intimacy when waited how God intended :). Also, first year was super easy for us...easy first 4 years until kids, but when you're a team, you can tackle that too!

Could y’all make an in depth video about being long distance, the engagement , and how y’all were intentional towards each other during that phase ? what did the planning look like for the wedding with being separate and how did y’all handle it?? God willing, I am about to transition into a similar part of my life and I would LOVE some advice! Y’all have been great role models and a light in such a confusing and emotional time!

I don’t even know how to explain this but seeing you as an example of a Christian couple has really helped me a lot. It is so hard to keep hope of the future in this world but it is a comfort to see that it is still a very real thing to be a Christian couple. I have had a very rough couple of months and have often felt hopeless. I have strayed from God sometimes. The only thing keeping me going has been Gods promises that He loves me and will work everything together for my good in the end. One other thing that has helped me have hope is that God has someone he is preparing for me and I believe he is putting me through my hardships so I can be stronger and hopefully become a godly wife someday. Your story reminds me that God has a plan through everything. I am praying that you guys have a wonderful marriage beyond this first year and I would appreciate your prayers!

Yes please do a part 2 answering the remainder of the questions!!!

Omg..I love Tori's explanation on submission! I'm exactly in that headspace and it makes perfect sense. Great job girl!

Let's go back and rewind about the part about SUBMISSION and let's re watch this over and over!! So good and so true!!

So raw and real. I love y’all’s videos. Such good content and an amazing inspiration to me! God bless!

You guys are absolute couple goals. Love how you love each other and show an example shining brightly of God's love and your love for each other.

wow. can I just say “thank you” for the way you illustrated marriage.... you both have such honor for each other & you have such a depth between you two. this video encouraged me so much because I have a lot of dreams, but also questions about the reality of marriage. You both are two strong individuals that together you form a powerful unit. It gives me hope. Thank you both. Definitely subscribing :)

Yay! So happy for new video 💛 y’all are such lights

Whoa. Chad dropping truth bombs. You guys are so encouraging. ❤️

Love your discussion around submission. Agree with the biblical definition of submission 🙏🙏

U guys are so easy on the eye it’s beautiful. Then ur advice is so pure and real. Beautiful again!!

I cant wait to be married

You guys are adorable. May God continue to encourage you ♥️

Love you guys!! This is all so good!! Marriage is the best!! 🙌🏼🥰❤️

This was so mature and I love all your answers!! I can tell that your marriage is God-centered and God-glorifying the way you lift each other up and honor/love each other💓💓💪🏼 Such great examples for future generations (I'm supposed to get married in April but with Coronavirus it's gotten postponed till July) This is surprisingly inspiring me to have more joy and hope in the process of waiting. God's doing something whether I know it or not. It's been a frustrating time but seeing happy couples like you guys makes me eager to know it's all worth the wait!

Watching your testimony on how you guys met inspires me to wait for Gods timing!!! To have a man pursue me how Chad pursued you and so be patient like you Tori to wait even when he’s right in front of you. Wow, love this so much!!!!

You two. You both are such a light. I'm so encouraged by you two, thank you for spreading God's love :)

Do another video with more questions ! Loved it !! Pushing for part II!!!

Y’all. Thanks 🥰 married 6 weeks this Saturday and it’s been a LOT to learn, figure out, and adjust to but - it’s also been the best 6 weeks of my life ❤️ I LOVE doing it all with my best friend. Thanks for answering some questions I’ve had and didn’t even know I had. Thanks for the encouragement - I keep waiting to the “crash” everyone says you have in the “hard first year” and I need to stop ❤️ just cuz people say that doesn’t mean it has to be that way. And now I’m gonna go get ready for my husband to get home from work 🥰

Wow I love your biblical definition of submission! It’s something that gets skewed and warped in today’s society. It’s really awesome to hear your definitions💕 PREACH!!!

I love this! This is the kind of marriage I strive for. Absolutely love you guys!

I'm not married yet. But, I appreciate your advice and sharing your honest experiences. I am one who likes to prepare for the future as much as possible. And while I agree that there is no way to prepare for marriage 100%, I do appreciate any helpful advice I could work on within myself to do so. I have added this to my "marriage and relationships playlist" so I can watch it again in the future.

I hope that you guys grow even more in your 2nd year of marriage. 😀👍🙏

I am loving these videos where both of you talk about your real life experiences with each other and Jesus. I would love more videos like these, they're so eye-opening and empowering!! Keep up with these videos, they're a gem :)

Such a meaningful video. And the “goodbye” part was the sweetest. 🙃 Thank you! 🙏🏻

Awesome video thanks for sharing with us! I have not watched war room and boy did that quote make me laugh! lol I had to pause the video to finish so I could hear you sowing more wisdom. Thank you Chad for your explanation on lust vs intimacy, real eye opener and huge encouragement! Thank you for the edit Tori ;]

such a beautiful video! The love that you two share is amazing!

All these positive comments literally warm my heart ❤️. Y’all are such a beautiful blessed couple

AWWW I love everything in this video! It’s all so true and beautiful! Best insights abt marriage ever!! so much loveee🥰 may God keep you both always! ilysmm!🖤

I LOVE the way you explained how you view submission. I totally agree, but have never been able to put it into words. That was perfect.

I can’t even believe to explain how beautiful God has knit you both together. yes it’s not perfect, but it’s founded on Jesus and His both for you as individuals and now as Husband and wife, it’s breathtaking. praying that God continues to move within your marriage. ❤️ also praying that Jesus has a relationship like this in store for me. I don’t say this lightly, relationship goals TO THE MAX 🥰

I really am impressed with how you love each other! It's very precious! You make me cry, I'm so touched!

Literally... thank God for you guys! I'm in a long distance relationship and we have been told by so many people its not going to work out, and that our love for each other is just the ''honey moon'' phase. But we always tell each other that if you keep jesus the center then your love for one another will only keep growing for each other. long distance has been so hard, but we just believe God is growing our relationship during this time. we've been attacked so much but we just know its because God wants to use our relationship to glorify himself. can't even tell you how much i need this video today, and now I'm thankful i have your videos to encourage me. I've never seen a couple that i feel like i can finally relate to on youtube, and honestly look up to so much! I'm gonna buy and read yalls book. thanks again!

This is the first video I'm watching & ThankYou RU-vid for recommending this to me. One minute in and I knew that there is something different and pure about this couple & I knew it that I'd love to follow this couple. Your love is so pure and beautiful Gonna binge watch all your videoes the coming days XD

Loved the video! You guys are always super inspiring!💕🤗

Wow. Distance creates distortion. That just really struck a chord with me in so many ways. Thank you for sharing that.

I watched you wedding video earlier for the 1st time-was glad to find out you guys have a channel so i subcribed.both of you are a blessing to many people-me & my wife just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary & it just seemed like yesterday.we are still learning something different about each other even 25yrs later-yeah its not always been perfect but i cant see myself being married to no one else but her-she is my partner til death us do part-our love continues growing each day & we pray you guys keep doing what ya'll are doing is keeping Christ the center of your marriage-we love your videos keep em coming-love stephen & donna

This was so encouraging to watch 🥺

I love your understanding of the true nature of marriage which the Church has spoken so much. God bless you both.

You guys are so blessed and amazing! Thank you so much for your advice and sharing your experience! It was absolutely encouraging, I am telling you, God uses you, He just used you in my life and so many others’ lives. It is amazing to see his work through internet and RU-vid to win hearts and help his sheep. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻❤️

Your guy’s relationship inspires me 💕

Tearing up, tearing up 😭😍 tears are coming

Loved this Q&A!!

I LOVE THIS! wow! The way that you guys incorporate God throughout your marriage and realize that He is the center of it all is just amazing! I just came across your page and when I heard you guys just talking, I knew you were faith filled and it’s so evidently lived out in your personal lives and throughout your home in things you say and do! Never stop sharing your faith but continue to be loud voices for the kingdom of God! You guys are doing a great job! God is so proud of you & I’m officially subscribed and ready to see future videos!

just found your channel and I immediately subscribed!! Wish you two all the happiness and success in the world! ♥️

love you guys you’re the absolute best

I admire your honesty, this video is awesome

Tori, I see so much in you that I strive to be. God has used you in even the smallest ways to speak to me, and I’m sure so many other...more than you’ll ever know!!!!!

You Both are Full of Wisdom and my prayer is that God will continue to be Glorified in both of your Lives 😃

The wealth of wisdom I get from your videos is invaluable God bless you

Loved this!

10:42 - one of the best answers I have ever heard from a woman on this topic. Outstanding 🙌🏻🙏🏼 subbed!

I really loved your answers to the questions. After listening to you both speak (I’ve never seen you both before) I decided to like and subscribe. Please make a part 2 Q&A!! ❤️ God bless you, you’re both beautiful

I love this video, it feels like such a God-centered marriage and it’s so inspiring. I love the movie War Room too !! God bless you

This was so inspiring and beautiful ❤️

Great video good advice as I am in a relationship. God is our strength.

They’re Christian?? Subbed!

TORI MISS YOU SO MUCH Really hope I get to see you soon ! -Zoe

I loved your video! I was definitely encouraged by your responses. I'm getting married in less than 2 months hopefully and have been both nervous and excited to start married life. Thank you for sharing!

THIS IS soo beautiful !! favorite couple

You both are a wonderful blessing 💕

at 5:38 I was saying amen! tori that is so me! thank you!!

Y’all are freaking goalz❤️❤️❤️

This is SO good guys... :') Thank you!

Yep put God first and pray over your new family

Wonderful Ministry, bless you for sharing

Love love love your videos !!! 🥺❤️ Please do a video on singleness. How to wait or be celibate for your future husband/wife! How to keep focusing on God until the right person. I think we would all learn a lot from that ! ☺️❤️ Thank you !!!

Great advice 🗣❤️❤️

When the video starts I always go back to dance to the intro song. I just love it🙂

I pray my future husband talks about our marriage like this one day 😭❤️

The first year of marriage is such a roller coaster! So many ups and downs. Most people feel like it's better than expected, but I think having a realistic expectation of what it should be is extremely helpful. Using God's blueprint is the best way to have those realistic expectations.

Finally found a RU-vid couple channel I can relate to! 😍 I also got married later, (29) Loved your description of the honeymoon phase! And yes, the first year of marriage was easy for us. Certain aspects of life was hard, but marriage has been easy. Just celebrated our 2nd anniversary last month!!

Love is in the air! 😊😊😊

Wow we have come so far in talking about hard subject , and so many need this information

This is going to sound corny but I envision you guys to be as deeply in love 70 years from now like Allie and Noah in The Notebook 😆🥰 #goals

I love your video. You guys are adorable, and making great choices and most of all choosing Jesus. Sent this to my newly wed kids💕💕. Thank you for sharing.

It's really helpful to hear about marriage from bible knowning lovely people God bless you guys

How crazy that I was just googling about twin flames and mirroring with the guy I like currently! He just being his true self has caused me to become someone I like and its a scary thing but its what I want and Im falling in love with who I am even more. God is talking to me!! Thank you!!

Ok. This BLESSED me!!!

You guys are absolute couple !!!!

Yes it gets deeper

11:30 Wow! That whole point about how when people hear the word "submission" they get the sense that a wrestling match is happening, is an awesome point to make! It implies there's a fight going on, and the wife has to "lose," when that could not, not, NOT, be farther from the truth!!

love your video. Nice topic to discuss with. 🐨🐢

You 2 are so awesome and so cute together. My husband & I also never found the 1st year of marriage hard. It got harder as we started having kids financially a real burden. But we survived the kid raising years, been married now 37 years and still like being together and enjoy each other's company. We are so fortunate to be friends also. We haven't fought much either. Continue to keep God in your marriage and you will be fine. You give great advice, thank you. Love your testimony. God bless.

You guys are so cute. Thankfully for your RU-vid channel. ❤❤❤

You guys are the cutest lol!!

I loved how Chad described the lust vs intimacy, it was such a good answer! But I didn't quite get the "submission" part, if you could explain it it'll be great. Thank you guys!🙌🏼

My boyfriend and I have been long distance for 2 years... 2 months would be a dream for us!! We would feel so fortunate. To me that's so easy

I think Tori listens to Rich Wilkerson so much! haha I listen to him too! Amazing preacher
