I’m Mexican-American, I paid my car insurance, gas, hygiene products, clothes, entertainment and paid my parents $180 a month. This was 10 years ago. I never looked at it as a punishment. I looked at it as contributing to the house. My mom always had home cooked meals after work and it was a blessing

Josh is totally right around the 40 minute mark! We do not watch your content for your fancy house! It is 100% for your attitude, your productivity, your humor, your Mennonite lifestyle, and most of all for YOU! ❤

Agree with Josh. If kids are 18, out of school and not in college, they should have the responsibility and accountability of contributing to household expenses.

When our kids graduated high school and they were working full time they paid a small amount of rent and we put that money in a savings account and gave it to them when they moved out or got married…but they did not know that so it was just a blessing!

The best advice I have heard in so long…..”Spend time in the Word”. Wow Josh thank you!

I personally love that you guys live in an older home because it’s real for so many of us. Most KZfaqrs have houses that I know mine doesn’t come close to, it’s late 60s and dated. What keeps me coming back is how relatable your lifestyle and parenting is. You are motivational without displaying an unattainable life.

Children paying rent at a certain age is not a mennonite or amish only thing. The rule for me was if you were not in school, you paid rent. There was no pressure to go to college, just the expectation to be doing something and being productive. So when I graduated high school, I paid rent, incredibly minimal. My parents didn’t need my money, they wanted me to understand real life. I also had to pay for my own car expenses, personal expenses and help out at home. But they were also quick to help out when appropriate when something came up with me or my sisters. It was more about life lessons than a hard fast rule. But I don’t think any of my friends did. I enjoyed this Q&A!

My husband and I were married for 64 years. I wish you two the same blessing.

A perfect marriage is two imperfect people with God's help never give up on one another. God bless you and yours! 🥰

You have just inspired me to make chocolate covered strawberries for my husband for Valentine’s Day!! Such a simple and inexpensive treat/gift for him! Us ladies need to show some love to our husbands on Valentine’s Day as well. I am so so excited to listen to this video Megan! Also, you and Josh doing a Q&A is NOT cringey! It’s some of my favorite content! (although I respect that he doesn’t always want to be on camera of course)

I am a 66 yr old grandmother to 6 soon to be 7 grandchildren and have been married to my high school sweetheart coming up on 45 years this year. I love how you sparkle with each other and seem to enjoy one another's company. Realize the years FLY by and being together after all these years is so rewarding. Remember to keep that sparkle between one another and put one another first. I always enjoy watching both of you together! I have been praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to the new baby news!!! God bless!

My family and I never argue. We just have intense moments of fellowship 😊

I was never taught to handle money. I never have been able to save and its been a disaster for me even now at 64. Teaching about money is a loving thing to do as a parent. Great Q & A.

I enjoyed this a lot. Hearing Josh laugh heartily and seeing you two address marriage candidly is refreshing! I’ve been married 37 years and there is a great deal of wisdom in what you said about marriage and parenting. Those are the two hardest jobs we can have and it is an evolutionary process for both. It takes great humility to be a good parent and/or spouse. ❤

AWE you two are so cute together. Honestly your love for each other is very obvious, you genuinely seem to like each other. I've been watching your channel since you first started Megan & i see real growth & maturity in each of you & in your relationship. Im married 44years so i have an idea of what it takes & i think you guys have it. May our good Lord continue his blessings on you both & your family. ❤❤

I so enjoyed this..the channel does so well because of you Megan... even as a Grandma I've added things to my life after watching you( recipes. decorating..life chats...visions...) .so you appeal not just to your age group but us oldies too !! That's so nice. We've done 50yrs of marriage and now its amazing to watch our kids parent !

My mom had me pay rent once I graduated so I was 17. We are Christians. The lesson from my single mom was that learning to handle money (I also was paying for my own vehicle). Also to show I didn't need to rush out of the home and start my own life. If I couldn't handle the commitment of her small "rent" what would it be like when I move out for good.

I loved the way Josh looked at you Megan when you were talking about being attracted to one another 😊❤

My husband is Catholic Brazilian. It’s cultural that kids work and live at home during and post university until they either get married or move to a different city to work. I like the idea of having kids 20+ pay a nominal amount every month to help with household expenses. Some parents have their kids pay a nominal fee monthly and put it in a savings account for them to move out (pay a down payment, help with wedding, etc.)

Even us Baptists have kids who turn their backs on ‘religion “ at times. Both of our kids left the church for a bit, but both have returned to God. They have to individually get to the point where they acknowledge their need for God in their lives. Give them the foundation and trust Him for the rest of it. Thanks, Josh and Megan. Love your values❤

Raising your family so beautifully is a spiritual gift!❤️❤️❤️

It’s so fun when Josh is this involved with the video!

I love what Josh said about prayer and reading the Bible. Prayer that is uninformed by the Word of God is going to be ineffective for the most part. The Word should direct and inform our prayer. Prayer must be in agreement with God, so knowing His Word is the key. I'm glad to hear Josh is digging into the Bible more.

I’m an oldest married to a perfect middle and he is the most incredible person! He is also endlessly patient with me which I think really helps 😂

I love "passionately discussing"

I just loved listening to you both interacting together. It showed how well you get along and work as a married couple. It was beautiful.

Oh my goodness Megan!! Your outlook on expectations! My husband says I'm negative, I just say I'm mentally preparing myself for the worst case scenario. Then I'm pleasantly surprised if it's bad but not awful 😂😅 This was great you two! Wonderful chat!

Josh is so neat! His best Q and A yet. This was fun Megan.

I am an oldest and my husband is a youngest. 😳 there is a HUGE difference between us and how we do things, especially parenting.

I absolutely love these videos with both you and Josh. He is funny and I love the REAL talk between the both of you

Megan - I believe being a mother is a spiritual gift. Not only do you teach your viewers, you're teaching your children.

I love watching you and Josh. You guys honestly remind me of my husband and I. You guys are VERY really and not fake. Thank you for that. Yes, you can tell that you guys are in love and definitely care for each other and your family. I'm praying for a healthy lil one.

Loved this Q&A! You two are so encouraging and relatable. My husband and I are both the oldest children in our families as well. I really appreciate what you said about taking trips as couples - so true! ❤ Happy baby watching! Hope and pray that everything goes well for you.

Our daughter and son in law moved in with us when he developed a medical condition and they needed help. They lived with us for 4 years (they were 25 & 31 when they moved in). We asked that they pay the power bill which they did the whole time they lived with us. They've moved into their own home now, but I had no problem asking them to help out when they were here

Thank you so much for these Q & A's! You both live what you believe, your marriage, and how you both raise your children is such a wonderful example of God in your lives!

I’m the oldest married to the oldest, we married 41 years ago aged 19 and 21. My husband was in the army and was medically discharged 6 years after we married. He hasn’t worked since then suffering from PTSD and lots of other problems. We have 3 adults and 11 grandkids and love to have family around all the time.

I watch your channel because you encourage me in this season of mama hood, my home is not the most appealing either, but I am learning to love my home and try to create a safe and warm environment for my family. I stumbled on your channel a while ago, before becoming a mom and I love it! ❤

This was just adorable, as are you two. I truly enjoyed this. I love your take on life, marriage, kids. Well done, guys!

My husband and I are both oldest children, we have a similar dynamic as you both. Love it, that both of you can be yourself with each other. Same with my husband, we can be ourselves and work on things together

I enjoyed helping my parents pay the bills. It made me feel important. I lived in the house they worked hard for. They spent so much into me growing up, and now was my chance to repay some of it . I feel it also taught me responsibility.

Once again your home is beautiful! It truly saddens me to hear you say that your kitchen is “beat up.” I have children your age and I have taught my kids to appreciate what they have and be careful with their words. There may be people watching your channel that have much less than you and a home that is truly “beat up” and dream of having a kitchen as nice as yours. You wouldn’t want someone else to see what they have as less than… I never wanted my kids to hear me say anything negative about their home as if I was ashamed or unhappy. I was always thankful for what I had and when I could afford to make updates and changes then I did but never said anything about it being done because it looked awful, etc.. Our kids are listening to all we say. God has blessed you so much! I am praying for a smooth delivery of your baby!

This is great! 😄 I watch your content because of your down-to-earth and driven personality! Honestly, love seeing less of the aesthetically pleasing perfect houses and more just solid, godly family environments/homes! 👍🏼 Thanks for your awesome content and all your hard work!!

My husband happened to be nearby when I watched this we enjoyed it! Chuckled at a few points, just relating to married life! Love your videos!

You are proof that you can be stylish and modest while pregnant! Loved this vlog!

That’s hilarious “passionately discussing” !

I had a job starting at age 14. My parents didn't make me get one, I wanted to because I wanted to go to college and I knew my parents couldn't help me. When I graduated highschool I paid my way through college. Between college and getting married (less than a year) I lived at home and paid rent. My parents couldn't help pay for my wedding so I paid for it (it was very simple, dessert reception, but lovely) and for my wedding gift they gave me back the rent I had paid. It was sweet and I really appreciated it. My parents never made me feel like we were poor or anything. They were very good living in a tight budget (my dad is a pastor) and and it prepared me to know how to handle money. My husband and I have never been in debt. We currently rent and are saving to buy. My husband is a pastor and we have 4 kids. I hope my kids can say the same thing that I say about my parents:)

24:14 - My parents had us pay 10% of our pay in rent. I definitely felt like it was a valuable life lesson! Little did we know that they were saving it for us. They gave it all back to us when we moved out. 😁

Josh has the best attitude - he's definitely the calm one!

Your home is great and it is also ok to update or renovate it. But I watch you because you’re interesting! You’re raising your kids like my husband and I did! You’re doing great!!! Keep it up!!! 💕

Mrs. Ruth Graham once said …if my husband & I agree on everything one of us was unnecessary in the marriage!! And men & women are different & the children need both of you! The spiritual gift is sometimes your talent too! I enjoy having people over & I do enjoy cooking for others! I love studying the Bible & God gives me opportunities to share it in small groups. Josh was the most relaxed here. Loved your interaction!

How beautiful I love when Josh said that He wants her wife to love the house that he is providing ❤❤❤ so cute !!!

A marriage counselor told my husband and myself to practice this. When you come home after work, which ever one of you work out of home, the first 5-10 minutes are for mom and dad. Be deliberate about being face to face and reconnect- share things about your day. It is very easy once the littles arrive, to greet them first and be busy with them. But it is actually very healthy for the children to see momma and daddy prioritize each other, before moving on to them. I know this is long, but had a tremendous impact on our family so wanted to share.

1) I’m here for your personality. The first video I watch was my curiosity about your Mennonite beliefs. You…your personality, temperament, sweetness, etc… is why I stayed. I enjoy watching info about what you’re doing to your house or whatever but it’s because I already like you as to why I watch. If I didn’t care for you and your personality I wouldn’t care to hear about your house and life either. I’ve learned from my personal experience at watching videos that when I really click with the person and find them interesting, I stick around for the long haul. I can imagine sitting in your sunroom with you and chatting it up. That’s why I stick around. 2) Your husband is so lovely. I hope to marry someone similar to his temperament and simplicity. The way he says what he feels and thinks and isn’t complicated is so great. 😊 And “I just want to provide a house my wife loves to live in”!!!! Oh my heart! So so sweet. If I was your sister or mom, I would be so grateful that God have you such a beautiful man. 🥰 I’m not related to you and I’m so happy you have him. 😁

Loved this. I always find other people's perspectives so interesting. Hope you and baby have a great labor and delivery!🫶🏻

We live in South Africa, isn't Mennonite and my parents told us from a young age: when we start earning money from working and live with then, we are going to pay them 10% of our monthly income. I think it is good to let the children contribute to the expenses when they have a job and still live at home. And then obviously they also need to help with cleaning and keeping the house neat and clean.

Loved your video! You both get along so well that I think you should write a parenting book and marriage book. I loved how supportive Josh is of your KZfaq channel. How willing he is to step in and help out with the kids, is priceless. Also, Josh was right about people not watching your channel for your house, although I would trade homes with you in a heartbeat! I started watching you because I didn't know anything about Mennonites and was interested to learn. I love the way you focus on the important things in life like family, taking care of the home and just making the job of being a mom wonderful. You lift my spirits in every video and remind me that what I do as a mom every day is the most important job in the world. Thank you for creating your channel to help other moms find their worth in the world! I'm so excited for your next video about the new baby!

Y’all are so great!! Great advice and I loved that Josh said, read the Word. The Word of God is what changes you from the inside out!! Yes, prayer is important…but if you don’t know the LORD and His word, you aren’t going to grow in Christ! It’s adorable seeing your love for one another! Y’all compliment each other as husband and wife! Y’all are a beautiful example of what marriage is intended to be!! God bless y’all, your marriage and your family!! 🩵🙏🏼🩵

I’ll watch 10 years from now!🙋🏼‍♀️

I lived this video so much. You two are cute together. Yes we all go through difficult times in marriage and I am grateful for your inspiration. Hugs to both

Amazing couple, love the way you talk and complete each other. Blessings and Prayers to your beautiful family. ❤

You amazing together, so nice to see you both open to conversation, God bless your beautiful family Praying for you and hope one day we can meet with our families

Josh said it beautifully, we watch your channel for the awesome content, for you Megan being so genuine and fun! For being a good mom and wife and for caring so much about your family 🌻

Anyone else wondering what reeeeaaaally happens on “Saturday mornings”? 😂❤

Zum Thema geistliche gaben: was ohr beschrieben habt:Aufgaben zu sehen und anzupacken, ist eine gabe🎉

My husband and I are both the oldest and we have been married for almost 25 years. We do have some 'passionate discussions' :D but generally we get on very well and complement one another nicely in terms of personality and style.

Spiritual gifts..I believe you can operate in many gifts and that there is a great blessing in focusing on excersizing the gifting you are strongest in.

Thank you for working so hard with your content! I’m just getting started with my own channel and yours is truly inspiring!!❤ Also, I will be praying for your family and baby number 4.🙏 May God bless you!!☺️✝️

I so enjoyed this video. It’s fun to see you two together and the love you clearly share ♥️

I always enjoy your Q&A's with Josh. This one was particular sweet with the chocolate strawberries and lovely glasses filled with sparkling apple cider. ❤ Spending time and thinking what your spouse would enjoy and little things you do in a marriage, makes your marriage a safe place. ❤ It was good to hear from both perspectives, to some challenging and other humorous.questions and responses. Thank for your doing Q&A.

This is my third comment on this video 😂 but I’d like to say I also had been feeling I wasn’t close to God anymore even though I was still praying and reading the Bible (a chapter here and there) In October I decided to pray more, read my Bible more (I got a beautiful new Bible , micron pens and highlighters to get excited about) and every day on way home I stop by at my church for 15-20 minutes. I started praying all through the day while at work (infant teacher) and I have such a new love for God! I cannot wait to get off of work and open my new Bible!

We are both oldest with my boyfriend and living together has been going great for 3 years so far.

This was fun. The love that you two seem to have for one another really is something special. 💖

hey girl- Oh I just loved this! Y'all are the best😀😘 So funny together to. Have a wonderful weekend🥰

I really enjoyed this one, and learned so much about Josh, a wonderful man. Stay in love, keep the romance, and always be each others best friend.

Josh is very wise and funny ❤❤❤

Josh is like my Dad very laid-back and takes one day at a time.

I love your kitchen! I always admire how cute it is when you cook.

I think your house is beautiful and also the kitchen and waiting to fix it makes you more relatable. I stopped watching those moms with fancy places.

I paid, (board as it was called way back then, ) 1/3 of my wages as soon as I started working. When my children started to earn their own money they also started to pay towards the cost of the utilities and food. In their case it was 1/4 of what ever they earned. Plus they paid for their own "luxuries".

My sister and her husband are both the oldest 😊perfect match! They are both very driven and in charge. ❤ Love your channel! Your Awesome

Anxiously waiting for the baby update !!!

Y'all are 😍 cute! Advice I want to follow: "I think that I'm right, but I could be wrong."Getting my own way at expense of the relationship is not worth it. Being right can be overrated. ❤

Love these videos with Josh .. strawberries ❤️❤️..praying g for a healthy little one to join this family soon .. love the content .. and I think y'all are the perfect example of Mennonite family .. God first wise with money . Family values .. time together .. keep up the great work !!! 🙏❤️❤️

Great video Megan & Josh!! My husband and I are both oldest, we both have a hard time admitting wrong and compromising. But we've figured out what works for us :)

Minute 19 had me cracking up. Y'all are hilarious 😅

That's the most I ever saw Josh laugh. It was nice to see that side of him.

You and Josh are really good together. It is a blessing to see how much he loves you.❤

I love your Q&As Megan!! They are so informative and helpful! Praying for a healthy baby.🙂

I got married right out of nursing school so I never paid rent to my folks , but my brother did.Then my parents putr it in a savings acct and gave it back to him when he got married.

I grew up with a parent who demanded we support her when we became old enough to get jobs. My husband, and I, did not charge our kids "room and board" until they graduated college and had full time jobs. While in school they needed to concentrate on school, not supporting parents. We taught them that if they wanted something that was a "want" and not a "need" they had to earn the money for it and pay for it themselves. Megan, nothing wrong with "screen time". If the kids want to cuddle with Josh while watching a hockey game that is ok. They are having quality time. No need to structure their time so strictly that they have no down time. It is necessary to be able to learn to control their own time. My husband, and I, also did not allow the kids to sleep in our bed. I agree, the parents room is not communal space. I love your house and have loved seeing the updates you have done over the past few years. Don't worry about what people say about spending money, it is none of their business. You work hard for your money, spend it.

I'm 25 almost 26. One way I help out without paying rent is helping run my family's business. Although, it's NOT because I'm against paying my family rent. It's because most of my "rent" money funds go towards medical bills and such. But I agree, children should help

Jerry and I are both the oldest sibling. We have been married 53 years. The hardest years are when you are young married couple raising a family. Stay strong and keep the conversation flowing and always put God first❣️✝️🙏🏻

Yes, when I switched from my business phone over to personal it took years and they finally just said to leave it a business phone and use it as a personal one. I'm thinking it could go back to multi - generations living together and everyone contributing to all the bills again. Housing is so much! We've been told here in Utah anyways that if you haven't bought a house yet then it can't be done. It can only happen if you have equity already.

I think your amazing couple, it is nice to see Q and A. It is just nice see josh put his part to it.

I love your Q&A's... Both of you are so great together. You truly have love and respect for each other. I love learning about your culture.

Great date night idea! You guys should do a date night off of camera like this again and try to enjoy calmness. You guys could try the adventure challenge couples addition if your looking for more dates to do together. Hockey games on tv are fun! You can make nachos and really get into it. It's good for your boys to know about sports and if you can get your girl into sports too it will be apprciated by her future husband one day! I feel like it's very easy to get stuck in survival mode and checking off lists but there is no real rush. We put such pressure on ourselves by striving for perfection. This day and age it's almost impossible not to compare ourselves to others, but it's so important to try not to and to live life at a slower pace. It's not a race. I do not watch you for the way your house looks, just so you know. I love your authentic self. I can appreciate all the planning and effort that you guys have collectively put into it and the nice esthetic, but it could be so much worse. I bought an older house and from the 50s and there has been so much non esthetic work that we've had to put into it ie, boiler, lighting, ac, insulation, windows and the list goes on and on. I've barely touched the esthetic work in our house and we've lived here 6 years now, so if anyone knows your frustration of looking at something thats not the way you like it to be it's me and I understand your husband and how annoying it is to always have the jobs lingering over head, and a lot of the time we make it into a bigger job when its something new to us, or something we have put off for a while and it can be alot overcoming those hurdels. I think you and your husband have such a beautiful relationship. I think you've caught a really great guy who communicates very well with you and who seems like a simple man to please. Don't sweat the small stuff. It doesnt matter where you are. All that matters is that your together. You guys also go on alot of vacations and get opportunity to explore city life. It's not all that it's cracked up to be. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Raising a family in the city comes with lots of dangers and a harder way of life. Share your apple juice!! I think he probably already gave you boy cooties. Lol I'm excited for your family and your newest little one.

Josh, you got it. Happy wife happy life.

What a lovely vlog, my husband had his own business as carpenter and home maintenance and I consider myself very blessed for all the work he did in house to make it a home for us all. He’s 77 and not in good health anymore but we have a beautiful home. I did laugh when you said carpenter or mechanic both our boys went down that route also our son in law so we don’t have to worry about my car either and one of then can do anything computer wise so we are well looked after. You and Josh are so loving to each other and no it shouldn’t go away I still love my husband very much, I have a saying from my husband to Josh “happy wife, happy life” yes there will always be heated discussion but that’s fine, in my opinion you are a beautiful couple with good morels, you believe in God and are wonderful parents. Our children no longer go to church, we are Catholics and feel that we have given them a good start in life and I pray that one day they will return to church and yes you are so right social media has so much to answer for we never had the same problems with our children as they do with theirs. Still praying for a safe delivery for you and your little boy. Every time you post I keep thinking have you had baby yet. And going back to paying rent ours just paid £20 a week but that was over 25 years ago 😂 xxxxxx

I agree with everything you said, Josh. If YOU didn't keep Megan grounded she would fly away! lol God bless you guys
