Q&A with Chris & Lisa Gorsky
QUESTION |
CHRIS’S ANSWER |
LISA’S ANSWER |
| Biggest pet peeve? | I’m terrified to answer this, it’s going to come back to haunt me! Lisa is a control freak… Everything has to be done her way, and the hardest thing about it is that her way is not consistent, so it’s impossible to figure out! | My biggest pet peeves are either his socks or outdoor clothing. He takes them off at the door and leaves them. Without hanging them up or putting them away! |
| The funniest thing about your partner? | Her husband… Ok, so maybe not! She is hilarious at night when she gets tired, she finally lets her guard down and will say anything… Late evening is probably the funniest moments we have as a couple. | Nearly everything Chris does or says is funny. To pinpoint one thing wouldnt be fair. |
| Biggest worry about the challenge? | Honestly, it’s time. Life is busy, and I know that I will have to remind myself to stop and take the time to put an honest effort into this. | My biggest fear is not doing the challenge with the right motive daily. I want to do it to learn not just to get it over with for the day. |
| What do you hope to get out of the challenge? | I just think that we are new in this marriage journey and what better way to start then laying down this foundation for ourselves. | Aside from hoping to finish this time. I hope to learn how to become a better partner in our journey together. |
| What is something you’ve learned to never say to your partner? | “I think I’ll watch the hockey game” When I say these words it usually results in the longest list of things around our house that all of a sudden need to get done… Secretly, I am quite impressed at how quickly she can come up with a list of phantom jobs! | Chris cannot stand that I “always” use absolutes when sharing a story. He “never” listens to me when I use them  |
| What I love about my partner | Everything! But in case that answer is not what you are looking for… She is an overcomer, nothing knocks her down and out. She always rises over everything! | I love that Chris is accepting and caring to everyone. He’s probably the kindest person I’ve ever met. |

I have to be honest and say that you’re really negative towards Chris in your comments. I see alot of growth needed in your relationship. I see this in the video and in your answers on the pet peeves section. “Chris NEVER listens to me”. And you say you’re perfect in every way? No one is. The easiest way to crush a guy’s heart is by returning the gifts he bought you. My Lord.

I want to thank Chris and Lisa for being great sports! They are a great couple and it is clear that they are very much in love and they are not afraid to be real and authentic. There is a little thing called sarcasm and I’m glad that it is alive and well in your relationship!!
I look forward to following along on your journey!

Hey Melanie,
Thanks for your comment, I can see how you might think that but let me assure you that the way you see it is in fact not the case! When Lisa and I decided to take part in the Love Dare we decided that we would be completely honest and completely “us”.
We understand that our sense of humour will not be for everyone and that some may relate to us while others will not! One of the things that I love most about my marriage to Lisa is that we are very secure in who we are and we can laugh at ourselves and each other. Being able to laugh through moments helps us to grow closer together…
Melanie, I hope that this clarifies things for you and that you enjoy your own path through the Love Dare!

Hi Chris,
Sorry if my comment offended you. I watched the video again and realize that you’re right, everyone has weaknesses. Everyone. Thanks for being so forgiving. I’m sorry again. I wish you the best. Happy New Year to you and Lisa and wishing you the best on this challenge.

Howdy folk
I saw your interview and you folks seem to have it all together. Always remember you’re in a partnership and it’s a 2 way street. Talk to one another and work together as a team. My wife and I did for 40 years before I lost her and we really didn’t have too many problems. Lord only knows it wasn’t all peaches and cream but we made it. Be best friends with one another. Chris if you have a problem talk to Lisa and Lisa if you have a problem talk to Chris. Believe me it worked for us. Good luck to both of you. You deserve it.

Howard,
Thanks for the encouragement… Lisa and I are still so new at this that we certainly love it when someone with plenty of experience can help us out…. I don’t know if we have it all together or not, but I do know that we both love each other unconditionally and love spending our time together! We like to give each other a hard time and poke fun at each other (it keeps us on our toes) but this is a great experience for us to hopefully grow together…. Thanks again for checking in and please do it again soon!

I love the sarcasm!! You guys are two of a kind and we love you. We’re supporting you on this challenge through the good and that bad…You’re almost to day 6!!

Hi You Two!
My husband would also have said in the past that I can be controlling – however, over the 12 years of our marriage, we realize – or are still realizing at times – that we are each strong in certain areas and respect that these are strengths in our marriage. For example: Michael is very computer literate, mechanical, math; he’s an engineer so everything in this realm – I rely on his expertise – and he in turn looks to me for my strengths in organizing, creativity, cuisine, planning etc… I think before we use to see our strengths as “controlling” but now realize these are our strengths and they support our marriage. Just a thought for you two ….
