Thank you so much for doing these episodes and honestly sharing your struggles and victories. This is clarifying what God is speaking to me about love and relationships and being a godly women. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

This was so good. Ms Laurie, love your nuggets of wisdom. Ms Cece, what and awesome topic!

Thank you all for sharing

This was so so good!

4 going on 5 years and 12 years together with my husband, these are words of wisdom ladies. Its wise to consider and learn from those who have gone ahead of us 🙏💙 thanks for the upload Better Together!

I understand this wholeheartedly and am walking this out as well. Praying for you and your marriage. ❤️

The Lord's been speaking to me about remembering where He brought me from, and how Jesus loves us regardless of our past. Jesus is the ultimate love and security behind a marriage made and built in Him. He also has been reminding me of how Hosea was told to love someone that wasn't very loveable. We are the wayward backstabbing person that nailed Jesus to the cross. God help us to love others!!! even when they don't deserve it, and know Jesus is the ultimate one carrying us.

When Bob and I got married. Neither one of us knew Jesus. After we were married about three years. I accepted Jesus. Bob wanted to stay married. It was really hard but he finally came to the Lord. It has been wonderful. I would do it all over again. It hasn't been easy.

I'd be interested to know how you are getting on now xx have things changed?

I hope it's going much better for you! 🤎

Girl me too. And it’s so insane I was just praying yesterday and today for God to help me to be a better wife to my husband just to run into this video today.

Amen. One thing we can do is simply ask our spouse how can I love you better, how can I be a better spouse for you? ❤️💯

I have the same struggles as a new wife as well

One of the best things I ever found as a new wife was the book and study guide - the power of a praying wife by stormie omartian. I 1000% recommend it.

And by the Grace of God the only marriage in your life .❤

This truly was a blessing to listen too

Thank you

Hello ma'am, just wanted to say that you are very very beautiful .

I wish I would have heard this before I married 3 times. But God....if he sends me a Godly man I am ready now. Praise the Lord and if he does I am good with God alone 💜🙏🏾

God be first, at all times ' marraige to a person' other than the church,. Wow' ' its Much different' Faith makes it better,. Right "" ", you don't want , "your spouse to leave you: ' the bible says God ' will never leave you. nor' forsake you. In John 14: 18

Amen! God first, spouse second, children third!

Hey, I’ve been married for almost 3 years. For me I always wanted to share my life with someone so I naturally love it. We overcame big struggles, even before marriage. From overcoming we are even closer. It’s not about feeling forced or obligated to love, it is a choice that nourishes your marriage. It challenges our selfish nature of “ what’s in this for me?” because God says a successful marriage is putting the needs of your partner first for their well-being, and I’ve found that to be true in my short experience. So I would say the “good” aspects of marriage would depend on you uniquely and what you value. In my opinion I love the companionship, joy, laughter, healing from childhood wounds together and determining to have a healthier family life than we experienced (we both have rough backgrounds), praying for each other and encouraging each other. Those are a few! God bless you and enjoy being single, I definitely did.

From experience don't do it thank me later

I've been married almost 22 years. Yes, there are many many positives! 1) God uses your spouse to perfect His character in you 2) Companionship! A consistent presence who loves you and always has your back (provided you chose wisely) 3) Someone to walk with you through life 4) laughter!!! Someone to laugh with all the time 5) Shared memories! Someone with whom you build a lifetime full of shared experience 6) Someone who knows you inside and out and still chooses every day to love your sinful self 7) Shared burdens. Someone who shares your pain, empathizes with you, and walks with you through it.... There are many many benefits! I would marry my husband over and over and over again. It's worth it!!

@@Jo-lp1px well said..you spoke truth..

@@robynloverde6992 amen, I'm with you girl well said

Life as a whole is not effortless, so marriage won’t be either. Just like everything else, marriage is work. But with the right person, it’s work in well doing. Just like someone who’s going to college to study for their degree and the result is a successful career and great income. The type of work, effort, & dedication is well worth it. Your marriage should be the same. If you’re losing yourself or your relationship with God, then it’s not the right marriage for you! Hope this helps

When people say marriage is "work," it can sound like a chore. But that's not really how it is, when people say marriage is work it simply means you have to put in the time, effort, and attention to continue to grow in marriage. With the right person you still have to navigate life together and still ensure you both are growing together and growth takes work. It means you both are working on weak areas and learning in grace how to strengthen in those areas. Work means you're always showing up as best as possible. Anything God gives us requires some sort of work to grow it successfully.

It can flow. But that doesn't relieve either party of making choices that benefit the partnership. It will require compromise and careful considerations. The flow comes when both parties understand this.
