Yes, you’re right. I learned this too. My only advice for younger women being now in my early 40s is to freeze your eggs in your 20s and 30s. This way you have options for later in life. I couldn’t do it because of money and then the pandemic then now it’s less effective. Warm wishes!

Thank you.. As someone who's been married before, and has been through a lot of stuff with recent relationships and disappointments, I needed to see this. I may have put too much weight on "finding my family" that I might need to actually let it go.

Maybe your standards are unrealistic.

@@cmhardin37 Have thought about that. 👍

Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏽 which resonates sooo much. I'm 45 years old and also still desiring to be married and having at least one child. This video is just on time for us all through this journey 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 Sending everyone love, strength and warm hugs 🥰. Keep rising and shining always no matter what 💛❤️‍🔥🌠⭐️

Well said

@@sherriflemming3218 Thank you!

There are the window shoppers and intebtial daters. Susan Winters has a podcast on this.

Intentional daters

I'm 51... :/

From somebody who is reached master level on Audible, I can attest to this. Out of all the books, I’ve ever listen to, it is one of the best, it is one of those books that’s better to listen than to read.

Ah ok. Narrated by Matthew McConaughey. At first I wondered which Matthew, lol

While also selling you a Lincoln car? 😅

Link please

thank you i have been thinking about this book lately

That’s a fantastic testimony! How’d y’all meet?

Number 2 is hard in society now days

Love yourself more than the one you are with…

My mother taught me never to chase a man! I am 77 years old and divorced once. My second husband and I were married 46 years till he passed from Covid 2 years ago….he was the best! Now I have a couple of gentlemen interested and I prefer to stay single…too old to start again.

On point

I dont agree with that. If you find out for yourself that the meaning of life is love (in all its forms), one component of that is romantic love, and in order to have a sense of completion and to feel honest happiness it is more than a requirement. Yes you can be happy with yourself, but there comes a point where you want (need) to share that with someone. What point is there in happiness if it cant be shared with anyone? Is it really happiness then?

I hear the same bs from male Pickup artists. In the end *somebody* has to do the *chasing*😂.

@@mr.t993 😂 well.. good point, but when there’s a mutual attraction is different you both would be there for each other. I believe That mantra is more for people that keep chasing without receiving anything in return or continue in toxic patterns getting back with their exes and chasing people that at the end is not a good match. When you attract and interact with people with your same energy is different 😊 I don’t know if that makes sense 😄

Good explanation

@@mr.t993but when you do, it will be from a genuine place instead of ego

You’re just lazy and expect everything handed to you

How do you let go??😢

Thank you so much for this 💛

Wow as a 29 year old woman who has just about let go I needed to see this 🎉❤🙏☺️ I’ve completely focused on me in 2023 and I have THRIVED like never before! Dare I say this has been the best year of my life so far. No coincidence. I’m all geared up for this new incoming decade 🎉

@@annebowles550 meditation

Which matthew now? 😂

I was already signed up but this was a great video too💝🙏 ps: I figured out your theme song & now it’s on my fave list❣️

How did you drop back into my feed/life when I needed building up the most 😭❤️ can I join the 30 day community still? I'll just keep going afterwards on my own to make up the time?!

How can we ask a question or in contact

I Wish Matthews event was on the weekend, I had to work that when he had it 😢

Good for you! You will not regret it

How was he acting with you?

39, no kids, never married, still believing I'll find love, BUT this time with the right mindset. I try openness, vulnerability and optimism instead of thinking badly of everyone... ("he's just gonna hurt me anyway..." Well, what if not?)

Geriatric pregnancy is where you would be if you get pregnant now

@@MrKrushgutzlol at thinking you have something to add to these two ladies’ knowledge of pregnancy after 35. Go get back to making your woman miserable or chafing yourself.

She never said anything aboot pregnancy. That was really mean spirited, coach. You dont think she is aware of her age and what having progeny now entails? Lol

Haha I messed up with my ex she’s thinks we are a dead end

Totally relate to this situation. Remember you don't have to accept being single until you die. The right partner was meant for you and will find you if you're open to it. 🙏

Reminds me that scene in "My Best Friend's Wedding" when Rupert Everett tells Julia Roberts "Michael is chasing Kimmy and you're chasing Michael but who's chasing you? No one, get it? He wants Kimmy." It sounded harsh but she had to accept that her attempt to break them up for her own selfish reasons was useless 😂 I always think of that when someone says they are romantically pursuing another person. Are they pursuing you back? No? Then move on 😆

I feel your comment. At 48 I start to accept precisely this one bit at a time for month after month. It finally feels ok to be alone, I hope this is not just giving up.

hey Dee, why would you believe that. We get what we believe. So, we should keep up the faith that someone who is the best for me, is coming. Have it rock strong and you will have the person.

Thinking I may never have a family and kids is so hard for me to even contemplate. It's so sad, depressing and lonely to think about. Every time iij try accepting it I feel as though I'm grieving the deaths of actual family members so I give up trying to accept that. What I do is just focus on the moment and hope that one day at 80 I'm not looking back on a long, empty, lonely life.

Rehear this again prrhaps

That’s God

I’ve seen it! There’s hope!

'I would like to see the love story enduring as life's vicissitudes presses on.' This is so true! Most stories end after they fall in love. They don't even continue into the 'honeymoon phase' - let alone the rest of their lives. Since people don't see it as much in real life, it would be good to have examples of how couples work through the hard times in the stories we watch. Even 'The Notebook', which is supposed to be about a lifelong romance, just shows them falling in love - then skips to showing them still in love at the end of their life. (I didn't really like this one, and thought their relationship was very problematic from the beginning. But, at least the characters acknowledge this themselves. And it is sweet how he's still dedicated to her even though she doesn't remember him most of the time.) In the book, 'The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts' by Gary Chapman, he talks about how people think their marriage will be like a fairytale. They don't realize that relationships naturally transition from being full of excitement at the beginning, to a more steadfast kind of love, and that everyone has rough times to work through. I have seen some shows and movies that depict lasting relationships that deal with struggles, though. • Pixar's 'Up' (the very first part of the movie) • 'This is Us' (Not all the relationships last, but some do, and even the ones that don't show them going through ups & downs.) • 'The Vow' (Kind of, for him) • 'Victoria' (I've only seen the PBS series version. It was great. There are others about Albert & Queen Victoria) • 'All Creatures Great & Small' (also PBS: 2020 & ongoing. It's mostly about the vet practice, but there's a romance, too) • '50 First Dates' (as the name implies, it's mostly about the courtship phase, but it does show a little of their married life at the end) • 'Spanglish' (Sort of. IIRC, this one starts in the middle of a marriage with problems, so it's more of a drama than a 'love story') I think that's part of it - the stories about enduring romances turn into family dramas. Also, it's hard to fit a whole lifetime into a couple hours, so movies usually just cover one or the other. • 'Home Economics' (Another family drama / sit-com - but you can see that the couples are still in love & work to keep their romances going even with life & kids taking most of their time.) Can anybody else think of some good ones?

It's sad that you've never even seen enduring love in real life. I'm sure you're not alone. I guess I'm lucky to know people who really are still in love. Well, not so much luck, as I think it's because most of the people I know are religious, & our church focuses a lot on families & improving relationships. We constantly hear about selfless love, forgiveness, repentance (aka apologizing & fixing mistakes), being kind, helping others, sacrifice, patience, unity, etc. Religion is really about relationships (Love God, & Love Others - the rest of it is how to accomplish those two goals, which brings joy & peace).
