Normalize telling people "out of respect for my wife/husband, we have to discontinue our friendship". Nothing personal against you, but everything is personal when it comes to my spouse!!! If my spouse is uncomfortable regarding ANYONE, I have to cut ties with that person because my spouse comes before EVERYONE after God!!!

We have to stop “watering down” what the Bible says and what’s acceptable in the Church. Saying that you are using secular music to “reach souls” is nonsense. God doesn’t want us to sin or not filter what we listen to just to bring people into the kingdom. We do so by demonstrating righteousness and striving to be more like him. We’re saying God is not Big enough for us to stay saved and still preach to the masses.

I think this can potentially be a beautiful union . After Jabari let go of these women “friends “. Men can often be naive . But at some point in his life and in marriage ( ideally before ) in the same manner you’ve got to leave your mom and dad , you must first let go of these friends to cleave to your wife . What else can other women serve you outside of validation?

Jabari is for the streets. He has some growing up & healing to do. Jasmine protect your peace. Some women will make adjustments for a relationship while some men have a "take me as I am" type of attitude whether their behaviors are conducive to having a healthy relationship with their primarily partner or not.

I'm glad they're transparent about their past. However, I need to say this...we Christians need to do better when it comes to sexual purity. To be serving in Church and fornicating part-time is not God honoring. It happens too frequently in our churches. We need to be awaken to why it's so easy for people to lack that self-control. I see Jasmine as a good Church girl, I wonder what pushed her into having sex with her fiance in the first place. I was all excited when she started talking about her taking the Bible seriously, but my heart sunk, knowing she had already tasted the forbidden fruit🫣. Not judging, but I wish they had touched on what triggered them to start having sex in the first place while still serving in church. Was it lack of boundaries, did they move in together? This could free some younger ones from going the same path. Also, from they comments, it sound like they live together...I stand to be corrected. If true, that alone could lead them into temptation. Anyway, praying God guide their relationship.

@lisacox3750 7 ай бұрын

I don't blame people when the Churches have NEVER done a good job of explaining sexuality. It's not about lack of self control. It's about biology. Our bodies allow us to start procreating at around 11-13. Think about that for real. Our bodies (not anything we have control over) already prepare us to bring life into the world starting between 11-13. No one talks about this in church. Hormones are all over the place. Hormones that are created there for a reason ...and we don't have control over them. If we didn't get aroused we wouldn't even want to have sex to even procreate. Testerone levels peak at 18-19 which makes sense why those are the ages when they are most likely to want to have sex. Let's keep it all the way real. It's not nasty - it's biological. This is how it should be talked about in church with teenagers. Not shame them for their bodies doing what it does NATURALLY. Purity culture is NOT the answer. Honesty about biology is the answer. Explaining the importance of wanting to save yourself for your future life partner is the answer. Let's start here: by most accounts Mary who was the mother of Jesus was engaged to Joseph and pregnant with him when she was either 14 or 15. Marinate on that for a moment- and that would not have been unusual. In the early 1970s, the median age for men to get married was 23 and it was 21 for women. Basically the point is...back in the day people were marrying during their peak hormone years. Now, people are holding off marriage for so many reasons - and their bodies can't hold off like that. Their bodies can't stop doing what it naturally does because you haven't gotten married yet and you are 28. That's not how that works. What people should be doing instead is teaching the need for wanting marriage and not holding off. Let's talk about WHY people are holding off on marriage in the first place. That's the real conversation...because if people don't see the value in marriage and are holding off for those reasons....if we could shift that mentality that would solve the issue. Whey are Christian people not feeling the need to get married at 21 or 22 like they used to? Let's start there. Back in the day, men didn't wait to get married because they "weren't settled yet "- they figured it out. I'm not saying that's all good, but I'm not saying it's all bad either. I think there is some good that can be learned from getting married young and figuring things out together as a couple and learning together. You truly build TOGETHER. That's lost on the younger generations. I'm 43 and I see it all the time.

@praizeyah 7 ай бұрын

Genuine question: Why do you perceive that Jasmine was pushed into sex? What if she was the initiator?

@roselineasante614 7 ай бұрын

@@praizeyah I make that assumption because of her partner's sexual past. Assuming she was the one who initiated sex, if the partner was not that sexually active, and also strongly believed the importance of waiting to get married to have sex, he may have prevented that from happening. This is a very common occurrence, when a non-sexually active partner engage with a partner with a wild sexual past, more likely than not, the one with more experience can influence the other negatively.

@chenanigans 7 ай бұрын

The biggest red flag that is so obvious that everyone seems to be missing is they WERE the friends that the topic at hand is about. They were the friends that we are all warned about. The friends we all have that uneasy feeling about. They would have been the ones that they would have told you not to worry about lol. This is why I don't trust any man that has a female friend/"homie"/"sister". That connection is different than their friendships with their male friends. It always will be and this is the ultimate risk. They can say in their friendship that they have no desire for each other whatsoever but that's never entirely the case. They usually have an active emotional relationship and let the right circumstances present themselves and it will inevitably lead to something more. Like this. Men and women can be associates and maybe friends of friends but friends friends/"besties"/"sister" Nah, y'all fooling yallselves and keeping them as a backup bae in all reality.

@atasteoftee 7 ай бұрын

Whew this is triggering for me their story reminds me of my last relationship. My ex was just like Jabari very charismatic, more friendship with women than men, and multiple engagements. And I expressed the same concerns that Jasmine had, (we even were in pre-martial counseling) and my ex would put “boundaries” around his friendships outta respect for me. But let me tell you that was not enough, my ex ended up cheating on me with one of his “friends”. Thank God I found out before we went thru with getting married. But what i learned from that relationship is if a man is only changing his “whorish” ways for the sake of you, THE CHANGE WILL NOT LAST!! He will eventually go back to his true nature. Only the power of the Holy Spirit can change a man’s nature. Also it should be a red flag when every women that he has dated before you, he has proposed to because what makes me so special you thought every girl was “the one” before me. What made your decision making so right this time around. Lastly don’t trust a man who doesn’t have strong male friendships. Who is he accountable to, who is giving him advice from a man’s perspective. I’m really praying for this couple bc although the wedding date is almost here it’s better to walk away before the I DO. Or even if they continue with the wedding I’m praying that there is significant change that they won’t have to go thru infidelity in their marriage.

If you’re only modifying your behavior just to have “peace” of mind or to avoid conflict with someone, what tends to happen is you become secretive and sneak around. Especially if you can’t understand why that behavior is wrong in the first place. I am not in a place to say whether this type of relationship can or will last. However, like you, I’m praying for this couple.

@kdellison43 5 ай бұрын

@@sunkissed6413 In the majority of situations like these if the person you’re in a relationship with is not transparent about ex’s and females/ males they call friends, that means they still have romantic ties with their ex’s and no boundaries with their so called friends. Neither partner should ever want each other to feel insecure about anyone that’s in their life and if they truly care for each other there should be complete transparency. At some point you should be able to meet friends and ex wives/ex husbands if they were married and had children. Those people should have complete respect for you and respect for your time and space with your partner. Your partner is the one who should demand it. If that’s not present in your relationship the buck stops with you.

I loved the interview, but I don’t agree with taking a song laced with curses to make it worship/ gospel song. To me it is crossing the line. I know a lot of people will say it’s not that serious but that’s why the standard for being a Christian is what it is today. I understand no one is perfect and will never be, however, if someone is fornicating, fighting, cursing, listening to music that glorifies that life, they should not be leading worship. Let God work on you first. Peoples lives and souls are at stake.

I don't believe there's a blanket answer for having opposite sex friends when you're married. It's personal to the relationship. If you're realistic with yourself and KNOW you have light to no boundaries, then you obviously can't. If your friends respect your spouse and boundaries are set, and there are no insecurities to work through then it may work for you. All I know is when my partner of many years left me for dead my friends were there to see my thru it so I value true friendships.

I ended my marriage because my ex-husband didn’t understand the dangers of emotional infidelity. Men think that cheating is just sexual. It isn’t. It’s ANY deep connection that you have with someone other than your spouse. Emotional intimacy can actually be more devastating. Ladies, never let a man manipulate you into thinking you’re imagining things between him and his ‘friend’. Listen to your intuition.

This was so good and a MUCH NEEDED topic of discussion!!!!!! When you implement EXTREME BOUNDARIES it eliminates soooo much unnecessary stuff!!!! So much! But, when a person has brokenness & areas of deliverance needed, they will never see this subject matter clearly. Some of these "friendships" are void fillers and when God is trying to do a new thing and finally connect you with your purpose partner, this can be super harmful to that endeavor and possibly result in a missed season!!! 😔😕 But, here's the kicker... you don't have to wait until you start dating to operate within boundaries. Single (in the Kingdom) doesn't mean free to do whatever. All things are lawful but not expedient. We should be free to proceed without all the fluff once God brings us our person. 🫶🏾

Given the way they started out I understand the concern and why boundaries definitely need to be set.

😂😂😂😂I thoroughly enjoyed this, blessings upon blessings. I do believe that Latteras telling his story was Jabari's true aha moment regarding the female relationships...... sometimes we are looking at things from a place of our own innocence. Love it🎉🎉🎉

Why are they rushing to marriage? I feel as though the loss of her father has deeply impacted her decision making. She clearly states that Jabari reminds her of her dad. 😢 Jabari can be a good man; but he is not ready yet.

I love that she shared that her father taught her how to be strong. Men teach they're daughters to be tough. Its not always the single mother hardened life lol. My father taught me the same.

This is a real subject and great interview. I've been with my husband a total of 15 years and we went through these same exact scenarios for a good 8 years. Keep setting your boundaries and communicating and ya'll will be ok. If he's your person, he will come around.

@tylynn256 7 ай бұрын

Ok, I spoke before I heard their story. I still stand by my comment, but I see a genuine friendship that turned into more. You never want to hurt a friend. We tend to honor our friends more than anyone else. They both know so much about each other and still fell in love. There are no surprises between them. Lol
