Get in shape physically, emotionally (heal), financially, educationally.... Prepare yourself... Be at the standard that you require😊
Agree 😊
Perfect 🤩
Yes, Lord!
Some asked, "would you marry you"? 😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Working on yourself in marriage is great. No one is completely healed before going into marriage.
AMEN!!!
The Holy Spirit told me to play husband with God first. If I can submit to God, then I can submit to the husband.
Isaiah 54v5-8
This! This has been my most recent revelation as I pray about marriage.
Love how Tabatha looks at Ken with so much love and admiration and how he asks for her perspective and values it 😍😍

I'm 32 and finally letting go of so much garbage in my soul 😢😢😢😢😢😢 Lord thank you for the word of God!!! Thank you you are making us perfect as you are perfect! Praise the Lord!!!!
Single in my 40s and totally agree with 2nd point. I was never ready in my 20s (was surprised when friends yearned for it). I was still not ready in my early 30s. The thought started in my late 30s but only as a thought. But now, I'm more than ready and i see it happening soon am glad I waited. I needed to know me first plus being left to take care of siblings after my parents died while I was in my early 20s. I needed me space after the "kids" left the nest. I'm now more than ready to care for my man and dedicate to marriage.
Same I was definitely not ready in my 20s and was even uncomfortable when my friends were talking about marriage. I was a mess back then but now im in a better place and I’m enjoying 30s club better😌
As a 24 y/o woman who aspires to be married, I deeply appreciated this conversation. I will practice these 10 tips.
Heyy 😊
We really do need those 10 keys
Many women fail to prepare adequately for marriage, resulting in dysfunctional unions. Mastering three key factors beforehand can make all the difference.. czcams.com/video/QgrhpYP2JZU/video.html
Thank you so much. I really needed to hear this. 35 no kids and single, I really love that I stumbled on this it feels like a confirmation. Amen!!!
When he said , “I am better than her list “ I was so moved.
“He checked all the boxes that she didn’t even know that she needed”. This is so beautiful, and comforting. Knowing
God has the best for me .
Good word! Preparation for marriage is rooted in Identity. Identifying with who God has made us to be is the key to properly preparing for marriage.
AMEN, Absolutely!! God Bless
32:53 You might not have to be a certain shape but you SHOULD BE in shape meaning as healthy as you can be within your control.
I work in healthcare and I heard someone say, “Your health is not your doctor’s responsibility. It’s yours.”
That is so very true!
Even biblically…God has some health standards that IF we followed them we’d have less health challenges.
Kindly share with us those biblical health standards God set for us. It will be helpful.
I just started listening to you guys and I absolutely love your videos already. I’m a single 45 yo Christian man and praying for a Godly woman. While I wait, I’m preparing myself.
That's right when I really really wanted to get married and I was getting desperate I got to the end of myself in conversation with god and I said you know what God I give it up I surrender and if it's just you and me forever from now on I'm fine with that. It must have been a week or less that he brought my husband into my life and I know for sure for sure that God brought him. After having that lesson and I am in marriage and struggling with marriage things now I am realizing God wants me to bring that same Spirit of surrender into my marriage as well! Wow the challenge of life and spirituality never ends
You don't have to be married to be fulfilled...truth there...thank you for wise biblical advise 😊🇿🇦👍
You’re welcome 😊
This was right on time!!! I’m 29 years old and I was beginning to feel like I was behind in the race. However, I was reminded that I’m in a place of preparation and that’s ok!! It’s just Me and God
I am 31 and feel the exact same way. Just me and GOD!
Amen 🙏🏽
Beautiful.
👑❤️
Lovely couple. I love the spiritual connection. I have been married 12 years but me and my husband lost this connection, we are almost no longer one even at a spiritual level. It doesn't feel right, I pray that God brings us back to oneness.
You all are still one it just doesn't feel good. Feeling suck and don't always tell the truth love beautiful but think of it as action not feelings. It may take work for sure. I'm praying for you!
It takes 2 however.....both of you have to want to be in the marriage.
Currently courting with a set day and I must say learning to realize that I am still single until I get married was such a conviction for me. I must still prepare because I am absolutely still single. God has been molding me and transforming me into such a beautiful soul. He even gave me a new mindset on having kids and being fruitful and not using birth control. Gods in control of my womb.
God answered your prayers...He led me to your channel 😇. I'm blessed to be here. All glory and praise to Jesus 🕊.
I am grateful that I’ve found this podcast at 30 years old wanting to be married these videos are extremely helpful.
Same here
You're right about women not chasing and don't act like you're not available. God spoke to me when I was single and he said you can look for your husband but don't be obsessed with it cuz I was so obsessed with it and he was calling me to get more into scripture and to surrender to him but still be open to finding my husband and it all happened when I got my head right. Yes absolutely chasing did not work I tried it and I didn't realize I was doing it but I got wiser and wiser as I went
I just found ya'll tonight and absolutely love this topic! I'm 62 my husband died in May of 2023 and I told myself I want to get myself spirituality ready first before I even think about looking for a husband. Ya'll are nailing it❣❣❣. Thank you guys❤
I really like how you honor your wife's opinion and presence in your conversation/podcast
Yes, sis, I'm in my waiting season for my KINGDOM HUSBAND SPIRITUAL ANOINTED SPOUSE! ❤ God!!! IS preparing him and me! Patient, I must say it's hard, but GOD!!! HAS it all in control! AMEN 🙏 🙌 ✨️
I’m 26 own my house and have a good job single my whole adult life and working on trusting God for a husband …I struggle with it and in a healing/growing/trusting season I got a lot of work to do but I’ll definitely get through it in Jesus name !
Amen 🙏
As a single women, I appreciate your content! Keep it coming🫶🏾
Can't agree more! These were excellent points. Don't look for someone to complete you, be complete and the best you can be before a relationship, so you have what is needed to contribute to a fulfilled partnership. Treat yourself as God's temple, the best that he designed you to become. Bring God's best for you into a union that honors Christ as the center of an honorable marriage.
Hi Mr & Mrs Claytor. Thank you for what you shared. I'm a 21 years old male and I thank God that I got to see this podcast. Now I can prepare on my own pace & have less challenges in the future. Thanks, God bless you.
Glad to have you watching!
being single has been a blessing. And the freedom we get to serve, journey, dream and achieve is unmatched. Dont let the narrative of having it all ruin the quality blessing you have right now
6:49-7:07 is a real word! I lived by it for about 5yrs. I am single,happy AND OK with it. I love my life ❤ I love what God is doing with my life. If God bring a husband to me in this life, coo...if not, coo!
I’ll be married 15 years in a couple of weeks.
I just came across you guys. Y’all funny 😂
“You said the name!” Lol
“Now I’m gone call out ALL their names”
Any who, I pray that you all help MANY in and out of the Body of Christ!
Let’s MAKE MARRIAGE GREAT AGAIN 🙏🏽
Love it! Good information to prepare me again for marriage. I am widowed but looking forward to getting married again, so I want to be a better wife
My fav takeaway: DON’T BELIEVE THE LIES OF THE ENEMY! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
God told me to pray in the word regarding marriage. I’m divorced and children are grown. You helped alot. Thanks
I am not married yet, but this was amazing. Love you guys and your honesty❤ all the way from South Africa🇿🇦
Hey guuurrrllll🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Hey Di ♥️🤩🇿🇦
“In your single season, you are training yourself for what you are going to do for the rest of your life…” Wow!
Im 32 and single must I say I enjoyed every second of this ❤
Hello, I stumbled on your page and so glad I did. I have been divorced for four years, I was married for 13. Your podcasts ,your information have helped me to see some of my mistakes in my first marriage. Although some were ignorant, because of lack of knowledge. Moving forward, I’ve been praying that the Lord will give me wisdom as it relates to being the wife that my husband needs the next time. Please keep doing what you do and God bless.
First time here. This talk was good. I’ve been married 16 years my spouse disappointed me by not recognizing our anniversary, even as i decorated not sure what happened, even when I questioned later about it, all I got was “ I’m sorry” so pray for us. Thank you both. Blessings!
Praying ❤
Phenomenal!!! I was just asking THE LORD how HE wants me to prepare....🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏼🙌🏻🔥
Me too!!! And then i found this video!! Ha!
❤
I am so blessed by your message, I am married i wish i had herd these things before, but God is good .
Amen! Thanks for watching!
Happy to find your channel, single woman here soaking in all of the knowledge 🙏🏽
Love how yall look at each other and talk to each other. ❤
You both are doing an awesome job preparing singles and educating the married on how to live and operate by God's way in their marriages. May God continue to bless and keep you both under His wings.
Real Gems - You guys bring great value. I pray that as I’m getting ready my partner is also getting ready through the Word of God and help from the Holy Spirit. Can’t wait for Thursdays and looking forward to Alive Conference Orlando-registered- Stay blessed !
Love to hear it!
Im finally getting the concept of the right amount of confidence towards my relationship with God and others...as long as Im good with God everything and everyone else should be the added extras. If I get married or not being honestly good either way....sets a standard that pleases God and makes life more fulfilling. Learning to rest and wait in Him makes a difference.
The Lord led me to this channel..the Lord has been talking to me about preparing myself for marriage. And I had been looking for the right content and I came across this channel on Friday and it gives me all the information I need ....now I'm been schooled by this channel..im grateful
Wow, I'm getting married this year and this is such invaluable information, your maturity is refreshing. God bless you for your service to the people of God
Yes, do the podcast on “ how to win a man.” I would love to hear what you have to say about that.
Great podcast guys, thank you ❤. As a single Christian woman this thought me so much and I’m guilty of number 3. I’m at this point though where I’m just getting to love myself first, so I could reach the point where I’m like “regardless if I get married or not I’m still going to be happy.” Thanks again
I am a widow now. My husband was a baby saint when we got married. We did not match Spiritually. It caused a lot of problems because he was spiritually immature. Our walk with Christ wasn't the same. Now, considering possible remarriage, I know now I must have a man who at least matches me spiritually, and I really still need emotional healing from past post trauma experiences. God bless you two for sharing 🙏🏾 😊❤
Praying with you for healing from your past traumas!
0:07 - I literally DROPPED everything to grab pen and paper to write down ALL of the revelation that is going to be downloaded.
YESSS PLEASE DO A PODCAST ABOUT HOW TO WIN A GODLY MAN
The only problem I have with them saying that God is not going to allow you to get married before you are ready is that how many people who have podcasts on marriage discuss how when they got married they weren't ready? you could spend a lifetime trying to be sanctified and ready.
I believe I am one of the people you prayed for to discover this channel.I've learnt alot from this video and I'm going to watch other videos you guys have made.
Thank you amd God bless you.
Thanks for watching! God bless you too.
I had one relationship that ended and one told me I was “depressed” . Which I was very happy until the way I was treated in the relationship. I then dated another person and came to realization that it was the same person with a different face. A month later we broke up and he told me “you’re unhappy” and as I grew in God I learned that you will keep taking the same test until you pass it but also that the enemy will make those people say the same things about you so you’ll start believing it about yourself. Thank God I never held on to it, but I peeped it. Just touching on the topic at 10:00
As a 40 yr young single 😁, I really appreciated this message. It’s definitely my single season and I agree 100% needing to give yourself time with God so he can heal the broken pieces and restore you even better than before❤. May I make a request about something that I don’t hear from pastors when talking about relationships.. and that’s singles who have kids, who didn’t follow the right way, or did, but now are single and have kids (young or teens) in the pic as well. Can you talk about that and give your perspective and advice to both men and women?
Right!!! I need perspective on my situation
Yes to the podcast "How to Win a Men"
Thank You so much for changing my perspective on being single and how exciting it can be. AMEN
Loved this! Thank you ❤
