  • Hi Guys I'm back with video number 2! (Make sure to watch it in HD 1080p)
    Thank you so much for the support in my first video, I honestly couldn't be more chuffed :)
    This video is about some of the things I wish I knew or I wish someone would have told me before I got engaged/ married! I told my self I was only going to do 5 points, but I got a bit excited and started running wild so forgive me for that lol.
    Please also excuse the lighting issues!! Filming with natural light can be a bit crazy sometimes, especially when you live in London!
    Anyway I hope you enjoy this video!

    When you get engaged and married you will learn who your true friends and family members are. Yup

    It's a wonderful thing to hear a woman understand the magnitude of showing respect and honor to their husband. It's like the difference between Esther and Vashti or the contentious woman who tears down her own house. Hands down.

    Right. Marriage isn't about power and control, it's about helping one another in partnership, building each other up. Love that you spoke on the difference in thinking, that's one thing that's hard to grasp is that priorities and the way we reach goals are so different from each other. Thank you for sharing in such a heartfelt way.

    Three things that strikes me:
    'you have to get down for your man' lol That was so honest but indeed that's what many women are unaware of. Being humble enough to acknowledge your spouse's needs and take responsibility for actually making him feel loved. That's also something for men to learn, that we women need that caring touch without the suspicion of him trying to use our sexuality.
    Another good thing you've said is about realising that the woman is not a head but a neck. That woman's power is in gentleness and in her subtle influence. that's a true feminity. It's wisdom.
    The end point was very beautiful: The love is not just a feeling but also a choice. It will be challenging but it will definitely increase the good feeling.
    Thank you and God bless you :)

      TY, for your kind observation. Can you do a vid on some things men need help with?
      My issue with men in my life they say hurtful things to me, then say I'm too sensitive ...
      and I disagree. It's like they let words just fall out their mouths (kinda like the child saying a person is really fat), 'well we don't blame the child; however, men I feel should stop and think about what they say.

    I wish men would be much more aware of these facts. Was married 14yrs. I've never been snappy, nor had attitude, was always there for him, did everything he wanted and I did it gracefully out of pure love. But, there wasn't a true exchange. Nickella, exchange is so ever important. And good outright, but timed, communication is vital. One has to be able to talk freely to each other, without wanting to hurt feelings... A relationship is like an enterprise. One has to constantly work on it. Both sides. And that's the problem, men do not see it thst way at all. So, women end up getting really exhausted to do all the work. Besides, the rest of our daily chores and work... It's been way too much for me to handle... Well, I do wish U the best! :)

    Different they are but the world does not revolve around them. We hardly see clips of men talking on SM about what men should do to make a marriage work. They do what they do and all we do is run around looking to solve all the problems we see in the marriage. Understanding and respect from both is what works.

      @@tstarajayi Yeah fixing a car is a life matter.. lol. For real now? That's the problem with men.. they do smth once in a while and they think that they paid their dept. Not every man has invented something so leave that bs out of it. Maybe most men know how to fix a car but we can live without it. There are cabs and buses and it's again once in a while.. Once in a while.. That's all you can do and you wanna think that you are too important.. Try do the most boring things everyday for you and your family after work like cooking and cleaning for years and years without anyone paying you, like a slave and then come find me.. Let alone raising a child.. We can handle almost everything alone even bringing a human being on this earth like you.. There was once a man who "became" a woman for a few years and then he "became" again a man.. He couldn't believe how unfair this world was for women and how difficult they have it.. He turned again into a man just because of it. He doesn't lose a chance to stand up for women and he admits that he turned into a man again just out of convinience. I always wished men would turn into women somehow magically and see how fucking spoiled, selfish, arrogant, emotionally immature and lazy they are. Yet they think so highly of themselves even though they are pretty useless compared to women.

      Rudiano, she/he definitely wasn't for you. I'm going through a situation right now that I feel isn't right. They say guys are usually dragged into making a relationship work. But in my case, I strive to do the working. I don't know why a lady would refuse to study/watch materials that would help her grow, especially in her relationship.
      Ignorance is really going to hurt you. I've learned to keep my head up and move on if the other party ain't ready.
      Relationship is WORK. If one is not working then it's not working.
      I know God's got my heart and will lead me aright to the right one.

The growth I am experiencing is beautiful because it is internal growth. I have been able to start looking at external things as the issue and I have turned the mirror INTERNAL. I have connected more with God and I realize everything just started flowing in the right direction. I felt your passion as you spoke and I identify so much with everything you’re saying! Its like hearing myself talk! God bless you for sharing and may God continue to strengthen your marriage!!!

      Except you can't....cuz you know I'm right, and you know this woman was right.....and you know you're wrong.
      Stop being wrong, sweetheart. That's all there is to it. Love and care for your man, and if he doesn't repay your love in SOME favor, then you with the WRONG guy. And if ALL the guys you with don't properly care for you they all the WRONG guy.

      Cause having love in your heart aint ALL ABOUT FUCKIN YOU CHICK!!!!! lolol goddamn girl, every word outcha mouth is "But....but....but what about MEEEEEE" :p
      Sometimes, this shit is about US, beautiful, and THAT is why/how a woman can have love in her heart.
      If you think love HAS TO ALWAYS INCLUDE YOU, then you don't think that much about love. Cause Love is the one force down here that moves E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E.
      "Love" ain't got shit to do with women, or men, it's got everything to do with God, His Word, and following his Good Word down here. If you want a non-religious explanation, then Love is about following the Truth and doing what is Objectively Right by ALL the people you love in your life (not on social media or some bull shit).
      A woman doesn't NEED to worry about nobody in HER LIFE as much as she NEED to worry about her man. But, hey, I'll say the same thing on the guy too here so I'm not playing unfair. His greatest need for concern is that her well-being is taken care for.
      The problem is you goofy girls worry FOR us, rather than ABOUT us. When ya man's stressed, do you try and solve his problems, or do you just try and comfort his ass and help push him to achieving his goals? Be real now, I've seen a LOOOOOT of realtionships lolol so you'd be the fuckin 10th if you're the 2nd girl lol, no hate tho.
      I ain't sayin it's easy. I'm saying it's right. That's why I do it. Hell, I ain't even sayin you NEED to agree chick. Cause here's the thing, NOTHING you say is gonna change my mind. Not cause I'm being disrespectful about it, but cause I know pretty well what the hell leaves my mouth. And I also know what comes outta other peoples. And nothing you saying here is anything new to me. It's the same old sayings that are dying with my parents generation. And ya know what....I'm fine with lettin those sayings die lol

    I am a woman who understands love like you say a man does. Honour, respect and sex show me that I am loved. Dependence makes me very uncomfortable. This kind of messaging is not applicable to everyone and every relationship must establish a balance where both parties are shown love in the ways that are important to them. I am glad that you have found that, but obviously every relation cannot follow the same dynamic.

      Ephesians 5:22-33
      "22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
      25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."

      And if you have a man who understands love the same way, you'll clash if both of you only "want" honour and respect but cant give it back the same way. A home, just like a nation, can't have two heads! Unless, their characters blend in ie what's one's strength is the other's weakness and vice versa. Yeah, not everyone is the same so generalisations are to be taken with much caution. Some things are based on unfounded stereotyping. E.g. am a female but am not a fan of pink but blue, am feminist but I don't split the bill when a man takes me on a date and am both tough and very soft as a person, it depends on the situation.
      What you brought out are character differences which is something thats universally indisputable. But there are things that we "choose" to learn through teachings so we can be better people because life isn't just about "us"... because we might be operating in the unconscious incompetent phase mentioned in the video!

      Danelia Bray Thanks for the word! One thing that ALWAYS surprises me is that when people quote that scripture, they leave out the first part of the scripture that has *"submit to one another"* . It always perplexes me really, that people choose to put the heading "teachings on marriage" after that scripture using an assumption that there is no way the author of that book could suggest submission is a two way thing. I think it's time people started to read the "full" word. Not in parts and pieces or sticking to "famously quoted" passages. And as they read they should be aware of the input of the interpreters (ie from the original Hebrew texts to english). Where all the headings that they put correctly placed? Did the original text place the headings at the same place? Or did it even have headings in the first place? Questions have to be asked so the Holy Spirit reveals certain things as we study God's word.

I'm in a new relationship and until very recently I was operating full steam ahead in the unconscious incompetence. I've now shifted to the conscious incompetence and I have a strong desire to increase my competence so I can be a better girlfriend for my boyfriend. I like your 21-day reference so I will make that my first challenge - to be a proverbs 31 woman for the next 21 days. I too have a snappy temper and can say the meanest things - I want to change for my partner. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one and that change is possible. Thank you for the video .I just subscribed to your channel!

My grandmother told me that when I was 6. She said "I wrote your grandfather for 2 years while he was at war. I chose to love him through it all and wait for him to return. It took dedication and hard work. Never settle for someone who doesn't choose to love you through it all."

    Dear Nickella. You are a God Blessed woman and your husband is a God blessed man. Men and women are created by God and they were created differently is as obvious as could ever be from their form and from their interior behaviours and feelings. You have brought this out so beautifully from your own experience and have in your experience wished someone would have taught / told / elucidated these truths for you. Unfortunately, for you and for millions of women...(especially, the women who want to be equal, equal to man in everything to their own paradoxical unhappiness and unfulfillment) the educational systems and the social media is misguiding these unfortunate women...making them unhappy and destroying the very core of a happy relationship. Thank you for being brave and putting this very true and very real gut-feeling, real wonderful advice to all your fellow sisters. It is best when it comes from a woman to explain the truth to a woman, rather than from a man. You really know. You are a loved child of God. May He bless you and your family and dear ones abundantly.

      This is so true!!!!! We need to find a way to re enforce this to people into relationships because without it we are lost. The lies still from us and can and will bring us to self destructiveness robbing us of hopes and dreams. Visit my information site about a church I would like to start based on my own personal experience ( though wasn't married to the person) and how I am planing to move forward from my negative behavior with someone I wanted to marry and build a relationship. @www.keepersofbrothers.com
      My personal story and reason for pursuing it is at the bottom of the page. I encourage others to go and visit the site as well. As it is in direct relation to this video.
      Thank you so much and God Bless you!

      +Shakeba Dennis Not being rude or agianst what u want to do .To build and start a church is not something u desire its a ministry that God gives .and u are chosen by birth to build the church.There are five minstrys
      -evangelist
      -prophet
      -apostle
      -teacher
      -pastor
      these ministries are given to Gods specific chosen ppl. assign for that journey they gp through trainings under spritual mentors before they are anointed.
      where else u can desire to be a deacon ,bishop . 1 timothy 3:1..and so on .its good that u want to start a church but pray and ask God the way . consult ur pastor or elders(not exactly grey headed women and men in the) church and surely u'll know exactly what to do.

    Thank you so much for posting this video. I want to first, thank you for bringing in the spiritual aspect of marriage. Secondly, thank you for your honesty. I'm engaged now, and will be getting married in September and its been and interesting journey thus far. The good, by far, is outweighing the bad, and I thank God for that. I've been searching for insight from married believers and this was right on time. I just thank you for being honest and sharing your growth. Since I've been born again, there has been a change in me and it has been a blessing. Within this time, I've also had to learn what it truly meant to be a woman. Not to kick against the pricks. That "submissive" is not equated with weakness, but strength. That letting a man, more so your husband, take the lead is okay. My words used to come quick and cut like nobody's business...but I learn about my role in a relationship through the Word. Now that I'm at the point of almost being married, I'm continuing to search for wisdom and guidance, through the Word, as well as through married couples who honor God's word. Thank you for adding unto my growth. I look forward to more videos. Have a great day! Be blessed!

Life was designed for couples that's what the creator created. Man and woman through free choices messed it up. Every young woman take heed. You can learn from your own mistakes or you can learn from others. Peace and best Regards!

    I thought this was going to be a nonsensical rant sanctioned by a Lifetime Channel season ticket holder but the sista's insights were on point. Of course we as men bring our own preconceived thoughts, feelings, and baggage to marriage and there will be a mountain of ways of thinking/habits both will need to change. In my opinion everything starts with knowing the Most High, learning/knowing your role as a husband or wife, and being obedient to the requirements of your position. And yes husbands have to be obedient too...he has to obey YHWH and the wife is to obey her husband. Ya is a Elohim of order and decency and this is His order.

    • @ngreat4390
      @ngreat4390 Před 6 lety +2

    • @xtelfolaj
      @xtelfolaj Před 6 lety +2

      there is nothing wrong with praying for a husband. the bible says cast your cares upon him for he cares. So you can go to God to show you who your earthly spouse, it only comes problematic when God feels like you desire it more than him which is probably why he told Helen Enang to stop, or you want God to work on your time when he told you, you are not ready. The bible says from the days of John the baptist the kingdom of heaven sufferth violence, and the violent take it by force. The enemy diverge alot of people from their divinely earthly spouse, or prolong it. I've heard alot of testimonies how the enemy diverge people to meet their husband at their 40s. So like the bible says pray with out ceasing, but just seek God first for anything. God can give anything from a job, more power, wisdom, etc. Don't limit God
