Laterras get Jackie hill perry and Preston perry, and Stephanie Ike and her husband on here please!
Yes!!
Yes I agree❤
Yes please!!
Would love to see them too!!
That's the goal
Being the Sister of this amazing couple to be able to witness their love story up close and personal has been a gift. I knew that the world needed this exposure. Thank you for sharing their story❤❤
Which one are you related to?
Lovely story of restoration and redemption ❤
Beautiful story, it’s all about Gods timing. I love it❤
I like that you stated “being the sister of this amazing couple” not sister to…validates just how surrounded/embraced they are by love🙏🏾
Yess!!!!!!❤
People I have never seen love like this. This man is showing love and expressing with words and body language. I have never seen a man show absolute love toward a woman. I pray I will receive love like this one day.
True
So true. Amen. 🙏🏽
Amen. When a man truly loves,its deep. They were meant to be
he's just sitting there with his hands over his crotch. what is so special about his expression? their story is great though.
This is what I desire
Greg! The way you upheld your wife thru this interview was everything. We salute you brother. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Amen!
Tell me about it. The reassurance, the hand on her thigh, the words used. This is a loving & caring man. Love is really a beautiful thing.
"You can't heal until you admit that you're hurting." 💯
Wow! I have a very similar story! We met when I was in high school (he's 4 years older). We had a child together, broke up, and eventually married other people. My cousin was getting divorced and had a "waiting to exhale" party. He messaged me at the party. At this time I was divorced. Who knew that on the other side of town, he was having a conversation about me. His friends told him to call me, so he did. We went to breakfast the next day. We talked for hours! So long, in fact, they ended up kicking us out of the restaurant! We reconnected in ways neither of us expected! This was one year ago...we are getting married in May 2024! Love CAN survive decades! People grow and change. Will is very self-aware and he has given account for his mistakes. He's a real sweetheart and a gift from God that I treasure! Reunited and it feels SO GOOD!!! #Newson2024
Congratulations! I love love! I pray God continue to bless you, your family and your union.
Congratulations!!
“Wherever God is, that’s where I want to be” …. That was so profound! What a mighty God we serve 🙌🏾
“Let your character outlive their lie” ❤ Amen 💯
That part!!!!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This was actually my favorite one so far because of how vulnerable and transparent the guests were! This is an example of God's Faithfulness ❤
Wasn't it simply beautiful?
8 years alone and all those 8 abstinent. Working on my relationship with God and just taking care of my kids. If you read this please pray for me to meet my purpose partner💕
Praying!
❤
May the HolySpirit meet you tonight
Hope you get everything you need and want. Wishing you the very best 🙏
This story of OVERCOMING! I'm at work fighting back tears... He UNDERSTOOD the ASSIGNMENT!! Called her father and went ALLLLLL the way back to the initial place of brokeness!! Whew!!! (somebody gotta be cutting onions here in my office!!😭😭😭)
Before even listening for a few minutes, can I just acknowledge how much so many couples look alike? Even if just the facial features. If these wives don’t look like their husbands’ rib for real, then I don’t know what else to call it. 👑♥️👑
I was going to post the same thing! 😂
That is the secret to finding your wife or husband. It is in the face. We will have the same nose. GOD gave me the gift to dicern soulmates.
That was the first thing I noticed. They look like siblings
i support this message lol😂
@@IamaDesignerOriginalI agree
Perfect example of what God puts together no man can put asunder!
This makes me believe even more that genuine love is real.
Latteras, I would love to see more couples like this on your podcast!!!!!!
Greg isn’t afraid to show complete adoration and affection for his darling wife. Many blessings!!!!!!
You ain't seen nothing yet! This season will blow your mind
I have found this to be one of the two episodes that best describe my husband and I as we take this journey. 35 years together with 15 year age difference, divorced (17th year) and back to do it again (10 yrs later) Now,stronger, wiser and better. This podcast had me looking within myself and saying yes to God as He spoke into my forever love. Thanks for being so true to the cause and finding ordinary people to share their extraordinary encounters with God through transformation.
Please get this couple. As the Spirit leads🙏
@@shree2ann We receive that.
Did you date other people in between?
@@adriannorwood8237 glad you asked. Yes I did remarry stayed with that person nearly 2 years. Meanwhile the first husband and I were friends and He had a baby that's now 12 years old
@@benitaallen2702 what did the time apart assist with? Were you consciously working on things while apart? I don’t want this to sound judgmental, but do you feel like you can back because you ended up determining he was the best thing you had after you were able to experiment in the dating market? The hard thing about reuniting is feeling like it only happened because the other person couldn’t find better. It doesn’t always seem genuine.
Laterras, I have watched your podcast for a couple of years now, and this is by far my favorite couple. The way this man loves his wife is absolutely beautiful. I wish more men could understand the true role and call of a husband and understand the beauty of being gentle, open, and vulnerable with their wives. ❤ Well done! I can't wait to see what God has in store for this couple.
Definitely one of my favorite couples❤
I agree.
I loved how Gregg looked in Kiki's eyes when he told her how valuable she was to him. My GOD! My heart felt that. I pray for complete covering over their marriage and HE keeps them strong!
Man that dad approval was everything!! That’s amazing that her father found that heart in that young man that early
In his time all is made perfect. Many are the plans of our hearts but it is he who establishes our paths. ❤
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Man man man!!! How this man took responsibility for a decision that she made and he said we made that decision together brought me to straight tears 😢
Jesus please give me a loving husband like this
Being a retired AF military woman and divorcee THIS episode hit DEEP! I'm so emotional watching this.
Thank you for this podcast Laterras.
This couple's story and transparency is transformative. THANK YOU!!!!
Amen
When Gregg spoke about not leaving his wife even if she were to cheat, that immediately struck a chord within me and made me think of Hosea and Gomer, and God's command for husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the Church.
How often do we cheat on God? Jow often do we create idols in our lives and turn to them instead of turning to HIM? But He still pursues us because His love is unfailing.
What a beautiful couple and wonderful episode!
Whew....I wasn't ready for this one. He wanted her to feel supported in what she's BEEN through. Not what she's going through. I had to pause it to process that. 🥺🥺🥺
God is faithful to COMPLETE what HE Starts!! Amen!! 🙏🏾 ❤
Amen 🙏
Such a great summation of this episode @Scripturenstyle
Great interview and story. Greg and I were college football teammates and friends in college. Always been a class act and standup guy. ✊🏿💯
What a beautiful love story! I am actually blown away by his love for her. I have never heard a man his age with such maturity, grace, humility, sensitivity, live for her and love for God in my life. Man Laterras you are blowing this season out of the park! I’ve cried a few lashes off. Just beautiful! Simply beautiful!
G Money has always been a leader of men!!!
I love that Laterras pointed out how the husband placed his hand on his wife's thigh, as she told the story of her first marriage.
I noticed it and thought, "What Great Support".
Then when Laterras decided to explore it and dissect the meaning of such a gesture, the meaning resonated with the part of me, as a single woman, who prays to have such covering from the one who will find me. "WE made that decision." Talk about being as one.
My hearts cry.
Okay let me keep watching.
Thank God for real men who love God and have a relationship with Jesus! Laterras, I am so grateful for that beautiful couple. I have been divorced twice and they have truly blessed me. Keep healing and hearing from God!
I needed this episode. I've praying to remarry and for a man who's willing to abstain. It feels like I'm asking too much to expect a man to be abstaining for some time before he finds me.
Gregg is a good, godly man with integrity. To hear a man talk about a desire to obey God and especially with his body made such an impression. This episode and couple's story was such a blessing.
It depends on what you expect from a man, are you expecting a man to play a role of a boyfriend/husband and abstain from sex?? What’s the benefit to the man? Come home every day from working hard and no intimacy or affection?!
This whole testimony is very powerful. It speaks on so many levels even on how Mr Gregg was keeping himself and not out there from woman to woman, that Re’s speaks. So many women would be just be grateful to encounter such men that has that kind of discipline and not only that but a relationship with God. Ms Shekela is such a blessing, her strength and perseverance through all her trials speaks volumes as well. Beautiful testimony.
Shakela and Gregg this is God's doing, no man can deny it.
The only thing I regret not doing watching this episode is not get my popcorn ready ! WOW every second of their testimony was a blessing 🙏🏼❤️ God does replace all the pain and time that was meant for bad with a beautiful ending of his eternal Love . Amen!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼👑👑🔥🔥❤️❤️
I love their story and I'm so grateful there are still men out here like Greg. Father, thank you for my person that you're bringing to me ❤
That's so powerful… “Whatever decision you made, we made that decision.” 🙏🏾
Words cannot express the level of gratitude I feel to the Lord for this couple’s testimony. This is so confirming and beautiful! Some soul ties come from the Lord, and no matter how much you try to break them/ they ain’t moving! Her pain is yours! That is divinely centered love! The family confirmation! The mirroring in your previous marriages. God doesn’t waste a hurt! Never! I’m so thankful for your transparency.
The maturity and purity from this brother needs to be taught to brothers enmasse! Not only is this a purposeful marriage it was made before you met on earth!
Thank you again for sharing this!
🙏🏾🙌🏾 To God be the glory!
Love wins! They are a beautiful couple, and I love this testimony of reconnection! ❤ I love how he covers and loves her. She does not seem bitter or toxic at all! Shout out to her daddy!!! Thank you for interviewing them Laterras. ❤
You're welcome
Daddy’s girls are really not hard to be with. Why do so many compete with the fathers. They are willing to help the man that wants to be with his daughter.

"Let Your Character Outlive Their Lie"
One of my favorite Quotes
1:12:10 Leave labels alone...its just more confusion....Men: LOVE YOUR WIFE‼️
He is so comfortable in that yellow chair 😅😅😅. No nervousness thats out the window. Beautiful couple.
This is a beautiful love story. It just goes to show that true love won't be denied, no matter the distance nor years apart. Greg’s level of accountability and vulnerability is so refreshing and inspiring. Overall, I appreciated hearing each of their journeys and I actually feel like we didn't hear enough about the reconnection. I hope that their story is brought to TV for the world to see. Thank you to the beautiful couple for sharing. 🙏🏿
This episode spoke to me. 😮❤ Their marriage is so breathtaking. Knowing and acknowledging that there will be turbulence, but being willing to stay in it TOGETHER🎉.
Ayeeeee! that 38:00 min mark ...when that man takes accountability and acknowledges her feelings is EVERYTHING... Its a Real Moment , a beautiful moment..
I love how he feels responsible for his wife 1st failed marriage he felt guilty for what they could have had his mom just wanted him to go to college and not get her pregnant at and early age. THANK God he put them back together ❤🎉🙏🏽
Good morning Sir laterras good morning, thanks for the wonderful work ur doing in showing us as men that we can be opened, Vanerable, transparent Emotional available to love our black queen's I can relate to this couples story because I recently reconnected with an old girlfriend of the past Twenty eight years and we're getting married June, I truly believe that God will always allow his promise and purpose to collide, to Accomplish his destiny for our lives, keep up the great work Mighty man of God 👏👏👊🙏
Salute king! Honor her! Reflect the love of Christ in nurturing her heart. I'm praying for y'all.
Laterras,
I wanted to say I have shacked up with your channel for a while. I just made the commitment yesterday to subscribe. Here's why: I just came out of 21 days of fasting and prayer and received a revelation during while watching one of the Live podcast tapings. Specifically the one with Montell and Kristan Jordan. She said that "a wife is mature ..." I am 43 years old now and realized in that moment that the waiting period God had me in for 5 years was about maturing me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Prior to the maturing process, I was stuck in my teenage self way of thinking. In other words, I wasn't fully healed from my first heartbreak, witnessing my parents divorce, being rejected by someone who said they loved me but named all these things I couldn't change as wrong with me (eye color, lip size, skin complexion, etc). I had begged and cried for God to send my husband but if He had sent him while I was walking in that level of immaturity and unhealed space I would have ruined my marriage. Mature men intimidated me. I attracted immature ones, then I was the more mature person so I could blame them for why the relationship didn't work. My friends would say I was settling; they were right. Settling for a version of myself that had no mental, emotional advancement and therefore drew to myself men who lacked the same. The way I laid in my bed late last night and just spoke to my Heavenly Father and thanked Him for last year. I went through a breakup that felt like it obliterated my spirit. But I watched the interview with Christian Keyes you did after the Atlanta live podcast. He said that he had prayed about his relationship and it fell apart. I felt that wholeheartedly. I fasted for Lent last year and asked God for clarity about where the relationship was headed and my bf broke up with me. I ran back to my Father and He carried me through the pain and stretched my walk with Him like some salt water taffy for sure.
I said all that to say; KEEP GOING! THIS PODCAST IS SAVING LIVES. It's bringing new revelation to those of us that don't have the people around them necessary to say, "LISTEN!" God bless you brother. -Signed New Subbie no longer being immature or stubborn
I knew this was going to be good because they look like regular people you might see in everyday life. No flashy clothes, excessive makeup, or bling. They were relatable. They're not trying to impress us. May God bless their union and their work.
😭 Thank you for this couple. It reminded me of a recent situation. I woke up one day and realized I lost my daith (bottom piece of my earring). It had been missing for about 2 weeks and I didn't even begin to look for it because I didn't know where to begin. After walking out of my bathroom and looking in the mirror I realized I hadn't purchased a replacement. As I'm going to open the baby gate (had my dogs blocked in with me. Lol) I felt something under my foot. At first I was going to ignore it, but I felt a prompting to check it out. It was the piece I was missing. It may seem like a small thing, but I felt in that moment God was like, I see you and I also see what you are looking for. I know how to connect you to it if you'll trust me. 😭😭😭😭 I say all that to say... my heart has been flickering with the hope of finding love. Seeing this couple rekindled my hope. I am a hopeful romantic. ☺️
Laterras!! You just WROTE a BOOK! YOU listed the chapters by the MINUTES … this blows me away!!! CAN YOU SEE IT?
Greg took on the responsibility that he hurt her in high school and felt the consequences of her decision were because of the hurt. This was a powerful statement to say the decision we make is our decision. ❤❤️❤️
God is something else 🙏 🙌
If LIT was an episode❤ tears, laughter and inspiration. The season of New Beginnings . LOVE LOVE LOVE
OMG!!! When I tell you that THIS one was so good. When she was telling her story regarding her first husband and the trauma she went through with his cheating I had to stop my work and think back to make sure we wasn’t involved with the same person (not at the same time) lol!! Her story was so relatable and I know all too well those emotions she went through and even with her saying that she even cheated. My God. I’m so glad to see that the two of them found their way back to each other. I pray abundant blessings over them and their family. Laterras, this one is one for the books. Just amazing!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Thank all of you for your testimonials of how faithful God is❤
I'm in tears as I write this. There are so many parallels to my experience that it's almost scary.
Midway through this episode, a fire was instantly ignited in me, and I was convicted to have a real & raw moment with God. I paused the video & began to pray intensely, crying and all. Through repentance and a reminder that His mercies are new every morning, my faith was strengthened, and my hope was refreshed. I believe it's still going to happen for me.
The BIGGEST takeaway for me is that it's NEVER too late for God's Will to be done. To Gregg & Shakela, THANK YOU for your courage & obedience in sharing your story. God's getting so much Glory from this, and you're inspiring so many people to keep believing by faith. @DearFutureWifeyPodcast Laterras, I'm so excited to see how God's going to blow your mind in your relationship with your future wife, as a way of Him saying to you, "Well Done thy good and faithful servant." I'm praying for all of you, and I hope you'll pray for me too. 🙏❤️
I would love to see a Part 2 with the beautiful couple. The Father’s glory shines brightly on them. May Elohim bless you all🙏🏼
They had to go through all that over someone's decision to tell a lie. They could have been each other's first and only love! The power of life and death is in the tongue!!! But God is still using their testimony to help and encourage others proof that every cloud has a silver lining and proof that God never gives up on us! No matter how awful you think you have been if you repent God will forgive you and give you a hope and future, plans to prosper you and not harm you!! I'm glad I got to see you in a different light Fit fam!!! May God continue to bless your family! Glory to God!!
I laughed & cried watching this! I loved their vulnerability & how they used each others experiences to make their relationship better
He loves her! He loves her! He loves her! This episode made me so emotional. 😢😢The way he reached out to her when she was telling her story about her wedding made me teary eyed. This is the kind of support I long for. Lord, I know you heard my prayer. Thank you, Father! 🙌 This was beautiful, Laterras. Your prayer and letter were very touching. ❤❤
Such a Sweet Story; when it comes down to it we all need JESUS, HE Truly is the Hope, Strength and Answer
This is my favorite couple interview, by far. Lord thank you. This episode helped me as a Saint understand my life choices more clearly. This couple would be great Christian counselors. I wish they would start a school. I would pay to attend. I will purchase a book & gift a second book to whomever God tells me to give it too.
Laterras, you have to produce this movie. I was so into this story…it was such a wonderful story. I was invested like I was reading a book or watching a movie.
ABSOLUTE Facts...Greg thank you for showing real women like myself...That great men of purpose are still available... No show just being real...Love this
This was so amazing! The expression of love between these two is sacred. The "we" mentality is everything, almost made me cry. I had none of that in my former marriage and really was beginning to think I was crazy for thinking that's how it should be. I'm so glad I listened to this. Still healing, but this gave me so much hope!
One thing Laterras is going to do, without fail, is understand the actions and emotions of women. I've never listened to a man who can speak for woman and be correct 💯. That's how you know hw is connected to God and is listening. He is a treasure. 🙏🏾
To God be the glory!
This couple gave me hope.
Not coming for his mom.....but can you imagine all the love and happiness she caused them to miss out on. All the trauma that happened from a misunderstanding. I love that they found themselves back to each other. They are able to share their testimonies of overcoming and reconnecting.
I agree. You are telling the truth. Parents need to develop relationships with their children where they can ask direct questions. To instill doubt, insecurities, distrust, etc. is not the way.
Thank u for this comment because I was thinking the same.
@@cherietaylorsmall5764 Very true, I myself endured a situation where if my mom had just asked me her questions directly, it would have avoided a lot of unnecessary trauma and distrust.
This was so heart warming to me!! And help me to know there’s still love out there!!
Thank Y’all for sharing your journey 🖤🖤. May God pour out His continued Blessings upon you. I Jesus name, Amen.
Laterras, OUTSTANDING interview. Their testimony showcased no matter how much time is lost it’s still possible because what’s for you is for you!
This conversation was pure and honest. I was on the live and remember him. A true "make the block" story. God's purpose will be fulfilled.
Wow, their love story is amazing. I cried while listening to them. They way he covers his wife speaks volumes. What a blessing.
Hey family
I love when Dear Future Wifey drops videos unexpectedly ❤ 🔥🔥🔥
Every Wednesday
@@DearFutureWifey❤
This episode is my favorite one so far. I love these two together! 💚 It's crazy how her first husband was actually not ready to be one, but lied to himself and her. While Gregg expressed his truth about needing time as an honorable and honest man does. God's timing is always perfect though. They needed the experience apart before joining together in the sacred Union of marriage. Many blessings! Amen. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
That's a great point. If she had waited on Him to prepare, their story would be a lot different. God is so good though. He still made a way for them to become husband and wife. That's powerful!
WOW God is awesome ... May God Bless their union 🙏🏾🙌🏾
This is my fave episode and I’ve been committed since season 1! What a beautiful couple, testimonies, and revealing how God’s plan is the best plan! I appreciated their transparency. As a saved, single, black female therapist, this has blessed me! Definitely want to get her book! Laterras your podcast has blessed so many lives!
Thissssss is powerful ❤️🔥❤️🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 thank you for sharing this beautiful story. This is needed for the masses.
The message of today… I’m going to keep that as a motivational message ooo I love that….
Let your character outlive THEIR LIES!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️🔥💪🏾❤️🔥💪🏾💪🏾
This is a prime example of True Love. ❤️ No matter how far it may go or how long it may leave..it will ALWAYS find its way back. God is so faithful and miraculous in his ways. The best part of the podcast was seeing how unapologetically and unconditionally he loves her and I love that for her!!
it's been a great learning experience. The emphasis on forgiveness and love stood out to me. You and your husband are truly valuable to this generation.
39:27 “we’re going to get through this together” “I never want her to feel that loneliness” “whatever decision you made WE made that decision” 😢these statements alone res presents unconditional love 🤍🙌🏾 Lord Bless them immensely that no weapon formed against shall prosper In Jesus Name Amen 🙏🏾
They’re a beautiful couple! God is truly able 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Another Great One, Laterras!!!🔥 Thank You and Mr. And Mrs. Matthews!!!🎊💐💝🙏🦋
THIS ONE IS DEEP AND IM HERE FOR IT
I love this couple!!!! Laterras, you just keep blessing us with these stories of hope and healing! 💚
This couple's transparency is a great praise and worship to the Lord and a great help to the young and old. God's abundant blessings to them and you.❤❤❤❤❤🙏
Greg said,” embrace your struggle,embrace your beautiful chaos❤
This couple's story is such an amazing story. It's like confirmation of my story right now. I've been praying about something needing God's clarity and this story was God's answer and His peace.
Thanks for this episode
Love their journey and especially Mr. Matthews close out!!! Thank you Mr. Matthew for remaining Obedient even though your silence was misunderstood.
Mrs. Matthews you have been extremely blessed by your today with your Husband who prayed for you in his 9th year.
All I can say, "But GOD.". 🙏🏾❤️
This interview was NECESSARY!!!! Do you hear me, Laterras? Thank you for returning to these kinds of couples. That live was all God orchestrating this introduction to this couple.
I remember this couple from the live. I knew this would be an amazing story. I love how after all they have gone through God brought them back together with love and support for each other that is so strong. You can see this amazing love in how they vibe with each other. I appreciate how venerable Greg was with his feelings and telling their story. A man in touch with his softer side is a sign of strength, he’s a child of God. Many blessings to this couple and thank you Laterras for seeing something special in them and bringing them on to tell their story.🙏🏽❤️
I appreciate that they were able to have a second chance. She said that cheating doesn't feel good, but she lost me when she said she'd never leave if he cheated on her, and that he's her protector... That's not protection. I pray they stay faithful to one another and enjoy many years together.
He said it, too. Neither of them want an out of any kind!!!
It's good to be aware that the person you love could possibly cheat, not saying that I want them to or that they will but can't be naive to think that the temptation couldn't happen. Stay open-minded and take in everything logically and with love! ❤
Gregg let Shakela and the world know that I loss you one time I ain't gone lose you again, I love it because he stood up to her and life like a man God bless them.❤️❤️🙏
Not Laterras perfectly intertwining the Donell Jones 🎶Where I Wanna Be🎶 lyrics into their beautiful love story...that song had the worlds emotions in a chokehold!!
Seeing how their loving presence exuded on the LIVE and to now hear their journey...WHEW, we needed this blessing!
A heartfelt reminder to never give up on love, it will ALL come together beautifully in His timing🙏🏽❤️
This couple looks like sister and brother. Beautiful couple. Thank you for being transparent. I'm glad you are finally together. God's time. ❤️ 🙏🏽
SUCH a POWERFUL podcast!!!!
This is my favorite episode!!! Remembering myself in various stages, like high school, computer class and cute boy...Wendy's, when it was good😅 and Red Lobster. Getting married young and divorcing,etc. Felt like I have been around close friends. Enjoyed immensely!
This episode touched me so much. To hear this man say "he is not going nowhere". This man is in it to stay. So happy for both of you. Blessings to you both.
Another wonderful episode!! Continued blessings to them!!
This couple is beautiful. God is faithful to his promises.
I love their story to be able to overcome. Their misunderstanding was so misfortunate but I am glad they are together. This is literally why I am a person that I don’t leave things to chance. I am always going to dot my I’s and cross my T’s with my forever love leaving no room for misunderstandings 💜💜
Thank you for being so transparent. Your story will help others to stop and not get married when the warning signs are evident. Your story will make others stop and not play tit for tat to get back. Your story will show how God can take any hurt, shame, pain, blame, and other situations/circumstances; turning one's life into LOVE and HEALING....Thank you for sharing your powerful story.
