Hearing couples who put God first in their relationship is truly beautiful.
It is ❤️❤️
I Totally agree!
You are so right ✅👏🙌
Say that
❤
I commend Lexi for battling to silence and shut up the whispers and noise of the enemy. She did not accept the lies and heard the truth. Having a counsellor or a godly couple to be accountable to...is actually key....love it.
Thank you for being so transparent. A lot of times “CZcams” couples do not want to share the bad times in their relationship. However, you guys opening up allows others to take away vital information that they can apply to their lives. So again thank you for being so open and transparent. ♥️
One of the challenging situations I’ve been dealing with is with college, particularly my schools nursing program. I’ve known for years what I wanted to do in life. The struggle with my school has been ongoing. There has been nights I just stayed up and cried because I felt like everything wasn’t going the way I planned it or I just wanted to give up. I can honestly say that I felt abandoned by God during some points because of the anger and heartache that came with the situation. However during those midnight crying sessions through music I would feel His presence letting me know everything would be alright. The first time around I didn’t get in and now I’m waiting for the decision for this time around. I know God does things in His own timing and when He sees fit to open the door to the next part of my education I will be willing and ready to step through the door.
♥️ love y’all
We will definitely be praying for you thank you so much for sharing and being transparent
Amen!

I really don’t think it’s any bodies business about their personal business. If you don’t share your personal business about your secrets online, why do you think it’s your business to know others?
I pray that the Holy Spirit be your daily companion. Thank you for being vulnerable and truthful. I see the grace you extend to each other and it's truly beautiful! 💘
Thank you so much 🤎
The hardest moment in my life was when my brother committed suicide, and then a week later my aunt passed away but Prayer Changes Things, and learning to forgive, guys are like a breath of fresh air, what up Neighbors , in case you forgot I'm from River Rouge Michigan.🤗❤
Sending you love and prayers
I graduated from Rouge High.
You two have more wisdom than couples twice your ages. Great conversation.
I’m like Bryan. I’m a person who likes to get things done and make fast decisions..... sometimes which ends up in bad endings. God chastised me about this and I’m now learning to lean on God and not my own understanding.....: Thanks for sharing this. Very relatable
Just the humility in hIs body language is amazing.... Many men struggle with their ego d admitting fault.... Thank God for walking you guys through this season
On May 30th my husband and I celebrated 22yrs of marriage. The level of communication, trust, love for each other and Love for God in this family is so strong... Yes forgiveness is also important. pray that God continue to bind you together with cords that cannot be broken....🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞
Man!!! One main thought that went through my head is “and yet you guys still CONSISTENTLY posted videos throughout those hardships.” You guys are the epitome of greatness! I love it! -crystal!
Lesson in this....listen to your wife!!!! This is why I am divorced, my husband did not value my opinion or input his ego ruled the relationship. I am happy and pleased you communicated and valued each other. Prayer changes everything💟
Idk if it's the hair or what but you look so cute sis!!!
Aww, I'm praying for you both! My parents have been married for going on 55 years. My parents would rely on their faith in Jesus as well and reminds me of the importance of recognizing there has to be room to grow together. My mom mentioned that because the word of God is established in Heaven forever, that's why their marriage lasted so long. Also with 11 kids later! Much fruit will continue to come out of your union for God's Kingdom. Stay encouraged in faith, hope and love family! God is truly able to carry you both in all things!
I don’t know you both personally, but I am proud of you both. I pray for you both often. You guys show me what’s possible through your God-honoring marriage and deep love for one another. Thank you. 😭
We appreciate that so much 🤎🤎
This is such a powerful marriage on so many levels, especially because of what ya'll shared in this post. Trust definitely has to be earned and grow, especially when it is broken or uncertain. Ya'll are troopers and blessed!
I surely gained a family here,you two are just theee beeessst💕💕💕💕
I totally agree...family, indeed!!!!!!
You know what? Forgiveness is truly an ongoing act, it is never ending work. And all the things you guys did to overcome that season are truly things every Christian should apply to every area of their life including work, school, and ministry. Communication, therapy, forgiveness, renewing our mindsets. Well said and thank you for being transparent you guys give me hope for my future husband (wherever the heck he is 😂).
This is so healthy, it is healing for the soul. Two people that trust each other so well that they are humble enough to acknowledge their wrongs. Understand it's perfectly okay to fall out as long as it is quickly noticed and efforts are made to reconcile before things get worse. This is love. All the best to your beautiful family ✝️💕
I'm so glad that you guys are staying close to God and keeping Him as the head of it all, so keep up the good work and may God continue to bless the both of you and your little daughter ❤.
Wow!! My husband and I have been married for 23 years and it for sure is great, but not always easy! I think you both are helping many people by sharing your journey and that is fantastic!! I look forward to following your next adventures! 😍
God took you both on a journey, from bottom of the pity to the mountain top. Been faithful through all of this,
I admire your strength and perseverance. 🙏🤲
U have both passed this TEST with flying colours.Congratulations.U still have hurdles with your Three Children.To God Be the Glory.
Thank you so much 🤎
This is wisdom on so many levels. So thankful for you both sharing. My hubby and I send our best wishes to you both. You have helped us by sharing and we have been together 24 years. Shout out from Orlando, FL as we live out our #EdenLife
Guys, this was a true lecture about partnership, faith and maturity. Thank you, it made me think about important stuff in my life. I am praying for you, best wishes from Brazil!
You guys continue to inspire me! My hardest time in single hood was walking this Christian life not being or feeling whole even as a leader within the church and having community and in love with Jesus I felt like I was missing something. I wanted to be married and although I wasn’t thirsty and throwing myself at men I felt incomplete in my desire to be married and was not content. Till about 4 years ago. After 14years of walking in purity I fell to sin with a toxic person and it was a repetitious thing that drowned me in shame guilt and condemnation since it was my kids father after all those years of seeking healing and stuff I fell. Thank goodness for grace and mercy and my church family that loved me so well and walked me through breaking that soul tie and healing here I stand confident although there are moments I question GOD like where he at 😂….. I’m still learning to love myself first and be completely confident in my single lice
This video speaks volumes! It really shows just how good of a husband and wife you both are to each other. As a single woman, seeing your relationship encourages me to wait on God and not be impatient for a relationship. Thank you for sharing.
11:25 "not letting resentment take root" Yes!! So proud of you Lexi. And that can only be achieved by the Holy Spirit and communication. 11:52 please note this part. The more hurdles you overcame, the stronger you two became. As you overcame one hurdle, another appeared and you overcame that too. Back to back tests. That was a marathon/sprint of trials. Overcoming those is mega victory. Produces a kingdom marriage that is now highly valuable.
I appreciate this channel, although having a healthy marriage is extremely important, it’s also very important to be transparent and show that everything is not and hasn’t always been perfect. That’s the beautiful thing about marriage! You can mature together and grow together. May God continue to bless this beautiful family in Jesus name ❤️
That's why we need God in our life marriage communication can be difficult at times we need to remember. Got our spouse it's not the enemy
Brian, you made me cry at 20:30!!!! 😭 ...and God protecting you from feeling condemned and making it new, because you are a visionary, but Lexi has the blueprints and stepping stones that make your visions, dreams come to fruition! God bless ya'll! ...so deep! Honesty is so beautiful!
This message is a blessing for my life
That was the Holy Spirit speaking through her. It's such a blessing that you two keep God first in your life and marriage and that forgiveness and communication is at the foremost of your lives. May the Lord continue to guide both of you for years to come❤
Thank you for this real life segment.
Our marriage is almost at the 30 year anniversary mark.
Your honesty reminds us that we need to always pray and not become self sufficient.
This is ministry.
Thank you very much, to both of you.
I wish more couples could see this video. Especially husbands.
Strong, capable, intelligent, so-called “alpha” men who may even have a relationship with God, sometimes forget that He has blessed them with that partner who can act as a messenger to hear His Word and guidance and warnings.
Husbands will pray to God for guidance sometimes forgetting that their prayers have already been answered in the wisdom of the wife-partner He has bestowed upon them❤️
Happy to see you two “get it.” 😊👍🏾🤗
You guys are seriously relationship goals!
I am Brian. Brian is me. So, I felt this on a guttural level. I identify with all the lows and valleys. And I did it all by myself (the trouble and the journey through). Thank you for sharing guys. ♥♥♥
I am so very sorry for what happened to you two! God is faithful to restore everything that you lost. Be strong you two. God bless you!
This discussion sounds way too familiar. That's the exact thing that happened to me and my ex. Glad you guys were able to work through it and doing great now!!!!
No marriage is perfect but being with a partner who is willing to change and listens is the key, and the fact that you both love God is everything thing🙌🏾
May the good lord bless your family much love from Germany.🥰🙋🏾♀️
Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh I’m living for your « SERIOUS » videos. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾❤️
What you are describing is real life, you guys give us little snippets of the smiley parts of your life and we don't want to think about how life can deal you pot holes, and lemons. But thanks for sharing I know it's not easy to share the personal part of your life God bless you and your family ❤️
The strength of your marriage is not that the challenge came... As it it was a weak spot... The strength is that systems and behaviors are in place to get through the tough place. So you were strong and now your stronger with valuable tools in your arsenal against the enemy that stage against marriages. Thanks for sharing and being transparent.
Remember in marriage 1+1=1 and my advice to you will be never go to bed with something bothered you inside, always forgive each other because tomorrow belongs to God. Glad you have over come this phases and continue to put God in centre of your marriage.the 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Am hearing this at a time in my life where I have to get back to putting God first, very encouraging
Thanks for your vulnerability. Sharing the difficult things puts viewers into perspective that things may not always be peachy, but always returning to the heart of God will always get us through difficult processes. Remain rooted in Christ, praying for you.
Hi guys! I'm new to the channel and I must say this video has blessed my husband and I in more ways than one! As we're going through a season change in our marriage, we're learning to lean more onto God and seeking His will for our journey together. Thanks so much for your transparency.
I give you props for being real. So many people want to show how much in love they are but not the problems that show up in a relationship. The biggest issue I faced was deciding not to marry and convincing others I wasn't gay because of that decision.
I enjoy you two as a couple. It's so important, especially in marriage, to work through the hard times while continuing to have respect for each other and also taking accountability for your actions. I don't know you but I am proud of you and how you represent marriage as part of the body of Christ.
It’s so true that sometimes we inadvertently make decisions without consulting or even considering God and/or our spouse. The Bible even gives a warning in Deuteronomy 8:17,18, saying, “Beware lest you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.' You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
Thank you for presenting and showing us a REAL couple with REAL life issues of a married couple. You are a blessing to and for so many couples. May God contine bless you!!
Loved so much about this. Loved Brian’s humility & that your solid marriage foundation saw you through.
Be there done that! This is real talk!! Sounds so much like what my husband and I went through the only difference is I allowed the resentment to set in but praise be to God! God showed me that what I was feeling was resentment towards my husband and I had to let it go but it’s like you said it’s a process but one it which I’m willing to work through now. It’s like a breathe of fresh air. We have a ways to go but we’re doing it together now. 🙌🏽💯😍🤗
This family always gives content that is real and relatable. Knowing that things can go downhill and understanding how situations can turn to resentment and how big of a problem that is in and of itself. You two are so wise and so mature. Truly you can see how God is present in this marriage. I am so proud of you two.
Awe 😍😘 Its the transparency for me. Love you guys, not many people talk, love how you both let it out which in turn I'm sure will help you both. I'm a talker as well, its what attracted myself to your channel. Love this video also..... more content like this well (storytime) anyway. 🤗😍
The refining process is so amazing! The sandpaper hurts. Myles Munroes books about understanding the role of a woman and understand the role of a man are really essential reading. PTL u allowed urselves to look deeper into ur individual contributions into what happened. Many male men don't really understand the role of female men. What an awesome testimony!!! PTL that u r both doing what needs to be done.
This was beautiful when you are a child of God thing always work out blessing
This vlog was extremely fruitful. Thank you for your transparency and being naked about this season of your marriage and how you worked through the process of healing and recovery. May the Lord continue to bless you in all your plans, goals and achievements in life. 😊🙏🏾🙌🏾
Such to good people and parents
When God wants to get you to the next level, there’s always a New devil. But God….. Praise Him! He got you through it all. AMEN. ❤🙏🏾 you are Blessed. Both of you! And you have a testimony to be examples to others. May God continue to bless you and your family! 🙏🏾
Putting God first in our marriage and our general life as really been of a great gain to us.... God first🙌🙌. Thanks to you both for sharing this great part of your life with us🤗
Lean, not on your own understanding.. Thank God you are a praying family.
God works in ways that surpass human understanding.
My husband and I had a big argument this morning to the point where he said I do nothing.
I had to dig deep with tears in my eyes to praise God in the midst of this.
I felt worthless, as though I do nothing right.
Then I took a walk and the Holy Spirit whispered to me to be humble. Let your husband know that you appreciate all that he does.
So I stood in the street, pulled out my phone, and wrote out how much I appreciated what my husband does for me and how much I value the person he is.
I then came home and sat to kind of cool my brain for a bit and was led to this video.
Thank you for being so open to the world; this can't be easy for both of you to be so open and vulnerable to the world but know that because of it you help others to know that life is not always perfect, but we serve a perfect God who will work everything out for good for those who serve Him.
Thank you "Cole family"
Guys thank y’all for being so transparent! As a person who is going through a season of learning to be transparent and trusting the guy I’m dating. I can honestly say watching this, I felt in my heart that I knew this wasn’t easy to share, but that you guys must really feel that it’s worth it to let strangers in so that they can be encouraged.
Lexi, as a woman who desires to be a wife someday I can honestly say I am so inspired by how you loved and covered your husband. I hear women talk all the time about covering their man through tough times, and I feel you did just that and did it phenomenally. Thank you also Bryan for showing us women that a man can own up and be vulnerable and still be strong. I think sometimes we women don’t think that we can have both in a man, but you have shown us that with God all things are possible.
My hardest season that I’ve been to ever been through I can’t really think of one. I think of something, then something else pops in my head. I will say something that is hard right now is just trusting my heart and the things I feel insecure about or even just embarrassed about with someone else. Thank the Lord he’s blessed me with an amazing man who shows me time and time again that he can be trusted and is the worth the hard, but that’s the hardest thing right now.
Thanks again for sharing and I will definitely be praying for you guys!
Wow this really touched me thank you so much for sharing this and yes trust takes time and I’m glad he is patient as long as their is progression with that trust, you’ll get to the point of him being your full safe space
Thank YOU so much for sharing your story ❤.
This is what a relationship is about. Thank you for sharing your deep experiences. I am sure it will help others. Brian you mentioned foundation.That's the key word. From the beginning in your relationship you build a strong,spiritual foundation.God bless you both. You are truly an example .
Thank you for sharing and being so honest❤️
Thank you for sharing. It helps to remind to look in "your" own mirror.
Love, “willing to change and grow”. This is key to a healthy loving and trusting marriage. Thank you for your transparency. 💕
Love hearing this convo, love how you guys are sharing how you made it through difficult times
You guys are truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your life with us and being so transparent! May your union continue to grow in wisdom, power, & love !
Love you guys thank for sharing your story with us ❤❤🇬🇾
I'm here for such conversations🙌 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for being transparent. Some people may just think of the romance when it comes to marriage, but it also involves resolving and communicating openly about issues that arise. I relate to Lexi; it would be hard to easily forgive if my partner depleted our savings, but I know Brian has so much respect and love for Lexi that this bad season will only help to strengthen their marriage going forward. I will pray for you, along with marriage relationships in general. (:
I love y'all even more watching this! I have watched my parents marriage and how they have handled different seasons, and they always tell us how important it is to have a strong foundation. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing your testimony. To God be the glory. May God continue to Bless your union.🙏❤
This is such a timely video🙏🏽 thanks for sharing your story.
Continued blessings on your marriage. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thanks for sharing that marriage is hard work and the fact that God blesses the family that keeps HIM ever present ❤️🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing this, and for being so open about things. That's a wild story--we thank God for sustaining your marriage in the midst of these trials. We are also an interracial couple walking out our Christian faith in marriage. You have been a blessing to us both, and have helped us a lot in our journey. God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing guys that was pretty insightful .I really appreciate it. ❤️👍🏽
You guys are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Praying that God continues the work he has begun in both of you! Blessings!
Thank you for your transparency
Thank you for sharing. This was helpful for me and continued prayers for you both
I never want to be outside the will of, it exposes you, I feel the same way. Pride sets in and all those other ugly things come and if it takes root in your soul,
You have to do unnecessary work to get it back together. It bothers your peace and rest. Been there, but I am glad I serve a GOD of many chances to get right after repeating and getting back in right standing with our Lord , who only wants the best for our earthly lives.
You two are a blessing
