I don’t care how high a man goes, there are certain levels that he will NEVER touch if he doesn’t have that good wife by his side because of the favor that comes with her. Ive heard several different men, even Charlemagne telling other men that if they want to go to the next level, get a good woman! I mean, it had Kevin running down the street in his drawls for his!!!! 🤣🤣

    Melissa and Kevin story is definitely how I see my ex-husband and I. However, I told him after the fact if he just came after me I would have stayed. After he started going through stuff with other women he dated he told me he wish he would have fought for me and the kids. I admit, like Laterras, I didn’t have integrity so I cheated because I was searching what I wanted him to give which was the biggest bad choice of my life. I told my ex-husband and he forgave me. Pride on both of our parts contributed to where we are. I beg of people put your pride aside and fight for your marriage. You have to water the grass no matter where you go❤🙏🏽

    Kev said, “I fight for the future in the present” that’s so powerful. I also love when Melissa gave the rainbow, rain, and pot of gold analogy. Also when she explained that LOVE is a RISK but at the vow renewal she’ll be able to KNOW IT BE TRUE because she’s walked this words out! Come on MELISSA you better say that!! Like WOWWWW! So AMAZING! This is so BEAUTIFUL! Such a great episode!

    Wait… I was not ready for Kev to ask “So, why’d you cheat on her then?” 😩 and LRW’s response😂

    • @katrinaevans7588
      @katrinaevans7588 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes! Kev was bold to ask but LRW did not take offense and used it to respond by sharing what he learned from his mistakes. Plus he was so young when he was married.

    This episode is right up there with the couple (the woman is blind and her husband is her eyes) . As I type this I hate I can't remember their names but when I tell you that episode and this one makes my heart leap with joy. They both exemplify the long lasting fighting love, not struggle love. A lot of nuggets in here. Love it!

    When I say this was one of the best conversations I can relate to about the highs and lows of marriage. I’ve been married for 23 years and I truly understand the “sweat equity!” required to sustain your marriage. Thank you Kevin & Melissa for your master class on Marriage. The words Melissa articulated so beautifully why she wants to renew her vows moved me to tears.. when you have walked out the vows for 20 years and didn’t allow anyone or anything to separate… a celebration is certainly in order. God bless you both!!!
    Thank you Lateras, your podcast is so rewarding, enlightening, informative and a blessing. I have so many take aways from your guest and I appreciate what you stand for, allowing all your guest a safe space to be seen and heard. Many blessings to you!!! 😊🙏🏾

    1. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." I am sooooooo glad Kevin recognizes Melissa as his favor. Because of her, God truly blessed him/them..........
    2.FURTHERMORE, I LAUGHED SO HARD WHILE WATCHING THIS PODCAST. LAUGHTER TRULY IS GOOD MEDICINE.
    3. Melissa had me in tears when she said, "On your wedding day, when you say your vows, you hope them to be true; but after decades of marriage, when you say your vows, (10/20/30/40/50 years), you KNOW them to be true. (T-E-A-R-S)

She is So very correct the vows hit totally different after 20 years!!! 25 years ago We made a vow "through sickness and in health" not knowing sickness meant no more ambulating...we made a vow "for rich or poor" not knowing that a bankruptcy & foreclosure was down the road. Yessss! Totally different after a few seasons together.❤ #LearnGrow
