My parents got divorced when I was 10 and remarried when I was 21! 😅 they are still going strong 11 years later and my dad turns 80 soon. God is so good ❤
My parents married, divorced then married each other again!
I’m from the second marriage and my brother is from the first marriage!
They got married on the same wedding date both times ! LOL
I love this ❤!
That's wassupp!!!. Talk about the best of both worlds ❤
This woman is phenomenal. She should consider opening a non-profit to host seminars to rehabilitate women coming out of prison and teach them how to get back on their feet.
Yes, she is very smart and caring
The Grace of God is upon her.
I’m believing God for laterras marriage to be reconciled too ! God can do it! 🙌🏾
"We know we love each other. We don't need to put on a show for people".... POWERFUL
I have a friend her and her husband did the same thing. She wanted a divorce,she didn't understand or know how to combine church with spending time with her husband. He gave her the divorce,she dated someone else,he didn't,then she realized it wasn't so great out there. We all prayed and talked to her about her situation,they started dating again got back married,and the rest is history. He is and always the best godly man for her,but my friend had to go through that to realize it. God bless you all.😊😊
I did it and it was a disaster. Fell in with the “story” more than the person. Wasted another 15 years! Definitely a case by case situation. Folks need a balanced view. Don’t just run back to the ex. Most times you split for a reason!!!
@@CoachKharaI agree! Especially if it’s an abusive relationship and I’m not just talking physical abuse. A marriage can only work if both partners are honest, willing and able to put in the work.
@@Kmarie_R absolutely. I’m not knocking them. They seem perfect for each other. But some will get false hope and forget they need to evaluate THEIR situation. An ex is familiar. Not necessarily good. So you need to proceed with caution and take your TIME.
@@CoachKhara I totally agree! I’m happy for this particular couple as well. Speaking from experience not every story can end as this one did.
@@CoachKharahow much total did you spend w that person?
They like each other A LOTTTTTT, they give that homie, lover, friend energy, you can feel it through the screen, I was just cheesing throughout, they are soulmates, I'm glad they quickly worked it out and came back together, they are both very mature and quickly saw what the enemy was trying to do to their family and they both took accountability. Egos have ruined wayyy too many homes that could've been reconciled only if accountability was taken and apologies were given. Two powerhouses, y'all stay locked in, real is rare. Praying for continued success in all your endeavors. Stay blessed.
So true. They have a beautiful connection❤❤❤
When we stop letting our ego lead us, everyone wins ❤
Their marriage was like a river that splits and come s back to gather. They never stop flowing and now the flow is greater. God is over and in this union. God's abundant blessings to them forever more.❤❤❤
Can’t wait to watch this episode. I remarried my ex and wasted another 15 years of my life. But I see how it could work out for others. My upfront advice is to take your time RE-dating your ex. It didn’t work the first time for a reason and sometimes incompatibility is the root. It’s a lie that “there’s nothing out there”. So many stay in bad relationships using that “logic”. I left the second time and found my match!!
I was hoping someone would say this. If people don't make an effort to change....it's like "a dog returning to its vomit"🤷🏽♀️🥴
@@lb1798 yep! I’m nearly through the episode now. They seem like two peas in a pod. Every situation is so different. My ex and I were divorced for 3 years the first time. He was Mr Wonderful post divorce. Always available. Helpful with the kids. We got along wonderfully. He convinced me to remarry him and I felt like maybe he’d changed. And he had. He cheated less and in different ways. He was LESS toxic.. but underneath all of the stories I could tell, we just weren’t compatible. Didn’t speak the same language. Didn’t enjoy each other. I was dying daily. We were not a team. I carried the majority of the load and he was fine with that. LOVE hearing what a PROVIDER this guy is! That and fidelity is CRITICAL to me from here on out.
@CoachKhara This couple had to be apart to see their love because they WERE compatible...just lost appreciation for each other. THAT was not your experience, unfortunately. I hope you are finding peace and success in your life👍🏽❤️
Me too 💃🏾
Maaaaan I LOOOOVE THIS COUPLE!!!! You can really See that they belong together. BLESS THEM LORD!!!❤❤
I hate when people get a divorce and get married again quick. I think if there is an opportunity for reconciliation, it's lost when we immediately get into a new relationship. This is a beautiful story! I'm so happy for them. I'm happy they turned their lives around.
How can i love this a million times over?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
30 minutes in and this is one of my favorite episodes. They are just around the way people, and so down to Earth. I love it!
Yes! I agree - love this episode ❤
Pay attention to them always writing down everything and envisioning! And it all came to fruition! Power of manifestation and belief!!
Some couples are God-ordained , and I sense Marcus and Harriet are. That she's his true rib.
I smiled all the way through, listening to how God was moulding them through their experiences to make them stronger together. The enemy always wants to fight God-ordained unions, but Yahushua Jesus has the victory 🙌🏽🙏🏽💖💕🎊🎉
This is the realest episode. Couples must keep other people out of their business.
My ex-husband and I are one year in to dating again after 9.5 years divorced, so this video drew me in.
“When you’re married to the right person”. YESSS Laterras! We’ve gone too far to the other side. Sometimes it’s you, and sometimes it’s just not the right match. I’ve come to realize that when a couple is properly aligned, emotionally mature, available, self aware and not living through their insecurities…. It’s just easier. Not everyone married is working equally hard. Marriage/relationships shouldn’t be exhausting. They should be fulfilling and together the couple should be fruitful.
Too many are swimming completely upstream because they are with the wrong partner!
Many couples are entangled in their pride after divorcing, although deep within themselves they know that, they have made the biggest mistakes of their lives...the worst part is that they end up bitter, angry & full of thick rage. AND relationships continue to be very hard for them as emotional baggage continues to flare! I applaud this couple..❤
Many divorces are also necessary though. The flip side of this is all those who get their healing and move forward in great relationships with more compatible partners. My opinion is that MOST divorces are not a mistake. Even as I type I know at least 3 couples that need to break the cycle and split up. Bad marriages can have generational impacts avoided if folks part ways peacefully and stop the bleeding. Sometimes it just isn’t working and can’t.
@@CoachKharabut I don’t think she’s talking about those marriages that you are talking about. I think she’s specifically speaking about those marriages where they feel like they’ve made a mistake in divorcing. And because they’re so prideful, they move on and date, knowing where their heart and mind should be. Which then creates divisiveness in all of their proceeding relationships.
You both are very correct. But you’re making a point that is completely different than what she stated.
@@CoachKharawe both used the word "MANY" 🤷🏽♀
@@lelo46 I was speaking to the theory that many people regret their divorce. Pride and ego are in play in every single divorce. But base compatibility is also necessary. I’m now nearly through the episode and they definitely seem to be very compatible and ideal for each other. I see why they got back. They also had in infidelity to get over thank goodness.
Most circle backs actually don’t work any differently
This couple is the definition of LIT. This is real transparency and I appreciate it.
There is a place in love where you can let go of all your fears and worries to usher you to where you are called to be. I believe that’s one of the reasons why the enemy fights so hard to keep purpose partners separated. This episode was so beautiful. It reminds me not to settle for anybody other than who God has for me, regardless of who they are or what they have.
Absolutely! That's powerful 🙌🏾
Amen and amen!
I’m only 7 minutes in and I’ve enjoyed this episode so much. I’m so glad they’re back together
I loveeedded it!!!
I absolutely loved this episode. It just exudes good old fashioned BLACK love!!! They just work and I'm glad they shared their love story with us.❤
@@angelaphelps9986yesss it feel like Uncle & Aunty sharing how it was back in the day. Definitely a genuine, relatable love story!
I really enjoyed their realness and transparency. It just goes to prove that true love can come about in bizarre and different ways. Everyone’s story will be unique, and I love it!! ❤
Such a beautiful couple, I see humility, true love, grace, forgiveness, two people who are ready to learn and move forward.
Great episode.
I appreciate this couple throwing away their pride and ego and seeing what really matters. To know their interdependence of one another is to make them better people.
I said the same thing
As you read your letter to your future wifey at the end. When I heard the word "tempest," I went to look up the meaning, lol. Then, I got sidetracked. And found myself inspired to write this little bit of poetry here: "I speak it right now! I am warmth and peace. I am 73° degrees. The Holy Spirit is on the inside me. God gives me everything that I need. I am love. I am a warrior in every way. Prayer still slays. Now let's go to work! Ain't no time for dessert! I am philanthropy, it is innate in me. I believe in Jesus Christ, the giver of life. May my life be sweet. Jesus makes me complete. Warmth and peace, is so so who I want to be when I wake up! And when I go to sleep."
Love it... you've got a natural ability 🎉 Keep writing. Who knows?
I watched this episode earlier today, and this couple just seems to be made for each other. It’s amazing, they really didn’t elaborate on God said this or that , nor I prayed this or that, but it just seemed like they were literally built for each other. The husband did make some statements that led me to believe he understands and operates by biblical principles. If they had sought marriage therapy previously, they probably wouldn’t have gotten divorced, but like he said , I guess they had to go through those dark moments to get to where they are, which is Living the Dream. I pray that they continue to Live not only their dreams, but God’s dreams and purposes for their lives.❤
These people are amazing. Extremely likable and they genuinely seem to like each other and be very much in love.
I’m so happy that they found themselves back to each other.
I believe in true love. I don’t care what nobody says. I’m not a hopeless romantic. I’m a hopeFUL romantic. Their story makes my heart happy. Look at God 🙏🏽💚
Currently watching the episode, but can I say that I love everything about this couple......back to watching, but I know this is a good one!!!!❤❤❤❤
I know and love Harriet and Marcus, so glad they made it through.
Prime example can’t let others in your business, they will try to count your pockets when they not bringing any money in the pockets, they try to bleed their misery into other relationship.. keep people out your relationship.. also, I believe if the relationship is meant to be it will be and it will Come back.. glad y’all got back together.. y’all seem happy and making things happen.. always remember y’all not in competition with each other y’all are each other help mate/ teammate
Out of everything I've heard, what I received is what God puts together let no man destroy. Not even if the man is yourself.
Yes❤❤❤
This was a beautiful story, and it is such a blessing to see that before they got too far away from one another, they realized they needed one another. 💜
I love, love, love this interview! You can tell that their foundation is rooted in God and true friendship! May God bless your REunion! ❤
Bless this couple with a lifetime of happiness! God is good!🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
There is a couple in the UK who are Ugandans,they divorced for 6 years,and now they are back together it's been 6 years now since they remarried.
Nothing is impossible for God to do.
Our God is a God of restoration.
If you are married to the right person,you will always find your way back when you separate
I'm glad they're back together, but in my opinion a year after a divorce from a 10-year marriage is too soon to be playing with other people's hearts.
I always appreciate honesty, vulnerability and vulnerability! I love how they touch on the simple things making a relationship work and that it isn’t about money!
Good morning from MD. I pray everyone is having a beautiful week. Peace and Blessings to you all!!!🥰🥰
I truly enjoyed this interview! So glad that they didn't allow pride to destroy their second chance. I've had a few friends who have reconciled with their spouses. What a beautiful story.
I truly enjoyed that their journey wasn't over. Let's keep our family business between one another. Everyone, that's says they're for you are not. They learned an important lesson that they love and need each other.
❤❤
This headline sounds like my mom and bonus dad's love journey. They've been married 3 times. Still together...and are meant for each other. OK let me listen!
Awh love that bonus Dad title
Real people. Real love. Common sense. Partners. Yin and Yang. Awesome!
This was so good and funny. Harriet has done me and my daughters hair before. I've never known anything about her except for that $50 sew in was hittin back in the day lol. Kudos to them for not letting that real love die ❤. True love is hard to find.
I love this episode. I am so happy for them that they were able to reconcile. Praying and hoping for nothing but the best for them and their future.
Love me some Harriet !! ❤ Realest in the City she gives back and the most humble and beautiful person you will ever meet! She inspires us all and she really is her sisters keeper!!
♥ Another beautiful story of love, understanding, realization and accountability.
I love love love their story! They trusted each other and put their egos to the side to make it happen. Their partnership and willingness to work it out is commendable.
It was all worth it!! I love their love!! May God continue to cover this union!! 🙏🏾 🖤
I just loved this interview, I could tell by the way they were seated next to each other. Funny thing my mother threatened my dad with divorce I do not know what was going on in between but my father went forward and filed and it shook my mom to her core.
My dad didn’t want it but my mom let’s just say cried wolf and found out lol. Happy for these two reigniting their love.
I love this. I have been divorced for 10 years and it hasn't been easy being single. Blessings to you.❤💜
Halfway there divorced for 5 yrs. It hasn't been easy but the peace, and development has been been fabulous.
I pray the lord restores your love life in Jesus name❤
Thank you💜@@walkingministries5803
Qualified for it or not you will be tested, life is education you keep on learning at times by force😂, pass or fail you keep learning, Because God knows what's best for us, 🙏 Zambia 🇿🇲.
Chile as soon as she said her sister is in Desoto still doing $50 sew ins I rannnnnn to IG to find them!! 😂
Hilarious
Can you please share? I'm not on social media.
That $50 price is almost unheard of these days😮 You better book that appt ASAP😂
Thanks for your vulnerability!! This was encouraging & refreshing & I pray that the love , joy, prosperity& peace of God over take you both & the lives of your family & every one connected to you!
GOD restores ❤
This made me feel so warm-hearted. I'm so happy you'll didn't allow pride and stubbornness to stop your true love❤
This was life changing because I'm currently living with the lost of divorce yet something is still there! I believe we're both healing and growing but I don't know what the future will bring but I feel like he's my missing piece! Ego-pride and unforgiveness-😢😢😢
This made my heart full. Thank you all for sharing this story. This is real. I like the way they think. Real down to earth.
They should do a Couples Business & Finance Master Class. They would excel at this with their eyes closed. 🏆🔥 🔥 🔥 🎯
I love ❤️ them and their story. Glad they were able to put their differences aside and bring it back together. Shout to them and wish them much happiness.
Such an inspiring episode. They encouraged my relationship dreams, financial dreams and what’s possible when you have your person. Black excellence personified!
Great episode! Such a down to earth couple. Many wishes for an abundant and successful marriage, the second time around.
“We finna rock it until we are in rocking chairs!” That’s it!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love this couple’s story! It is the very reason why I love the ministry God has given me to walk with women who have experienced divorce, while going through a divorce, and when the marriage is in trouble. It is a wonderful thing to see marriages restored even when it looked as if it looked like it was completely over. God is the best restorer of marriages with purpose.
May God strengthen this couple as they continue to live out the purpose of their re-union.💜
Oh my goodness another one of my favorite couples. That won’t be my story, but I Loved ❤️theirs. They were so transparent and real. 👏🏾👏🏾
I low-key structure my weeks around Wednesdays, eagerly anticipating a new episode. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when this season ends 😂
Pray for me y'all. Love from the 🇧🇸
I really enjoyed this couple’s journey and conversation. Thank you for keeping it LIT.
I love this couple. They are so transparent and it shows you what God can do. May god continue to bless your union. GREAT INTERVIEW!
Oh wow it's nice to see my alumni doing big tings! Being open and vulnerable about our experiences is not an easy task for all to see. Thanks Laterras for your platform that heals❤
I enjoyed this episode! I know what they mean when they said the separation was necessary for them to appreciate what they had. 😮💨 Great interview! I also like that you added a tab for the Letter to your future Wifey! Nice!
This episode is so amazing! As I was watching, I could see the love they have for each other. Not to mention how they are so intentional towards one other! Now, when two people can separate and then give grace to one another to cultivate something special, it is so amazing! God takes us through the good, the bad, and the ugly so when it's special you and your purpose partner will know that God molded the relationship for a reason and THAT reason is the meaning of we are "here" and loving each other beyond measures! Thank you for giving us a taste of your love story!
Love, love, love this couple! They were built for each other. Feed off each other as it should be. I am so glad they figured it out, cut everybody OUT. I stick to the rules when it comes to outsiders; you don't talk about your Money, Man or Moves. Praying for their future success.
Love this couple, they have helped so many with their testimony. I am glad they got back together. 💚🙌🏾
I’m so happy to see them back together. They flow. They are right.
.....i pray their marriage thrive this time round 🙏.... amazing conversation as always Mr DFW 🔥🔥
I really appreciated how transparent they were and how they were able to laugh with each other about all the ups and downs. This was humorous as well as enlightening.
Great testimony about the power of a second chance, especially if that’s your hearts desire. May God continue to bless their union as they walk in purpose❤️
The beauty of this letter has me speechless👏
This is the perfect example of a Kingdom marriage. God had to pull them apart to break them which brought out the person He created them to be and for the purpose He has for their lives! I truly enjoyed listening to them.
I enjoyed this.. praying many years of marital bliss for these two😍❤️🙏🏾
I don’t say this to often but I love them for each other!! ❤❤
As a counselor, our job is not to convince a couple to stay together, but help a couple to work through what they are willing to commit to and realistically see where they are. If they find that divorce is their choice, how can this be work through the most peaceful and productive way. I love working with couples, especially those who are willing to put in the work and to listen. THANKFUL to hear this couple's testimony. I'm sure I will be using them as an example in some of my sessions. (':
They are truly meant to be together, the realness of this relationship is so beautiful. God is intentional and faithful 🙏🏾 God bless them.
I pray that y'all cherish the love because i can see it and feel it as well. What's meant to be will be. Love this
This was a GREAT testimony! God continue to bless you both
My GOD, This is Beautiful! My husband and I grew up together and dated over 25 years ago. Went our separate ways married other people and had children. We reconnected 1/18/22, engaged in October 2022 and married 1/18/23 and it’s been absolutely beautiful! We both Believe GOD made US ESPECIALLY for each other.

Wasn't it so refreshing
Great show. I’m the divorced grandmother. We still come together for the grand babies.
They met each other & was equally yoked in the same place with the same mindset. This is how we all suppose to be. The simplicity is good.
This is so sweet, so happy for the both of you!!!
I just Love this Couple‼️ They are Real and straight to the point. Love each other for Real and was a Joy to listen to‼️
This is one of my favorite episodes. Wishing you two all the best ❤
Great episode! I love seeing their growth as individuals and as a couple. Just beautiful!

This episode was EVERRRRRYTHING!!! I loved the transparency and the way they just love each other!! I inspire to one day have a hubby that chooses to love me despite my past and my flaws!! Thank you for this season of tough topics. It was needed in a world that is so surfaced driven! Amen
My current wife and i were divorced 10 years we are remarried for 2 years now. Love her to life!
Absolutely love the honesty of this couple! Great episode. I wish them all the best!
