My husband told me he wanted to marry me on the first date..6 months later we got married..,he’s a good man. Don’t waste your life on a man women...if he don’t want you let him go..🌸🤚🏾
True however in 2021 I wouldn't be marrying no man after the first date and definitely won't be marrying after 6 months. You is the exception to the rule and I respect that ☺️❤️ But ladies in general do get to know someone first
@@quitaakaqui yes it’s right to get to know the person but don’t get trapped by a man for years waiting on him to propose or be a “friend” for years wasting time. Good luck.
@@sarahscroggins2793 didn’t say wait thaaaaat long lol but long enough I been through it too many times not getting to know a person first . Lesson learned .
Because he doesn’t want to!! A man knows the woman he wants to marrry and it don’t take 6 years!! One reason you NEVER shack and play house, he’ll string you along for 8 years and marry the next woman after 9 months!
Majority of men's jus dnt wnt 2 own up 2 the responsibilities that comes along with marriage. Most men's out here not fit 2 be anyone hubby on providing 4 a family👪Smh
I can see that and I'll add from my personal experience, my ex had put me through a lot of stuff before marriage and before we divorced I was to the point where I just wanted out for good which included resentment, hurt, anger, communication issues due to the past plus the issues that were current at that time. We were together 2years before marriage but broke up for about 4months and then we reunited. However, looking back the smartest move would have been to let bygones be bygones even though we have a son together.
i think this is the case with my sisters friend 18+ years she wasted her whole 20"s now shes 40 ant they engaged and have a date set and church to get married this year.. tbh i think she is doing it so it doesnt look like she waisted her time,,she/he doesnt have any kids so she stuck to her guns with that because they werent married but they dont even look in love or like which is the sad part i do think its the resentment piece in the equation..she wasted her youth with this guy and now hes balding she looks older than her age ..I dont see this lasting 18 years together dating but the outcome might be less than 5 years sadly because everyone sees the red flags but she needs to prove see after all these years we are getting married smh
Ladies don’t confuse chemistry with compatibility. I’ve had amazing conversations and sexual attraction to dusties/lovebombers who I should NEVER walk down the aisle with! Men know exactly what they want and who they want it with. 💕
Honestly most men today are not looking for wifes honestly. I feel like it's mostly because of the influence today, and that women give boyfriends husband benefits.
Exactly! As one of the TV judges used to say: don't give wife duties at girlfriend prices... in my own life I've seen friends invest so much into a man and get mad when he leaves. when I make investments I'm looking for a return on my investment, but a GF BF relationship ain't one of them by being a wife without being married. Many of us have made mistakes in the relationship area but I have let my mistakes be a wake-up call for me. Time going by too fast to let someone take that much life from you and not invest into you.
Women aren’t to blame. There is only one group of men not marrying in large numbers. No matter how much women in other groups run wild, they still get married.
What if he never finds that though? Then what? He ran through plenty of good women just to end up 70 and with no one 🤣. It’s just crazy to me!! But I wish them well. The stats aren’t in women’s favor when it comes to marriage.
@@shutit4024 we’re waiting for something that isn’t going to happen 🥺. Well it’ll happen for a small amount of us women ,25 % (black women, I’m black). That’s why sometimes I don’t see the point in the “the one” or marriage conversation because the men aren’t getting married like that. They don’t value marriage like we do lol. But I’ll remain hopeful 🙏🏽.
I've heard those stories so many times. Couples that have been together for years then get married and divorce a year later. Then there are couples that marry after 6 months and are together for 25 years.
i know someone thats been together 18 years and they 39 and now they are engaged to be married..the man has been cheating and a raging alcoholic for years...Its a bad decision but i think she wants to get married because she wasted all those years tbh thats why people dont last after being together that long
He won’t marry you because he doesn’t want you. Women we must accept the truth. When a job doesn’t hire you... usually they will say, you’re not a good fit or we have decided to go with another applicant. In that job situation, you have to accept that job wasn’t for you. If a man doesn’t propose, he isn’t the one. Keep it moving quickly ladies to position yourself for the man that is for you.
"Keep it moving quickly?" How?when people love hard they get wounded badly its very difficult to move on even if they wanted to. Shouldnt they heal first or should their new partner help them with that?
@Abc Def facts!!! Like I said it’s the character of a man is what I believe because I knew a few couples who had sex before marriage, live in the house before marriage, had kids and still gotten married and are married over 25 years ( happily married I add) and you can just see the light in their eyes when they’re around each other, that’s why I call bs when people say oh he won’t marry you because of X,Y and Z but it’s funny cause as soon as he’s done with his “girlfriend” of 10 years he’s marrying another woman with in a year after they already had sex and lived with each other, I find that so strange but I still wouldn’t give a man wife benefits just Incase
You can't make someone want to marry you either. I learned that the hard way. After two years of dating a guy and he still did not want to marry me. I cut him off and stopped seeing him.
It’s a matter of disrespect, especially when they know you want marriage and you’re giving him so much of yourself….your time, your life, your sacrifice, your body. He is disrespecting you and you are allowing the disrespect when he shows you year after year that he does not believe you are the one. 💯
@@Notyou382 acknowledging that you deserve more is the 1st step! Date yourself for a while and work on your 3 B’s. You’ll discover a lot about yourself and raise your vibration. Then you’ll be ready for your husband 💕
Tony spitting facts as usual. One thing I will say is DO NOT under any circumstances move in with a man who is not your husband. The amount of stories I have heard, and seen with my own eyes of friends, and friends of friends, where the woman has been living with the boyfriend for years, performing wife duties for him; cleaning, cooking, doing ALL the house work for a grown boy - and still no marriage, or they have broken up. Most of these women also have kids with these men children. And when the topic of marriage is brought up, she's met with 'why should we get married it's like we're already married anyway' and ladies, he's right. Why should he bother marrying you when you already made yourself a wife to him by doing all these wifely duties? Never underestimate a man's ability to take you for granted and get too comfortable, and moving in with him will do exactly that. If you want marriage, make it clear that if he wants to live together and have children, he must give you marriage first. Don't make the mistake of moving in with him/having kids without that, because NONE of the MANY women I know of that have been living with their bf / have had kids with him for years and years, have gotten married. And it likely will never happen for them. Be smart. Never act like a wife for a man who isn't your husband.
Listen to Tony gaskins& old Kevin samuel videos. You will learn about you/relations. In addition, dr. Joe dispenza for spiritual lity of self.....you WILL LEARN OF SELF ❤
Spot on video!!! Either he does not want to get married, or he doesn’t want to marry you. Either way it isn’t good for you. Had to learn that the hard way… don’t waste your time ladies. Life is way tooo short
After watching your videos, my cousin and friend getting proposed and now engaged under 36 months (dating +not on their back 18-24 months + proposal x planning 12 months weddings are this month), there’s absolutely no reason why four-five years with no solid commitment should happen. Listen to Tony, I know women (examples) who are literally living out his advice and do not know him. It is spot on!
It’s a few content creators on Instagram building a whole brand and been in relationships for 3,4,5 years. I look and say now what if they don’t get married , I know the woman heart will be broken. So sad . I hate to see ppl waste their time
That piece of paper mean something. Look at what just happened to DMX live in girlfriend. She tried to sue to get his net worth and didn't get a dime. She lived with him for almost 10 years and got nothing in return😓
Exactly! Women are always investing deeply and rarely get a return on their investment🤔 this is where women lose when we don't uphold our standard for marriage and just be a live-in girlfriend.( she did everything a wife does and got none of the benefits a wife should have gotten at his death)
I know this all to well. I was with a guy over 10 years when I should have left years ago. Met someone else I’m now engaged we are marrying in October it will be exactly 2years From Dating, engaged to marrying this October. It don’t take all day to see sunshine men Know early on if your his wife. Glad I decided to wake up and smell the Folgers 😂🥰❤️
ABSOLUTELY TRUE.... TREATING ME, LIKE TRASH.. EMOTIONALLY ABUSING ME... I DESERVE BETTER... THEIRS JUST, SOMETHINGS.. INBEDDED IN PEOPLE'S PERSONALITIES.. THAT YOU CAN'T OR WON'T CHANGE... ON TOP.. I FOUND OUT HE HAS GOT A DRINKING PROBLEM FOR.... YEARS... I THINK I DODGE A BULLET.... ITS SCARY... WHEN THE MASK DROPS... 🎭
I know a couple who lived together for 5 years until she moved out suddenly in order to get a proposal. He proposed six months later and they are now married 9 years with two babies.
She woke up and realized she was playing house and giving herself to this man who become complacent and comfy to not stepped up to do the upright thing So she drew that line in that sand and checked this man to either or neither
That's the exception not the rule...don't allow this one fairytale ending help you stay in a dead end relationship without consultation with God because that may have been her husband who was not obeying his spirit or his heart or a man that had another woman and he had to finally make a choice. We also don't know everything that happens here because obviously she will endure years of unhappiness without leaving as shown in her staying 5 years without a ring. Just don't get confused by someone else's situation.
@@itslivenow3079 you're not being mean sweetie most juvenile people that don't know me or have the mental capacity to think of anything else when someone challenges them always goes for looks so it's OK its predictable at best but I don't consider it mean. But to respond to your very narrow minded comment, a lot of women and men that look like me are in happy and productive marriages and didn't have to wait in a dead end relationship for years on end hoping and handing out ultimatums to essentially force the person to marry them or settle for them. I'm not in a relationship of that nature so I really can't relate to what you're speaking of because I don't have to live with someone with the hopes that he will marry me...maybe that is you and your mate's reality 😊
Ladies, if you have to ask the question you already know the answer. Sometimes we just need to hear it from someone else. We have to learn how to love and value ourselves first, so that we don’t let people waste our time. This why I started my UA-cam channel to help women. Thank you Tony for another great video 💕.
This is so true but unfortunately some women will be offended,but it’s the truth!!please don’t waste years on a man who doesn’t intend on marrying you!!Wasted time is worse than wasted money can’t get time back!!!Be blessed❤️
This is fucking raw he is on something right here. Men know when they meet the wife. Some women just don’t have the skill in the bedroom, the fun personality, the body type, etc. some men won’t marry a woman who has slept with too many people. Young ladies pay attention. If a rich guy comes your way he may choose a lower body count over you. I’ve seen men do that to women. They will marry “her” in a year and forget you! Also this girl with a boyfriend of 5 years watch out he is flirting with other women because he doesn’t love you like you think.
Off subject but i have to testify. Last week, I was going out for a hair cut. Didn't care much about what i was wearing. Well, as I got closer to the door to leave, I KID YOU NOT❗ I heard in my spirit, with Tony's voice: you ladies going out looking like who shot John and forgot to kill him😳🤣🤣 !! I was like Whaaaaaaaat❓ I knew right away that was the Holy Spirit using Tony. I immediately decided to wear something nicer and felt like my spirit was lifted. 🥰 Ladies keep listening, you never know when things brother Tony says will apply to your situation. Brother Tony, May the Lord keep pouring onto you and the Queen🙏🏾
Thank God for this... even women appreciate the beauty of another lady because it's pleasing to the eyes.. all women should see themselves as walking flowers 💐
I never understood the whole money issues. I'm assuming people don't realize one can simply go to the court house. If one can't afford a wedding. It's simple, COURT HOUSE.
I had a guy use that excuse and wanted to focus on his family and “health”( this is the same man that sleeps with girls unprotected and smokes weed all day but okay )on me but because I wanted a relationship so that was his excuse which was bs but after I started to open my eyes I’m like..why would I want a relationship like this? So I cut him off and later I found out he cheated and beat on his ex I said I’m happy I dogged a bullet.
I do. Whether people want to admit it or not money is a big deal in marriage. I don't want to be with someone who doesn't have their money together because they will only drag me down.
If he does not believe you're the one why is he wasting his time and the significant other's time, it's really an unfair to the other person who wants to get married when they could be looking in another direction just like them, so they're looking in another direction while you're looking at them.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE..... ON POINT!! MY SISTERS WORDS... IF THEY GO OUT WITH YOU FOR YEARS... THE MARRAIGE IS GOING TO END MUCH SOONER THEN THE AMOUNT OF YEARS YOU'VE BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM... TRUTH TO BE TOLD.. COLD HARD FACTS.. ❄️💯💯💯
true parents dated for one year and were married for 40 before my mom died...mom her dad never took care of her and my dads parents divorced when he was young so they both didnt want broken home and wanted stability
I'm watching a show online called "put a ring on it" and it made me think of you because these girls are in long term relationships and I can imagine you as a host on the show looking straight at the woman like "gon bout your business!" lol all I can say is Thank you for Tony Gaskins!!!!
@@pamelahartfield7575 It is a curse to marry someone based on scripture. You had better know who you are marrying, church or no church; Bible or no Bible. God has nothing to do with a person's character. I married a man who had a woman committed to him for over 30 years. Everyone knew it, but me. Marriage is up and down - in and out. The happiness comes from two people who want marriage and work on being married. Some women marry because they do not want to fornicate and that is a poor reason to marry. Go to a marriage counselor and do not follow your organs; check his/her credit background, health, past work record, house, car, clothing, shoes and how they upkeep their dwelling. Does he/she drink from the carton and if they do, does it bother you, do they wash their butt, feet, and hands, brush their teeth, and do they gamble, drink and stay out all night. Are they dating other women? Do they belch, fart and are they ethical? A woman should walk into a marriage like Eve did. Everything was already there, in the Garden of Eden, when God joined them together. Church brothers can be very smooth manipulators. Do not be fooled by their representatives. I know numbers of women in the church who have never married or remarried, ain't no sin in being a wise woman. Do your marital homework.
Before you even start taking a man seriously, you should have the marriage talk. If he's serious about marriage, he'll be open to the conversation.Then you can explore a relationship. If he's acting confused/ aloof & not asking for your hand within the 1.5 to 2 yr mark...It's time to go. Men who want a wife don't waste any time...and they don't want you to get snatched up by someone else either. Atleast that's what I tell myself..lol
This is soo true ladies , my ex def gave me the finances and the we need to fix these current issues before we take the next step . It’s absolutely BS ladies ! But guess what don’t worry about it . Cut it off and you will get what you deserve !
Men and women have become way too comfortable playing house and forgetting what God desires for us. Not to mention, His desires for us if discerned and done correctly is better than our own desires. Most men are creating their own definition of marriage and many women are taking the bait. A man will give you a baby before he gives you a ring and commitment. I’ve said this before and I must say it again, in order for a woman to know her worth, she has to know God First. Long term dating is distractive, and destructive. Some people are simply just not meant to be. Time is precious and it’s best to use it wisely. Learn from your mistakes, put God where God belongs (FIRST) and look forward to better things, people, places, and days ahead. 🙏🏽
Men get married when they want to get married. So it’s best to find a man that wants and value marriage and the wait won’t be long at all. He will also let his intentions for you and marriage known very early in the relationship.
I feel you, Tony. And I agree. I once asked a man who, at that time, had been with a white woman for 12 years, why he hadn't married her. The gist of his reply was, "I'm good on that." I thought, "wow. That could never be me." It's cool if a dude doesn't wanna be married. But I'll tell you what, I won't be your permanent girlfriend either. Go find someone else to play house with forever ever after. Bye.
ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM AFTER DATING HIM FOR 3 WEEKS... LOL.. AFTER A MONTH OF DATING HE SAID.. IF YOU EVA SPEAK ABOUT MARRIAGE.. I WILL DISSAPPEAR.. I WAS STUMPED... HE WAS MARRIED FOR 20YRS..DIVORDED NOW FOR 9YRS NOW.... HE DUMPED ME WENT OR TOOK BACK HIS X GF, THAT HE DROPPED 8X..ALREADY...I'M GLAD, I'M OUT OF HIM.. I'M A QUEEN... LADIES... DNT LET ANY GUY TAKE YOU FOR NOTHING.. HE WANTS THE WIFEY... BENEFITS... SERIOUSLY.. NO... 💯💯💯💯💯
Recently I googled the term CO-HABITATION (living together). There is a plethora a research done on this topic from different perspectives. Most often the results supported I read were....... Co-habitation typically does NOT lead to marriage. If they do get married after co-habitating for 5 plus years then they typically divorce within 7 years. Since there is no solid commitment to each other, having children is not in the co-habitating plan. Most often the woman is encouraged to use birth control. And other reasons why living with your man might not be the "beneficial testing of the waters" that you thought it would be.
its not benefitical at all ..we got engaged moved in together i got prego and after i had the baby i moved out ..luckily i had the presence of mind to move out many wouldve got married anyway since we filed the papers..my life has actually improved since i left him mental,weight loss and finances ..looking back at my 27 year old self i cant believe I left but seeing how my exes life is now alost 8 years later alcohol addiction ,unstable living and not financially sound i really think he was trying to lock me down because of my resources because when i tell you i dodged a bullet i dodged it .
Yes it’s not meant to last because it’s cheating and going against the natural order of building connection with someone. They get all of the benefits of marriage without marriage? Yes, definitely a scam and 9/10 the man is most likely looking for “the one” while living with the gf.
Hey Tony and blessed tribe! Happy Independence Day! I got married at age 36 to a man I dated for 18 months. It was his first marriage too and he was also 36. We divorced 3 years later. He actually was the only man that did not hesitate to marry me. I truly believe he married me mainly because i was a MAJOR upgrade from his previous relationship. Lots of hard lessons learned, but I was intent on getting married!
@@ARS-fn6px honestly he had an alcohol addiction that got worse and unbearable the last year of marriage He refused to get help. (I would have supported his recovery)I had two teenagers that were not his and he had a teenager too. He blamed his drinking on them and was verbally abusive towards the kids! He drank when I met him, but that wasnt a dealbreaker for me because he didn’t start acting crazy until after marriage.
I hear you. So instead of the guy saying I don’t want to get married to you.. when they realize it.. we just have to put a time limit in our heads and make moves if it doesn’t happen (this is speaking to the relationships that are good, both people are good ppl and enjoy each other). Ultimately, no man is going to cut it off until we do..
When you’re grown you don’t play games. Either we’re getting married or not. I’m not about to play with no grown man. You know what you want ……. P.s Tony get them flowers for the Queen 😂 she definitely showed you to see lol
I’m currently listening to “make it work” on audible and it’s the best thing I’ve read in a while. It gives clarity on navigating through relationships.
The ACTION of making a DECISION to commit. We make a decision to make a commitment to a job, buying a car, buying a house in a split second. Make a DECISION about your relationship.
This hit hard 😞 I know what I need to do. I have been with my bf for 7 years and I want to get married and the second reason you talked is what I always hear. I think I just have to pull the plug here cus I think he is afraid to do it. I love and care for him but I can’t keep being with someone that gives me lame ass excuses and there is nothing wrong to start over either. I have been with him since I was 19 and I’m 28 now. Yeah we long distance for 4 years but now living here for the past two years I haven’t seen any change and I don’t like how I am changing either. I want to feel peace in my heart and start over.
Wow you’re still young baby girl. I’m 37 and I can tell you for sure please don’t EVER give another man more than 2 years of your life without any real commitment. You were with him young so I understand why you stayed but it’s time for new beginnings for you. Good luck 🍀
I have dated men who I slept with because I was so attracted to them, thinking they would marry me. They didn't. And once, I was just friends with a guy who asked me to marry him BECAUSE I didn't sleep with him! I told him I wasn't a virgin; didn't matter. He liked how I behaved with him. I didn't marry him, but it was a life lesson.
Happy fourth, y'all! This was exactly my case with ex of 3 years. He said he loved me but wasn't in love with me. Then he said he wanted an open relationship, I was like nope thanks. Selfish of a man.
Hi Tony Your content is 🔥🔥🔥🔥😁 I’m soo glad Jesus Christ lead me to you because I’m fresh out of 2- long relationship and don’t know the 1st thing about dating.GOD Bless You and protect you from the evil one and his demons. Oh, I’m 55, I need some advice on this, Thank You 😊 🙏🏽
Still no commitment after 5years. Gotta move on. But however that’s the maximum timeline for women. Some men won’t even budge even it hits the 10years mark unless there’s ultimatum. That’s how pathetic some people can be and willing to go through just to wait and wishing for the men to marry em. If its long overdue, just have the closure, cut the ties and move on. Woman we gotta stop being foolish and be so patient for this case.
I remember watching this video years ago and hearing you say he don’t want you was a gut punch. Now I look back happy I didn’t look back. I’m glad I kept it moving. I’ll never get so low for a man again. Ladies never let a man have so much power over you. We def have to stop putting men on these God like pedestals.
We live in a world where a man will waste years of your time if you let him, so you need to have a timeline and standards to hold on to, not put everything on a platter so that he thinks there's nothing else to work for or earn and you are just happy playing house. Date and be in a relationship with a purpose, save benefits aside that you will only give to a husband and that includes what you do in the bedroom plus cooking and cleaning all day. It might be hard to have invested time and feelings into a relationship for years, but it's even harder to let this keep you unhappy as a forever girlfriend when you know you deserve so much more, so turn that car around and don't keep driving on the same road if you see it's getting you nowhere.
@@elizabethjordan5755 Thank you very much, i agree. He doesn't necessarily have to refuse because it's good for women to have self-love and not ask a man for this or give ultimatums. The simple choice to not take action is "refusal" enough. If he lets time fly by and doesn't think he needs to do anything more to show the place you occupy in his life or secure your relationship, those are signs to start distancing yourself and not wait around. If he really wants you, he will come get you. So always be intentional with dating and your relationship if you want it to get serious, otherwise most men will enjoy a lifetime of laughing, having fun and playing house because they already get all the benefits, so they don't feel the need to do an extra step.
@@CarmenLifeCoach And that's the sad part. Men think they have all the time in the world to goof around with people's lives. After a certain age, it looks quite silly seeing a grown man "play house" when he should be further down the road in life. Other societies value, celebrate and highly support the marriage institution, while many A American men treat it like a joke. If Blk men want to be taken seriously here and internationally, they need to stop using females as sexual target practice and utilize marriage as a vital component for a strong thriving culture.
@@elizabethjordan5755 I hear you, i think it has more to do with the individual's education and mindset, because in every country and race there are bad men but there are also good men and while we cannot change this proportion, we can choose to only be next to a good one and form a healthy family with him. The rest of them who don't believe in marriage can only be changed by women who refuse to give away all the benefits and play house forever.
And once he knows you’re the one. Now let’s dig deeper and see what that means to him. I know a guy who married his wife because he though she was the one. Yeah, the one who would pay all his bills and the one who he knew would never leave no matter how many times he cheated.
You got that right. I turned down 3 proposals before I met my husband. God showed me they were not for me. They KNEW I was wife type and I was dating to marry so they had to come correct. However after prayer and fasting God revealed their true intentions. For vArious reasons those relationships had to end. So I had to decline and move on. It was TOUGH to do it but I knew the day I met my husband why it would have never worked with any of my ex fiancés. The difference was night and day.
Tony I wish there was a mentor or mature adult like you in my life back when I was in my twenties. You are speaking nothing but the truth and I really hope all the young ladies out there are taking notes! He is not lying y'all trust and believe!!!
😂😂😂😂 "well uh unfortunately I just want to let you know he's not sure about you" 💀 c'mon y’all you want to know the truth or want to be lied to & waste years of your life
My prayers go out to you (honestly). The betrayal behind cheating is a death blow. The only thing worse is when the person you love has a baby w/ another.
Spin, 1 thing for certain 2 thing for sure, man either serious or he playing. Us women create too many details when it’s quite simple. Look @ it from the outside looking in maybe his only purpose is to help elevate you to the next level. Most mindset are moving according to social constructs.
This is excellent advice for those women who really desire to be married. It is not that hard to marry. You do not need a ring, a preacher, an expensive marriage or invitations. I married too young. If you are living with a man and not married to him, leave. Do not waste your youth and your time. Please do not lay up, have babies and call him a fiance. I have seen cases where the man will live on you and those babies, then walk away and marry another woman. That is a lie you are telling yourself, that he is going to marry you. I have been married four times and should not have married one of them. I am happy being single. I can come and go as I please. My credit is better. I can save money and I am healthier and happier. Marriage is not for punks. You can live with a person twenty years or more, but the day you marry changes everything. Everybody is not Ozzie and Harriet.
I wish I would have walked away sooner. I wasted so much time with someone who can't even stand to be in the same room with me or hear me greet him from a long day but I'm the problem. I'm glad I finally did walk away.
Most men know what they want! If he is not mature for a marriage but just want sex and just hanging out let him go!! My husband and I dated for 1 year and got married going on 18 years!!! It’s has not been easy but God kept us together and it has worked out!!!
Tony said, in a video a long time ago- the million dollars analogy. A man has a million dollars on his doorstep, tax free, no strings attached- all his. Is a nan going to say “ no I didn’t earn that million dollars yet or accept the money?” A man is not going to pass up the woman of his dreams because he hasn’t earned her yet. He is going to snatch her up quickly and marry her. I agree with Tony. Period
Its amazing how God made you to help us understand marriage coming from a good marriage, because people like me think if its the right one its gone be perfect, but Im hearing that it wont be perfect, just two people who choose to both try..that choose each other☺️💯
Bless yo heart Tony... apparently they didn’t see your video “He don’t want you”... point blank period... HE DON’T WANT YOU!!! I’m so sorry you have to continue to REPEAT yourself! DAMN 🤦🏾♀️
The gag is it really isn't that hard to hear, If you say this to me in the beginning. I haven't invested much. Hit me with the 3,5,6 years....yeah, " I'm sorry what did you say?" Sir.... You've wasted our time! You could've been in pursuit for Mrs. Right and I could have been on my way. Instead you've contributed to heartbreak of which there was no need. Now i have to evaluate myself, figure out where i went wrong, DON'T GO CRAZY, believe that all ninjas aren't the same, heal, etc. Just keep it a buck from the jump! I'll respect that person more! I more of a Jack Nicholson type...🔊I CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH!!😂
@ Marie Small - No! No! No! Respect yourself 1st. When the airplane takes off, what are you instructed to do? Put your oxygen mask on FIRST. You are responsible for yourself FIRST.
My question is: If a man doesn’t intend to marry a woman he has been with for 3 or more years, why doesn’t he just leave and break up with her? If he ends the relationship, he stops her from wasting her life and enables her to find a better man.
This is absolutely true I was in one 13 yrs I was young but then repeated and my last one 7 yrs I do wish I had walked away both times because like you said building with someone, helping them with goals and kids and then not be together in unity…
You're ✅Tony. My little sister dated her ex husband 7 years before getting married and got divorced less than 2 years later. My mum hadn't finished to refund the loan to pay for the wedding ceremony. Actually both of them are toxic, and none of them would ever admit it. Too sad!

When you know that, we got to gone about our business.
Another reason marriages end after 3+ years of dating, is because the woman goes into the marriage angry and resentful for having had to wait so long.
This is an interesting/unexplored point. I can definitely see that though.
I can see that and I'll add from my personal experience, my ex had put me through a lot of stuff before marriage and before we divorced I was to the point where I just wanted out for good which included resentment, hurt, anger, communication issues due to the past plus the issues that were current at that time. We were together 2years before marriage but broke up for about 4months and then we reunited. However, looking back the smartest move would have been to let bygones be bygones even though we have a son together.
i think this is the case with my sisters friend 18+ years she wasted her whole 20"s now shes 40 ant they engaged and have a date set and church to get married this year.. tbh i think she is doing it so it doesnt look like she waisted her time,,she/he doesnt have any kids so she stuck to her guns with that because they werent married but they dont even look in love or like which is the sad part i do think its the resentment piece in the equation..she wasted her youth with this guy and now hes balding she looks older than her age ..I dont see this lasting 18 years together dating but the outcome might be less than 5 years sadly because everyone sees the red flags but she needs to prove see after all these years we are getting married smh

Ladies don’t confuse chemistry with compatibility. I’ve had amazing conversations and sexual attraction to dusties/lovebombers who I should NEVER walk down the aisle with! Men know exactly what they want and who they want it with. 💕
Yes ma'am☝☝☝
Well said!
Facts!!
Honestly most men today are not looking for wifes honestly. I feel like it's mostly because of the influence today, and that women give boyfriends husband benefits.
Yesssss! Agreed!
Sexual discipline is also a reason. 95% of the women are giving out WAP and FOMO is real.
Exactly! As one of the TV judges used to say: don't give wife duties at girlfriend prices... in my own life I've seen friends invest so much into a man and get mad when he leaves. when I make investments I'm looking for a return on my investment, but a GF BF relationship ain't one of them by being a wife without being married. Many of us have made mistakes in the relationship area but I have let my mistakes be a wake-up call for me. Time going by too fast to let someone take that much life from you and not invest into you.
Women aren’t to blame. There is only one group of men not marrying in large numbers. No matter how much women in other groups run wild, they still get married.
Those women are always temporary.
Tony it's the stone cold truth. He does not think you're the one. He is holding out for somebody he believes might be better. Point blank PeriYOD.
What if he never finds that though? Then what? He ran through plenty of good women just to end up 70 and with no one 🤣. It’s just crazy to me!! But I wish them well. The stats aren’t in women’s favor when it comes to marriage.
Wouldn’t that be cheating though ?

I've heard those stories so many times. Couples that have been together for years then get married and divorce a year later. Then there are couples that marry after 6 months and are together for 25 years.
Yep, Blove got married within 9 months and from this day her and her hubby been married over 20 yrs now.
i know someone thats been together 18 years and they 39 and now they are engaged to be married..the man has been cheating and a raging alcoholic for years...Its a bad decision but i think she wants to get married because she wasted all those years tbh thats why people dont last after being together that long
Might be hard to hear ladies , but he is 100% on point!
Your absolutely right!! Kelly Ellis.. stay blessed.
He won’t marry you because he doesn’t want you. Women we must accept the truth. When a job doesn’t hire you... usually they will say, you’re not a good fit or we have decided to go with another applicant. In that job situation, you have to accept that job wasn’t for you. If a man doesn’t propose, he isn’t the one. Keep it moving quickly ladies to position yourself for the man that is for you.
So true!
"Keep it moving quickly?"
How?when people love hard they get wounded badly its very difficult to move on even if they wanted to. Shouldnt they heal first or should their new partner help them with that?
@Abc Def yup that means he’s being unfaithful the whole time if he’s acting single
@Abc Def facts!!! Like I said it’s the character of a man is what I believe because I knew a few couples who had sex before marriage, live in the house before marriage, had kids and still gotten married and are married over 25 years ( happily married I add) and you can just see the light in their eyes when they’re around each other, that’s why I call bs when people say oh he won’t marry you because of X,Y and Z but it’s funny cause as soon as he’s done with his “girlfriend” of 10 years he’s marrying another woman with in a year after they already had sex and lived with each other, I find that so strange but I still wouldn’t give a man wife benefits just Incase
It’s not always that simple. Some men just don’t believe in the conceit of marriage or just finds it unnecessary.
You can't make someone want to marry you either. I learned that the hard way. After two years of dating a guy and he still did not want to marry me. I cut him off and stopped seeing him.
Yes amen stop letting them waste your time
Good for you!! You did the right thing!

It’s a matter of disrespect, especially when they know you want marriage and you’re giving him so much of yourself….your time, your life, your sacrifice, your body. He is disrespecting you and you are allowing the disrespect when he shows you year after year that he does not believe you are the one. 💯

Tony spitting facts as usual. One thing I will say is DO NOT under any circumstances move in with a man who is not your husband. The amount of stories I have heard, and seen with my own eyes of friends, and friends of friends, where the woman has been living with the boyfriend for years, performing wife duties for him; cleaning, cooking, doing ALL the house work for a grown boy - and still no marriage, or they have broken up. Most of these women also have kids with these men children. And when the topic of marriage is brought up, she's met with 'why should we get married it's like we're already married anyway' and ladies, he's right. Why should he bother marrying you when you already made yourself a wife to him by doing all these wifely duties?
Never underestimate a man's ability to take you for granted and get too comfortable, and moving in with him will do exactly that. If you want marriage, make it clear that if he wants to live together and have children, he must give you marriage first. Don't make the mistake of moving in with him/having kids without that, because NONE of the MANY women I know of that have been living with their bf / have had kids with him for years and years, have gotten married. And it likely will never happen for them. Be smart. Never act like a wife for a man who isn't your husband.
There's someone then there's THE ONE. There's the placeholder, then there's the GAME CHANGER. Men immediately know the difference.

After watching your videos, my cousin and friend getting proposed and now engaged under 36 months (dating +not on their back 18-24 months + proposal x planning 12 months weddings are this month), there’s absolutely no reason why four-five years with no solid commitment should happen. Listen to Tony, I know women (examples) who are literally living out his advice and do not know him. It is spot on!
It’s a few content creators on Instagram building a whole brand and been in relationships for 3,4,5 years. I look and say now what if they don’t get married , I know the woman heart will be broken. So sad . I hate to see ppl waste their time
i takes a year or so and a half folks together for a 100 years and not married hes not interested 100.
That piece of paper mean something. Look at what just happened to DMX live in girlfriend. She tried to sue to get his net worth and didn't get a dime. She lived with him for almost 10 years and got nothing in return😓

I know a couple who lived together for 5 years until she moved out suddenly in order to get a proposal. He proposed six months later and they are now married 9 years with two babies.
She woke up and realized she was playing house and giving herself to this man who become complacent and comfy to not stepped up to do the upright thing
So she drew that line in that sand and checked this man to either or neither
That's the exception not the rule...don't allow this one fairytale ending help you stay in a dead end relationship without consultation with God because that may have been her husband who was not obeying his spirit or his heart or a man that had another woman and he had to finally make a choice. We also don't know everything that happens here because obviously she will endure years of unhappiness without leaving as shown in her staying 5 years without a ring. Just don't get confused by someone else's situation.

Ladies, if you have to ask the question you already know the answer. Sometimes we just need to hear it from someone else. We have to learn how to love and value ourselves first, so that we don’t let people waste our time. This why I started my UA-cam channel to help women. Thank you Tony for another great video 💕.
This is so true but unfortunately some women will be offended,but it’s the truth!!please don’t waste years on a man who doesn’t intend on marrying you!!Wasted time is worse than wasted money can’t get time back!!!Be blessed❤️
This is fucking raw he is on something right here. Men know when they meet the wife. Some women just don’t have the skill in the bedroom, the fun personality, the body type, etc. some men won’t marry a woman who has slept with too many people. Young ladies pay attention. If a rich guy comes your way he may choose a lower body count over you. I’ve seen men do that to women. They will marry “her” in a year and forget you! Also this girl with a boyfriend of 5 years watch out he is flirting with other women because he doesn’t love you like you think.
Off subject but i have to testify. Last week, I was going out for a hair cut. Didn't care much about what i was wearing.
Well, as I got closer to the door to leave, I KID YOU NOT❗ I heard in my spirit, with Tony's voice: you ladies going out looking like who shot John and forgot to kill him😳🤣🤣 !! I was like Whaaaaaaaat❓ I knew right away that was the Holy Spirit using Tony.

I do. Whether people want to admit it or not money is a big deal in marriage. I don't want to be with someone who doesn't have their money together because they will only drag me down.
If he does not believe you're the one why is he wasting his time and the significant other's time, it's really an unfair to the other person who wants to get married when they could be looking in another direction just like them, so they're looking in another direction while you're looking at them.

@@pamelahartfield7575 It is a curse to marry someone based on scripture. You had better know who you are marrying, church or no church; Bible or no Bible. God has nothing to do with a person's character. I married a man who had a woman committed to him for over 30 years. Everyone knew it, but me. Marriage is up and down - in and out. The happiness comes from two people who want marriage and work on being married. Some women marry because they do not want to fornicate and that is a poor reason to marry. Go to a marriage counselor and do not follow your organs; check his/her credit background, health, past work record, house, car, clothing, shoes and how they upkeep their dwelling. Does he/she drink from the carton and if they do, does it bother you, do they wash their butt, feet, and hands, brush their teeth, and do they gamble, drink and stay out all night. Are they dating other women? Do they belch, fart and are they ethical? A woman should walk into a marriage like Eve did. Everything was already there, in the Garden of Eden, when God joined them together. Church brothers can be very smooth manipulators. Do not be fooled by their representatives. I know numbers of women in the church who have never married or remarried, ain't no sin in being a wise woman. Do your marital homework.
Before you even start taking a man seriously, you should have the marriage talk. If he's serious about marriage, he'll be open to the conversation.Then you can explore a relationship. If he's acting confused/ aloof & not asking for your hand within the 1.5 to 2 yr mark...It's time to go. Men who want a wife don't waste any time...and they don't want you to get snatched up by someone else either. Atleast that's what I tell myself..lol
This is soo true ladies , my ex def gave me the finances and the we need to fix these current issues before we take the next step . It’s absolutely BS ladies ! But guess what don’t worry about it . Cut it off and you will get what you deserve !
"he got stocks in her company and he can come and cash out anytime"....let that sink in for us! Thank you Tony!
Men and women have become way too comfortable playing house and forgetting what God desires for us.
Not to mention, His desires for us if discerned and done correctly is better than our own desires.
Most men are creating their own definition of marriage and many women are taking the bait. A man will give you a baby before he gives you a ring and commitment. I’ve said this before and I must say it again, in order for a woman to know her worth, she has to know God First. Long term dating is distractive, and destructive.
Some people are simply just not meant to be. Time is precious and it’s best to use it wisely. Learn from your mistakes, put God where God belongs (FIRST) and look forward to better things, people, places, and days ahead. 🙏🏽
Men get married when they want to get married. So it’s best to find a man that wants and value marriage and the wait won’t be long at all. He will also let his intentions for you and marriage known very early in the relationship.
I feel you, Tony. And I agree. I once asked a man who, at that time, had been with a white woman for 12 years, why he hadn't married her. The gist of his reply was, "I'm good on that." I thought, "wow. That could never be me."
It's cool if a dude doesn't wanna be married. But I'll tell you what, I won't be your permanent girlfriend either. Go find someone else to play house with forever ever after. Bye.
SIS, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED EITHER TO YOU OR ANY WOMAN AT ALL!
Right...some choose to play the game for life

Recently I googled the term CO-HABITATION (living together). There is a plethora a research done on this topic from different perspectives. Most often the results supported I read were.......
Co-habitation typically does NOT lead to marriage.
If they do get married after co-habitating for 5 plus years then they typically divorce within 7 years.
Since there is no solid commitment to each other, having children is not in the co-habitating plan. Most often the woman is encouraged to use birth control. And other reasons why living with your man might not be the "beneficial testing of the waters" that you thought it would be.
its not benefitical at all ..we got engaged moved in together i got prego and after i had the baby i moved out ..luckily i had the presence of mind to move out many wouldve got married anyway since we filed the papers..my life has actually improved since i left him mental,weight loss and finances ..looking back at my 27 year old self i cant believe I left but seeing how my exes life is now alost 8 years later alcohol addiction ,unstable living and not financially sound i really think he was trying to lock me down because of my resources because when i tell you i dodged a bullet i dodged it .
Yes it’s not meant to last because it’s cheating and going against the natural order of building connection with someone. They get all of the benefits of marriage without marriage? Yes, definitely a scam and 9/10 the man is most likely looking for “the one” while living with the gf.
Hey Tony and blessed tribe! Happy Independence Day!
I got married at age 36 to a man I dated for 18 months. It was his first marriage too and he was also 36. We divorced 3 years later. He actually was the only man that did not hesitate to marry me. I truly believe he married me mainly because i was a MAJOR upgrade from his previous relationship. Lots of hard lessons learned, but I was intent on getting married!
Lesson learned
Why did you divorce if you dont mind sharing?
@@ARS-fn6px honestly he had an alcohol addiction that got worse and unbearable the last year of marriage He refused to get help. (I would have supported his recovery)I had two teenagers that were not his and he had a teenager too. He blamed his drinking on them and was verbally abusive towards the kids!
He drank when I met him, but that wasnt a dealbreaker for me because he didn’t start acting crazy until after marriage.

I hear you. So instead of the guy saying I don’t want to get married to you.. when they realize it.. we just have to put a time limit in our heads and make moves if it doesn’t happen (this is speaking to the relationships that are good, both people are good ppl and enjoy each other). Ultimately, no man is going to cut it off until we do..
When you’re grown you don’t play games. Either we’re getting married or not. I’m not about to play with no grown man. You know what you want ……. P.s Tony get them flowers for the Queen 😂 she definitely showed you to see lol

@Pamela Hartfield ...Make it Work is one of Tony Gaskins books.
Deep down he/she know they don't want to marry you. True. A lot of men don't want to get married cause all the games have to stop. Yep.
The ACTION of making a DECISION to commit. We make a decision to make a commitment to a job, buying a car, buying a house in a split second. Make a DECISION about your relationship.
This hit hard 😞 I know what I need to do. I have been with my bf for 7 years and I want to get married and the second reason you talked is what I always hear. I think I just have to pull the plug here cus I think he is afraid to do it. I love and care for him but I can’t keep being with someone that gives me lame ass excuses and there is nothing wrong to start over either. I have been with him since I was 19 and I’m 28 now. Yeah we long distance for 4 years but now living here for the past two years I haven’t seen any change and I don’t like how I am changing either. I want to feel peace in my heart and start over.

I have dated men who I slept with because I was so attracted to them, thinking they would marry me. They didn't. And once, I was just friends with a guy who asked me to marry him BECAUSE I didn't sleep with him! I told him I wasn't a virgin; didn't matter. He liked how I behaved with him. I didn't marry him, but it was a life lesson.

Still no commitment after 5years. Gotta move on. But however that’s the maximum timeline for women. Some men won’t even budge even it hits the 10years mark unless there’s ultimatum. That’s how pathetic some people can be and willing to go through just to wait and wishing for the men to marry em. If its long overdue, just have the closure, cut the ties and move on. Woman we gotta stop being foolish and be so patient for this case.
This was so good. We need this truth instead of hopefully hanging on

I’ll never get so low for a man again. Ladies never let a man have so much power over you. We def have to stop putting men on these God like pedestals.
Year 5 or 6!! Wow. God bless those womens hearts.
That is me. I am that woman. Just left
We live in a world where a man will waste years of your time if you let him, so you need to have a timeline and standards to hold on to, not put everything on a platter so that he thinks there's nothing else to work for or earn and you are just happy playing house. Date and be in a relationship with a purpose, save benefits aside that you will only give to a husband and that includes what you do in the bedroom plus cooking and cleaning all day. It might be hard to have invested time and feelings into a relationship for years, but it's even harder to let this keep you unhappy as a forever girlfriend when you know you deserve so much more, so turn that car around and don't keep driving on the same road if you see it's getting you nowhere.
Amen! Why waste years with a man that refuses to make a moral, legal commitment to you? Bump that!😒😒😒
@@elizabethjordan5755 Thank you very much, i agree. He doesn't necessarily have to refuse because it's good for women to have self-love and not ask a man for this or give ultimatums. The simple choice to not take action is "refusal" enough. If he lets time fly by and doesn't think he needs to do anything more to show the place you occupy in his life or secure your relationship, those are signs to start distancing yourself and not wait around. If he really wants you, he will come get you. So always be intentional with dating and your relationship if you want it to get serious, otherwise most men will enjoy a lifetime of laughing, having fun and playing house because they already get all the benefits, so they don't feel the need to do an extra step.
@@CarmenLifeCoach And that's the sad part. Men think they have all the time in the world to goof around with people's lives. After a certain age, it looks quite silly seeing a grown man "play house" when he should be further down the road in life. Other societies value, celebrate and highly support the marriage institution, while many A American men treat it like a joke. If Blk men want to be taken seriously here and internationally, they need to stop using females as sexual target practice and utilize marriage as a vital component for a strong thriving culture.
@@elizabethjordan5755 I hear you, i think it has more to do with the individual's education and mindset, because in every country and race there are bad men but there are also good men and while we cannot change this proportion, we can choose to only be next to a good one and form a healthy family with him. The rest of them who don't believe in marriage can only be changed by women who refuse to give away all the benefits and play house forever.
And once he knows you’re the one. Now let’s dig deeper and see what that means to him. I know a guy who married his wife because he though she was the one. Yeah, the one who would pay all his bills and the one who he knew would never leave no matter how many times he cheated.
You got that right. I turned down 3 proposals before I met my husband. God showed me they were not for me. They KNEW I was wife type and I was dating to marry so they had to come correct. However after prayer and fasting God revealed their true intentions. For vArious reasons those relationships had to end.
So I had to decline and move on. It was TOUGH to do it but I knew the day I met my husband why it would have never worked with any of my ex fiancés. The difference was night and day.
Tony I wish there was a mentor or mature adult like you in my life back when I was in my twenties. You are speaking nothing but the truth and I really hope all the young ladies out there are taking notes! He is not lying y'all trust and believe!!!
Knucking until you Bucking!!! Ohhhh Tony, that’s the one right there! This whole word is it!!! ❤️💯❤️
😂😂😂😂 "well uh unfortunately I just want to let you know he's not sure about you" 💀 c'mon y’all you want to know the truth or want to be lied to & waste years of your life
This so true , I lost my husband because he was cheating with a younger girl. He knew I wanted to be married.
You didn't lose sis.
My prayers go out to you (honestly). The betrayal behind cheating is a death blow. The only thing worse is when the person you love has a baby w/ another.
The truth! The truth! Nothing but the truth!! Keep telling it Tony 💪🏾
You got 1 1/2 year from now on. Just got out of my 3 year relationship and named every excuse Tony named. ✌🏾
I'm so happy young lady you end that relationship and you know your worth
Congratulations! God got you, keep living and moving forward. Stay blessed!❤
im in a near 4 years relationship. what kind of excuses did your ex used? i want to see if are the same excuses like my bf is using
Im sure that will work 🙂
@@_KingofKingss it has been working out, thanks 😊
"Dad stop showing out!" 🤣🤣 my fav part of the story
Thank you for the truth, & the Lord said "ye shall know the truth & the truth shall make you free".💯💯
Spin,
1 thing for certain 2 thing for sure, man either serious or he playing. Us women create too many details when it’s quite simple. Look @ it from the outside looking in maybe his only purpose is to help elevate you to the next level. Most mindset are moving according to social constructs.
This is excellent advice for those women who really desire to be married. It is not that hard to marry. You do not need a ring, a preacher, an expensive marriage or invitations. I married too young. If you are living with a man and not married to him, leave. Do not waste your youth and your time. Please do not lay up, have babies and call him a fiance. I have seen cases where the man will live on you and those babies, then walk away and marry another woman. That is a lie you are telling yourself, that he is going to marry you. I have been married four times and should not have married one of them. I am happy being single. I can come and go as I please. My credit is better. I can save money and I am healthier and happier. Marriage is not for punks. You can live with a person twenty years or more, but the day you marry changes everything. Everybody is not Ozzie and Harriet.
I wish I would have walked away sooner. I wasted so much time with someone who can't even stand to be in the same room with me or hear me greet him from a long day but I'm the problem. I'm glad I finally did walk away.
Yep! Hes there for the benefit but really waiting on the woman he really wants and you are a place holder.
I understand this fully...I was here for 11 yrs. I decide to leave him along. Took up enough of my good years See Ya...gt to go!!!
The excuses. I hate it! You girls better get smart and not let these men waste your time.
"I ain't showing out- that's just me.' I LOVE IT!!😎
Most men know what they want! If he is not mature for a marriage but just want sex and just hanging out let him go!! My husband and I dated for 1 year and got married going on 18 years!!! It’s has not been easy but God kept us together and it has worked out!!!
That's real Tony,sometimes as women we have to face reality and move on.
Tony said, in a video a long time ago- the million dollars analogy. A man has a million dollars on his doorstep, tax free, no strings attached- all his. Is a nan going to say “ no I didn’t earn that million dollars yet or accept the money?” A man is not going to pass up the woman of his dreams because he hasn’t earned her yet. He is going to snatch her up quickly and marry her. I agree with Tony. Period
Its amazing how God made you to help us understand marriage coming from a good marriage, because people like me think if its the right one its gone be perfect, but Im hearing that it wont be perfect, just two people who choose to both try..that choose each other☺️💯
Tony goes all the way in but from a good place. I appreciate you. 🙏🏾
Bless yo heart Tony... apparently they didn’t see your video “He don’t want you”... point blank period... HE DON’T WANT YOU!!!
I’m so sorry you have to continue to REPEAT yourself! DAMN 🤦🏾♀️
Happy 4th of July Bro Tony to you and your family God bless you abundantly 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸 stay safe.
Me & Travis Barker in two different tax brackets 🤣🤣🤣
Travis Barker really adores Kourtney and I love it. 🙌🏾
TONY YOU ARE TOTALLY TOTALLY 100% CORRECT
EVEN THOU AMAN ISNT FINANCIALLY STABLE ENOUGH,BUT IF YOUR HIS IDEAL WOMAN
HE WILL DO ALL HE CAN TO KEEP YOU
Listening! Thanks Tony! You have wonderful honest observational skills🙏🏼😁
The gag is it really isn't that hard to hear, If you say this to me in the beginning. I haven't invested much. Hit me with the 3,5,6 years....yeah, " I'm sorry what did you say?" Sir.... You've wasted
our time! You could've been in pursuit for Mrs. Right and I could have been on my way. Instead you've contributed to heartbreak of which there was no need. Now i have to evaluate myself, figure out where i went wrong, DON'T GO CRAZY, believe that all ninjas aren't the same, heal, etc. Just keep it a buck from the jump! I'll respect that person more! I more of a Jack Nicholson type...🔊I CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH!!😂
@ Marie Small - No! No! No! Respect yourself 1st. When the airplane takes off, what are you instructed to do? Put your oxygen mask on FIRST. You are responsible for yourself FIRST.
You are absolutely right Tony. As painful as it may be it is the truth 💯
Tony getting ready to help somebody with this video 🙏🏾💜👑
My question is:
If a man doesn’t intend to marry a woman he has been with for 3 or more years, why doesn’t he just leave and break up with her? If he ends the relationship, he stops her from wasting her life and enables her to find a better man.
She is providing ALL the things that he wants without marriage. (Why leave?) If you give it to a man he’ll take it. He has the best of both worlds.
Thank you! I appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us. God bless you!!!
This is absolutely true I was in one 13 yrs I was young but then repeated and my last one 7 yrs I do wish I had walked away both times because like you said building with someone, helping them with goals and kids and then not be together in unity…
"Folders Send Me A Check " 🤣
The best part of waking up is Folgers sending you a check
Please stay REAL don't change 💪🏾💋
Happy 4th of July to you, your family and the bless tribe.
You're ✅Tony. My little sister dated her ex husband 7 years before getting married and got divorced less than 2 years later. My mum hadn't finished to refund the loan to pay for the wedding ceremony. Actually both of them are toxic, and none of them would ever admit it. Too sad!
Mr. Gaskins, you gave me a hell of a laugh with this video!
Now, I got to accept that you are right on 🎯🎯🎯
Thank you for your advices. 😊
