Adrienne is THAT friend!!! Knows your struggles, knows when NOT to make a joke of something that she knows really hurt you in the past. I think Tam is the same kind of friend to Adrienne. I LOVED how Adrienne kept eye contact with Tam because she knew exactly where she was going with this story. I hope we ALL have a true friend like this in our lifetime!
Omg I noticed that too!! I love Adrienne for always advocating for and supporting her friends 💞 just like how she always stood up for Jeannie not wanting kids even when the cohosts themselves said she would be a great mom.
@James Demouchet They came AFTER her marriage . . Hence CELIBACY . No sex until marriage . You can be celibate even after you lose your virginity at any moment before marriage
ITS NOT WORTH IT! PLEASE KEEP YOUR VIRGINITY!! lol but fareal please try your VERY best to wait. its nothing really out here girl worth doing it if hes not trying to be your husband. Listen to me please wait i swear im always forgiving myself (trying) about not being a virgin and waiting until marriage.
Good for you! Same thing happened to me the only difference is that we weren't official yet. So yes Hun you definitely dodged a bullet! You probably would have had heartache and headache with him. You'll know when it's right when you meet the right person. Waiting is a good thing! :)
it's quite ugly that all everyone thinks she's upset about is the fact that she had sex -_- pretty naive... She's upset because she felt that she disappointed God... It's like a very religious woman having an abortion, that can eat you up inside because God blessed you w/ a child and you terminated an innocent. And since when is it ok to bash a woman for crying ?! can she live? is her crying really ruining your life? So damn cold-hearted..excuse her for being a real person and showing emotion sheesh!
I am with Tamera. I am a virgin and also made a pact to God. I'm afraid that I will not "follow through". I know God is a forgiving God but I feel like I wouldn't forgive myself and disappoint God. I always pray that he gives me strength, and cast away any thoughts because this is something that I will accomplish...
It can get hard but just keep honoring GOD and help you through it and remember if man can't respect your wish he's not worth you time or gift. I believe that by honoring GOD HE will bless your marriage.
So I will be 28 tomorrow and I'm still a virgin. To this day I don't regret it. I don't see myself better or worst than anyone else. It was just a personal choice and a reflection of my self respect and worth. I love Tamera for being so honest!
Tamera reminds me of David in the bible. He loved God so much, doing God's work etc but even still as a human he fell short of God's glory. But he repented and God willingly forgave him; blessing him greatly to the extent that Jesus is a direct descendant of David. Such an inspiration to us all that no matter what wrong we've done, as long you are truly sorry God is able to forgive and forget. Maryrose
+Kristie Bach As long as we're on this earth, living and breathing he will forgive us even if it's the same sin over and over. Life means a second chance no matter how many times we sin and even if it's the exact same son. Some people can let go of their sins much quicker than others.... All of us has such a unique r.s with God that he treats each of us differently. For us who know better he may discipline and for someone with little faith he may let them fall time and time again before disciplining. It boils down to the r.s.
+Rose Tiii Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are one and the same. Jesus came as God in the flesh to live a life without sin that we may be saved. It is not by logic that we understand this but by faith that we receive the gospel. I stress: It is not by logic.
Lol I'm 18 soon to be 19 and I'm still a virgin. It's not on purpose tho Lmfaoo. I've never had a boyfriend or kiss anyone. It's no big deal to me lol.
Same!!! I am 16 and have never had a boyfriend or been kissed but it really bothers me because people always say that I am a pretty but they won't come to me because they know they won't get the cookie
Sydney D exactly and for people shaming Adam saying he made her break her vow no he didn't there was 2 people in that relationship 2 people making decisions. Tam clearly loves Adam and Adam clearly loves Tam. You just hear more from Tam because she is on a talk show. Adam talks about Tam and the kids every single day on his social media. Id rather have someone showing they love each other than saying it to prove a point.
@@uhohstinky5850 I think she might’ve even had sex with him so at least she kept that one partner. And even if she didn’t, I’m still very much proud of her
I forgave myself for having an abortion, after living in guilt for many years, I realized i was telling JESUS, "your blood wasn't enough to wash my sins" and that is a lie from the pit of hell. Thank you Jesus.
Carina Cruz my sister, we are not made to carry guilt, he says as far as the east is from the west, so have i removed your sins from you. your child will run into your arms and call you mother one day when you go to heaven, dont give the enemy anymore of your power, forgive yourself because God forgave you even before you did the sin, i will pray for you.
Took me a while to realize Tamera was talking about forgiving herself because she did have sex before marriage. I was so confused for the majority of this clip lmao
She's 37 currently, and lost her virginity at 29. She's been married for 5 years, dated Adam 6 years before that. I think it's a fairly safe assumption to say it was with Adam.
+Christina M I think that's why their bond is so strong. The fact that she saved herself and Adam was her first and only is very special. God Bless them.
Being a virgin is not something to feel bad about , and ur keeping a promise to yourself to wait is definitely hard but as long as you believe you will find the right person to be able to do it with before marriage ! Now it is easier said than done ! But Tamera was always an angel , she stuck to her and waited to do it with the right man who happens to be her husband ! And to anybody out there in the world that is looking at this and can't forgive themselves , all I have to say is this : God's love is definitely redeeming , you don't have to do anything to earn it , he just loves you as you are !
Amen it is not by our works or else we could save ourselves. It's great to do good things out of faith and LOVE but none of those things get us into heaven. It is by only the Blood of Jesus and the mercy of him and that is the most important thing to be thankful for period.
If I can just reach one child of God and say: save your virginity until marriage. It is one of the most precious moments in life and it is a more spiritual act than we can possibly fathom. God forgives but how divine it is to trust and obey Him! Blessings
+dance4life1208 you must know that the sex is not always great at the beginning of any type of relationship, whether its marriage or not. It will develop if you get to know your partner, experience together and both of you learn what you like and so on. coming from a virgin 👆
+dance4life1208 excuse my english. the devil often deceives us by letting us think that we have to practice outside marriage for the sex to become 'good', which is a lie
Omg I just love Tamera and her relationship with God. She has such strong values and principles (as I do) and it's so refreshing and inspiring to see in someone else 💛
It hurts me to see how religion can sometimes mess up our conceptions of God or our bond with Him. And i speak as a person that lived that myself. I was raised in a very strict religious environment. And when i lost my virginity that messed me up a lot cause i thought my bond with God was gone. Until i realize that my relationship with God didnt depend on my virginity. Until i realize that a my relationship with God supposed to be way more than follow the church rules, but LIVE what Jesus taught us. Remain a virgin should be something you feel in your heart, something between you and God and not because at the church someone told you so. But if somehow you couldnt do it, it is okay too! God will love you the same way He did before. P.S: I love Tamera and admire her as christian woman.
She don't try to be like Tamar, the thing is that they being raised under yhe same roof and have the same education so sometimes they act alike but that does not mean she try to be like Tamar.
Sylziana CAIRO What I'm saying is Tamar has her own personality I see she's very different from the bunch Towanda seems corny and I don't know not original? I guess that's what I'm feeling no else has to agree or disagree cause it isn't an opinion its how I feel based on what I'm seeing
+CeCe Goddess (Une_Unique_Belle_Fille) being the youngest sibling usually means she picked up pieces of each of her siblings personality and it's just magnified can by a million. But let's not act like that's Tamars original personality either. She really just imitates black gay culture honestly.
tennisstar2011 Oh I always felt like she was always different but you're right too she grew up in such a big family that's why she has this big personality
I love Tamera but damn it I hate when she beats herself over losing her virginity before marriage. You were not less worthy because you had sex. Same goes if you are still a virgin. I don't understand why we as women place so much value on ourselves based on our vaginas.
She never said she was less worthy. That was her personal promise to God who she clearly loves. When you decide on something like that at a young age, make it so far but not fully make it, it's not going to be something you take lightly. It made her feel dishonest and disingenuous.
Exactly.. Some people have different situations where it was taken from them. I've learned not to judge. I have a bunch of girlfriends and all different situations so I don't judge. Depends how you treat yourself after u done it. You don't become dirty. You're still you.
CLAP CLAP CLAP!!! This needs to be framed. I am a virgin and would like to wait for marriage but if that doesnt happen, I lose it, and things dont work out with the guy then so be it. Lesson learned and experienced. My virginity is important to me but it is not all i have to give.
I lost my virginty at 16 the age I am now. I am Christian and I'm not with the person. It's one of my deepest regrets and it will be for a long time . And it's something I struggle with daily
You cant codemn yourself for a sexual act. Desire is normal, however next time just make sure you're truly ready and pick the right man. Let it be someone who has all the morals and values you have and when joth of you truly want to be together forever before taking that next step. Christianity can be too much pressure clearly, so I say live with no regrets. You've done nothing wrong. It is YOUR body and YOU own it.
+Chastity B. The Entrepreneur I hear what you're saying but Christianity isn't too much pressure. remaining a virgin until marriage is something most Christians make to honor God, yourself, and your husband. it's not something done lightly. so when somone, self included, gives in to temptation it can lead to horrible regret. because in your heart you love God and you know Him. it's not a judgement on how anyone else lives their life but something so intensely personal.
I've been exactly where you are. I understand how hard it can be to see God the same in your life after having sex. but I want to encourage you that God still sees you the same. He knew before you committed to a life serving Him that you would make a mistake and He still chose to welcome you in. He knows where your heart is right now and still loves you the same. Allow this to draw you closer to Him. Forgive yourself. Because He has already forgiven you.
+Melissa Hardy its clearly too much pressure for some people, however I am hearing your perspective. I myself am not a Christian, but im deepky spiritual so I have a much different take on things. I've dealt with the self guilt as well but got over it when I realized I didnt want to live My life with regrets. Thats never what life is about. we have the power to govern our own lives and do what we want to do, despite what society may think is "wrong".
i am going to be 20 this year and i have never even locked lips with a guy apart from pecks from my dad and brothers lmao...never had a boyfriend before..i feel its so weird and ppl find it hard to believe cos in this age ppl have sex casually(even christians) and its nothing even from a young age.. but ohh well amma just wait for the right person. pls tell me i am not the only one lol....Tamera wow u really tried...big ups to u:))
nothing wrong with you, i'm 21 gonna be 22 this year and i'm in the same boat. i've never locked lips or had a boyfriend. i used to be really self conscious about it, but after working more on my relationship with God and realizing that it didn't matter what other people thought of me as long as i felt good about my relationship with Him i became more confident in my decision to wait on God's timing, knowing that He already knows the when and the how regarding when i meet the one that He created for me. so congratulations to you on not just going out there and having sex just to fit in, and God bless you on your journey to real, true, lasting love:)
I love Tamera so much! With everybody always talking about how "saved" they are on this show...I appreciate her for TRULY holding on to her faith no matter what Hollywood may think. God turns our mess into a message. You fell short like we all have done and continue to do, but you acknowledge it and you're helping so many just by being transparent. #preach
+madeyoulook well yall bring tamar up all tge dam time talkin bout "we miss her" " the show not the same without her" bla bla bla, she been fired tho🤔🤔🤔 so i can do the same right? the show IS better without out her and she wont be missed😏😏
Angiiee Ramos -But the difference is we like Tamar. Ya'll claim to not like her and enjoy episodes when she's not there but still bring her up constantly. I wouldn't give two shits to mention someone I don't like constantly.
Angiiee Ramos Ummm, hun the new season hasn't started yet. They're still premiering episodes with Tamar in them or in this case her family member. Of course people would still be watching.
That's your opinion. But a lot of people take it very seriously cause you give yourself to another person and you're completely exposed and vulnerable. It's a sign of love and should happen after marriage in a lot of people's opinions.
Angela Carlsson I understand that. And I was simply just stating my opinion here I just don't think that being a virgin makes you any more valuable than non virgins is what I'm trying to say.
I always think everything Tamera says is very profound and I'll always agree with her the most, but my problem with the concept of waiting to have sex, is why women still believe their virginity is important to "save" for your husband/wife. Yes you can have bad sex, maybe even regret your partners, but we all need to know that our value isn't in our bodies rather our character and achievements. Virginity was obviously a personal conviction for Tamera but I hope that women who are like her know that they aren't damaged goods because they crossed the line. You may think sex should wait for marriage or just to get it over and done with but just remember we are all products of sex!
Yes I agree with you and have been saved and sanctified with the Holy Spirit for my whole life. The true lord Jesus Christ sees no difference between a virgin and not a virgin. God sees us all from the most purest places of our hearts. And he is not a legalistic God or else we would have all been already burning in hell but through his love he took effect that ultimate sacrifice and died on the cross and rose AGAIN for our sins. We were all born from sin but God loves us all the same! So let's not forget that.
Tamera, honestly she has a heart of gold sometimes I wish she stopped seeing herself as ONLY a mother and wife but her love and kindness is what touches me. :)
I made a pact with God, my parents, and myself to wait until marriage to have sex. I didn't date until I was nineteen. The first boy dumped me when I wasn't trying to have sex. I was sad but let it go. We only dated for a month so we never became a couple. My first boyfriend came along, and sadly, I lost my virginity to him. Worse, I got pregnant. I still struggle for forgive myself. I let God down. Anyway, I tried pushing my boyfriend away, I wanted punishment for what I did. Nope. He said, get out of your feelings, we are going to be parents, and I knew for five years now I wanted to marry you and have a child anyway. So he enlisted in the air force, and we got married a month after my daughter was born. I am very fortunate and blessed. Though I still struggle to forgive myself for not starting my family the right way, I am happy.
WAIT WAIT WAIT !!! PAUSE !!!. Lmao. Am I the only one who didn't know that Tamera gave it up before marriage?!?!?!!? I thought she didn't have sex til she was married. I love her even more now. She is human just like us frfr. And I understand where she is coming from. It is hard to forgive yourself when you let yourself down. I have been there too girl.
I am 22 and a virgin. I have no pact with myself and god to lose it after marriage or anything. I think that is too much pressure. I think I will have sex whenever I am ready and with a person with whom I can connect emotionally. I am not a sexual being, but I hate that some people are being shamed for being one. It is how they are and you can't help it. It's biology. Live and let live. As far as you are not hurting anyone, you can discover yourself as a sexual being and you should not feel guilty about it.
She may have not waited till her wedding night, but I still think she is so impressive by how long she waited. Most people today can't even wait until they're 16.
Aishoo 1234 THANK YOU!!!!!!!! They are all looking on the 2 years between her wedding and her first time. Y'all she waited 29 years. I'm a virgin right now at 18, and it is sometimes hard for me to keep my ass steady so I applaud her.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 It's a pity she's forgiving herself so that some of y'all shady asses can be judgemental 😒😒😒😞😞
All my peers were virgins when they got married it is very common here and it is easy when you are born and raised Muslims. However, I feel for every Christians or any other human beings for making such a decision since this society is so hyper-sexualized! Kudos for you and stay strong!
True I feel like Muslims have it much easier especially hijabis because no guy is trying to get in our pants - when they start thinking about that they usually start courting u for marriage But damn other ppl have to deal with real assholes who will leave them after they have sex or whatever
I'm a muslim girl and I'm still a virgin . However, I do have friends, who are not and do all kind of things they are not supposed to do. At the end of the day it all comes down to what you believe in and your moral beliefs.
+Angela Carlsson Håller med till 100% 👏 . I think it depends on the fact that sex isn't such a big deal in Sweden. So people tend to have sex alot more without getting judged. And then of course there is other factors that should be overlooked as how someone has been raised and as I mentioned before, what they think is right or wrong for themselves as an individual :).
I can relate to Tamara and I felt the same way when I lost my virginity at 23 years old. I am now 25 and I feel disgusted with myself ever since then and can't believe I let myself go that far with my fiancé at the time. I still haven't forgiven myself but learning how to. It's hard.
so am i gonna be the only who gon admit waitin is a pain in the butt??? dang even tho theres a heep load of fellow virgins in the comments section i still feel alone lol. waiting is 100% wat im goin to keep on doin but it SUCKS. im 24 and think thats long. now at 29???? Lord, u said u wouldnt give me more than i can bear!!! lol im just bein honest.
Thank you! I just posted the same thing. people act like its such an easy thing. From reading the comments it seems like some of these girls don't have a huge desire to have sex which makes it easier. But when your hormones are raging every day lol girllllll. I'm 22 and the thought of me having to wait another 10 years scares me. Sometimes I feel like I can't go much longer. But I'm going to stay true to myself and continue waiting.
+Sara.Without.The.H RIGHT!!! Im sayin!! i mean i KNO i wont give in because i kno wat im tryin to accomplish but DANG! This is hard work! lol. and im sorry but i have had bfs before and have had my share of kissing sessions if im bein real. lol so yea, it phases me lol
Two things I thought about Tia and Tamera. 1. They were both virgins until they were married and 2. Their parents were still together. That's okay Tamera, at least it was with your fiance.
+C Ib. Tia said her mom gave up her job for her kids to have a career. She didn't focus on herself or her marriage. Tia just said they were no longer together. No details. She doesn't say when. Tia has a really nice podcast called Mostly Mom. She spoke about this on her latest podcast.
Tamera is one of the only "celebrities" that I look up to and has been my idol. I can completely relate to her and her heart and I really thank God for having her in this show, she is blessing a lot of people!
I so appreciate Tamera for sharing this and I would like to add for those girls/women who are still virgins; make sure not to define yourself and your self-worth solely based on your virginity. I lost my virginity just this year at age 27 and it's been really devastating. I had put so much of my self-worth into being a virgin and waiting for my husband that when it was gone, I felt worthless. Like who am I if I'm not a virgin anymore? I would still recommend any girl/woman to remain a virgin if that is what they desire. But be ultra conscious of your power and confidence outside of your virginity. Be proud but don't let it define you so much that you lose yourself once it's gone.
No Condemnation for Tamera or anyone who's messes up. When you ask God for forgiveness, He forgives you. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ~Romans 8:1 //As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. ~Psalm 103:12 Love you so much Tamera!!!1 :)
I had to forgive myself for the way I ( REACTED ) to negative experiences others put me through or did to me. You can't control what others do to you but you can control the way you REACT TO things and negative experiences in life....
I honestly thought she had gotten married at 29 whenever she talked about how she lost it at that age. I always viewed her as this perfect person, but hearing about this makes me respect her even more, she is amazing and a great example. She is beautiful inside and out and if anything has made me respect her more. Despite her feeling so ashamed, she was honest, and that shows a lot about her. 💕
She lost her virginity with her boyfriend (now husband) at the time, but she didn't get married until she was 32. But at least it was all with the same man.
The amount of pressure we have on us as women is INSANE! No man has to struggle with this. I'm 26, raised Christian and still a virgin. The older I get, the harder it becomes to wait. I've never been in a relationship, but I struggle with very lustful thoughts. That alone makes me feel worthy of death. I strongly understand the pain Tamara is dealing with.
I was 15 but then again, I didn't make any type of promises to myself or anyone else. It is something that just sort of happened. I thought i was ready but I should have waited.
That's not an easy thing to admit to so I really appreciate her transparency here I think it took her a minute to get comfortable before she revealed this because there was a segment where she made a point to distinguish herself as marrying a virgin an Jeanie being celibate before marriage. This is Gods wisdom and undeniable forgiveness as I write this I understand that with him you are given a new start an she could have kept it between herself an daddy God and not shared. Bless her how special xx
I wholeheartedly understand Tamera because I made a pact to wait until marriage but I lost it at 26 years old. It was important to me and I thought GOD hated me for it but GOD doesn't condemn, the devil does. I stopped becoming sexually active at 27 and became abstinent until marriage and it's going on 4 years. I'll be 31 later this year and I have forgiven myself for it. GOD is amazing. Instead of looking at it as something I couldn't get passed, I look at it as something I had to go through and I'm a better woman today.
I can relate cause I wanted the same thing, I tried to save myself till marriage but when I met my bf at the time now he’s my husband I told him what I wanted and he respected that but after he proposed months later it just happened and none of us was expecting it or even thought about doing it so it took me a long time to forgive myself but I’m happy that I did it with the person that I married months later 😍 and we’re still happily married and expecting 👶🏽
I hate how people make shows about being a teen mom, or kids having sex really early and almost turn it into something alright, but if you say you are a virgin people laugh at you make fun of you and try to make you feel you are not normal. How about respecting people's choices, if you are confident in your own choices you shouldn't feel like you have to make fun of others. I love that this segment did not turn into a joke
Adrienne is right. I commend Tamera for her honesty. Because she really didn't have to disclose any information about her sex life. She doesn't owe anyone that personal information.
Just curious.....why is it such a horrible sin to have sex before marriage? We're all sinners whether we're married or not aren't we? Isn't sex such a natural thing? I can understand if someone is just hopping from person to person having sex and one-night stands, but even if you're in a committed relationship and have an emotional, intellectual, spiritual bond with someone and choose to have sex, why is it so sinful? A lot of times marriages end in divorce, so i mean, it is my opinion that if you feel in your heart that you're in love with someone and they are in love with you, then why not share such a special moment with them? Why do we have to have the papers and the ring and the ceremony etc etc?? #foodforthought #curious
If you're a Christian then you know the Bible insists on not having sex before marriage and for Christians, marriage is much more than a ring or a piece of a paper. If you're not a Christian, then I guess it is okay to have sex whenever
Nobody knows but you. But who want to be the girl that 19/20 year old with 30 dude she already slept with. Your body is your Temple, all used up. Can’t remember the dudes name, cause they aren’t worth remembering.
Whenever Tamera talks about this, I feel sad for her. I feel sad that her parents, who may have been taught by their parents, that(especially girls) should or have to wait to have sex until marriage. The reason I find it sad is because by controlling her sexuality and putting her on this pedestal, it did more harm than the intended good they thought it would bring. I know there are some people who have waited and don't regret it, and that's great. But the fact that they [society] put something so natural on such a pedestal to be obtained rather than just experienced creates a problem. Now instead of embracing your sexual feelings and acting out on them responsibly(and by responsibly, I mean when you understand the consequences) you're forced to hone it in for years and unleash it when you've done a ceremony. The notion of teaching kids to wait for a specific time to act out on natural urges is really harmful. And, it's not just recently that it's been difficult for people to wait until marriage to have sex. It's always been hard since thousands of years ago because waiting until marriage will not bring down STD rates(screening for STD's before having sex will), will not make your relationship stronger (being committed and other factors will), it's just unrealistic.
i just LOVE Tamera and how real she is with her beliefs, opinions and never lets anyone make her feel weird about. Same goes for Jeannie. Not to "bash" Tamar, but i really think we are gonna see a more open/serious girl chat with depth, with no mouth-smacking noise and neck rolling from tamar :D
Damnn I'm a virgin too, but it's soo hard. You guys act like it's so easy. I'm reading the comments from other virgins and they're making it seem like its a bed of roses. It's really not lol. My hormones are raging every single day. I see some people saying that they waited till they were 30/35 to lose their virginity. But I seriously cannot wait that long. I'm 22. And thinking that I might have to wait another 12-13 years to have sex scares me smh. God will have to send the right person soon. Cause who wants to wait that long to do it? I see the pattern with women who chose to wait to lose their virginity. They end up getting married in their late 30's. That seriously cannot happen to me. I'm only human and there's only so much I can take. Smh I love God and everything but he makes it so difficult. And there's no guarantee that I'll get married either. What If i never find the right person?? AHHH. This is so stressful.
I am with tamera all the way. I waited to have sex till I got married. I was 28 and I dont regret it at all because i love my husband very much. You are an inspiration tamera.
Can I tell you staying a Virgin doesn't make you more pure than someone who is isn't one. To prove this tamera is more pure than some people who are virgins because purity is about the mind than the body I tell you that. I'm not saying to condemn but to remind myself and others that don't beat urself up if u aren't a virgin it's really about your mind and for the virgins out there , remember it's about the mind don't let your mind become perverted with it
Tamera is the cutest, sweetest person on television oh my fucking God. She's soooooooo kind and you can tell she has a great heart it just makes me cry seeing her cry.
Why did her husband take her virginity? Didn't marry her but took her virginity? They were together for 5 years! Her husband a jerk for that. She should be mad at him not herself
I'm a virgin and I'm not waiting for marriage but I want a committed loving relationship with someone who is a strong independent God fearing loving man . Honestly if I had listened to every sweet word a guy said to me I would be in a worse position I am today now. I'm 21 now and nothing has happened but we will see.
I really mean this in a nice way but if you want a God fearing man he may not want to have sex with you before you are married if those are his religious beliefs.
no I agree with both of you . I think I'm the one who needs to be God fearing . the guy I'm talking to now although he has had sex but this was over 4 years ago he's now celibate until marriage. he's so sweet a charming goes to church plus he leads the children bible study. has invited me as well. he even alternates and goes church with his parents one week which over 2 hours drive and his church the other week so hes very famoly orientated. I stopped properly talking to him only because although the I've prayed asking for this kind of guy I don't feel like I deserve him. I need to sort myself out first .
Shan Parke I think that guys so alot of AMAZING qualities that you dont want to miss out on. That being said you have to want a relationship with jesus for yourself, no one else can do it for you. When you are ready to accept Gods salvation and love you will realise that he or someone like that is soemone you deserve because you are a child of a king and God loves to Lavish blessings on us.
Aw Tamera really has a pure heart. You know you can see she has a relationship with God and it's actually deep if it affected her that much. God has forgiven you Tamera and He has blessed you so much! I'm glad she knows that :)
Just listening to Tamera talking on the REAL, I have grown to have huge respect for her. And being honest about something so close to her just makes me respect her more!
annie parker I love Adrienne with all my heart been there since the Cheetah Girl days and never left have all her songs on my SoundCloud and everything but the man that she's with is know for cheating I meant to put infidelity of a boyfriend not abusive that's my fault I was actually watching a Rihanna music video so I guess I got the two fucked up
Adrienne is THAT friend!!! Knows your struggles, knows when NOT to make a joke of something that she knows really hurt you in the past. I think Tam is the same kind of friend to Adrienne. I LOVED how Adrienne kept eye contact with Tam because she knew exactly where she was going with this story. I hope we ALL have a true friend like this in our lifetime!
Omg I noticed that too!! I love Adrienne for always advocating for and supporting her friends 💞 just like how she always stood up for Jeannie not wanting kids even when the cohosts themselves said she would be a great mom.
Such a sweetheart
They both come from very religious Christian backgrounds, so Adrienne understands where Tamera comes from.
Aww Tamera. I love her honesty. Some people won't understand it, but celibacy is extremely important and personal.
Empressive why is it important to you?
True!
HOYAWNCÉ the Overrated Demon bitch you shuddup
@James Demouchet They came AFTER her marriage . . Hence CELIBACY . No sex until marriage . You can be celibate even after you lose your virginity at any moment before marriage
@@kays4127 Thank you for clearing that up cuz she was so freaking stupid
I've had a boyfriend he broke up me with me because I wouldn't do it with him 😔😔am glad I didn't thou
ITS NOT WORTH IT! PLEASE KEEP YOUR VIRGINITY!! lol but fareal please try your VERY best to wait. its nothing really out here girl worth doing it if hes not trying to be your husband. Listen to me please wait i swear im always forgiving myself (trying) about not being a virgin and waiting until marriage.
Those people are the worst! Do you, boo!
You dodged a bullet! You deserve better .
good on you hun! Don't change what you believe about your body for anyone !
Good for you! Same thing happened to me the only difference is that we weren't official yet. So yes Hun you definitely dodged a bullet! You probably would have had heartache and headache with him. You'll know when it's right when you meet the right person. Waiting is a good thing! :)
im 22 and still waiting till marriage. must people dont believe because you dont hear that anymore.
Same here girl! :]
my friend is 25, still virgin. so proud of her for doing what she believes in
Danny Perez Yes! That is great, she should stand for what she believes in. :] I´m rotting for her ^^
same hereee🙋
Wish you the best on your journey of celibacy! ❤️
Everytime Tamara starts crying, I start crying
Me too!
Yes it never fails and I truly understand exactly how she feels!!
Yes so true
She cries in every episode
Seriously I can't take it. I should watch with make up on.
it's quite ugly that all everyone thinks she's upset about is the fact that she had sex -_- pretty naive... She's upset because she felt that she disappointed God... It's like a very religious woman having an abortion, that can eat you up inside because God blessed you w/ a child and you terminated an innocent.
And since when is it ok to bash a woman for crying ?! can she live? is her crying really ruining your life? So damn cold-hearted..excuse her for being a real person and showing emotion sheesh!
I think Adam made her give it up. That's why Tia doesn't like him that much. Just my opinion
+asdfg77 then why did she marry him?
What? I never knew Tia didn't like Adam
Thx Nessa ..I cried just watching her so heart-felt because it is very hard forgiving yourself for disappointing your Father in Heaven
Nessa L.
I am with Tamera. I am a virgin and also made a pact to God. I'm afraid that I will not "follow through". I know God is a forgiving God but I feel like I wouldn't forgive myself and disappoint God. I always pray that he gives me strength, and cast away any thoughts because this is something that I will accomplish...
💪
Bless you. You are worth keeping yourself for the best.
amennn
just keep praying and know that they r others out there like yourself which includes me✌✌
It can get hard but just keep honoring GOD and help you through it and remember if man can't respect your wish he's not worth you time or gift. I believe that by honoring GOD HE will bless your marriage.
So I will be 28 tomorrow and I'm still a virgin. To this day I don't regret it. I don't see myself better or worst than anyone else. It was just a personal choice and a reflection of my self respect and worth. I love Tamera for being so honest!
La Luna Bohemia are you still waiting until marriage? Are you married now?
YESS HONEY!!
I'm 32 and still a virgin.
Wow niceeeee ...Keep up
La Luna Bohemia ♥️🙏🏽
I love that they always talk about God and religion.
yea definitely
YES!!!
Amen!!
Me too. And surprisingly, I never see negative comments about them always speaking about their faith. I love it. I feel like God is truly in the mist.
Amen!
"oh we're going deep" Lol jeannie😂
Tamera reminds me of David in the bible. He loved God so much, doing God's work etc but even still as a human he fell short of God's glory. But he repented and God willingly forgave him; blessing him greatly to the extent that Jesus is a direct descendant of David. Such an inspiration to us all that no matter what wrong we've done, as long you are truly sorry God is able to forgive and forget.
Maryrose
Amen
But you must to Repent. God is not going to keep forgiving you for the same sins, over& over again
+Kristie Bach As long as we're on this earth, living and breathing he will forgive us even if it's the same sin over and over. Life means a second chance no matter how many times we sin and even if it's the exact same son. Some people can let go of their sins much quicker than others.... All of us has such a unique r.s with God that he treats each of us differently. For us who know better he may discipline and for someone with little faith he may let them fall time and time again before disciplining. It boils down to the r.s.
So Jesus is God? Then who did Jesus bow down to and worship at his time? I'm just curious. Is he God or the Son of God
+Rose Tiii Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are one and the same. Jesus came as God in the flesh to live a life without sin that we may be saved. It is not by logic that we understand this but by faith that we receive the gospel. I stress: It is not by logic.
Lol I'm 18 soon to be 19 and I'm still a virgin. It's not on purpose tho Lmfaoo. I've never had a boyfriend or kiss anyone. It's no big deal to me lol.
Same!!! I am 16 and have never had a boyfriend or been kissed but it really bothers me because people always say that I am a pretty but they won't come to me because they know they won't get the cookie
OMG I thought I was alone.
story of my life lmao
Exactly the same....^^^
I'm 18 almost 19 too same here
I respect Tamera for having strong convictions. Everyone may not be able to relate to it, but SOMEONE definitely will.
Sydney D exactly and for people shaming Adam saying he made her break her vow no he didn't there was 2 people in that relationship 2 people making decisions. Tam clearly loves Adam and Adam clearly loves Tam. You just hear more from Tam because she is on a talk show. Adam talks about Tam and the kids every single day on his social media. Id rather have someone showing they love each other than saying it to prove a point.
I definitely relate to it.She is incredible hle
I can!
she marries adam when she had sex so she didnt even do anuthing wrong
@@uhohstinky5850 I think she might’ve even had sex with him so at least she kept that one partner. And even if she didn’t, I’m still very much proud of her
I forgave myself for having an abortion, after living in guilt for many years, I realized i was telling JESUS, "your blood wasn't enough to wash my sins" and that is a lie from the pit of hell. Thank you Jesus.
TRUTH! Thanks for sharing. His grace is sufficient
I still haven't forgiven myself for the same thing, see I couldn't even say it!
👏👏👏👏👏 The blood of Jesus is potent enough, took away ALL sins we ask him to forgive.No need to carry them anymore.
You just said a mouthful.
The blood of Jesus!!!
Carina Cruz my sister, we are not made to carry guilt, he says as far as the east is from the west, so have i removed your sins from you. your child will run into your arms and call you mother one day when you go to heaven, dont give the enemy anymore of your power, forgive yourself because God forgave you even before you did the sin, i will pray for you.
Took me a while to realize Tamera was talking about forgiving herself because she did have sex before marriage. I was so confused for the majority of this clip lmao
She sort of talked around the the subject for a while before getting to the point.
Yes it was Adam.She confirmed it previously. I don't remember when though.
She's 37 currently, and lost her virginity at 29. She's been married for 5 years, dated Adam 6 years before that. I think it's a fairly safe assumption to say it was with Adam.
+Christina M daaaaaang hahaha
+Christina M I think that's why their bond is so strong. The fact that she saved herself and Adam was her first and only is very special. God Bless them.
I'm 19 going on 20 still virgin Waiting for that special someone
I was 22 and it was hard to wait till then. I don't know how she waited till 29. Very patient
Me too !!
+cutiedean exactly!!
Me too!
Me too girl! Proud of you!
I'm 20, virgin, studying Neuroscience, never had a boyfriend, never swore, never drank alcohol, and still hoping for a happy future.
Rose Veatupu OmG........ I was not looking for that ending 😴😴😴
Thought it would be about hoping to see God (heaven)😭😭😭😭
keep going girl!! never swearing is a hard one though how??
Hi Rose. I am also on a similar path as you. Would you like to connect on Facebook and chat sometime?
That’s really good. Keep your self pure until you find a guy who deserve you. I’m 28 myself waiting
Being a virgin is not something to feel bad about , and ur keeping a promise to yourself to wait is definitely hard but as long as you believe you will find the right person to be able to do it with before marriage ! Now it is easier said than done ! But Tamera was always an angel , she stuck to her and waited to do it with the right man who happens to be her husband ! And to anybody out there in the world that is looking at this and can't forgive themselves , all I have to say is this : God's love is definitely redeeming , you don't have to do anything to earn it , he just loves you as you are !
Mad 😂
Amen it is not by our works or else we could save ourselves. It's great to do good things out of faith and LOVE but none of those things get us into heaven. It is by only the Blood of Jesus and the mercy of him and that is the most important thing to be thankful for period.
If I can just reach one child of God and say: save your virginity until marriage. It is one of the most precious moments in life and it is a more spiritual act than we can possibly fathom. God forgives but how divine it is to trust and obey Him!
Blessings
amen!
wat if the sex is bad..or they dnt turn u on smh..wrong kind of advice
+dance4life1208 you must know that the sex is not always great at the beginning of any type of relationship, whether its marriage or not. It will develop if you get to know your partner, experience together and both of you learn what you like and so on. coming from a virgin 👆
+dance4life1208 excuse my english. the devil often deceives us by letting us think that we have to practice outside marriage for the sex to become 'good', which is a lie
Do you buy the car before taking it for a test drive? just curious
I am 26 and still saving myself for marriage! God is so good! I appreciate Tamera's transparency, one of the many reasons why I love her.
Amen.
That’s beautiful…I’m 26 and a virgin also giving him till 28 though 😂..Any updates Are you married now? 💃🏽
Omg I just love Tamera and her relationship with God. She has such strong values and principles (as I do) and it's so refreshing and inspiring to see in someone else 💛
True eish
It hurts me to see how religion can sometimes mess up our conceptions of God or our bond with Him. And i speak as a person that lived that myself. I was raised in a very strict religious environment. And when i lost my virginity that messed me up a lot cause i thought my bond with God was gone. Until i realize that my relationship with God didnt depend on my virginity. Until i realize that a my relationship with God supposed to be way more than follow the church rules, but LIVE what Jesus taught us. Remain a virgin should be something you feel in your heart, something between you and God and not because at the church someone told you so. But if somehow you couldnt do it, it is okay too! God will love you the same way He did before. P.S: I love Tamera and admire her as christian woman.
Towanda sipping her tea 😂😂😂
I feel like she trying too hard to be like Tamar smh Tamar the baby of the family -she's the youngest- and no one can ever be like her
She don't try to be like Tamar, the thing is that they being raised under yhe same roof and have the same education so sometimes they act alike but that does not mean she try to be like Tamar.
Sylziana CAIRO What I'm saying is Tamar has her own personality I see she's very different from the bunch Towanda seems corny and I don't know not original? I guess that's what I'm feeling no else has to agree or disagree cause it isn't an opinion its how I feel based on what I'm seeing
+CeCe Goddess (Une_Unique_Belle_Fille) being the youngest sibling usually means she picked up pieces of each of her siblings personality and it's just magnified can by a million. But let's not act like that's Tamars original personality either. She really just imitates black gay culture honestly.
tennisstar2011 Oh I always felt like she was always different but you're right too she grew up in such a big family that's why she has this big personality
I love Tamera but damn it I hate when she beats herself over losing her virginity before marriage. You were not less worthy because you had sex. Same goes if you are still a virgin. I don't understand why we as women place so much value on ourselves based on our vaginas.
total agree
She never said she was less worthy. That was her personal promise to God who she clearly loves. When you decide on something like that at a young age, make it so far but not fully make it, it's not going to be something you take lightly. It made her feel dishonest and disingenuous.
Exactly.. Some people have different situations where it was taken from them. I've learned not to judge. I have a bunch of girlfriends and all different situations so I don't judge. Depends how you treat yourself after u done it. You don't become dirty. You're still you.
I think you missed the point. It's about breaking her pact with God which in turn was a pact with herself.
CLAP CLAP CLAP!!! This needs to be framed. I am a virgin and would like to wait for marriage but if that doesnt happen, I lose it, and things dont work out with the guy then so be it. Lesson learned and experienced. My virginity is important to me but it is not all i have to give.
I am 40, and I'm a virgin. I'm still waiting upon the Lord. He will come through for me in Jesus' name.
Hey how are you? Update?
@@xxsnxx0037 she is no longer a virgin 😂👩🦯
Amen
Wow. I'm 29 and I'm struggling. I cannot imagine going another 10 years. I pray that God has given you your hearts desires 🙏 ❤
Dang, you're tough!
I lost my virginty at 16 the age I am now. I am Christian and I'm not with the person. It's one of my deepest regrets and it will be for a long time . And it's something I struggle with daily
You cant codemn yourself for a sexual act. Desire is normal, however next time just make sure you're truly ready and pick the right man. Let it be someone who has all the morals and values you have and when joth of you truly want to be together forever before taking that next step. Christianity can be too much pressure clearly, so I say live with no regrets. You've done nothing wrong. It is YOUR body and YOU own it.
+Chastity B. The Entrepreneur thank you so much ❤️ God bless
+Chastity B. The Entrepreneur I hear what you're saying but Christianity isn't too much pressure. remaining a virgin until marriage is something most Christians make to honor God, yourself, and your husband. it's not something done lightly. so when somone, self included, gives in to temptation it can lead to horrible regret. because in your heart you love God and you know Him. it's not a judgement on how anyone else lives their life but something so intensely personal.
I've been exactly where you are. I understand how hard it can be to see God the same in your life after having sex. but I want to encourage you that God still sees you the same. He knew before you committed to a life serving Him that you would make a mistake and He still chose to welcome you in. He knows where your heart is right now and still loves you the same. Allow this to draw you closer to Him. Forgive yourself. Because He has already forgiven you.
+Melissa Hardy its clearly too much pressure for some people, however I am hearing your perspective. I myself am not a Christian, but im deepky spiritual so I have a much different take on things. I've dealt with the self guilt as well but got over it when I realized I didnt want to live My life with regrets. Thats never what life is about. we have the power to govern our own lives and do what we want to do, despite what society may think is "wrong".
i am going to be 20 this year and i have never even locked lips with a guy apart from pecks from my dad and brothers lmao...never had a boyfriend before..i feel its so weird and ppl find it hard to believe cos in this age ppl have sex casually(even christians) and its nothing even from a young age.. but ohh well amma just wait for the right person. pls tell me i am not the only one lol....Tamera wow u really tried...big ups to u:))
your not im 21 and still a virgin im still waitin for my mr right and im proud of it there nothing wrong wit being a virgin and waiting ☺☺
I am 20 years old and never had a boyfriend and have also never kissed anyone before.
Same to all of the above. Just turned 21 on Monday.
nothing wrong with you, i'm 21 gonna be 22 this year and i'm in the same boat. i've never locked lips or had a boyfriend. i used to be really self conscious about it, but after working more on my relationship with God and realizing that it didn't matter what other people thought of me as long as i felt good about my relationship with Him i became more confident in my decision to wait on God's timing, knowing that He already knows the when and the how regarding when i meet the one that He created for me. so congratulations to you on not just going out there and having sex just to fit in, and God bless you on your journey to real, true, lasting love:)
Same here and I'm 20. Stay strong.
I love Tamera so much! With everybody always talking about how "saved" they are on this show...I appreciate her for TRULY holding on to her faith no matter what Hollywood may think. God turns our mess into a message. You fell short like we all have done and continue to do, but you acknowledge it and you're helping so many just by being transparent. #preach
When Tamar is not in the panel everyone has equal chance to speak and one interrupts each other.
exactlyyyy i love it this way
If ya'll like when Tamar is gone so much why constantly bring her up?
+madeyoulook well yall bring tamar up all tge dam time talkin bout "we miss her"
" the show not the same without her" bla bla bla, she been fired tho🤔🤔🤔 so i can do the same right? the show IS better without out her and she wont be missed😏😏
Angiiee Ramos -But the difference is we like Tamar. Ya'll claim to not like her and enjoy episodes when she's not there but still bring her up constantly. I wouldn't give two shits to mention someone I don't like constantly.
Angiiee Ramos Ummm, hun the new season hasn't started yet. They're still premiering episodes with Tamar in them or in this case her family member. Of course people would still be watching.
Towanda was so sweet when she rubbed Tamera’s back ❤️
I think being virgin or non-virgin is fine, it won't define you as a person, that's ridiculous.
Exactly
Well of course your right but nobody said it defined them as a person, she was just upset because she broke the promise that she made.
That's your opinion. But a lot of people take it very seriously cause you give yourself to another person and you're completely exposed and vulnerable. It's a sign of love and should happen after marriage in a lot of people's opinions.
Angela Carlsson I understand that. And I was simply just stating my opinion here I just don't think that being a virgin makes you any more valuable than non virgins is what I'm trying to say.
***** Agreed.
I always think everything Tamera says is very profound and I'll always agree with her the most, but my problem with the concept of waiting to have sex, is why women still believe their virginity is important to "save" for your husband/wife. Yes you can have bad sex, maybe even regret your partners, but we all need to know that our value isn't in our bodies rather our character and achievements. Virginity was obviously a personal conviction for Tamera but I hope that women who are like her know that they aren't damaged goods because they crossed the line. You may think sex should wait for marriage or just to get it over and done with but just remember we are all products of sex!
Well it was a bit more than that, she was upset that she broke her promise to herself and God.
Yes I agree with you and have been saved and sanctified with the Holy Spirit for my whole life. The true lord Jesus Christ sees no difference between a virgin and not a virgin. God sees us all from the most purest places of our hearts. And he is not a legalistic God or else we would have all been already burning in hell but through his love he took effect that ultimate sacrifice and died on the cross and rose AGAIN for our sins. We were all born from sin but God loves us all the same! So let's not forget that.
why does adrienne do her lips like that lol
Tamera, honestly she has a heart of gold sometimes I wish she stopped seeing herself as ONLY a mother and wife but her love and kindness is what touches me. :)
Adrienne, them earrings girl. I couldn't focus on what she was saying because I was watching her ear stretch like bubblegum.
Lmfaooooooooooooo 💀💀💀💀💀💀
ikr haha
Lana Kareem lmfaoooooo why am I dying at this comment!!!!
Damnit...Tamera always makes me teary when she cries.😿 she's just so loving and genuine..
I made a pact with God, my parents, and myself to wait until marriage to have sex. I didn't date until I was nineteen. The first boy dumped me when I wasn't trying to have sex. I was sad but let it go. We only dated for a month so we never became a couple. My first boyfriend came along, and sadly, I lost my virginity to him. Worse, I got pregnant. I still struggle for forgive myself. I let God down. Anyway, I tried pushing my boyfriend away, I wanted punishment for what I did. Nope. He said, get out of your feelings, we are going to be parents, and I knew for five years now I wanted to marry you and have a child anyway. So he enlisted in the air force, and we got married a month after my daughter was born. I am very fortunate and blessed. Though I still struggle to forgive myself for not starting my family the right way, I am happy.
a.d.w. n. Love this ❤❤
Jeannie you are such a good friend, I love your complement to Tamera
WAIT WAIT WAIT !!! PAUSE !!!. Lmao. Am I the only one who didn't know that Tamera gave it up before marriage?!?!?!!? I thought she didn't have sex til she was married. I love her even more now. She is human just like us frfr. And I understand where she is coming from. It is hard to forgive yourself when you let yourself down. I have been there too girl.
yeah in another show she said her and her husband had sex once before they got married and then decided not to til after.
@@Aname87 ohhh, soo he did become her husband?
Aww that's soo sweet if he did.
I am 22 and a virgin. I have no pact with myself and god to lose it after marriage or anything. I think that is too much pressure. I think I will have sex whenever I am ready and with a person with whom I can connect emotionally. I am not a sexual being, but I hate that some people are being shamed for being one. It is how they are and you can't help it. It's biology. Live and let live. As far as you are not hurting anyone, you can discover yourself as a sexual being and you should not feel guilty about it.
I mean, People have different morals and values, you know.
aquaeyes33 but then what if that person leaves you and guess what waste of time ...
She may have not waited till her wedding night, but I still think she is so impressive by how long she waited. Most people today can't even wait until they're 16.
Aishoo 1234 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
They are all looking on the 2 years between her wedding and her first time.
Y'all she waited 29 years.
I'm a virgin right now at 18, and it is sometimes hard for me to keep my ass steady so I applaud her.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's a pity she's forgiving herself so that some of y'all shady asses can be judgemental 😒😒😒😞😞
absolutely ridiculous You are welcome.
Why did Adam take so long to propose.
All my peers were virgins when they got married it is very common here and it is easy when you are born and raised Muslims. However, I feel for every Christians or any other human beings for making such a decision since this society is so hyper-sexualized! Kudos for you and stay strong!
True I feel like Muslims have it much easier especially hijabis because no guy is trying to get in our pants - when they start thinking about that they usually start courting u for marriage
But damn other ppl have to deal with real assholes who will leave them after they have sex or whatever
I know plenty of Muslim girls who have lost their virginity during their teen years, so no, it's not "easier". It just depends on the person.
Don't feel sorry for Christians! Our Lord is Jesus who came out of the bosom of the Almighty.
I'm a muslim girl and I'm still a virgin . However, I do have friends, who are not and do all kind of things they are not supposed to do. At the end of the day it all comes down to what you believe in and your moral beliefs.
+Angela Carlsson Håller med till 100% 👏 . I think it depends on the fact that sex isn't such a big deal in Sweden. So people tend to have sex alot more without getting judged. And then of course there is other factors that should be overlooked as how someone has been raised and as I mentioned before, what they think is right or wrong for themselves as an individual :).
I can relate to Tamara and I felt the same way when I lost my virginity at 23 years old. I am now 25 and I feel disgusted with myself ever since then and can't believe I let myself go that far with my fiancé at the time. I still haven't forgiven myself but learning how to. It's hard.
so am i gonna be the only who gon admit waitin is a pain in the butt??? dang even tho theres a heep load of fellow virgins in the comments section i still feel alone lol. waiting is 100% wat im goin to keep on doin but it SUCKS. im 24 and think thats long. now at 29???? Lord, u said u wouldnt give me more than i can bear!!! lol im just bein honest.
Thank you! I just posted the same thing. people act like its such an easy thing. From reading the comments it seems like some of these girls don't have a huge desire to have sex which makes it easier. But when your hormones are raging every day lol girllllll. I'm 22 and the thought of me having to wait another 10 years scares me. Sometimes I feel like I can't go much longer. But I'm going to stay true to myself and continue waiting.
+Sara.Without.The.H RIGHT!!! Im sayin!! i mean i KNO i wont give in because i kno wat im tryin to accomplish but DANG! This is hard work! lol. and im sorry but i have had bfs before and have had my share of kissing sessions if im bein real. lol so yea, it phases me lol
Lol damn if I being honest as well, I've gone beyond kissing. Lord Jesus help me. I'm only human!! But I promise myself I won't go any further.
+Sara.Without.The.H lol look i feel we all been there OK. But God is good & God is great!
queenie bowen
That's right!
Lol I feel better now. I feel understood.
Two things I thought about Tia and Tamera. 1. They were both virgins until they were married and 2. Their parents were still together. That's okay Tamera, at least it was with your fiance.
Are their parents divorced?
+C Ib. Tia said her mom gave up her job for her kids to have a career. She didn't focus on herself or her marriage. Tia just said they were no longer together. No details. She doesn't say when. Tia has a really nice podcast called Mostly Mom. She spoke about this on her latest podcast.
+Trini Vegan wow I had no clue. That must be hard for them. Thanks.
Tia &Tamera had that reality show and she said she had sex with Adam before they were married. Surprised other people didnt know.
newbeauty80 was that season 1? that's the only season I missed
Am I the only one who wants to hug Tamera right now?
I'm right there with you girl 😥
Nopr u are not the only one
Tamera is one of the only "celebrities" that I look up to and has been my idol. I can completely relate to her and her heart and I really thank God for having her in this show, she is blessing a lot of people!
She is really a blessing.#tearsdrop
A role model but not an idol. Tamera really is amazing 💯❤
I lost my virginity at 23 to my bf. I'm glad i waited. He was also a virgin :)
Aww
+heyits me usually it's only people that have been with a lot of people say this
AND?
heyits me AND what? You want more or just jealous af?
responding to the wrong person bbe
I don't care when I will lose it as long as it's with the right person❤️
Sarah O I truly hope that right person is my husband
I so appreciate Tamera for sharing this and I would like to add for those girls/women who are still virgins; make sure not to define yourself and your self-worth solely based on your virginity. I lost my virginity just this year at age 27 and it's been really devastating. I had put so much of my self-worth into being a virgin and waiting for my husband that when it was gone, I felt worthless. Like who am I if I'm not a virgin anymore? I would still recommend any girl/woman to remain a virgin if that is what they desire. But be ultra conscious of your power and confidence outside of your virginity. Be proud but don't let it define you so much that you lose yourself once it's gone.
No Condemnation for Tamera or anyone who's messes up. When you ask God for forgiveness, He forgives you. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ~Romans 8:1 //As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us. ~Psalm 103:12 Love you so much Tamera!!!1 :)
I had to forgive myself for the way I ( REACTED ) to negative experiences others put me through or did to me. You can't control what others do to you but you can control the way you REACT TO things and negative experiences in life....
1:45 YES TAMERA! YOU BETTER SPREAD THAT GOSPEL!!
I honestly thought she had gotten married at 29 whenever she talked about how she lost it at that age. I always viewed her as this perfect person, but hearing about this makes me respect her even more, she is amazing and a great example. She is beautiful inside and out and if anything has made me respect her more. Despite her feeling so ashamed, she was honest, and that shows a lot about her. 💕
I didn’t get it can u explain pleaseee
She lost her virginity with her boyfriend (now husband) at the time, but she didn't get married until she was 32. But at least it was all with the same man.
Ok, so what she was saying was she was a virgin until 29, slipped up, then remained celibate until she married Adam??
Yup ur right
Yea .Adam was actually her first..
She didn't mess up, she married him anyway, but I get she was waiting for marriage first
and shame on adam for letting her break her vow to god
Wait no, in the test season, she said it was with an ex-boyfriend?
Im 20 and still a virgin and will be a virgin till marriage . I love tamera for speaking up about it , people like us really appreciate it
The amount of pressure we have on us as women is INSANE! No man has to struggle with this. I'm 26, raised Christian and still a virgin. The older I get, the harder it becomes to wait. I've never been in a relationship, but I struggle with very lustful thoughts. That alone makes me feel worthy of death. I strongly understand the pain Tamara is dealing with.
Giirl! That’s my story too I totally relate I’m also 26 and a Virgin giving my husband till 28 though 😂… Any updates have you married since?
Tamera couldnt forgive herself for waiting till she 30 dam what does that make me ...... (I was 16 lmao)
Well you probably aren't as a devoutly religious as her lol.
I think promises are important to her, especially breaking a promise that she made to God and herself was real hard to her! :-)
I was 15 but then again, I didn't make any type of promises to myself or anyone else. It is something that just sort of happened. I thought i was ready but I should have waited.
That's not an easy thing to admit to so I really appreciate her transparency here I think it took her a minute to get comfortable before she revealed this because there was a segment where she made a point to distinguish herself as marrying a virgin an Jeanie being celibate before marriage. This is Gods wisdom and undeniable forgiveness as I write this I understand that with him you are given a new start an she could have kept it between herself an daddy God and not shared. Bless her how special xx
I loved tamera as a kid and I love her even more as an adult
I love Tamera. People who don't like her or annoyed by her don't have any morals
I wholeheartedly understand Tamera because I made a pact to wait until marriage but I lost it at 26 years old. It was important to me and I thought GOD hated me for it but GOD doesn't condemn, the devil does. I stopped becoming sexually active at 27 and became abstinent until marriage and it's going on 4 years. I'll be 31 later this year and I have forgiven myself for it. GOD is amazing. Instead of looking at it as something I couldn't get passed, I look at it as something I had to go through and I'm a better woman today.
I can relate cause I wanted the same thing, I tried to save myself till marriage but when I met my bf at the time now he’s my husband I told him what I wanted and he respected that but after he proposed months later it just happened and none of us was expecting it or even thought about doing it so it took me a long time to forgive myself but I’m happy that I did it with the person that I married months later 😍 and we’re still happily married and expecting 👶🏽
Not at Adrienne pouting for her life at the beginning of this video, hahahahaha.
Sorry, I hadn't even watched this video before making my comment. SO BEAUTIFUL. Oh Tamera
Tamara you have a heart of gold!!!
GOD is the one who knows your heart Tam and you have inspired many people out there.Including me.
I'm so done with the weird face Adrienne makes all the time.. at 0:01
Looking like billy the puppet
sunken in cheeks and protruding her lips out. like bish we know you ain't white we know you have lips
LMAO
She's beautiful. Leave her alone!
LOOOL RIGHT
lmaooooo i have no idea why she does that it kills me everytime i love her tho
I hate how people make shows about being a teen mom, or kids having sex really early and almost turn it into something alright, but if you say you are a virgin people laugh at you make fun of you and try to make you feel you are not normal. How about respecting people's choices, if you are confident in your own choices you shouldn't feel like you have to make fun of others. I love that this segment did not turn into a joke
Adrienne is right. I commend Tamera for her honesty. Because she really didn't have to disclose any information about her sex life. She doesn't owe anyone that personal information.
2:10...i though Adrienne's ear lobe was gonna fall off
Just curious.....why is it such a horrible sin to have sex before marriage? We're all sinners whether we're married or not aren't we? Isn't sex such a natural thing? I can understand if someone is just hopping from person to person having sex and one-night stands, but even if you're in a committed relationship and have an emotional, intellectual, spiritual bond with someone and choose to have sex, why is it so sinful? A lot of times marriages end in divorce, so i mean, it is my opinion that if you feel in your heart that you're in love with someone and they are in love with you, then why not share such a special moment with them? Why do we have to have the papers and the ring and the ceremony etc etc?? #foodforthought #curious
People have different morals and values, she was upset that she broke her promise to herself and God.
If you're a Christian then you know the Bible insists on not having sex before marriage and for Christians, marriage is much more than a ring or a piece of a paper. If you're not a Christian, then I guess it is okay to have sex whenever
Nobody knows but you. But who want to be the girl that 19/20 year old with 30 dude she already slept with. Your body is your Temple, all used up. Can’t remember the dudes name, cause they aren’t worth remembering.
Whenever Tamera talks about this, I feel sad for her. I feel sad that her parents, who may have been taught by their parents, that(especially girls) should or have to wait to have sex until marriage. The reason I find it sad is because by controlling her sexuality and putting her on this pedestal, it did more harm than the intended good they thought it would bring. I know there are some people who have waited and don't regret it, and that's great. But the fact that they [society] put something so natural on such a pedestal to be obtained rather than just experienced creates a problem. Now instead of embracing your sexual feelings and acting out on them responsibly(and by responsibly, I mean when you understand the consequences) you're forced to hone it in for years and unleash it when you've done a ceremony. The notion of teaching kids to wait for a specific time to act out on natural urges is really harmful. And, it's not just recently that it's been difficult for people to wait until marriage to have sex. It's always been hard since thousands of years ago because waiting until marriage will not bring down STD rates(screening for STD's before having sex will), will not make your relationship stronger (being committed and other factors will), it's just unrealistic.
i just LOVE Tamera and how real she is with her beliefs, opinions and never lets anyone make her feel weird about. Same goes for Jeannie.
Not to "bash" Tamar, but i really think we are gonna see a more open/serious girl chat with depth, with no mouth-smacking noise and neck rolling from tamar :D
I'm 27 and still a virgin so Tamera you may not be alone!
Damnn I'm a virgin too, but it's soo hard. You guys act like it's so easy. I'm reading the comments from other virgins and they're making it seem like its a bed of roses. It's really not lol. My hormones are raging every single day. I see some people saying that they waited till they were 30/35 to lose their virginity. But I seriously cannot wait that long. I'm 22. And thinking that I might have to wait another 12-13 years to have sex scares me smh. God will have to send the right person soon. Cause who wants to wait that long to do it? I see the pattern with women who chose to wait to lose their virginity. They end up getting married in their late 30's. That seriously cannot happen to me. I'm only human and there's only so much I can take. Smh I love God and everything but he makes it so difficult. And there's no guarantee that I'll get married either. What If i never find the right person?? AHHH. This is so stressful.
They just HAD to go to Tamera first smh
lmaoo
i actually get so sad when Tamera cries, she's such a loving person so i hate seeing her being sad...
I am with tamera all the way. I waited to have sex till I got married. I was 28 and I dont regret it at all because i love my husband very much. You are an inspiration tamera.
Tamera is such the most beautiful and sweetest person I've ever layed eyes on. #TEAMTAMTAM
thank you so much for this , you don't know how much it helped me
''oh we going deep'' LMAOOOOOOOOO I KNOW IT WASNT INTENTIONAL BUT YOOOOOOO
Adrienne is right, tam has a heart of gold ❤️
Can I tell you staying a Virgin doesn't make you more pure than someone who is isn't one. To prove this tamera is more pure than some people who are virgins because purity is about the mind than the body I tell you that. I'm not saying to condemn but to remind myself and others that don't beat urself up if u aren't a virgin it's really about your mind and for the virgins out there , remember it's about the mind don't let your mind become perverted with it
Your body is a temple, purity is both mind and body.
I think that's amazing that the only person she given it to has been to Adam. I love that.
18 years old and going strong. All my friends have lost theirs and I want to keep my promise to god.
Adrienne's earlobes are about to FALL OFF!
Tamera is the cutest, sweetest person on television oh my fucking God. She's soooooooo kind and you can tell she has a great heart it just makes me cry seeing her cry.
Why did her husband take her virginity? Didn't marry her but took her virginity? They were together for 5 years! Her husband a jerk for that. She should be mad at him not herself
Tamera really inspires me to try harder to live according to the Christian principles.
I love Tamera's heart. She has always inspired me. Keep being a light, dear!
Did anyone hear someone mutter “it’s not that deep” after Jeanie said that was a really deep question or am I hearing things
I think in just about all of the real episodes Tamera is always crying and that's really cute
I'm a virgin and I'm not waiting for marriage but I want a committed loving relationship with someone who is a strong independent God fearing loving man . Honestly if I had listened to every sweet word a guy said to me I would be in a worse position I am today now. I'm 21 now and nothing has happened but we will see.
If it is a God fearing man you are looking for, he will honor you and God by taking your virginity on your wedding night.
I really mean this in a nice way but if you want a God fearing man he may not want to have sex with you before you are married if those are his religious beliefs.
no I agree with both of you . I think I'm the one who needs to be God fearing . the guy I'm talking to now although he has had sex but this was over 4 years ago he's now celibate until marriage. he's so sweet a charming goes to church plus he leads the children bible study. has invited me as well. he even alternates and goes church with his parents one week which over 2 hours drive and his church the other week so hes very famoly orientated. I stopped properly talking to him only because although the I've prayed asking for this kind of guy I don't feel like I deserve him. I need to sort myself out first .
Shan Parke I think that guys so alot of AMAZING qualities that you dont want to miss out on. That being said you have to want a relationship with jesus for yourself, no one else can do it for you. When you are ready to accept Gods salvation and love you will realise that he or someone like that is soemone you deserve because you are a child of a king and God loves to Lavish blessings on us.
29 is a long time. Tamera is such an inspiration! Honestly. She inspires me on my journey
Aw Tamera really has a pure heart. You know you can see she has a relationship with God and it's actually deep if it affected her that much. God has forgiven you Tamera and He has blessed you so much! I'm glad she knows that :)
Tamera exudes the purest of warmth. Just a great human being.
Just listening to Tamera talking on the REAL, I have grown to have huge respect for her. And being honest about something so close to her just makes me respect her more!
I noticed that Adrienne lost so much weight, she is fit
Probably for her new cheating ass bf though
abusive?
+CeCe Goddess (Une_Unique_Belle_Fille) You dumb ass hater .
annie parker I love Adrienne with all my heart been there since the Cheetah Girl days and never left have all her songs on my SoundCloud and everything but the man that she's with is know for cheating I meant to put infidelity of a boyfriend not abusive that's my fault I was actually watching a Rihanna music video so I guess I got the two fucked up
She's super short, so it's probably not that much weight that was lost. Even 10 pounds can make a big difference in how she looks.
I love Tamera and how honest she is !!
jeannie's shoulder concealer tho
Lol ikr! Covering up all her lady bugs
