    “Someone without direction, cannot lead someone else !” That line was POWERFUL !!!!!!!!

    Wooow “Your marriage can’t heal your lack of direction” that’s a very powerful message. You can’t take these kind of conversations for granted and I am happy to have found this podcast.

    One of my favorite lines from the pastor "Someone else's experiences are not your Bible" whew! And how others can affect your relationship 😩

    1. Who breaks the tie?
    2. Are you compatible with my purpose?
    3. Can we talk finance?
    4. What’s the vision for our marriage?
    5. Do we agree?

    You heard him say we can do it again! We need a part 2 & 3!! Exceptional conversation about what’s it’s really like to be in a union, outside of the frivolous things that are amplified to our generation today on social media!

    “Men who are not locked 🔒 into a vision for their lives end up hurting their mates” big facts i’ve always felt like as a man I should have something going and have a very solid understanding of who I am before I bring a woman into the mix. This was further confirmation. Great gems dropped in this episode.

    1. Compatible with my purpose lifelong
    2. Who breaks the tie

    Bruh I'm like five minutes in to this podcast and bro already blew me away! Going through a divorce and this is so on point. My ex and I are still great friends, but my purpose didn't meet our compatibility, but I never knew. Wow so real.

    As soon as P Ray said to “open up the books” I thought “okay well if you aren’t ready to hand over your phone and give them everything in it, you surely not ready to do it with your home/marriage/life”

    I’ve been to many marriage seminars, counseling sessions, meetings. I would say this is by far the best conversation on marriage I’ve experience. I need to follow this man on social platforms because God passed this man some keys. I’m trying to get some doors open

    1:02:20 - when Omar said “C’mon” three times in a row when pastor was talking I cackled 😂😂😂😂 but it’s soooooo true, commitment and discipline is doing things even while frustrated or not in a happy space. The mission is what pushes us through! Great episode, I literally sent this to all my friends in relationships 😂

    There is ALOT of content on a healthy marriage and relationships out there. Books, podcasts and videos from therapists and everyday people who lived it. Of course vet your sources, but there is still alot of reliable content out there. Especially now. It may not use the exact phrase "marriage literacy," but seek and you will definitely find. But this was a GREAT discussion!

  • @jkinese3841
    @jkinese3841 Рік тому +4

    Ahhhh! It was so good! I didn’t want to listen to this at first, because as a single person no where near marriage, I didn’t know how relevant it would be. But wow, so many takeaways. ”If you don’t have the next chapter, you stay in the current chapter.” …in fear…blew my mind. Figuring out the tie breakers up front, what a great strategy for compromise. Recognizing and acknowledging each others strengths up front before pride is in the way. 😅 The breadwinner giving their stay home spouse a separate allowance account to respect the sacrifice and not dehumanize them, beautiful solution. One can only hope that their partner would be as introspective as you all and surrounded by men like this that can share such wisdom. The way you all self improve, the way you all love your women. I want my community and crew to look like you all! Maybe when I make it back to LA I will connect with you all and your beautiful women. You all are truly a community of inspiration! Oh, and I shared this!

    As one who has experienced every single thing Ray mentioned, it was beautiful to see the The Bruthas in awe of the "Experiences of Marriage & Divorce" that end up being textbook formulas that are not normally taught to us before marriage. #️⃣SubmitToEachOtherIsTheGospel🏆
    Like Ray, I can easily spot a current pending divorce, ppl who are rushing erroneously (bio-clock or not), & unyielding traditionalists heading toward inevitable divorces (before they even get married.) Made & was exposed to all of those mistakes society erroneously trains us to make.
    ALL of these cliche constructs are a moot point if your partner & you are not in full mutual alignment & have no clue who they are separately. Sleeping around while single does not help one figure themselves out. Finding your purpose 1st & healing from family traumas does.🎯
