  • When I decided to quit dating for a year, I had no expectations that one of my friends would eventually become my boyfriend. Dealing with breakups was really difficult, and I wanted to make sure my next relationship was healthy and safe.
    This is a storytime video of how I met my boyfriend!
    A common question I get asked is "how we met" and "how to know if he's the one"
    I hope you enjoy this storytime video featuring my boyfriend :)
    Let's show him a nice welcome!

    Today's society underestimates the importance of religion and core values in relationships. I applaud you for putting God first! 💖🙏I can tell that both of you are so thoughtful of one another.

    I'm married, and I agree 100% with everything you said. Definitely the most important core value is shared faith in God. ✝️

    Very sweet! But I think there’s a lesson here: If you like someone, act on it! Maya’s bf sat on his feelings for a year and came close to losing her. Woulda been a shame if Maya found someone else in that time.

    Communication is key. I was single since 2015. So my current boyfriend and I are relatively new, despite having been friends since high school. We're different. I'm into yoga, mindfulness and meditation. He is less interested. He's into computers, technology and UA-camrs who cover a bunch of games I've never heard of. I believe in a universal God, he is agnostic. But we want the same things in life: marriage, children, and we have similar morals. We're very compatible when it comes to what we feel is right or wrong and dealing with the gray. We respect each other. We work to communicate instead of proving one of us is right and one is wrong. We try each other's interests: he is willing to try yoga, I'm trying Dungeons and Dragons. Behind everything we have is honest and kind communication. 💕

    I’m not in a relationship or dating anyway but I appreciate this video so much. I learned a lot on how to be mindful and put God first in everything. Plus, I like how you both gave opportunity for the other one to speak and did not cut each other while the other one is talking cause most relationship videos on youtube have the other speaks more than the other partner and I feel like it shows how the relationship really is behind camera (even though that’s not true tho but it could be) you both have balance and I like the way you both shares stories and experiences.🥰

    I definitely agree about this right relationship. I also want to add that you would know that something is wrong in the relationship based from what your spiritual leaders also say. My friends opinion can be right, but I also consider what my youth pastor/ pastor/ parents would tell me about the person I am with. This is such a great insight and I am glad my husband and I both waited and have had Christ as the center of our relationship 💕 What a wonderful testimony you guys!

      During that season it was definitely hard because it’s easy to think “will I be single forever at this point?” 😂 I really felt like that! But it’s important to remember that singleness is a gift, as well. So I prayed that I would continue to grow to be the person God wants me to and I prayed for someone with my non-negotiables (must love God, must love serving others)
