The WORK that these two have done to heal themselves and their marriage shines through their conversation, posture, connection, laughter and more. They are a walking testimony that things can be turned around for the better.
This episode really shows how much money cannot buy you love. A lot of us are looking for the husband that she had before.. A lot of us are sitting right now thinking.. well dang if I had a man to do those things I wouldn’t complain BUT she is sitting here letting us know that it’s not money or providing that makes a good husband… Nothing but GOD can make him good for his wife ❤
It is really about how they love. In the 5 love languages, her primary love language is quality time. His love language is gifts. Her love tank was empty, because he kept giving her stuff (money and cars) and she wanted him to get to know her. Spend time with her and he seemed to travel alot. There was a neglect of her love language. She wasn't fulfilled in her marriage. And she was exhausted. I hope they are working on how she needs to be loved.
I agree. They both need to make changes. I wanted a provider for my children. I didn't want a car. She was a blessed wife. She needed more. I understand. The husband just needed a wake up call to do different for her according to her love language
I am believing God for the restoration of my marriage with my wife Jasmine and I. This podcast gave me hope to fight hell and keep believing God. It has been prophesied that our restoration testimony would help heal other marriages and that ultimately souls would be saved. Please keep us lifted in prayer!
I will pray for you and God's will on your marriage. Much credit for making the post asking for support. That is a huge step in the right direction.... blessings 🙏🏾
That David Burruss interview is a gem. I definitely think it should be a reference tool in marriages. Side Note: Thank you Laterras for controlling the interview. :) Edited to add, I meant by helping the man to speak up more.
1:42:55 I love that she said this. Something I learned from my Dad after my divorce. He asked me in the form of a question but I realized later it was his way of sharing wisdom…he asked me “What if marriage wasn’t so much about making you happy but about making you holy?” I didn’t have an answer. Now I know he didn’t mean holy in terms of perfection or even righteousness. But holy in terms of the likeness of God. “Be ye holy for I am holy” In marriage we have so many opportunities to learn what it means to love, sacrifice, and forgive. These characteristics make us more like Christ every time we get to express them. Hence making us more like our Heavenly Father…holy.
I’ve listened to this 4 times. Soooo much resonates with me. I sent it to my husband and this is probably the first time he’s listened to any of these podcasts I’ve sent. Laterras…you are operating in your purpose!!! Your experiences were not in vain! They were for us ❤
@@christinaw.4626 This couple reminds me so much of my husband and I ...met at 15....married at 18....hit a rough patch but worked through it...laughed and loved our way through 45 years of marriage. Listening to them is like a review of my life. My husband is deceased....but his love remains in my heart.
Listen the transparency in this episode is priceless. Everything she experienced I experienced in my marriage. My husband put music before me and our family and I made the decision to divorce. I made the decision, which was so hard because I didn’t really want to, because he did not think counseling was necessary and I saw how he would bend/change for everyone but me. I so appreciate this conversation. It healed something in me today and confirmed my choice.
It is beautiful to witness what God is doing through this podcast. "Fight hell for your marriage." Indeed. Rahsaan and Erica are showing us what it takes to get to that 40 year wedding anniversary: weather the storm, keeping Jesus at the center and DO THE WORK TO HEAL. May the Lord continue to bless their union and use their testimony to help other couples who are on the verge of giving up.🙏🏾
It's crazy because after hearing this, a lot of women would still say he was a wonderful husband! We get so used to material things, and as long as we're being "kept" and he's not cheating, it's OK. This pleases me that she didn't ignore that she NEEDED more. It's also a blessing that his eyes were open to what she truly needed.
And he’s not a good husband. So when I go back because they have children together, so I’m just don’t wanna be alone. And he may have change, but I don’t think so And I say that, because so many women forgive me and for cheating, but men really don’t forget women cheating And what she’s saying is true women are being taught if he halfway work I have a treat you nice marry him Because it’s 10 women to one man Bad, if I’ve been handed down from generation
Yes! This is proof that no case is too far gone if its Gods will. God can change a willing man's heart, a willing woman's heart. God has and is working on his heart, her heart. They are both being healed. Great testimony!
God restores. It was an honor to listen to their story. The part with their daughter really touched me. It is not over until God says so. The fact that they can laugh about their trials proves that God restores.
I’m watching this podcast while waiting for a court date for my divorce from 13yrs of marriage and her last words broke me. The video itself brought clarity to me and what I need to do. Thank u so much you may b saving my marriage too❤
U can still fight thru prayer. God will honor them. I can still hear the Holy Spirit telling me to fight. It was like I was in a boxing ring with the devil. Took many blows but won the battle. If you want it Fight for it. God bless your union and give you a testimony for new wives.
One thing I love about Wednesdays is the notification that a Dfw episode has been uploaded....Thank you Laterass, for your obedience to God.Lots of love from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪
Great to find a fellow Kenyan learning here,this channel is indeed gold gems always,I wish many would create the time to watch this and learn. Kudos to Laterass
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. ❤ These married couples really shed light on what to work on in my single season. Also not to idolize marriage because it’s only a higher level of warfare. We have to be equipped and positioned
AMEN.....divorced 11 years been feeling something about that, then found this podcast last 2 months or so. Reevaluating my single hood status and appreciate it differently. Marriage will come again and I wanna be fully in when it does 💗
I enjoy each and every video. They are so enlightening and helpful to me. I been divorced for almost a year now and each video has helped me heal & grow from the hurt and betrayal of my marriage. I used to say I didn’t want to remarry but because of your podcast I desire to be married again. Thank you for being transparent and open on every show. Keep being intentional so we can grow and heal.
Hold on to god's unchanging Hand H e a l you're Intervert hurt Inside of you first get off get all that old baggage out forgiveness Free you as a person it is? Not. For the other person? It. Is? For you forgive immediately and immediately is now. God will reveal when you are truly Healed from your Pass Hurt Be a whole person and yourself 1st and and you will attract whole again. You will not attract brokenness when you are Whole In yourself. And you will elevate through God's promise. The goodness of God And and your Desires Read the will answer your prayer and if you need to go to counseling for me there's nothing wrong with that.
Alfreada. I've been divorced twice. They both betrayed me, and I know your pain but I too am believing God for another husband. Have faith, pray and believe God will do it for me and for you! With God all things are possible! Pray to God for guidance and over every person you meet
I love the way her husband is tuned into her and what she’s saying. It’s like he never took his eyes 👀 off of her. For me that is so important when we actually just stop and listen to what our mates are saying. My EX would never give me this much attention. Whenever I would speak he would literally looked up at the ceiling as if he couldn’t wait until I was quiet. 😐 Thank God I’ve moved on and so much happier now! 😊
I pray right now for any marriage that is struggling. I pray for your communication, intimacy, empathy, connection, and concern for each other. Be blessed and keep growing.
She hit so many key 🔑 points. I hate that the only tool we use to try to get our partner to see or hear us is through another man. Because 9 times out of 10 we don't want to cheat. We are good with just our current partner and just want to be seen and heard
This sounds like my husband whom I currently divorcing. What I’ve learned if they don’t fight for you they don’t need you. It’s a blessing to see God work miracles. May God continue to bless your union.
After 13 years, my husband walked away like I was nothing so I agree that if he didn’t fight then we had nothing from the beginning which is a hard pill to swallow.
I'm not married, yet. But me and my little boo been going through it and after getting rebaptize this week, I've been asking God what should I do for the course of our relationship? And God said, give him to me. And then Erika sit here and says "give him to me." Leterras you are TRULY fulfilling your purpose and I hope each and every time you here someone praise for this podcast ANOTHER blessing is added to your life. I feel so much peace ,although I want my way, giving it to God because like her seasoned client said God never lies. I truly think he is the man for me but first he must be the man for God and him before me and with this episode confirming it my pain this week now is peace. God we THANK YOU
What I found absolutely special and God ordained about this entire thing is that at the Newbirth podcast event, people were lined up for questions and Laterras was trying to cut the event bc they were over the time limit and when he said "we're going to stop at- the last person will be" a lady interrupted him and called out who she thought he should stop at and he said "No. We're going to stop at the lady in the green." Which was this couple right here... So unless he had someone/producer/church worker directing him where to stop at- then that moment was really God ordained.
This was truly a DIVINE APPOINTMENT to have this couple on the show! They have a powerful testimony! I have been truly blessed. "Fight HELL for your marriage!"
This show was awesome! I enjoyed the original show they showed up on and asked to be in this show. I love this podcast!!! I knew they were Bmore all day! I lived in bmore for 7 years going to school. I'm from the DMV ( MD) and heard it clearly.
Okay, what I hear from this man of God...he had a WILLINGNESS to change and she was WILLING to obey God. That combination is unstoppable. God bless them. Lovely testimony.❤
Thank you, Erica, for confirming for me that it's okay to stand still and wait silently for God to speak to my Husband, and that I need to trust that God will give him the message! Being silent doesn't always mean that I'm being silenced! Thank you, Laterras!
I love when you have raw couples without anything to sell. Marriage is a spiritual battle. The devil is constantly looking for cracks in your marriage and will send you what you think you want. The story about the devil sending that man was very important for those struggling in their marriages. One of my closest friends is divorced because the devil saw a crack and sent someone to fill that crack.
This was really good to hear their transparency. I wish we could've heard from the husband more. They seem to be truly healed. I pray God covers and keeps their family together. 🙏🏾
This is why I share your videos with so many people. I keep telling them this podcast is different from the others. People need your content. There’s a level of honesty we never even seen on talk shows growing up. This is all real. Thank you for all that you do!
This was great! Need a part 2 to hear... 1. What was revealed in her individual counseling? 2. What was revealed in their couples counseling? 3. What is the "real" story of how they met?
A moment of silence for "God is fashioning his ear to hear Him." So many powerful nuggets were shared during this podcast. May God bless both of you, your marriage, and this platform! ❤
The other woman that thinks she can speak loosely about you because she had your man for a fleeting moment has nothing on you dear Erica. She speaks from a place of hurt, rejection and on top of all that ignorance. Don’t let her get to you. You spoke with wisdom. If she truly were the best ( in her own eyes mind you) she won’t be in an extra marital relationship, and number two she won’t feel the need to belittle the woman whose husband returned to her. That shows it was just a mere fling ! Hold your head up really high and know that you are called to be great in the Lord whom you serve. The bumps in the road don’t change that.
We see you Queen! Thank you for demonstrating love, patience, obedience, and realness. King, we see you too! Your humility, leadership, softness of heart and accountability is celebrated. May God continue to heal you both and complete the good work He has started ❤
Solid gold. When I saw the emotion Rahsaan displayed when his wife talked about DFW saving their marriage during the anniversary taping, I couldn't wait for you to fulfill your promise to have them on the podcast. And the timing is God-ordained! Erica is a great storyteller and puts into words what many wives have been trying to communicate within their own marriage. Rahsaan's awareness and ability to put things into not only context and perspective but also retrospect in an effort to move forward left me wanting to hear more from him. Laterras, you controlled the interview like a professional on national TV. You challenged the guests to unpack statements that would've otherwise been blanket and knew when to not let some recaps take over the conversation! I enjoyed this episode tremendously!
I'm sorry y'all, I just have to interrupt this wonderful interview to say that the man who walked up to this beautiful woman was the devil. He knows our desires and exactly who, what and when to tempt us with. Okay, back to the interview.
I read a book that says people should be able to meet 75% of their own needs, and rely on a partner only for the other 25%. We can not expect anybody else to supply all our needs, gotta find it from within.
Man oh man!!! I'm so glad they had the courage to ask to be on the show. This is an example of RESILIENT and COMMITTED love. DFW you've done it again. ❤❤❤
I just want to thank Mrs. Erica Grier for her words. Sometimes it is hard to express these feelings and it helps to hear the words you need from someone else. I am an ocean
Now the thing about this is...when is my turn? When my husband and I hit 17 years we divorced. I did not know how to fight for my marriage, I just knew what I said, not being number 2. With that, we were divorced for nearly 9 years and on that 10th year we remarried. We have been back together 2 years now and I must say, I started listening to this podcast and changed my way of thinking. This is due to my Servant Leader (@MrsVlive) and her anointed assignment to teach! We happily celebrate 32 years considering we have always remained friends.
I appreciate this podcast so much in my season of singleness. There is value in every story, especially pertaining to marriages I can glean from. I’m thankful for the examples and transparency from every person. Keep doing the Lord’s work!
This episode was powerful 💯🔥🔥🔥💯 . The work that they put in is incredible. I remember how I felt hit me "out the blue" with I want a divorce. And she was done done. Looking back I began to see all the signs I had missed long before that. When the Lord blesses me with my future wife I won't make that mistake again! That nugget about men learning to be fathers but not husband's Wasson deep. Men we need to band together reach out more, share more. I pray we all do better. Another banger Bro!
This episode was great, the thing that blessed me the most was her husband had an opportunity to speak his truth he was also very accountable to his part in the downfall of the marriage, and what I like best is he took the steps to be better, a lot of😢 men won’t do the work. everything she said was something I to experienced in my marriage however I was definitely gone and it ended in divorce, I’m learning so much about myself now and honestly the divorce was the best thing for me. I know the next marriage will be the last, but right now I’m going to heal and enjoy my single season. I’m enjoying my peace.
Wow! We are truly overcome by the word of our testimony. Father, we are thankful for healing and Your overflow of love over this family and by extension over other families currently struggling but still have the Fight in them, and with Your help and the Blood of the Lamb, They will overcome, Amen. Well done Laterras 👏 Father, thank you for Your word. I am worth the wait, You are worth the wait.
When she said “trust what God told you and let Him tell your husband what he needs to hear. It doesn’t have to come from you all the time.” My nose started tingling and my eyes started watering. I needed to hear this! Thank you Beautiful Godly Couple!!!
I love when she is speaking how the husband's eyes are on her and allowing her to speak. I can feel the love through their voices. God bless them and God bless this show
Lemme tell you: first of all, shout out to my classmates!!! I love that y’all are so willing to be transparent. People think when y’all look that good and you’ve been married that long and have succeeded in the way most people equate success that everything is always good. Y’all have wisdom to give whether you’re married or single and this isn’t the first time I’ve been blessed by it. Also, I was gonna say my favorite thing is that after so many years of them no longer residing in our city, they STILL sound like they’re home. Baltimore standup!!! 😂 Baltimore is NOT Maryland nor is it the DMV. We’re something else.
This episode was so good, I thank this couple for their transparency . This podcast is life changing 🙌🏾👏🏾. During this episode when Latteras said most Men don’t get a chance to see the role model of a husband, I felt this in my soul…this discussion was so necessary and I thank God for this podcast is not only healing hearts but also teaching us all especially our men 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾. Thank you God for Laterras’ journey and obedience in listening to you and following your lead 🙏🏾❤️
Omgee!! They are the couple from the Dear Future Wifey in ATL!! How awesome ❤. I honor you for keeping your word and doing EXACTLY what you said you’re going to do. Top- Tier FUTURE Hubby behavior, still praying your MRS comes 🙏🏾
When she talked about wanting to be known and loved deeper, it reminded me of an excerpt from a book I read; hope she sees it and it resonates with her!: "I be a woman with a woman's feelings. Freddy showed me the way, but it was me who did the feeling, me who allowed passion to claim my body like drowning; something I never admitted before. I was born for loving...I was meant for loving and Freddy never enjoyed all I had to give...Freddy was the man to make my love blossom, but he just never had the time. Instead of feeling sorry, I felt peaceful like I finally knew who I be. Freddy sacrificed more than he knew. Freddy, who knew so much...didn't know me...didn't know *I be an ocean*." - Anna, from "Douglass' Women", by Jewell Parker Rhodes.
@@JustBE_U I hear you, beautiful. What if you invited him out to a steak dinner and brought one of those new card games that are intimacy questions that you answered back and forth? You can enjoy some wine and steak and desert and spend the time answering them. It only gives him a chance to see more of you but you to see more of him so he'll feel like he's involved! 🤍
@@SkegeeAce Thank you for replying beautiful. I guess I can try again. I bought that derric jaxn game. and we briefly answered questions from it. He’s really a workaholic. Which leads me to believe at this point that is his focus because he doesn’t really know how to explore a woman for interest in her being. Her soul..the depth of creation… He’s so transfixed in pursuit of financial security. But I feel lonely and that I am not a priority. Why isn’t there a balance I wonder. You know people say, that ppl do what they want to do. ..😔
@@JustBE_U You know, in his mind he probably thinks he's doing what's best for you both! I hope you to get a chance to bond and really explore how to meet each other's needs and he really gets a chance to see you, really see you! God bless you, sis!
"It's okay to just stand and be silent and sometimes just wait so that God can give him what it is that he needs to hear. It doesn't have to come from you all of the time. Just work on you and trust in the Lord." Now that was a WORD!! When I heard Erica say that part at the end, I started to cry because God has been dealing with me about that in my own marriage. That's the part that is so hard to do. It's hard to not continuously try to express what I am feeling because I feel like my husband just doesn't understand. So I bring it up again and again because I think that maybe I didn't explain myself too well the first time. I'm learning to just be quiet and let God deal with my husband in His way and in His time. I have to focus on how I can be better and pray to not respond so quickly every time I disagree with things. So I trust God, and will continue to trust Him always. This couple's testimony is so beautiful, and I know that this video did not reach my feed by mistake. It was put here for my learning. Thank God for this video and for this beautiful testimony. I GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD!!!
Phew🥺🥺hits home. We are celebrating our 5th year and we actually separated on and off for a year. Been together 13 and God got into our business, hear me. I have a new found love and respect for my husband. Ty again for this reminder
Each time I watch I get a fresh deposit toward my healing and preparation for my future husband. All God’s best to this couple. I love how God removed the scales and this man was able to see and hear things deeper and more clearly. ( his wife, the Word, and even the movie Fire Proof) God spoke to both of them and I am so glad they are sharing the testimony!! Thank you for being obedient and developing this podcast, multiplied blessings on you my brother ❤
When God has anointed you, even the enemy’s words are turned into blessings. She called you a “trophy wife” not knowing that was a WORD. I pray that God will bless your book and marriage. May this testimony save marriages throughout the earth.
Yes she speaks the truth we keep hanging on hoping one day he will become better. Always putting our feelings aside and making up excuses for our husbands' bad behavior. She talks about what us as women go through on a daily basis in our marriage.
I truly love this episode, it was a testament to the grace and endurance of love. It’s so easy to walk away and forget that marriage is a covenant not a convenience. The fact that there were so many different trials and yet they endure them all is exactly the meaning of loving one another as CHRIST loves us and gave HIS all for us. Regardless to how many times we fall short, CHRIST love endures. Thank you for being one of the few that didn’t throw in the towel and looked beyond the faults to a love that is reflective of its purpose. Your story will now encourage and inspire many others who was about to give up. Beautiful testimony!
This episode spoke loud and clear to me about letting go and letting God deal with and guide your husband. As I continue to heal from 19 years of marriage and 10 years being divorced; I realize that I am now learning and understanding why my husband reacted and responded the way he did. Although I only saw his faults and the way he didn't show up how I needed him to; I now see that their were things and behaviors and responses that I could have offered that would have changed that situation. I thank the Griers for being transparent and honest about their journey and healing that has taken place in their lives and their marriage. Thank you Laterras for this platform and the profound insights and wisdom that is shared with your viewers. The episodes have truly been a blessing to me.
This episode was so powerful!!! I can relate to Erica so much, I had a similar experience, but I am so happy that my husband and I went through that before we tied the knot. Listen when a woman's fed up!!! I tell you, only God can convince us to stay. Thank you for this! Greatly appreciated.
These two have been through it all, and not only survived to tell the story, but are thriving in their marriage. They are an example of forgiveness, agape love, obedience to God in marriage.
"It required me to be a woman speaking to a young woman!" Mic drop! Beautiful. i have two daughters and I love them from the moon and back! The love and connection you spoke about between you and your daughter... PRICELESS!
This episode resonated with me because I am in the exact same situation and we live in Baltimore. My marriage mirrors what went on in the Griers’ marriage. I am at the point of throwing in the towel. I am in prayer as to my next move …this episode hit home…LITERALLY
@Yolanda Gross I totally can relate. I listened to Judge Lynn and she said, her mom told her " you change" and when you change he won't have a choice but too change. Trust me when you are in the storm it's not easy to see help, to see better, hope but I assure you if there is love there is a chance. My focus is now changing me. When a woman loves hard we can get sick worrying no no no more. I purchased self care books to feed me. Keep you in a better place if your husband loves God he can come around either way you will be whole. Pray and Fast!!!
I came straight from watching the panel episode to find this one and it truly blessed me. Thank you so much for the platform and for the transparency! God continue to bless and keep y'all!
Exactly! Demonic rituals, secrecy & blood covenants that can cause the breakdown of marriage due to its secrecy! It’s not of God and needs to be broken! WOW! 😳
This episode really resonated with me. I experienced the same thing as Erica, however I lost me in the process. I had the house, the cars and the money but I didn't have the heart of my husband. After much prayer and counseling, I chose me! I divorced and never looked back! Thanks to the Griers and DFW!
It takes so much courage to get up here and tell your story !! In the back of my mind I’m like; “ooo ima reach out to tell my story too”. Lawdddd, the journey is wild 😭. I haven’t reached that level of confidence yet. I appreciate every guest !! Especially those who’ve had to confess their wrongs or struggle In integrity!! You have to be ready to face the mirror . Love y’all ❤️🔥
We can’t take a persons feelings for granted. My mother cheated which in turn cost her three bullets to the head. God wasn’t ready to take my mother at 74 she’s still here although unwilling to tell her story. This man took in my mother and her three bastard children, put a roof over our heads, took care of me & siblings as if we were biologically his own. My mom took him for granted, the end of this story my mom survived, he thought she was dead, after 3 bullets to the head, I thought too that she was gone, he shot himself once and he didn’t make it. Marriages are sacred Husbands & Wife’s are OFF limit
yes and unfortunately in today’s time there are alot of married individuals who potray/lie about being single and drag actual single individuals into their mess married people stay in your marriage!don’t step out
As a 28 single woman watching this podcast and learning from a couple speak about how they kept their marriage alive the awareness that they both exemplify here gives me hope. Especially as a millennial living in a world where dating is hard. I am thankful to see black people fighting for love and growing in the love that they already have. I pray for this couple to continue on their Journey with God May other couples do the same. And for people out there who haven't found their person yet may we learn from each other's vulnerability to be the best person for our future partner
Thank yall for sharing your testimony! This episode has really blessed me as a divorcee.. I have been divorced for almost two decades and find it very difficult to find a man who is worthy to be my husband which makes me wonder if I made the right choice to divorce my two husband's. We all have moved on but at times I wonder how it could have been had I fought for my marriages. Please keep loving and respecting one another!
I love this episode. One thing I want to offer is for Mr Grier, maybe the men's group your looking for is something God is wanting to use you for. Be the answer to what you don't see. God bless 🙏🏾
Another life changing podcast! This couple represents our Heavenly Father’s redemptive LOVE! May God continue to be glorified in Your covenant of marriage! Thanks Griers for sharing! Thanks Laterras for a powerful podcast! I receive peace.
"There's power in the partnership.." " We pursue happiness rather than holiness." Thanks Laterras, there were so many wonderful nuggets in this episode. May God bless this union. 🙏
Yessss Bmore! I'm both amazed and elated that their able to laugh after all they've been through. My heart is so full. I'm sooo happy they've been able to shake back, bc alot of relationships/marriages don't. This podcast was so needed. I appreciate their honesty, transparency and how they've both advocated for both men and women. I see them moving into couples therapy and I'll be their first client...as soon as I find my potential husband!😂😂 Good luck guys, I'm rooting for you and Erica I'm coming to get my hair did!! Peace and blessings to you both 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 ❤. Just went and purchased the book, can't wait to read.
This is a blessing to sooooooo many people especially couples. Marriage is much more than we ALL realize. I have been married 25.5 years. All the hills and valleys that we experience and our growth and developments is far more than we can imagine. Praise God that when we keep him in the center of our marriage and focus on the covenant with him the blessings will truly win. 🙏
I love fire proof. That movie gave me the courage to with wait On my husband,after he left at that time could of been 3 to 4 years to go back home to Nigeria. I commend Mr Grier for wanting to save his marriage and taking the steps to do so. I'm a wife and I'm learning from this podcast to prepare myself for my husband. Thank you Laterras for sharing your journey publicly. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Its helping a lot of people🥰
Wow!!!!!! This show was so goodddddddd!!!!!! All the way to the end at 1:58:49 The Peace Be still message 🙌🏾😭 Kingdom Royale, The Testimony of this couple… Powerful!
Divine assignment is correct. I admired their boldness to come forth and ask to be on your show. It was necessary! It is DIVINE! I went looking for their episode, not knowing their story - IT'S BEAUTIFUL, TRANSFROMATIONAL!!!!
Now I gotta go back and watch that David episode. I know their daughter is watching this back, and she’s very proud of her parents. Praise God for your podcast being a tool in their relationship belt. Laterras, honestly, I think this is a sign for you as well that there’s more here for you to do. I was at the Atlanta taping, and live shows are great, but I think you’re called to more. It sounds like a conference is coming, and that's all I have to say. Maybe a cruise or retreat can be set up so you can have both single and married couples there, and we can have somewhat of a vacation. Do it around the time of your book release so you can sell signed copies of your book.
This was one of my favorite interviews. This could have been three hours long and I would have been glued to the screen. What a beautiful couple and testimony. I'm definitely purchasing the book. ❤️
I really needed to see this. I feel like yall was all in my business. Thanks this is what I needed. I was in my bathroom about to cry and QUEEN I thank God for speaking through you for me to hear you. My thoughts in my head is to leave my marriage because my husband still don't hear me. This was truely deep. Thank you Thank you Thank you xoxoxo confirmation
It's a different journey a different choice for each of us. I love love & I believe in marriage. Above all... listen to God (not your heart... not your friends)... to God. For years God told me to stay... not to file.... then one day.....I asked & felt peace. I know Erica... she did a 21 day study around her book. She supported me in staying... but she also prayed with me in my choice to leave. Know that I am praying for your marriage... that God will hold the house together. I also will be praying that you hear Him clearly & know the choice that is His Will & gives you peace.
When anyone in a marriage has checked out emotionally, communication is blocked and no one can read minds. That's a sure setup for failure. Praise God that He is able to restore and make ALL things new. Thanks for sharing these amazing and much needed episodes on RELATIONSHIPS, Laterras! Human beings are complicated. 😢
The WORK that these two have done to heal themselves and their marriage shines through their conversation, posture, connection, laughter and more. They are a walking testimony that things can be turned around for the better.
Amen 🙏🏾
❤❤❤
Awesome❤
This episode really shows how much money cannot buy you love. A lot of us are looking for the husband that she had before.. A lot of us are sitting right now thinking.. well dang if I had a man to do those things I wouldn’t complain BUT she is sitting here letting us know that it’s not money or providing that makes a good husband… Nothing but GOD can make him good for his wife ❤
It is really about how they love. In the 5 love languages, her primary love language is quality time. His love language is gifts. Her love tank was empty, because he kept giving her stuff (money and cars) and she wanted him to get to know her. Spend time with her and he seemed to travel alot. There was a neglect of her love language. She wasn't fulfilled in her marriage. And she was exhausted. I hope they are working on how she needs to be loved.
Facts only God can mold and shape a husband to be the husband you need.
Come on!!
I agree. They both need to make changes. I wanted a provider for my children. I didn't want a car. She was a blessed wife. She needed more. I understand. The husband just needed a wake up call to do different for her according to her love language
Baltimore 😂
Shout to Erica’s friend for reminding her about Gods word 🔥🔥🔥 having a community in Christ 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾
Very very important. I'm glad to be that friend to my married friends even as a single.
Yes indeed
I am believing God for the restoration of my marriage with my wife Jasmine and I. This podcast gave me hope to fight hell and keep believing God. It has been prophesied that our restoration testimony would help heal other marriages and that ultimately souls would be saved. Please keep us lifted in prayer!
I'll be praying for you.
@@DearFutureWifey I appreciate you sir
We are praying with you!
I will pray for you and God's will on your marriage. Much credit for making the post asking for support. That is a huge step in the right direction.... blessings 🙏🏾
Love and prayers. I can't wait to hear your testimony👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
That David Burruss interview is a gem. I definitely think it should be a reference tool in marriages. Side Note: Thank you Laterras for controlling the interview. :) Edited to add, I meant by helping the man to speak up more.
Wholeheartedly agree!
I have to go back and listen
Can you include the link to that interview plz, I couldn't find it?
@jcwallace9519 S5 E513
Amen. To both parts.
1:42:55 I love that she said this.
Something I learned from my Dad after my divorce. He asked me in the form of a question but I realized later it was his way of sharing wisdom…he asked me “What if marriage wasn’t so much about making you happy but about making you holy?” I didn’t have an answer. Now I know he didn’t mean holy in terms of perfection or even righteousness. But holy in terms of the likeness of God. “Be ye holy for I am holy”
In marriage we have so many opportunities to learn what it means to love, sacrifice, and forgive. These characteristics make us more like Christ every time we get to express them. Hence making us more like our Heavenly Father…holy.
The fact that you kept your word on bringing them on the podcast. Yaaaasssssss 🙌
And quickly too 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@nikkyshamz2696 THAT PART!
And quickly is amazing
I love it when folks keep their word! 💯💥💫
Riiight!!?
I’ve listened to this 4 times. Soooo much resonates with me. I sent it to my husband and this is probably the first time he’s listened to any of these podcasts I’ve sent. Laterras…you are operating in your purpose!!! Your experiences were not in vain! They were for us ❤
Bless Abba!!!! May He multiply the return and reward. 🙏🏾
Hope your husband hears the messages and that y'all can mend whatever needs to be healed...these podcasts are such a BLESSING🙏🏾
@@christinaw.4626 This couple reminds me so much of my husband and I ...met at 15....married at 18....hit a rough patch but worked through it...laughed and loved our way through 45 years of marriage. Listening to them is like a review of my life. My husband is deceased....but his love remains in my heart.
The way Rahsaan is looking at Erica while she's speaking is everything..God is so great 🙏
He really does love her.
I'm so glad that they heard that podcast.
He loves her and proud of her
Listen the transparency in this episode is priceless. Everything she experienced I experienced in my marriage. My husband put music before me and our family and I made the decision to divorce. I made the decision, which was so hard because I didn’t really want to, because he did not think counseling was necessary and I saw how he would bend/change for everyone but me. I so appreciate this conversation. It healed something in me today and confirmed my choice.
It is beautiful to witness what God is doing through this podcast. "Fight hell for your marriage." Indeed. Rahsaan and Erica are showing us what it takes to get to that 40 year wedding anniversary: weather the storm, keeping Jesus at the center and DO THE WORK TO HEAL.
May the Lord continue to bless their union and use their testimony to help other couples who are on the verge of giving up.🙏🏾
It's crazy because after hearing this, a lot of women would still say he was a wonderful husband! We get so used to material things, and as long as we're being "kept" and he's not cheating, it's OK. This pleases me that she didn't ignore that she NEEDED more. It's also a blessing that his eyes were open to what she truly needed.
And he’s not a good husband. So when I go back because they have children together, so I’m just don’t wanna be alone.
And he may have change, but I don’t think so
And I say that, because so many women forgive me and for cheating, but men really don’t forget women cheating
And what she’s saying is true women are being taught if he halfway work I have a treat you nice marry him
Because it’s 10 women to one man
Bad, if I’ve been handed down from generation
His eyes weren't open until he thought he lost her to someone else. Don't give credit where it isn't due.
Yes! This is proof that no case is too far gone if its Gods will. God can change a willing man's heart, a willing woman's heart. God has and is working on his heart, her heart. They are both being healed. Great testimony!
God restores. It was an honor to listen to their story. The part with their daughter really touched me. It is not over until God says so. The fact that they can laugh about their trials proves that God restores.
"A woman marries the man she sees him becoming." WOW that was so powerful and real for me.
Ooooooooh....that was good AND SO SOS SO TRUE!!!!!!!!
This! Lord have mercy!
I’m watching this podcast while waiting for a court date for my divorce from 13yrs of marriage and her last words broke me. The video itself brought clarity to me and what I need to do. Thank u so much you may b saving my marriage too❤
U can still fight thru prayer. God will honor them. I can still hear the Holy Spirit telling me to fight. It was like I was in a boxing ring with the devil. Took many blows but won the battle. If you want it Fight for it. God bless your union and give you a testimony for new wives.
Are you back with your husband?
@@Queenn928 yes I am
How are you doing sis? Praying 🙏
@@blackbuttaflywashington9846Praise the Lord!! God is good!
One thing I love about Wednesdays is the notification that a Dfw episode has been uploaded....Thank you Laterass, for your obedience to God.Lots of love from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪
Great to find a fellow Kenyan learning here,this channel is indeed gold gems always,I wish many would create the time to watch this and learn.
Kudos to Laterass
Yes, meeting my fellow Kenyans on here. Yoh!!
Thanks Laterras as always! You handled this interview like a boss. We are blessed and better for it.
This is beautiful fellow Kenyans. How I wish many keep tagging along
Nice to see you guys 🇰🇪
Happy to be here as well. :)
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. ❤
These married couples really shed light on what to work on in my single season. Also not to idolize marriage because it’s only a higher level of warfare. We have to be equipped and positioned
PREACH Sis!!!
you said something powerful!
AMEN.....divorced 11 years been feeling something about that, then found this podcast last 2 months or so. Reevaluating my single hood status and appreciate it differently. Marriage will come again and I wanna be fully in when it does 💗
Amen sis!
I enjoy each and every video. They are so enlightening and helpful to me. I been divorced for almost a year now and each video has helped me heal & grow from the hurt and betrayal of my marriage. I used to say I didn’t want to remarry but because of your podcast I desire to be married again. Thank you for being transparent and open on every show. Keep being intentional so we can grow and heal.
Hold on to god's unchanging Hand H e a l you're Intervert hurt Inside of you first get off get all that old baggage out forgiveness Free you as a person it is? Not. For the other person? It. Is? For you forgive immediately and immediately is now. God will reveal when you are truly Healed from your Pass Hurt Be a whole person and yourself 1st and and you will attract whole again. You will not attract brokenness when you are Whole In yourself. And you will elevate through God's promise. The goodness of God And and your Desires Read the will answer your prayer and if you need to go to counseling for me there's nothing wrong with that.
Alfreada. I've been divorced twice. They both betrayed me, and I know your pain but I too am believing God for another husband. Have faith, pray and believe God will do it for me and for you! With God all things are possible! Pray to God for guidance and over every person you meet
I love the way her husband is tuned into her and what she’s saying. It’s like he never took his eyes 👀 off of her. For me that is so important when we actually just stop and listen to what our mates are saying. My EX would never give me this much attention. Whenever I would speak he would literally looked up at the ceiling as if he couldn’t wait until I was quiet. 😐 Thank God I’ve moved on and so much happier now! 😊
My partner overlooks a lot of what I say too. It is beginning to build resentment 😢
🙌🏿🖤💪🏿🙏🏿
@@maryelizabethogarrafleming2741 yep that’s exactly what happened with me. 😏
Good fi you 💯. God bless. Let Gods light shine thru you. Even when our earthly minds can't understand all; The Father knows all things.
I pray right now for any marriage that is struggling. I pray for your communication, intimacy, empathy, connection, and concern for each other. Be blessed and keep growing.
The point where her 74 yr old client spoke to her is everything!!❤
That was quick!😀 They asked, they’re there and this was AWESOME! Shout out to them for being transparent and sharing their testimony❤️❤️
She hit so many key 🔑 points. I hate that the only tool we use to try to get our partner to see or hear us is through another man. Because 9 times out of 10 we don't want to cheat. We are good with just our current partner and just want to be seen and heard
This sounds like my husband whom I currently divorcing. What I’ve learned if they don’t fight for you they don’t need you. It’s a blessing to see God work miracles. May God continue to bless your union.
I’m sorry to hear. I do agree both have to put in the work. Wish you all the best!!
@@MichelleNagir thank you
After 13 years, my husband walked away like I was nothing so I agree that if he didn’t fight then we had nothing from the beginning which is a hard pill to swallow.
I'm not married, yet. But me and my little boo been going through it and after getting rebaptize this week, I've been asking God what should I do for the course of our relationship? And God said, give him to me. And then Erika sit here and says "give him to me." Leterras you are TRULY fulfilling your purpose and I hope each and every time you here someone praise for this podcast ANOTHER blessing is added to your life. I feel so much peace ,although I want my way, giving it to God because like her seasoned client said God never lies. I truly think he is the man for me but first he must be the man for God and him before me and with this episode confirming it my pain this week now is peace. God we THANK YOU
What I found absolutely special and God ordained about this entire thing is that at the Newbirth podcast event, people were lined up for questions and Laterras was trying to cut the event bc they were over the time limit and when he said "we're going to stop at- the last person will be" a lady interrupted him and called out who she thought he should stop at and he said "No. We're going to stop at the lady in the green." Which was this couple right here... So unless he had someone/producer/church worker directing him where to stop at- then that moment was really God ordained.
Yesss… I saw that too… I was like look at God
EXACTLY!!!
This was truly a DIVINE APPOINTMENT to have this couple on the show! They have a powerful testimony! I have been truly blessed. "Fight HELL for your marriage!"
AMAZING EPISODE! I honor their transparency.
Sidenote - I know my people when I hear them. HEY BAWDAMORE!!! 🖤💜🖤
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Somewhere in the DMV 😂
@@brandonlovessports1866 lol I’m from Baltimore so my ear picked it up within seconds 😂
@@ameritrini mine too. I’ve got tons of friends from that area
@@brandonlovessports1866 Baltimore is technically not considered apart of the DMV, even though it is in MD.
This show was awesome!
I enjoyed the original show they showed up on and asked to be in this show.
I love this podcast!!!
I knew they were Bmore all day! I lived in bmore for 7 years going to school. I'm from the DMV ( MD) and heard it clearly.
They are the epitome of strength, forgiveness, learning, growing & agape love!
Okay, what I hear from this man of God...he had a WILLINGNESS to change and she was WILLING to obey God. That combination is unstoppable. God bless them. Lovely testimony.❤
Thank you, Erica, for confirming for me that it's okay to stand still and wait silently for God to speak to my Husband, and that I need to trust that God will give him the message! Being silent doesn't always mean that I'm being silenced! Thank you, Laterras!
THIS!! You are speaking a WORD right here! Say that! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love when you have raw couples without anything to sell. Marriage is a spiritual battle. The devil is constantly looking for cracks in your marriage and will send you what you think you want. The story about the devil sending that man was very important for those struggling in their marriages. One of my closest friends is divorced because the devil saw a crack and sent someone to fill that crack.

This was really good to hear their transparency. I wish we could've heard from the husband more. They seem to be truly healed. I pray God covers and keeps their family together. 🙏🏾
Wanted to hear from him more too
This is why I share your videos with so many people. I keep telling them this podcast is different from the others. People need your content. There’s a level of honesty we never even seen on talk shows growing up. This is all real. Thank you for all that you do!
This was great! Need a part 2 to hear...
1. What was revealed in her individual counseling?
2. What was revealed in their couples counseling?
3. What is the "real" story of how they met?
Wow, these episodes get better and better. Blessings to the Griers for their powerful testimony and story.
This testimony broke some barriers in my heart! Thank You God for these gifts to the body of Christ!
A moment of silence for "God is fashioning his ear to hear Him." So many powerful nuggets were shared during this podcast. May God bless both of you, your marriage, and this platform! ❤
🙏🏿
The other woman that thinks she can speak loosely about you because she had your man for a fleeting moment has nothing on you dear Erica. She speaks from a place of hurt, rejection and on top of all that ignorance. Don’t let her get to you. You spoke with wisdom. If she truly were the best ( in her own eyes mind you) she won’t be in an extra marital relationship, and number two she won’t feel the need to belittle the woman whose husband returned to her. That shows it was just a mere fling ! Hold your head up really high and know that you are called to be great in the Lord whom you serve. The bumps in the road don’t change that.
We see you Queen! Thank you for demonstrating love, patience, obedience, and realness. King, we see you too! Your humility, leadership, softness of heart and accountability is celebrated. May God continue to heal you both and complete the good work He has started ❤
Solid gold. When I saw the emotion Rahsaan displayed when his wife talked about DFW saving their marriage during the anniversary taping, I couldn't wait for you to fulfill your promise to have them on the podcast. And the timing is God-ordained! Erica is a great storyteller and puts into words what many wives have been trying to communicate within their own marriage. Rahsaan's awareness and ability to put things into not only context and perspective but also retrospect in an effort to move forward left me wanting to hear more from him. Laterras, you controlled the interview like a professional on national TV. You challenged the guests to unpack statements that would've otherwise been blanket and knew when to not let some recaps take over the conversation! I enjoyed this episode tremendously!
I'm sorry y'all, I just have to interrupt this wonderful interview to say that the man who walked up to this beautiful woman was the devil. He knows our desires and exactly who, what and when to tempt us with. Okay, back to the interview.
Exactly what I was thinking!! The devil will show up looking exactly like what you’re looking for 🤧
I read a book that says people should be able to meet 75% of their own needs, and rely on a partner only for the other 25%. We can not expect anybody else to supply all our needs, gotta find it from within.
Man oh man!!! I'm so glad they had the courage to ask to be on the show. This is an example of RESILIENT and COMMITTED love. DFW you've done it again. ❤❤❤
I just want to thank Mrs. Erica Grier for her words. Sometimes it is hard to express these feelings and it helps to hear the words you need from someone else. I am an ocean
Now the thing about this is...when is my turn? When my husband and I hit 17 years we divorced. I did not know how to fight for my marriage, I just knew what I said, not being number 2. With that, we were divorced for nearly 9 years and on that 10th year we remarried. We have been back together 2 years now and I must say, I started listening to this podcast and changed my way of thinking. This is due to my Servant Leader (@MrsVlive) and her anointed assignment to teach! We happily celebrate 32 years considering we have always remained friends.
You should contact him. I would love to hear your story.
I appreciate this podcast so much in my season of singleness. There is value in every story, especially pertaining to marriages I can glean from. I’m thankful for the examples and transparency from every person. Keep doing the Lord’s work!
This episode was powerful 💯🔥🔥🔥💯 . The work that they put in is incredible. I remember how I felt hit me "out the blue" with I want a divorce. And she was done done. Looking back I began to see all the signs I had missed long before that. When the Lord blesses me with my future wife I won't make that mistake again!
That nugget about men learning to be fathers but not husband's Wasson deep. Men we need to band together reach out more, share more. I pray we all do better. Another banger Bro!
They are from Maryland. I love this episode. I love their transparency. I’m glad they are working it out and are deciding to stay together.
I was like I hear that B-more accent🤣!
I heard that!
Dey from Baltimore!! (I love them! ❤️)
Yesss Baltimore City finest!!!
We love them down here
This episode was great, the thing that blessed me the most was her husband had an opportunity to speak his truth he was also very accountable to his part in the downfall of the marriage, and what I like best is he took the steps to be better, a lot of😢 men won’t do the work. everything she said was something I to experienced in my marriage however I was definitely gone and it ended in divorce, I’m learning so much about myself now and honestly the divorce was the best thing for me. I know the next marriage will be the last, but right now I’m going to heal and enjoy my single season. I’m enjoying my peace.
Shot out Rahsaan for reevaluating your wife and situation!!This is beautiful!
Wow! We are truly overcome by the word of our testimony. Father, we are thankful for healing and Your overflow of love over this family and by extension over other families currently struggling but still have the Fight in them, and with Your help and the Blood of the Lamb, They will overcome, Amen. Well done Laterras 👏
Father, thank you for Your word. I am worth the wait, You are worth the wait.
Oooh that "your podcast saved our marriage" gave me the shivers !!🎉🎉🎉👏🏾#welldone 🙌🏾
When she said “trust what God told you and let Him tell your husband what he needs to hear. It doesn’t have to come from you all the time.” My nose started tingling and my eyes started watering. I needed to hear this! Thank you Beautiful Godly Couple!!!
“We pursue happiness over holiness” whewwwww. That’s a whole word right there. God bless this couple and all the work they have done 🙏🏽❤️
I love when she is speaking how the husband's eyes are on her and allowing her to speak. I can feel the love through their voices. God bless them and God bless this show
Lemme tell you: first of all, shout out to my classmates!!! I love that y’all are so willing to be transparent. People think when y’all look that good and you’ve been married that long and have succeeded in the way most people equate success that everything is always good. Y’all have wisdom to give whether you’re married or single and this isn’t the first time I’ve been blessed by it.
Also, I was gonna say my favorite thing is that after so many years of them no longer residing in our city, they STILL sound like they’re home. Baltimore standup!!! 😂 Baltimore is NOT Maryland nor is it the DMV. We’re something else.
Lol
OMG-This story gets crazier and crazier! Thank God for restoring their marriage.
I'm excited you brought them on. I was waiting for this session.
This episode was so good, I thank this couple for their transparency . This podcast is life changing 🙌🏾👏🏾. During this episode when Latteras said most Men don’t get a chance to see the role model of a husband, I felt this in my soul…this discussion was so necessary and I thank God for this podcast is not only healing hearts but also teaching us all especially our men 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾. Thank you God for Laterras’ journey and obedience in listening to you and following your lead 🙏🏾❤️
Omgee!! They are the couple from the Dear Future Wifey in ATL!! How awesome ❤. I honor you for keeping your word and doing EXACTLY what you said you’re going to do. Top- Tier FUTURE Hubby behavior, still praying your MRS comes 🙏🏾
When she talked about wanting to be known and loved deeper, it reminded me of an excerpt from a book I read; hope she sees it and it resonates with her!:
"I be a woman with a woman's feelings. Freddy showed me the way, but it was me who did the feeling, me who allowed passion to claim my body like drowning; something I never admitted before. I was born for loving...I was meant for loving and Freddy never enjoyed all I had to give...Freddy was the man to make my love blossom, but he just never had the time. Instead of feeling sorry, I felt peaceful like I finally knew who I be. Freddy sacrificed more than he knew. Freddy, who knew so much...didn't know me...didn't know *I be an ocean*." - Anna, from "Douglass' Women", by Jewell Parker Rhodes.
❤
I am going through this right now... I want my man to drown in the depths of me... but he just doesn't seem to see me.
@@JustBE_U I hear you, beautiful. What if you invited him out to a steak dinner and brought one of those new card games that are intimacy questions that you answered back and forth? You can enjoy some wine and steak and desert and spend the time answering them. It only gives him a chance to see more of you but you to see more of him so he'll feel like he's involved! 🤍
@@SkegeeAce Thank you for replying beautiful.
I guess I can try again. I bought that derric jaxn game. and we briefly answered questions from it. He’s really a workaholic. Which leads me to believe at this point that is his focus because he doesn’t really know how to explore a woman for interest in her being. Her soul..the depth of creation…
He’s so transfixed in pursuit of financial security. But I feel lonely and that I am not a priority. Why isn’t there a balance I wonder. You know people say, that ppl do what they want to do.
..😔
@@JustBE_U You know, in his mind he probably thinks he's doing what's best for you both! I hope you to get a chance to bond and really explore how to meet each other's needs and he really gets a chance to see you, really see you! God bless you, sis!
"It's okay to just stand and be silent and sometimes just wait so that God can give him what it is that he needs to hear. It doesn't have to come from you all of the time. Just work on you and trust in the Lord."
Now that was a WORD!! When I heard Erica say that part at the end, I started to cry because God has been dealing with me about that in my own marriage. That's the part that is so hard to do. It's hard to not continuously try to express what I am feeling because I feel like my husband just doesn't understand. So I bring it up again and again because I think that maybe I didn't explain myself too well the first time. I'm learning to just be quiet and let God deal with my husband in His way and in His time. I have to focus on how I can be better and pray to not respond so quickly every time I disagree with things. So I trust God, and will continue to trust Him always. This couple's testimony is so beautiful, and I know that this video did not reach my feed by mistake. It was put here for my learning. Thank God for this video and for this beautiful testimony. I GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD!!!
That spoke to me as well. Profound
Phew🥺🥺hits home. We are celebrating our 5th year and we actually separated on and off for a year. Been together 13 and God got into our business, hear me. I have a new found love and respect for my husband. Ty again for this reminder
Each time I watch I get a fresh deposit toward my healing and preparation for my future husband. All God’s best to this couple. I love how God removed the scales and this man was able to see and hear things deeper and more clearly. ( his wife, the Word, and even the movie Fire Proof) God spoke to both of them and I am so glad they are sharing the testimony!! Thank you for being obedient and developing this podcast, multiplied blessings on you my brother ❤
This reminds me so much of the first 8 years of my marriage!! All of it!!!!!! Thank God for restoration!
When God has anointed you, even the enemy’s words are turned into blessings. She called you a “trophy wife” not knowing that was a WORD. I pray that God will bless your book and marriage. May this testimony save marriages throughout the earth.
Yes she speaks the truth we keep hanging on hoping one day he will become better. Always putting our feelings aside and making up excuses for our husbands' bad behavior. She talks about what us as women go through on a daily basis in our marriage.
This is a deep but much needed conversation. Thank you for being transparent and opening yourselves up to tell your story.
I totally agree with you.
The beauty of it all is God glorified at the end of the day🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I truly love this episode, it was a testament to the grace and endurance of love. It’s so easy to walk away and forget that marriage is a covenant not a convenience. The fact that there were so many different trials and yet they endure them all is exactly the meaning of loving one another as CHRIST loves us and gave HIS all for us. Regardless to how many times we fall short, CHRIST love endures. Thank you for being one of the few that didn’t throw in the towel and looked beyond the faults to a love that is reflective of its purpose. Your story will now encourage and inspire many others who was about to give up. Beautiful testimony!
This episode spoke loud and clear to me about letting go and letting God deal with and guide your husband. As I continue to heal from 19 years of marriage and 10 years being divorced; I realize that I am now learning and understanding why my husband reacted and responded the way he did. Although I only saw his faults and the way he didn't show up how I needed him to; I now see that their were things and behaviors and responses that I could have offered that would have changed that situation. I thank the Griers for being transparent and honest about their journey and healing that has taken place in their lives and their marriage. Thank you Laterras for this platform and the profound insights and wisdom that is shared with your viewers. The episodes have truly been a blessing to me.
Marriage is work and these two did the work. I wish for them continued blessings and overflow❤❤❤❤
This episode was so powerful!!! I can relate to Erica so much, I had a similar experience, but I am so happy that my husband and I went through that before we tied the knot. Listen when a woman's fed up!!! I tell you, only God can convince us to stay. Thank you for this! Greatly appreciated.
These two have been through it all, and not only survived to tell the story, but are thriving in their marriage. They are an example of forgiveness, agape love, obedience to God in marriage.
APPLAUSE APPLAUSE this was a GREAT episode! Thank you for speaking up at the special and thank you for having them on the show
"It required me to be a woman speaking to a young woman!" Mic drop! Beautiful. i have two daughters and I love them from the moon and back! The love and connection you spoke about between you and your daughter... PRICELESS!
This episode resonated with me because I am in the exact same situation and we live in Baltimore. My marriage mirrors what went on in the Griers’ marriage. I am at the point of throwing in the towel. I am in prayer as to my next move …this episode hit home…LITERALLY
Stand Still and fight hell for your marriage.
Is he in prayer as well or just you?
@@Ayommari I’m not sure. We are on such different pages.
@@trinimom7686 🙏🏾 I have no response. I am tired.
@Yolanda Gross I totally can relate. I listened to Judge Lynn and she said, her mom told her " you change" and when you change he won't have a choice but too change. Trust me when you are in the storm it's not easy to see help, to see better, hope but I assure you if there is love there is a chance. My focus is now changing me. When a woman loves hard we can get sick worrying no no no more. I purchased self care books to feed me. Keep you in a better place if your husband loves God he can come around either way you will be whole. Pray and Fast!!!
I came straight from watching the panel episode to find this one and it truly blessed me. Thank you so much for the platform and for the transparency! God continue to bless and keep y'all!
Thank you for blessing me with encouragement about my season of restoration. God indeed is an on time, FAITHFUL, and loving Father! 🙌🏿
She is so right!!! Men will choose themselves and gamble that they will find someone else
Interesting he’s in masonry.. rooted in rituals , covenants and secrecy.. not God.. thanks for sharing your story
Same for those in fraternities and sororities . Pledging to other Gods
Exactly! Demonic rituals, secrecy & blood covenants that can cause the breakdown of marriage due to its secrecy!
It’s not of God and needs to be broken! WOW! 😳
Please tell me you did recognize or atleast hear not just his flaws but her immediate vindictive flaws.
Aaaaaammmmeeeeeeennnnnnn
This episode really resonated with me. I experienced the same thing as Erica, however I lost me in the process. I had the house, the cars and the money but I didn't have the heart of my husband. After much prayer and counseling, I chose me! I divorced and never looked back! Thanks to the Griers and DFW!
"I don't know how Christ loved the church"
Powerful statement
It takes so much courage to get up here and tell your story !! In the back of my mind I’m like; “ooo ima reach out to tell my story too”. Lawdddd, the journey is wild 😭. I haven’t reached that level of confidence yet. I appreciate every guest !! Especially those who’ve had to confess their wrongs or struggle In integrity!! You have to be ready to face the mirror .
Love y’all ❤️🔥
We can’t take a persons feelings for granted. My mother cheated which in turn cost her three bullets to the head. God wasn’t ready to take my mother at 74 she’s still here although unwilling to tell her story. This man took in my mother and her three bastard children, put a roof over our heads, took care of me & siblings as if we were biologically his own. My mom took him for granted, the end of this story my mom survived, he thought she was dead, after 3 bullets to the head, I thought too that she was gone, he shot himself once and he didn’t make it. Marriages are sacred Husbands & Wife’s are OFF limit
MY GOD
Wow wow wow!!
My Lord‼️🗣️👏🏾🙏🏾
yes
and unfortunately in today’s time there are alot of married individuals who potray/lie about being single and drag actual single individuals into their mess
married people stay in your marriage!don’t step out
As a 28 single woman watching this podcast and learning from a couple speak about how they kept their marriage alive the awareness that they both exemplify here gives me hope. Especially as a millennial living in a world where dating is hard. I am thankful to see black people fighting for love and growing in the love that they already have.
I pray for this couple to continue on their Journey with God May other couples do the same. And for people out there who haven't found their person yet may we learn from each other's vulnerability to be the best person for our future partner
Thank yall for sharing your testimony! This episode has really blessed me as a divorcee.. I have been divorced for almost two decades and find it very difficult to find a man who is worthy to be my husband which makes me wonder if I made the right choice to divorce my two husband's. We all have moved on but at times I wonder how it could have been had I fought for my marriages. Please keep loving and respecting one another!
I love this episode. One thing I want to offer is for Mr Grier, maybe the men's group your looking for is something God is wanting to use you for. Be the answer to what you don't see. God bless 🙏🏾
Good point! I always say that
Another life changing podcast! This couple represents our Heavenly Father’s redemptive LOVE! May God continue to be glorified in Your covenant of marriage! Thanks Griers for sharing! Thanks Laterras for a powerful podcast! I receive peace.
"There's power in the partnership.." " We pursue happiness rather than holiness." Thanks Laterras, there were so many wonderful nuggets in this episode. May God bless this union. 🙏
Yessss Bmore! I'm both amazed and elated that their able to laugh after all they've been through. My heart is so full. I'm sooo happy they've been able to shake back, bc alot of relationships/marriages don't. This podcast was so needed. I appreciate their honesty, transparency and how they've both advocated for both men and women. I see them moving into couples therapy and I'll be their first client...as soon as I find my potential husband!😂😂 Good luck guys, I'm rooting for you and Erica I'm coming to get my hair did!! Peace and blessings to you both 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 ❤. Just went and purchased the book, can't wait to read.
This is a blessing to sooooooo many people especially couples. Marriage is much more than we ALL realize. I have been married 25.5 years. All the hills and valleys that we experience and our growth and developments is far more than we can imagine. Praise God that when we keep him in the center of our marriage and focus on the covenant with him the blessings will truly win. 🙏
I love fire proof. That movie gave me the courage to with wait On my husband,after he left at that time could of been 3 to 4 years to go back home to Nigeria. I commend Mr Grier for wanting to save his marriage and taking the steps to do so. I'm a wife and I'm learning from this podcast to prepare myself for my husband. Thank you Laterras for sharing your journey publicly. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Its helping a lot of people🥰
I admire people that stay together from the age 15.
Wow!!!!!! This show was so goodddddddd!!!!!! All the way to the end at 1:58:49 The Peace Be still message 🙌🏾😭 Kingdom Royale, The Testimony of this couple… Powerful!
Divine assignment is correct. I admired their boldness to come forth and ask to be on your show. It was necessary! It is DIVINE! I went looking for their episode, not knowing their story - IT'S BEAUTIFUL, TRANSFROMATIONAL!!!!
Now I gotta go back and watch that David episode. I know their daughter is watching this back, and she’s very proud of her parents. Praise God for your podcast being a tool in their relationship belt. Laterras, honestly, I think this is a sign for you as well that there’s more here for you to do. I was at the Atlanta taping, and live shows are great, but I think you’re called to more. It sounds like a conference is coming, and that's all I have to say. Maybe a cruise or retreat can be set up so you can have both single and married couples there, and we can have somewhat of a vacation. Do it around the time of your book release so you can sell signed copies of your book.
This was one of my favorite interviews. This could have been three hours long and I would have been glued to the screen. What a beautiful couple and testimony. I'm definitely purchasing the book. ❤️
I really needed to see this. I feel like yall was all in my business. Thanks this is what I needed. I was in my bathroom about to cry and QUEEN I thank God for speaking through you for me to hear you. My thoughts in my head is to leave my marriage because my husband still don't hear me. This was truely deep. Thank you Thank you Thank you xoxoxo confirmation
This was total transparency
It's a different journey a different choice for each of us. I love love & I believe in marriage.
Above all... listen to God (not your heart... not your friends)... to God.
For years God told me to stay... not to file.... then one day.....I asked & felt peace. I know Erica... she did a 21 day study around her book. She supported me in staying... but she also prayed with me in my choice to leave.
Know that I am praying for your marriage... that God will hold the house together. I also will be praying that you hear Him clearly & know the choice that is His Will & gives you peace.
When anyone in a marriage has checked out emotionally, communication is blocked and no one can read minds. That's a sure setup for failure. Praise God that He is able to restore and make ALL things new.
Thanks for sharing these amazing and much needed episodes on RELATIONSHIPS, Laterras! Human beings are complicated. 😢
