What an amazing couple! The way he looks at her at 16:49, that's the look of a man totally and completely in love with his woman. I love their purpose filled marriage. Just the way God intended it.
I'm 16 and I enjoy watching courtship videos... I use to be boy crazy before I found Christ. But now I know I have the power with in Him to wait for the one he has for me at the perfect time. Although it's really hard because I only knew this one guy in my youth group , finding out he goes to my school and is 17... It's just really hard because he seems like an awesome person and that maybe God put me at that church for a reason, but then I feel like it's not that way.. I always pray about this but this helps me for encouragement and to know that God's timing is perfect!!
its great that you are so young and letting God be in control. He will bless you. Im 18 and I feel the same way. I say pray for your future husband and be specific and ask God to create you into the woman he wants you to be, which by default will cause you to be the wife he wants you to be.
I can relate to this pray for me guys I have had a relationship on and off within 7 yrs with this woman I love but now that I'm pursuing God I'm learning how to love her correctly but her heart is hard because of my short comings prior to me knowing God. But I believe now that I know Jesus and i am following him I can lead her. I love her so much.
I really enjoy this couple, and love the way they speak in such a genuine way. Especially to see the beauty of her clinging to her husbands every word. So beautiful ♥
Wow. I'm not one for leaving comments and sharing thoughts about the endless videos I watch on UA-cam. This is a true ministry to all who watch your channel. What powerful wholesome channel that does truly empower. I pray that this channel goes viral and will reach the masses. God bless you and continue to spread the good news. Amen.
The fact that I’m actually in the season they were in years ago . I’m definitely learning what Yore had to learn balancing god and the man I love. God is teaching me so much already it has been hard but I believe it’s so worth it. I will not date the man I love until Jesus is my center.
Also I think what makeyas said about searching for happiness and other things in God allows you to not necessarily need a dependency on your significant other is so accurate and valuable. Love from England (kenyan)
Wow...what a blessed couple. This really inspired me because I just broke up with the love of my life because we aren't equally yoked. So together we decided to be obedient to the Lord and be apart. This gives me hope that if it is the will of the Lord we will reunite. Thank you for your story and thanks Ashley for doing this video.
Know them personally, Yore is Beautifullll. The most gorgeous women I have seen and heard speak. They are a powerful couple, was so blessed with their message. :')
I like how he said, it was really about a one way street and it makes sense. Because we should always seek to please the other from our hearts. And do it because we love God. This one was great!
Great video Ashley, watching this as an 18 year growing christian...it's great to have insight into these kind of things from an early age. As teens I think this is where we mostly start to shape "our" ideal person, but I think it's more important to shape Gods ideal in yourself, and all others will fall into place.
I just wanna share that lately I have been feeling convicted by God to draw closer to him and I wondered seriously about how my relationship was influencing that both negatively and positively. I have been praying and really seeking scriptures and guidance from the Holy Spirit on what his will is for me, especially as a young Christian adult. With that said I was sent the link to this video and I must say thank you for allowing God to use you all for his ministry. This couple is echoing my sentiments right now and it is encouraging to see a successful outcome where God is the focus totally. I am seriously appreciative especially because sometimes being a Christian and in a relationship it can be challenging and this is more of a sign that God is listening and concerned for me and He will lead me to the right choices in my life. Thank you again. Seriously. I'll pray for this ministry and it's blessings.
That running towards God with a partner to hold my hand analogy was perfect! Wow, you dont understand how that just cleared everything up for me. That is what every couple should be in pursuit of. God bless you for that.
I was so excited to see this.. I get happy every time I see a new episode posted for the dating with purpose series. You look stunning, Ashley. And this couple, as well as the rest of them, have been so inspirational. Thanks so much for letting God use you and I pray you continue to grow and prosper. And to answer your question, YES I am empowered. Btw Be expecting this girl as a guest on your show in 5 years when the Lord fulfills His promises to me. See you then! :)
YOU ARE SO SWEET! I appreciate you so much & I feel the love through your message. Thank you for tuning in and I look forward to having you on the show. Blessings! xo, Ash
This couple don't know how much of a blessing they have been to my life. Words are not even enough to start describing... I always refer back to this particular video. ALWAYS!
I just stumbled upon your UA-cam channel and I really like this couple and the advice they gave. Being single I find their advice to be really great and biblical.
I LOVE how honest they are about their imperfections. God is mighty and can work with anyone who is willing to place Him first. They look familiar and now I know why; they are from my state im pretty sure San Diego
Hi Ashley! I like never comment on videos but I wanted to say first off, thank you for what you are doing. These videos are truly a blessing to me and I know it is for others. Also, congrats to you and your husband and I am praying for your union and wish you two the very BEST! All of your Dating with purpose videos really touched me but this one is very special to me because Yore was one of my beautiful brides. I am a makeup artist and I had the pleasure and honor to do her makeup for her lovely wedding. I know for sure Christ was in the center and still is. I am happy to see God using their union to reach lives.
Watching this a year later & so blessed for this series, Sometimes I feel like I cant relate to other relationship even with people my age bc I'm trying to court. And Yore & Mekeyas relationship in the beginning reminds me of mine own, . Something she said stuck with me " the right thing at the wrong time , is just the wrong thing." Currently praying that during our break we seek God wholeheartedly for God and his kingdom only not just for a better foundation to continue our relationship, this is definitely so relatable, so encouraging
Wow! This was so amazing! ❤️ so much wisdom and a knowledge. God focused! Knowing we are not perfect but can look more like Jesus through Love. So inspiring✨
This interview was beyond phenomenal. Love their transparency. The way they were honest with each other. God bless you Ashley. This series have been a blessing. 😊🙌🏿
Omg I know them! From Calvary 🖤 Pastor Meykeyas has been a been big part of my spiritual journey when I was at Calvary. Truly a beautiful godly couple.
This is one of my favorite couples! So full of wisdom from the Lord... it's so exciting to see other young believers so on passion for our King! He is indeed OUR Everything!
I ve actually watched this video over nd over again. I have been EMPOWERED nd BLESSED!! Keep up the work Ashley nd Carrington. You guyz are really CHANGING HEARTS nd TRANSFORMING LIVES. God bless you!
I absolutely loved this!! my favorite so far :) i love the way they both are so in love with god and let him lead them in all they do .. very inspiring
The right thing at the wrong time can still be the wrong thing !! Loved this ! & how they had to renew their relationship with God after their breakup lead them back to each other
I enjoyed this so much that I watched more than once! Dying to know the backstory at 12:26 when Yore said, "he had to talk to my friend." What friend? Jesus? Shonquisha? Girl, don't leave me with a cliffhanger- I'm nosey!
These two are my people. Such a beautiful couple. I enjoyed hearing them speak of the Lord. So proud of you guys. May God bless you and your marriage always! Thank you Ashley for this wholesome interview!
I love these videos, and I love how every couple has a different journey. I'm showing my kids these videos when they get older! It's important to show good examples I think, especially when we're all bombarded with such bad examples everywhere else.
This was so beautiful and rich with godly wisdom! I am thankful for this couple sharing their story and for the outlet of the show for them to share it. Thanks for this encouraging vid Ashely! 💖
Omg!!!! This is so where I am right now. It will be 6 months from when my ex fiancee and I broke up. And that was the issue I was selfish and not willing to change! These last 6 months God has revealed so much to me during this time! I believe that he is my husband but God has literally brought me back to my first love! Lord you are faithful!
Started watching these videos today while studying for finals and I’m blown away! Thank God for directing me to these videos! Ashley thanks for producing this series ❤️
Great video! I especially loved Yore's comment on singles not making an idol out of marriage. I'm single and I know for sure that I'm not ready for marriage, yet I get so anxious about getting married. This really encouraged me just to be patient, and focus on seeking God in my life. Ashley, thanks so much for these videos! Your ministry is really helping a lot of people in so many different ways!
Hi Ashley, I just want to say that this whole series that you've been doing has been SO helpful for me; this episode especially. It's so encouraging to see that there are other people who have struggles as well and that we need to wake up everyday and make a choice to love God first and let Him change us. Thanks so much! Rosie
Hi Ashley,just wanted you to know I so enjoyed this I really loved what the young man said about marriage is a INVESTMENT and also what you said about never replace GOD with a relationship , Great points and great job GOD BLESS .
Wow, i love Yore! I wish we were friends. I can listen to her all day she's so animated with her answers...To God be the Glory! What an awesome testimony :-)
@Ashley Empowers I sincerely ❤️ these two. I love how the love of God, and his word shine thru them. I love their honesty, and the love they have for one another.
Well well well, this is the second video of yours that I have seen, and now I am subscribing. This couple is so inspiring and uplifting. God bless them and you... i am excited to see more vids. This is such an awesome thing your doing. Bless your heart
1:19 Haha, that's relatable.. 🤔💭 2:30 Another one that started with friendship.. 💎 Nice..! And LOL @ REALLY NOT liking each other before.. ✨⚡✨ - @Acharich
I love these videos thanks for sharing. I am in waiting FINALLY and although it will be hard and challenging going from dating all the time to going cold turkey I believe its possible with Christ. I want to be a married woman!
Your channel is so inspiring! Sometimes walking this walk can be very discouraging but to hear successful stories just allows myself and hopefully others that a God centered relationship is possible and are out there. I am truly grateful especially in those times of discouragement...God bless you :)
Keep these series up. Its so encouraging to see couples keeping Jesus at the centre of their lives. Love them!!!
DreSweetheart Praise God! Thanks so much for watching!
loved this interview. i love how it wasn't clean cut..a lot of breakups and self discovery. but when it was time it was done God's way wholeheartedly.
What a phenomenal couple, wow! I would listen to them speak for hours because of all that wisdom 💕
+Melody Motsa I feel the exact same way!
She reminds me of Kerry Washington....Lovely couple
Mmm, I can see that.. 💯 I think Kerry has similar heritage.. 💭 East Africa I'm sure.. 💣
My number 1 couple
You can tell that they love each other
It's wonderful to see how God can bring two beautiful people together

Reading your coming now I see you posted it s year ago. If you don’t mind me asking did yol get back together
I really enjoy this couple, and love the way they speak in such a genuine way. Especially to see the beauty of her clinging to her husbands every word. So beautiful ♥
btw If you all didn't know Mekayla and Yore are expecting they're first baby.. they announced it on their Instagram 😊
Wow. I'm not one for leaving comments and sharing thoughts about the endless videos I watch on UA-cam. This is a true ministry to all who watch your channel. What powerful wholesome channel that does truly empower. I pray that this channel goes viral and will reach the masses. God bless you and continue to spread the good news. Amen.
Awwwh thank you sis! Praise God, its all him. Thank you for your kind words!
The fact that I’m actually in the season they were in years ago . I’m definitely learning what Yore had to learn balancing god and the man I love. God is teaching me so much already it has been hard but I believe it’s so worth it. I will not date the man I love until Jesus is my center.
Also I think what makeyas said about searching for happiness and other things in God allows you to not necessarily need a dependency on your significant other is so accurate and valuable.
Love from England (kenyan)
Yesss! So true! Thank you for watching love!
Wow...what a blessed couple. This really inspired me because I just broke up with the love of my life because we aren't equally yoked. So together we decided to be obedient to the Lord and be apart. This gives me hope that if it is the will of the Lord we will reunite. Thank you for your story and thanks Ashley for doing this video.
NewlyNappy Hey love! I pray for a smooth transition for you & Im so happy you were obedient to the Lord. Thank you for watching!
