Took notes for myself; sharing with ya'll 🤗 1. He protected her feelings - no games. U feel mutual trust and security in each other and what u both have. 2. He met her standards - true man of God who wanted to build a pure relationship with her. 3. He did not have any attributes from her non-negotiable list - u should have some must-haves but also some absolutely-nots. He must align with both especially, the latter. 4. He asked her to marry him - sure sign he is the One. 5. She had peace - there was such ease & flow right from the start. No one forced anything. It was God's timing so, it was all a breeze. Until today, it has been blessed. Choose wisely, ladies 🥰💖 may ya'll be blessed!
My wife was waiting for a good while. I was lead astray by a bad woman, she was lead astray as well but we found each other and now have 3 kids, married 4 years :)
This is right on time for the current season in my life ! This is why I love God so much. Although this video was recorded a year ago the spirit has me come across this I’m the appropriate season of my life! God is omnipresent for sure and time is not a barrier for him! Thank you for sharing Ashley 😊 currently enjoying my single season because when God allows me to meet my spouse it will happen SUDDENLY! ♥️🙏🏽
This was great advice. A man that knows how to protect the woman that he loves feelings is such an important thing thing. I always say you gotta have standards and don’t change them just to make someone else happy. I really enjoyed this video.
I don’t think it is necessarily all going to fall into place quickly like her relationship did just because it’s the right one. Sometimes it takes time for people in the relationship to grow, time to sort out issues with family members and the partner, etc.
I love the statement about not having to be perfect. I really needed to hear that and thats the first time I have ever heard someone say that. I love the way you present information. You make everything clear and simple to understand. Thanks for allowing God to use you to be a blessing to so many people. Thank you
WHOSO FINDETH A WIFE FINDETH A GOOD THING AND OBTAINETH FAVOUR OF THE LORD (PROVERBS 18 v. 22). I WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION EARLIER WITH MY MOM THAT I HOPE AND PRAY THAT I HAVE DISCERNMENT WHEN I MEET MY FUTURE HUSBAND BECAUSE YOU CAN MEET A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. THANKS #ASHLEY FOR YOUR TRANSPARENCY. HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON.
I disagree on one statement there...When a man asks for marriage it is not a definet sign that they are THE ONE. Someone can ask you to marry them yet they were not meant to be with you. They can ask for marriage and still not be the one.
@@marylenarouse856 hey Happy Thanksgiving. I think one adjustment would be, #5 I think, not expecting her to ask me to marry her. I'm curious if she feels their are any additional changes from a man's perspective. Do you think there are any additional items for men when asking "how we know she's the one"?
@@greenhomes8843 Hey, Happy Thanksgiving. That's a great question. Currington- her husband talks about how he knew she was the one. I encourage you to check out some of her videos with her husband. As far as you knowing if she's the one, I think the list Ashley have is a great start.
I think I get in my way😔 searching for an ideal mate. The lady I'm currently dating is real quirky and I can be a bit tense. She's definitely a breathe of fresh air. However, she's not exactly what I imagined. Yet I want to do better and have the want to protect her. I know for a fact I would've been "cool" off her a couple yrs ago. Regarding, peace I feel it in her presence but mixed when away. I want to be intentional, which is why I'm watching this video lol
If u r confused its better to just leave her alone so she can be found by the one who absolutely adores and cherishes her. When u find d one, u will know n u will treat her with lots of clarity, love and no confusion.
This is a late comment but this kind of sounds like how I am 😬 if it’s not too late, maybe ask how she feels. Sometimes emotions can’t always be determined.
@@sweetspice9120 yup. For the main commenter: So proud of you for searching for God's blessing on this. Way to go! Remember this important thing: sometimes God can only speak to us when we're alone and not distracted by our ideas of what we want. Guard your heart,God is not the author of confusion. That's why your spirit is feeling conflicted. It's like dieting, of course the cookie feels good when we're next to the cookie jar but not when we step away from it. The devil tempts us the same way. Don't follow your emotions,follow your peace (not what u can settle for but what you have peace with) I've lived it and God exposed it all just in time, all the best to u be wise. You can't make right what God has not blessed so always ask him for confirmation. The only way you'll know is by spending some time with God without her for a little. Fast for a few days and don't contact her and just pursue God and ask for confirmation. You'll miss her but ask God to show you if she's the one or not and He will just be open to receive any answer he gives; if it's the one you want to hear and even if it's the one you don't want to hear. Think past ur heart and think destiny, will God bless this? What will my marriage /children be like if God does or doesn't bless this? How will it affect my purpose ? And can I live with that? Wish u all the best! Remember, God always answers we just have to be ready to listen.
I don't think a man asking a woman in marriage should be on the priority list because his character...beliefs....his walk with God should weigh greater than that because a man can ask a woman to marry him but throughout the courtship she notice he have a narcissistic character so that answer will be no.
I think she is saying more so if he meets all the things she talked about before. He can be a great man and have all the things the woman is looking for but never ask her to marry him.
She is speaking in the context of your list being what you will not put up with, and him being the opposite. For example a few of my non negotiable things include: smokers, heavy drinkers, a potty mouth. . . So I would want a guy who has opposite characteristics.
How long did you guys wait on the Intamcy? Just curious. Between time you dated and got married lol. Good video, I dig that you mention about everyone playing some kind of games, games really does take all the fun out of the real adult part of dating and marriage. :)
It sounds like he didn't meet her standard when it came to sexual purity until after she said she knew better and confronted him. so was premarital sex happening in the beginning of the relationship? being in a relationship yes, with someone we don't have to be perfect but like she said we must have standards and every woman should raise their standard when it come to premarital sex before and during courtship before getting married because how long a guy can restrain himself lets a woman know if he has a problem in that area so when you meet someone after 1 week of knowing him and he's pressuring you to have sex then he's really going to have a problem with you leaving to go on a 6 month trip after being married so we ladies have to keep that in mind. also if he hasn't gotten any help in the area of having self-control when it comes to sex, getting married only makes it worse. until a woman sees a man at peace without being sexually intimate is a sign he has self-control but if he starts getting a attitude.....a 360 in character change then that's a sign he is weak when it comes to sexually restraining himself and please see that as a red flag. He will be a future cheater if he doesn't acknowledge to God he needs help and staying with him will not make it better because the next thing he will do is pressure the lady to get married. Then it escalates after marriage which most think it's "normal" but it's pornography and not intimacy. Body language is 90% of communication.
Yes. They had pre-marital sex.And both Ashley and Carrington have spoekn about it in a previous video. It took two of them to be involved in premarital sex; it wasn't just the man. And in that video they said, they repented and did things God's way.
I like you by all you've said in this video 6 months on. I most probably have missed the course you've mentioned now. Is it possible please to revise your decision on the last time on 85% discount course. I'm seriously interested. You've made me finally liking the idea of myself to get married.
My question, did you have to lie to your husband to get him to call you versus text? I don't like texting, and prefer to talk, yet I keep meeting men who prefer to text. Then, as an educator, it bothers me with all the shorthand and grammatical errors. I don't want to tell some fantasy about how his "voice soothes me" in order to get him to call. I too want to be one who breaks the generational curse of the women in my family not having loving, faithful, happy, peaceful, and supportive marriages. We have a lot of men who are, but our women aren't.
Well I can tell you this from a mans point of view. Now here’s the deal, I don’t see weak or to nice or being a player or anything of that nature. This is me, and I juts say accept me as I am. So when my lady says I don’t like it when you don’t smile much. I work on it period the end, I may not be perfect all the time at doing it, but 4 times a week I put the work In. I say live transparent life. Take the games out life is short.
Then meeting a guy who loves talking on the phone should be your standard. Probably might not be included in your non negotiable list. Then pray to God for such a man that has similar mindset like you. If you are dating a man presently, you can tell him you prefer talking n see how it goes.
Wild, Wild West 🤦🏾♀️😂 In other news, how to communicate with a man? I’ve been single so many years idk what I’ll end up saying chile. Might need to look into this intensive. 🤓
Is good for a person that's been a widow for 13 years and haven't dated in 8 years that would be me I'm so out of touch with dating because I have been celbant for 8 years and I have been fasting and praying for 8 years and I'm not dating anyone at this time I'm 64 years old and I don't have any suiter at this time and I'm a saved woman praying for a saved Godly husband any suggestions
I met an amazing man of God that treats me like a queen and is planning to marry me but I've always wanted a tall man. This man is literally my height and it bothers me. He even shrunk since I met him. I thought I would be over this by now and it's getting better but I still think about it sometimes. Am I being shallow? Should I throw that one out for the sake of marrying such a sweet, loving man?
Oh gosh this is one of the things on my list as well! lol I'm 5'8 and have always desired to be with a taller man but I think the reason for that is because it made me feel more feminine I suppose, but if this man loves you, is willing to protect and be a provider I would say try and focus on the things you love abt him and look past it but if it continues to bother you and it's just something you cant look past then he's not it, cause God is not going to give you something you dont want !
Exactly!! I'm also 5ft8 and have always dreamed of being with a taller man lol I think you're right, it makes me feel more feminine to look up to my man ect. I'm trying to be open minded and not limit God due to preference but also keeping in mind what you said! Thank you sis in Christ! 😊💖
@@cierrab6163 "God is not going to give you what you don't want" well said 🙌🏾. I am 5ft10 and I also want to marry a tall man (way taller than me) and I know it will happen. 😊
God will send me a godly husband for me and my life and dreams and faith hands his wisdom and grace of his glory by God's gifted and strength n arms I trust God and believe in him. I need to lead God for me pick him out to be my new future husband
"God's standards/how I know I met the one according to the word of God" is far greater than 'our own standards/list of how I know I met the one" because there's such a thing as false peace.
I adore women. Were women always this way? Anyways we’re fooling ourselves in thinking women are capable of 1. logical thinking; 2. true emotional connection & genuine sentimentality; 3. anything resembling love. As long as you approach women as such, you’ll be fine. But the moment you start to care or be sentimental.... it will collapse like a house of cards. Nothing will change until men start acting like men -SIMPs need to man up and stop helping these women
