    Hey BEAT family! If you are single, dating, engaged or even married, this is a very important video. As a matter of fact, this entire series is important. If you know someone who is currently dating and is a Christian, please share this video with them. We have bad marriages because we have bad dating practices. Jennifer and I are on a mission to help as many couples as possible date better so we can have better marriages. I hope you enjoy this 3-part series! P.S. Don't forget to sign up for upcoming 3-day challenge next week at biblechallenge2023.com/. Enjoy!

    The ministry partner part is very important. I was pursued by a Pastor who had a calling to build a church and school in a third world country. That is very admirable. I was so grateful that he explained that early on, because I knew right then that I wasn't his wife because that was not my calling at all. Today he is married to someone else and has successfully founded his ministry, while I am the wife and helper of someone who had a different purpose.
  • @a5anointed705
    Your wife is so beautiful and has the best smile! You’re such a great couple. Thank you for this series.
  • Friendship is missing in most cases. It’s such a blessing and how it’s meant to be. 💜
  • @Loveis_Kind
    Im learning boundaries and enforcing them !!! It’s crazy how many men are losing interest But I refuse to settle ☝🏽 the right man will see me like God sees me 💎
  • @Vivalabridge
    As a single christian woman i absolutely love this series and your counsel! I love that she spoke about focusing on character and having boundaries. Please make more of these!
  • @lovedbyYahuah
    I’ll be honest..for most of my relationships, chemistry was the most important thing! If we didn’t have that fizzle/sizzle, I didn’t want it! But now that I’m a little older, I realize it’s a bit overrated. Yea, attraction is important but godly character is more important.
  • @ridgebhouse
    You guys are gorgeous. It’s important that we promote marriage again. We have people like Andrew Tate, and others undermining the foundation of these very important relationships. When people understand that they’re in control of who they decide to spend their life with ! it’s not as hopeless as others have made it seem.
  • @Sanctify309
    My face literally lit up when you said "tall Nigerian dude". We Nigerians know how to grow a godly family. Love, from here.
  • @CocoNubia
    I literally just prayed & asked God last night to show me how to date like a Christian woman who wants to be a wife & this video shows up on my timeline! This was definitely on time! Thank you both so much! Such a lovely couple!
  • As a women it's so nice to hear a beautiful Christian woman perspective. I already have respect for her in only two videos. ♥️
  • Yo JENNIFER IS GORGEOUS!!!!!! 😍 her skin, her SPIRIT!!! She has a beautiful voice she's lovely!!! You two are beautiful together, love this!!
  • @BravelyDaily
    Your wife is a beautiful, breath of fresh air! Please bring her on more often! You guys truly make a great team. I believe a godly marriage takes two people who are intentional, willing to serve the other, put God first, and set strong boundaries while knowing their sinful nature will take over if not protected. Great, inspiring story!
  • @Belief03
    The statement you made about —make sure you are friends and really like each other—-is spot on! ❤️
  • @maryjaneocl
    Your wife is a very beautiful lady. Be thankful to the Lord for such a lady who "works with" you and not against you.
  • Thank you for this video. It was an encouraging reminder for me. I'm 43 years old and desire to be married and a mommy. I've never been married, nor do I have children. Sometimes I feel like it will never happened but it will happen 😊 and I pray that when it does, my future hubby and I will follow after God's way and this beautiful teaching.
  • @ronnie-lynn
    It’s so convenient to move in with a boyfriend/girlfriend and this world is so expensive (it’s a trap) to put us in these relationships that go nowhere for years and years. Because it’s easier to share rent and bills, but you’re so right. That is what married couples do. Not dating. I will personally not get trapped in that cycle ever again! 🙌🏻
  • @Noloyiso_M
    Liking each other as a married couple cant be stressed enough. I need more succuessful married Christian couples to speak on that, because there comes a point in pursuing Godly marriage where people make it seem like it doesnt matter at all, in an attempt to say that its not the most important thing.
  • @namaste348
    I've noticed there's way more women that follow God than men, especially in the church. How do we navigate this when finding our husbands. What if they're not Christians?
