Met her today standing at the coffee stand 1/6/2024 and I complimented her ring. She said she been married 52 years and I said wowwwwwww!!!! Always ask the secret to being together for so long. She said I don’t argue and God she love her husband. She gave me her podcast to watch and we departed from each other. Went to my table and I looked to the left she walked up to me and gave me a certificate to eat that she wasn’t going to need because her and husband were leaving. I gave her a hug and told her thank you. Beautiful woman and I’m happy I had conversations with her
I was not expecting for this episode to mess me up like this...As a cancer survivor this story is everything I didn't know I needed to hear to feel God's love in this moment.
I made it through this whole episode without crying until he said, She complained about parking at the school and I told her, you'll never drive there again. Lord! I've seen what you've done for others 🙌🏽🖤
"Count your blessings, but NEVER your disappointments! Because the devil will ride in your disappointments and make you feel like you will never accomplish anything!" What a word! Hallelujah! I loved this episode! WISDOM was poured out in this episode. I pray everyone who listens to this interview will learn something! Praise God! This was more than just about marriageand relationships! This was about trusting God and how important a relationship with Him is! "Without God we can't and without us God won't!"
This episode is an instant classic! The spirit of God is oozing all out of them. They convicted me, encouraged me, and inspired me all in all. I love this couple.
Yes! They convicted, encouraged, and inspired me as well! And I'm so happy to hear that statement from a man. Not to many men will admit to that publicly! God bless you!
I’M NOT SETTLINGGGGGG! This episode was a sign from God that He’s cultivating me and my husband to have this kind of love. Thanks for bringing on this amazing couple. #Thisisrealblackloveatitsfinest!
@pandas0918 SHUT CHO MOUF and KEEP ON TAKING!!! I'm trying to keep it together over here. Baby God gives us what we need. We just have to accept it. OO God I THANK YOU!!!
My mom shared this today and I was led to watch it this evening before going to bed. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, such a powerful testimony. I'm 45 and single, I've never had a serious relationship and at times think something is wrong with me. The last few weeks I've heard God say, trust my timing. I'm choosing to trust God and do life according to the Holy Word.
It's never too late. I was 52 when I married (celebrating 3 years so far). God has not forgotten about you. Stay in faith, it will happen. God Bless!! ☺️
You’ve never had a serious relationship!!! Why sis? Please tell….is it you? Do you not get out enough? Do you not trust men? Do you not love unconditionally? Are you challenged in anyway? I’m curious! You need to read some books like Thee Relationship Playbook and other dating books! It will help you!
I'm thirty minutes in. I have been praying and asking God for help in my marriage. When I say My Father in Heaven prepares the answer ahead of time all the way in Texas and sends the help! This is giving me a new wind, a fresh breath of air! I prayed this morning that I am in expectation for breakthrough. I been asking God for an older couple that can give wisdom. The Lord has supplied. God bless and multiply The Griffins. God bless and increase this podcast. THANK YOU 😭😭🙌🏾
This is probably my FAVORITE episode. I literally STOPPED working to listen. I pray I experience this level of sacrifice, obedience, patience, and love. Marriage is so much more then the glits and glams of social media.
PLEASE PRAY FOR MARRIAGES!!! We're overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony. 💯🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️Come through Grandpa Ronald and Grandma Linda! I needed this testimony at this time in August 2023. I've been married for 17 years and know others in my church who aren't willing to share their testimony after being married 50+ years when it is much needed.🙏🏾 I shared this link with my husband and can only pray that he will watch its entirety and be blessed. Marriage is not for the faint at heart.🙏🏾
I cried like a baby 😭...the hugs came out of hurt, you can't hug somebody if you've never been hurt. But when you've been hurt, you know how to hug. A sincere hug eases the hurt of the other person. I've been told that I give good hugs; now, I know why. Thank you for this 💜
As someone who was married to a wife who was stricken with brain cancer, their story really touched me. I remember the days when my Angel was really sick and I had to be strong for the both of us. The days when she lacked the energy to do anything, I had to do everything and I loved every minute of it because, I loved her and we took our vows aseriously. We were married for 5 years and she fought until the very end. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish that I could’ve taken her place. These two are truly a blessing from above. They show the true value of marriage, they are absolutely amazing and beautiful and to my wife Toya, your husband will always love and miss you my Angel.
My husband and I are newlyweds and we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary last month. This podcast was such a blessing. We hope and pray that we can have a blessed marriage just like this. Thank you Grandma and Grandma for all of your wisdom. This is what #BLACKLOVE looks like. ❤️
Seeing Laterras laugh, after we’ve cried last week, this has brought me joy on today! I have marinated in todays show. This was an awesome segment! Grandma Linda taught me as the Lady In Waiting! Haven’t even finished the video ❤❤
Grandma & Grandpa ❤️ God working in mysterious (and vexxing) ways, but always working for our good. Amen! This super fly and obedient couple’s testimony has blessed my life. Wise words!
I was a member of The Rose of Sharon and their amazing granddaughter Hunter is my niece. What you see here is pure mom and dad. I loved this so much. Thank you for having them on this podcast so they can bless others. Oh, and mom's hugs are definitely all that.
This couple resonates with me so much. My husband and I are 8 years apart, we met at the ages 17 and 25, our first born passed away, and I too filed for divorce, but died to self to get my hubby back. My hubby and I are 13 years strong and I pray we are blessed to see 51 years. I thank you both for keeping it LIT🙌🏾🙏🏾
I’ve had so many disappointments in life. I lost my son to suicide. My husband who I loved dearly passed away from a massive heart attack. I haven’t stopped loving God. But to be very transparent, I was beginning to lose hope……that I would find joy in living life again instead of just existing. But after watching the Griffins and listening to them, I know that I know that God still has a plan for me….and that even after huge disappointments I can still have life and have it more abundantly. My heart was broken but I am in the hands of the Great Physician who is healing and restoring me. Thank you for this powerful and anointed episode. And yes, I used to work at Blue Cross. They called Ron Griffin the Silver Gray Fox back in the day and a lot of women were after him😂 I was just a kid then but I see there could only be one woman that God made for Pastor Ron…..Linda you are the BEST….spicy, real, transparent and loving. Blessings to the both of you and THANK YOU.
This episode set the standard & expectation for what I desire in my life. I am affirming that God will bless me with a marriage as strong, intentional & beautiful as this! ❤️🙌🏾
Thank you so much King for airing this episode, I can totally identify. I’m from Ontario Canada, May of “2018” I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer which spread to my brain. The doctors said there’s nothing they can do for me, and gave me a certain time to live. To cut a long story short, I’m still here today, praising my Jesus, and giving thanks to Almighty God. I refuse to die! Death cannot touch me, it’s not my time to go, my purpose is not yet finished. I want to get married again, and I asked the Lord for another chance to do it right. I now have the understanding that marriage is more than have sex legally, it is designed by God, to show off Christ and the church.
LONGEVITY = LOVE•GEVITY There is a lot I've learned from this story of striving, believing, communication, and love. Nearly 52 years of marriage and still standing strong on the foundation of love. This is what you don't see and hear enough of on these social media platforms/handles. If only true love got more exposure...where would we be as men & women.
I loved the part when grandma said “all things flow from his pocket”😂❤️ I just love them🥺 What a beautiful love story and I love how they centre everything around God.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm in my office laughing so out loud! OMG! They're officially my cyber grandparents! I love them. They have blessed me TODAY! Laterras, thank you for bringing them to your podcast!
I’m upset that I can only like this once. This episode is EVERYTHING! We laughed, cried, worshipped all the things. They are truly an anointed, open loving inspiring couple. Hunter thank you so much for sharing them. Latteras God bless you for this awesome podcast and thank you for sharing your heart you are helping so many. Ps, we love your laugh so much. ❤
Just finished watching this. Man, I’m still processing this. I’m am so grateful for this platform to hear others testimonies on love. It’s truly helping to soften my heart and give me hope. This couple reminded my of me grandparents…so much love. Deep love. I’ll have to watch this again to catch everything. Thank you.
I hope folks aren't just hanging on to their stories about the good times, but also the challenges. To file for divorce after 20 years, him, not leaving the house in spite of that and her choosing to rekindle their marriage is no easy thing. Loving someone in spite of the flaws is real love. There's a lot of negotiating between we're not getting along and divorce.
I agree! Their testimony is a blessing. That being said, their testimony is not to convince those that are in unhealthy relationships or marriages to stay. Their marriage was built on trust and respect and that is why they’ve made it thus far.
Yes, going through the good and the bad in marriage is worth it! Every relationship, whether married or not goes through. We have been married for 10 years and it is not easy; like you said, love people in spite of their flaws :)
Grandma Linda and Paw Paw Ronald, I understood the cancer story. My youngest daughter had cancer and I refuse to eat or Cook 👩🏽🍳 in front of her. We still fast together when she has her checkup. She is 8 years cancer free. She is currently ten years old.
This is not to boast. I’m 43, married for 17yrs together for 20, previously divorced from a marriage of defiance, I was to young. Love this podcast. They speak so much truth from their hearts and from God. “You can’t hug unless you’ve experienced loss, grief or hurt”. And their experience of Gods plan. Mirrors my own, I gave up my good job to walk the path with God and now I’m a Children, Youth and Families Pastor, I have never been so fulfilled in my life. May God continue to bless this couple!!!
“Never lose your sense of humor, no matter what you’re going through” Grandpa Ron. I needed to hear that.❤️ This is absolutely the most beautiful episode. So many 💎💎💎.
Grandpa Ronald BLESSED my heart! He spoke my language. When God takes us through challenges He is testing our posture. One year later I'm STILL shocking the doctors because of how my body is healing from Stage 4 Metastasis Gastric Cancer, Ulcer and H. Pylori Bacteria. My testimony is that God didn't tell me to worry so I didn't because God Is...He Chose Me To Live!!!
This episode blessed me! My husband and I have been married for 16 years and the wisdom these two imparted was so needed. Marriage takes work. It’s a give and take. It’s not easy, but with the right partner, it’s worth it. I’m currently going through a medical condition right now and Grandpa Ron’s testimony blessed me. We need more of these types of conversations to happen in and out of the church. I firmly believe that when we can hear stories of coming out in the other side of trials and how to treat our spouses, we’d have less divorce. Loved this episode so much! I could listen to them all day! ❤
Ohh my God, thank you Future Wifey Podcast,l needed the affirmation that l need not to SETTLE for anything than the BEST as lm going through an unexpected break up where l was somehow considering resuscitate it.
This episode❣️❣️❣️❣️ I don’t know how this is going to be topped. This was such a Blessing. Thank you grandma Linda and Grandpa Ron and Laterras for the wisdom.
My husband and I are newly married and this episode was such a blessing and inspiration to our marriage journey! Praying for as much happiness and love when we reach 51 years!
This might be the absolute best one. True honesty from a couple who have seen the battlefield. I love how they acknowledged God as the one who brought them through every battle ❤ these two
This podcast has given me life you hear me???!!! I have laughed and cried!! I'm a 35 year old dialysis patient and I'm at Dialysis this moment and this has made the time go by gracefully. It has allowed me to appreciate my husband of 9 years in March and our journey even more! Thank you so much for this!!
Me& my husband enjoyed watching this😂🙏🏾🙂we are on year 7, And divorce isn’t an option for us. OUR FIRST MARRIAGE WILL BE OUR ONLY MARRIAGE. This video was good🧎🏾♀️
I criiiieeeddd like a baby! This episode is the epitome of a beautiful marriage under God because they kept overcoming together and they continue to reconnect after trials and did so intentionally. They trust each other, respect each other, are display kind acts of service for one another. This is how you stay married for 51+ years! Oh, I'm taking notes! I've been married for 9+ years and counting. You all blessed me! Thank you so much!
"Count your blessings, but never your disappointments." So many gems were dropped during this episode but that 'bombshell' resonated within the innermost core of my spirit. Whoa!!! Thanks Dear Future Wifey for having this beautiful couple pour from their hearts unto mine. This was an outpouring of timeless wisdom! Blessings from 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
So glad to see Laterras laughing so hard. 😂 laughter is a good medicine for the soul. That was a great couple to invite in his podcast in such a time like this. They had gold nuggets on an enduring loving relationship. It was never perfect but their love and their obedience to God kept them together. Look at them now. Such a blessing to have them the podcast. I laughed so hard too and my whole day was brightened up!
Eve, you have to see the episode with the young lady whose weave fell off. You have not seen laughter from the host like you will on that show. And be ready, don't pee your pants because that guest is soooo funny, especially after her weave fell behind the sofa..😳😲🥰
Thankyou so much for this , I literally just got out the hospital yesterday, pregnant with heart failure with an injection fraction rate less than 20%. I’m married to a man I believe I was supposed to stand for in marriage but no longer have a desire to. I realized I stop praying because I seen no results , I’m still not sure what I wanna do as far as divorce but I do know you spoke to me and encouraged me deeply . Thanks for having this amazing couple on. Too many years ahead love Letitia!
Where do I begin! This episode blessed me so much!! On the first day of this year, I remarried my former ex-husband. We too had irreconcilable differences. FOOLISHNESS!! God knew! It is truly a GOD THING!! Marriage is a ministry and this thing is so much bigger than us!! Thank you. Not only was it entertaining but this episode confirmed so much for me! I pray blessings over their ministry and yours. I am excited to see what God has in store!!
Lord!! I cried and then I laughed!! I been married to my husband for 26 years!! This episode made me realize we will forever grow in our relationship!! The love of God is so powerful!! Wow!!
I’m 26 years old and I just got out of a continuous situation with my daughters father. I’ve been hooked on your videos binge watching, I’ve never been married but I have this feeling over me that’s making me dive into learning more about marriage and hearing peoples stories. I feel marriage is something I’m starting to want more and more, and the feeling grows the more I watch your videos. Thank you for this atmosphere for young and old to come and learn, grow, and heal in some way just by listening to peoples journeys and testimonies.
Yo! This episode kept poppin’ up on my timeline and I refused to watch it-for no particular reason. But I heard the Spirit say, “Watch it! There’s a lot of gems in there for you.” Maaaan, I’m so grateful I was obedient and finally watched. I learned so much about the Most High’s love, obedience, trust, sacrifice, true love, the Most High’s will for our lives as opposed to our own plans, faith, family, forgiveness,patience and endurance. Man! This was awesome. All praises to the Most High!
When I tell you I haven’t moved since I clicked on this episode. This is such a healing episode. When God has given me the ability to believe in marriage again. I’m so thankful to know God will give me a marriage that will give God glory . The reason why I say that is because he gave me a testimony in 2019 and the story is still developing . But I know my marriage will give God glory . The way God is still using this couple in their 51 years in marriage. As well as this podcast .. the way tears are flowing as you all ended in prayer .. it’s more I can say ..but whew And that point on fasting Jesus
This beautiful. So many people will stop talking to good people over the smallest things and trust me when I say the smallest things. You got to be resilient. Let's take notes people.
There has been some amazing guests on this podcast, but this is by far my favorite episode and couple. I laughed and almost cried. This level of love and commitment is what we all pray for. 💗💗
22 minutes in and the tears keep flowing. Thank you for your transparency Grandma and Grandpa. Your story opened my eyes WIDE to the Power and the Blessings of God.
Authentic love is the best love! To see a couple who tells you the unadulterated truth is amazing! I love this couple! Us young married couples needed this!!! They are giving us the good, bad, & ugly and I’ve loved every minute of it!!!
There aren't enough words to describe how powerful this interview was. So many lessons to learn and so many gems to treasure. I'm not the same and I'm thankful that I came across this podcast! All the best in Jamaica! 🇯🇲
This story defines the relationship I share with my husband. The highs and lows, age differences of 14 years 9 months his junior, and cultural up bringing. We experienced power struggles, sickness, unemployment and grief, Together. We became best friends after the first 5 years, and as I write this message in year 13 of marriage , we STILL choose one another and work hard at our marriage. We've learned that what affects one, affects the other and we take it to the LORD, in Prayers❤
OMG! Look at you Laterras, It is so nice to see you Full of Smiles and Laughter, not to mention the glow that I am seeing, you go Laterras. God will get you through it. This couple is amazing❤. God bless them❤️❤️.
I just started shouting!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 You give me and my husband hope, as a newlywed of 2 years, and a late bloomer - First time married in my 40s. Thank you for the inspiration!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The podcast I never knew I needed!! I been married 24 years and I’m so committed to keep on pushing❤ Thank you for this. It’s such a confirmation of all God speaks to me daily in my marriage 🙌🏽🫶🏽
I have laughed, cried, been poured into, but most of all blessed by this episode! Hope has been restored to my heart. I thank you for your wisdom, sharing your journey and most of all being real with your walk🙏🏽
WOW!!! I've been married for 27 years, and I promise they just told the story of how my husband and I met and married even down to my husband now being a pastor. I pray🙏🏾 that we will continue to mirror this beautiful man and woman of GOD. Thank you 😊 💓
I love this episode for a million reasons. One thing that it has done was to help me to see my mother and father in a different light. It brought me to a place of honoring them and respecting them in their choices as a married couple. It healed some things in me about my mom that was destroying our relationship. Now, I respect her choice to protect her husband, my dad, as fiercely as she does. I can see them on a different level because of this beautiful couple. I am praying for God to truly reconcile me and my mom as he thaws my heart towards her and my dad. I don’t want to miss out on the treasures that they have to give me in their almost 38 year marriage for my marriage. I definitely see God in this episode. There is hope in unfailing love. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💜
Part 2 please! The best episode ever and to ever be ❤ The wealth of knowledge is unfathomable from this beautiful couple. I love them and appreciate everything they have bestowed upon us. They are an absolute 💎 gem.
I absolutely loved this episode 💕. This is the kind of truth that is necessary to make a long term relationship work... trust and respect = Love!!! Thank you for sharing your stories to help us live better lives.
This couple exudes the goodness of God! I love the way they both care for each other and display their love. This is one in a million. I hope that all singles, including myself, would be blessed to have this one day. Many blessings to them and to all of your viewers. God is GOOD!
Lord I'm just a few minutes in and I'm already crying. When she said, "He is my earthly hero....I believe he can do anything." Whew! We use the term relationship goals too loosely but this couple is truly relationship goals! Ok...let me keep watching... lol
Unfailing Love with the Griffins was absolutely beautiful!!! God is so Awesome!!! I cried so many times during this episode because it really spoke to me!!! Count are blessings and not our disappointments. Listen to our husbands, she gave up a dream home to have a home build from the ground up. Obedience, Respect, Trust, and Love 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜
Thank you for this couple, they have blessed me and blessed my marriage. Thank you, Dear Future Wifey for Obedience . It takes alignment in God to get content this rich to bless generations. I am 34 years old, married 4 years and now looking forward to 51 years and more of a beautiful Godly marriage. God bless you LRW.
This is soooo beautiful! My parents were high school sweethearts and will have been married for 54years on Jan 31st in a loving faithful marriage! I absolutely love this and believe in Love! Thanks for sharing!
This Episode was EVERYTHING‼️ It was a Blessing I had to pass on to my son and his wife‼️ My daughter in Love wrote me for the 1st time and told me how it really helped her. Thank you Sincerely for this Episode ‼️
I'm 32 Been single and celibate since 2016 and I'm not settling for less than this beautiful healthy godly black love 💕🖤💜
💕
Absolutely!! #notsettling
Same!!!
Same time frame and reasons
Same since 2012.. I refuse to settle for nothing less than God’s best!!!
"When a black man is delivered, black women are automatically blessed."
Amen

I almost threw my phone across the room!
I got emotional because it's so true.
Amen

Met her today standing at the coffee stand 1/6/2024 and I complimented her ring. She said she been married 52 years and I said wowwwwwww!!!! Always ask the secret to being together for so long. She said I don’t argue and God she love her husband. She gave me her podcast to watch and we departed from each other. Went to my table and I looked to the left she walked up to me and gave me a certificate to eat that she wasn’t going to need because her and husband were leaving. I gave her a hug and told her thank you. Beautiful woman and I’m happy I had conversations with her
What’s her podcast? She seems like a firecracker but a lovely woman.
I’m so glad Hunter decided to share her grandparents with us.
I was not expecting for this episode to mess me up like this...As a cancer survivor this story is everything I didn't know I needed to hear to feel God's love in this moment.
This episode has blessed me.
I said the exact same thing‼️
@2of11 This was our Heavenly Father massaging your heart. He's showing you, He's right with you and had never left you! I'm going to pray for you Sis
❤💯
💕💕💕indeed
I made it through this whole episode without crying until he said, She complained about parking at the school and I told her, you'll never drive there again. Lord! I've seen what you've done for others 🙌🏽🖤
“when he couldn’t drink , I would sneak to drink ..” this couple is so candid and real 🙏🏽🤧
It was the "crocodile tears" for me. 🤣
😂😂😂 I was cracking up lol
"Count your blessings, but NEVER your disappointments! Because the devil will ride in your disappointments and make you feel like you will never accomplish anything!" What a word! Hallelujah! I loved this episode! WISDOM was poured out in this episode. I pray everyone who listens to this interview will learn something! Praise God! This was more than just about marriageand relationships!

We need more couples like this in the world. Their wisdom is golden.
This episode is an instant classic! The spirit of God is oozing all out of them. They convicted me, encouraged me, and inspired me all in all. I love this couple.
Yes! An iconic episode indeed!
Yes! They convicted, encouraged, and inspired me as well! And I'm so happy to hear that statement from a man. Not to many men will admit to that publicly! God bless you!
Same!
@Mitchell A, AMEN! Me too.
Amen Amen Amen‼️
I’M NOT SETTLINGGGGGG! This episode was a sign from God that He’s cultivating me and my husband to have this kind of love. Thanks for bringing on this amazing couple. #Thisisrealblackloveatitsfinest!
‼️‼️‼️‼️
@pandas0918 SHUT CHO MOUF and KEEP ON TAKING!!! I'm trying to keep it together over here. Baby God gives us what we need. We just have to accept it. OO God I THANK YOU!!!
This has nothing to do with settling but finding somebody who is willing to put in the work!
That part💚🙏🏾💚
If you’re ready to put in the work to treat ‘him’ as a king, he will find you and treat you as a queen.
My mom shared this today and I was led to watch it this evening before going to bed. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, such a powerful testimony. I'm 45 and single, I've never had a serious relationship and at times think something is wrong with me. The last few weeks I've heard God say, trust my timing.

It's never too late. I was 52 when I married (celebrating 3 years so far). God has not forgotten about you. Stay in faith, it will happen. God Bless!! ☺️
None of you shall lack her mate. Receive your mate in Jesus name
You’ve never had a serious relationship!!! Why sis? Please tell….is it you? Do you not get out enough? Do you not trust men? Do you not love unconditionally? Are you challenged in anyway?
I’m curious! You need to read some books like Thee Relationship Playbook and other dating books! It will help you!
I'm 53 and not married
I married for the first time at 47 and it's been 21½ years already. GOD did it.
I'm thirty minutes in. I have been praying and asking God for help in my marriage. When I say My Father in Heaven prepares the answer ahead of time all the way in Texas and sends the help! This is giving me a new wind, a fresh breath of air! I prayed this morning that I am in expectation for breakthrough. I been asking God for an older couple that can give wisdom. The Lord has supplied. God bless and multiply The Griffins. God bless and increase this podcast. THANK YOU 😭😭🙌🏾
May you marriage be blessed and filled with happiness peace and joy. Amen
I believe and receive it. Amen!
In Yeshua’s Mighty Name, Amen
Eccl. 4:9-12; GOD will give you a couple to hold you in prayer. I touch and agree; now get your heart right in GOD and watch HIM---Exodus 14:13-16!
Did you work it out?
This is probably my FAVORITE episode. I literally STOPPED working to listen. I pray I experience this level of sacrifice, obedience, patience, and love. Marriage is so much more then the glits and glams of social media.
I totally agree sis, me too!
Yes, this is so REAL...social media is absolutely no comparison.
PLEASE PRAY FOR MARRIAGES!!!
We're overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony. 💯🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️Come through Grandpa Ronald and Grandma Linda!
I needed this testimony at this time in August 2023. I've been married for 17 years and know others in my church who aren't willing to share their testimony after being married 50+ years when it is much needed.🙏🏾
I shared this link with my husband and can only pray that he will watch its entirety and be blessed. Marriage is not for the faint at heart.🙏🏾
I cried like a baby 😭...the hugs came out of hurt, you can't hug somebody if you've never been hurt. But when you've been hurt, you know how to hug. A sincere hug eases the hurt of the other person. I've been told that I give good hugs; now, I know why. Thank you for this 💜
Omg..me too. The clarity of it took me away
,💓
Same! That resonated with me so much!
Hugs are comforting❤
“Quit your job? Full time pastor? How many members you got?” Grandma Linda is hilarious 😂
FACTSSS!!! HOT PANTS AND LEGS>>> GETTTT HIM GRANDMA LINDA!!!! YASSSSS😂😂😂😂
Where is that in the video
@@Welldamntv from minute 1:09:09
Hilarious ‼️
As someone who was married to a wife who was stricken with brain cancer, their story really touched me. I remember the days when my Angel was really sick and I had to be strong for the both of us. The days when she lacked the energy to do anything, I had to do everything and I loved every minute of it because, I loved her and we took our vows aseriously. We were married for 5 years and she fought until the very end. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish that I could’ve taken her place. These two are truly a blessing from above. They show the true value of marriage, they are absolutely amazing and beautiful and to my wife Toya, your husband will always love and miss you my Angel.
Shes not far away love. My condolences i wish you healing and peace
@@Dagoldenchild22 thank you sweetheart ❤
My condolences!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🤍
@@clasejayp thank you.

The way she looks at him and get excited when he talked about her , also the way he talks about their relationship is AMAZING AND BREATHTAKING ❤
Yes!!!
Absolutely! Still....looks at him with such love and admiration.
Amen this what's happens when wait on God to bless you
I just love her spirit! So sweet, so confident, spicy 😂, and certainly in love with her husband after 51 years!
She said, "Ladies, stay spicy," so maybe that is the cheat code. I just kove her.
My husband and I are newlyweds and we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary last month. This podcast was such a blessing. We hope and pray that we can have a blessed marriage just like this. Thank you Grandma and Grandma for all of your wisdom. This is what #BLACKLOVE looks like. ❤️
Their podcast is a spiritual medicinal formula for TRUE love through action and faith.
Love this!!!! I am ready for this kind of love ❤️
Seeing Laterras laugh, after we’ve cried last week, this has brought me joy on today! I have marinated in todays show. This was an awesome segment! Grandma Linda taught me as the Lady In Waiting! Haven’t even finished the video ❤❤
Amen
I'm agree. This was a blessing to my soul.
Love this couple. I listened and learned.
Grandma & Grandpa ❤️ God working in mysterious (and vexxing) ways, but always working for our good. Amen! This super fly and obedient couple’s testimony has blessed my life. Wise words!
I was a member of The Rose of Sharon and their amazing granddaughter Hunter is my niece. What you see here is pure mom and dad. I loved this so much. Thank you for having them on this podcast so they can bless others. Oh, and mom's hugs are definitely all that.
I need her to go around and hug us all! I absolutely love them
I used to visit their church on several occasions, I lived in the neighborhood.
💗
This was so powerful. What a blessing we need more warriors on the battle field for the Lord.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Amen!
This couple resonates with me so much. My husband and I are 8 years apart, we met at the ages 17 and 25, our first born passed away, and I too filed for divorce, but died to self to get my hubby back. My hubby and I are 13 years strong and I pray we are blessed to see 51 years. I thank you both for keeping it LIT🙌🏾🙏🏾
💗
And may God continue to bless yall ❣️
I’ve had so many disappointments in life. I lost my son to suicide. My husband who I loved dearly passed away from a massive heart attack. I haven’t stopped loving God. But to be very transparent, I was beginning to lose hope……that I would find joy in living life again instead of just existing. But after watching the Griffins and listening to them, I know that I know that God still has a plan for me….and that even after huge disappointments I can still have life and have it more abundantly. My heart was broken but I am in the hands of the Great Physician who is healing and restoring me. Thank you for this powerful and anointed episode. And yes, I used to work at Blue Cross. They called Ron Griffin the Silver Gray Fox back in the day and a lot of women were after him😂 I was just a kid then but I see there could only be one woman that God made for Pastor Ron…..Linda you are the BEST….spicy, real, transparent and loving. Blessings to the both of you and THANK YOU.
This episode set the standard & expectation for what I desire in my life. I am affirming that God will bless me with a marriage as strong, intentional & beautiful as this! ❤️🙌🏾
I love this couple. When God puts a marriage together, the whole journey is a MIRACLE! Absolute phenomenal interview! Love them!
"Count your blessings, but never your disappointments!"....Seeing this video 10+ months later, and this hit home 🙌🏽
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much King for airing this episode, I can totally identify. I’m from Ontario Canada, May of “2018” I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer which spread to my brain. The doctors said there’s nothing they can do for me, and gave me a certain time to live. To cut a long story short, I’m still here today, praising my Jesus, and giving thanks to Almighty God. I refuse to die! Death cannot touch me, it’s not my time to go, my purpose is not yet finished. I want to get married again, and I asked the Lord for another chance to do it right. I now have the understanding that marriage is more than have sex legally, it is designed by God, to show off Christ and the church.
Praying for you, that God grant you many days and fill you with your heart's desire.
Thank you so much @ Alison. Blessings’
Praise God
We thank God for your life
AMAZING TESTIMONY!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
LONGEVITY = LOVE•GEVITY
There is a lot I've learned from this story of striving, believing, communication, and love. Nearly 52 years of marriage and still standing strong on the foundation of love. This is what you don't see and hear enough of on these social media platforms/handles. If only true love got more exposure...where would we be as men & women.
Man, I agree with you!!
@@wshelby83 It's a real life movie of laboring for love.
@@chrisparker6249 yh man! Love that stands the test of time!
@@wshelby83 Absolutely!
Totally agree we need more of this.
I loved the part when grandma said “all things flow from his pocket”😂❤️
I just love them🥺 What a beautiful love story and I love how they centre everything around God.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
55:47 I love how Grandpa Ron knew exactly why Grandma Linda wanted a divorce. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
At least he cared enough to try and succeeded 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@beattnuttz3926 Huh? That was my point; he cared.
@@Dr.Elaine1 yup.. simply agreeing
@@beattnuttz3926 Thanks.
He was cordial tho and very classy in my opinion for NOT saying the obvious.
I'm in my office laughing so out loud! OMG! They're officially my cyber grandparents! I love them. They have blessed me TODAY! Laterras, thank you for bringing them to your podcast!
Yesss indeed!!
Facts!
Undeniably the best 2 hours I’ve spent gaining a plethora of knowledge, laughter, understanding and patience. These 2 people…testimony at its finest!❤
You can tell not only do they love each other but they actually like and respect each other.
Every year they we’re together….
Respect all day…
They are HILARIOUS and quick witted…. I love them!!
Amen.
I’m upset that I can only like this once. This episode is EVERYTHING! We laughed, cried, worshipped all the things. They are truly an anointed, open loving inspiring couple. Hunter thank you so much for sharing them. Latteras God bless you for this awesome podcast and thank you for sharing your heart you are helping so many. Ps, we love your laugh so much. ❤
Just finished watching this. Man, I’m still processing this. I’m am so grateful for this platform to hear others testimonies on love. It’s truly helping to soften my heart and give me hope. This couple reminded my of me grandparents…so much love. Deep love. I’ll have to watch this again to catch everything. Thank you.
They're such a beautiful, intellectual, and spiritual couple! The epitome of the word "power couple"!
#agree #saythatagain #truepowercouple #ijs 🤷🏾♀️
Exactly!!
I hope folks aren't just hanging on to their stories about the good times, but also the challenges. To file for divorce after 20 years, him, not leaving the house in spite of that and her choosing to rekindle their marriage is no easy thing. Loving someone in spite of the flaws is real love. There's a lot of negotiating between we're not getting along and divorce.
I agree! Their testimony is a blessing. That being said, their testimony is not to convince those that are in unhealthy relationships or marriages to stay. Their marriage was built on trust and respect and that is why they’ve made it thus far.
Yes, going through the good and the bad in marriage is worth it! Every relationship, whether married or not goes through. We have been married for 10 years and it is not easy; like you said, love people in spite of their flaws :)
Grandpa Ronald and Grandma Linda are the epitome of GREATNESS. Thank you for this interview.
“Count your blessings and never your disappointments”
“There’s HOPE after the HURT” wow✨🌻
Grandma Linda and Paw Paw Ronald, I understood the cancer story. My youngest daughter had cancer and I refuse to eat or Cook 👩🏽🍳 in front of her. We still fast together when she has her checkup. She is 8 years cancer free. She is currently ten years old.
🙌🏽
This is not to boast. I’m 43, married for 17yrs together for 20, previously divorced from a marriage of defiance, I was to young. Love this podcast. They speak so much truth from their hearts and from God. “You can’t hug unless you’ve experienced loss, grief or hurt”.
And their experience of Gods plan. Mirrors my own, I gave up my good job to walk the path with God and now I’m a Children, Youth and Families Pastor, I have never been so fulfilled in my life.
May God continue to bless this couple!!!
“Never lose your sense of humor, no matter what you’re going through” Grandpa Ron. I needed to hear that.❤️ This is absolutely the most beautiful episode. So many 💎💎💎.
This is by far my favorite episode! They need a series. This is what the world needs again. The love, power, wisdom and honesty. Just everything!
Grandpa Ronald BLESSED my heart! He spoke my language. When God takes us through challenges He is testing our posture. One year later I'm STILL shocking the doctors because of how my body is healing from Stage 4 Metastasis Gastric Cancer, Ulcer and H. Pylori Bacteria. My testimony is that God didn't tell me to worry so I didn't because God Is...He Chose Me To Live!!!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!! 🙏🏽💖🙏🏽
This episode blessed me! My husband and I have been married for 16 years and the wisdom these two imparted was so needed. Marriage takes work. It’s a give and take. It’s not easy, but with the right partner, it’s worth it. I’m currently going through a medical condition right now and Grandpa Ron’s testimony blessed me. We need more of these types of conversations to happen in and out of the church. I firmly believe that when we can hear stories of coming out in the other side of trials and how to treat our spouses, we’d have less divorce. Loved this episode so much! I could listen to them all day! ❤
Ohh my God, thank you Future Wifey Podcast,l needed the affirmation that l need not to SETTLE for anything than the BEST as lm going through an unexpected break up where l was somehow considering resuscitate it.
This episode❣️❣️❣️❣️ I don’t know how this is going to be topped. This was such a Blessing. Thank you grandma Linda and Grandpa Ron and Laterras for the wisdom.
My husband and I are newly married and this episode was such a blessing and inspiration to our marriage journey! Praying for as much happiness and love when we reach 51 years!
This might be the absolute best one. True honesty from a couple who have seen the battlefield. I love how they acknowledged God as the one who brought them through every battle ❤ these two
So true because many base it on luck
This podcast has given me life you hear me???!!! I have laughed and cried!! I'm a 35 year old dialysis patient and I'm at Dialysis this moment and this has made the time go by gracefully. It has allowed me to appreciate my husband of 9 years in March and our journey even more! Thank you so much for this!!
I pray you get healed sis❤️
Hummmmmmmmm baby sendinggggg a lot of love!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me& my husband enjoyed watching this😂🙏🏾🙂we are on year 7, And divorce isn’t an option for us.
OUR FIRST MARRIAGE WILL BE OUR ONLY MARRIAGE.
This video was good🧎🏾♀️
I criiiieeeddd like a baby! This episode is the epitome of a beautiful marriage under God because they kept overcoming together and they continue to reconnect after trials and did so intentionally. They trust each other, respect each other, are display kind acts of service for one another. This is how you stay married for 51+ years! Oh, I'm taking notes! I've been married for 9+ years and counting. You all blessed me! Thank you so much!
"Count your blessings, but never your disappointments." So many gems were dropped during this episode but that 'bombshell' resonated within the innermost core of my spirit. Whoa!!! Thanks Dear Future Wifey for having this beautiful couple pour from their hearts unto mine. This was an outpouring of timeless wisdom!
Blessings from 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
Laterass’s giggles are so infectious! Love them!
So glad to see Laterras laughing so hard. 😂 laughter is a good medicine for the soul. That was a great couple to invite in his podcast in such a time like this. They had gold nuggets on an enduring loving relationship. It was never perfect but their love and their obedience to God kept them together. Look at them now. Such a blessing to have them the podcast. I laughed so hard too and my whole day was brightened up!
I 100% agree. I don’t think I’ve ever heard laterras laugh so genuinely. My heart warmed for him. And yea I laughed too. Those two are hilarious
Eve, you have to see the episode with the young lady whose weave fell off. You have not seen laughter from the host like you will on that show. And be ready, don't pee your pants because that guest is soooo funny, especially after her weave fell behind the sofa..😳😲🥰
God knew we ALL needed this couple & their voices... ive learned ALOT from this episode
Thankyou so much for this , I literally just got out the hospital yesterday, pregnant with heart failure with an injection fraction rate less than 20%. I’m married to a man I believe I was supposed to stand for in marriage but no longer have a desire to. I realized I stop praying because I seen no results , I’m still not sure what I wanna do as far as divorce but I do know you spoke to me and encouraged me deeply . Thanks for having this amazing couple on. Too many years ahead love Letitia!
Where do I begin! This episode blessed me so much!! On the first day of this year, I remarried my former ex-husband. We too had irreconcilable differences. FOOLISHNESS!! God knew! It is truly a GOD THING!! Marriage is a ministry and this thing is so much bigger than us!!
Thank you. Not only was it entertaining but this episode confirmed so much for me! I pray blessings over their ministry and yours. I am excited to see what God has in store!!
Lord!! I cried and then I laughed!! I been married to my husband for 26 years!! This episode made me realize we will forever grow in our relationship!! The love of God is so powerful!! Wow!!
I’m 26 years old and I just got out of a continuous situation with my daughters father. I’ve been hooked on your videos binge watching, I’ve never been married but I have this feeling over me that’s making me dive into learning more about marriage and hearing peoples stories. I feel marriage is something I’m starting to want more and more, and the feeling grows the more I watch your videos. Thank you for this atmosphere for young and old to come and learn, grow, and heal in some way just by listening to peoples journeys and testimonies.
Yo! This episode kept poppin’ up on my timeline and I refused to watch it-for no particular reason. But I heard the Spirit say, “Watch it! There’s a lot of gems in there for you.” Maaaan, I’m so grateful I was obedient and finally watched. I learned so much about the Most High’s love, obedience, trust, sacrifice, true love, the Most High’s will for our lives as opposed to our own plans, faith, family, forgiveness,patience and endurance. Man! This was awesome. All praises to the Most High!
Same here, I skipped it for several days. So glad I listened
😂Same! 🙏🏾
Same! But when The Spirit of The Lord keeps pushing… mmmh, u gotta obey!😊
Dito 😂
I cried so much during this podcast!!! It just puts a smile on my face to see that longevity in marriage is possible. God Bless them.
Grandma Linda is so hilarious. Totally enjoyed this episode. So many pearls of wisdom in this 1 hour 52 minute instalment
When I tell you I haven’t moved since I clicked on this episode. This is such a healing episode. When God has given me the ability to believe in marriage again. I’m so thankful to know God will give me a marriage that will give God glory . The reason why I say that is because he gave me a testimony in 2019 and the story is still developing . But I know my marriage will give God glory . The way God is still using this couple in their 51 years in marriage. As well as this podcast .. the way tears are flowing as you all ended in prayer .. it’s more I can say ..but whew
And that point on fasting Jesus
This beautiful. So many people will stop talking to good people over the smallest things and trust me when I say the smallest things. You got to be resilient. Let's take notes people.
I'm 39 and I've been married for 16 years! This here couple, is the truth!!!! God bless them🙌🏾
There has been some amazing guests on this podcast, but this is by far my favorite episode and couple. I laughed and almost cried. This level of love and commitment is what we all pray for. 💗💗
22 minutes in and the tears keep flowing. Thank you for your transparency Grandma and Grandpa. Your story opened my eyes WIDE to the Power and the Blessings of God.
Exactly what I told my son
Amen!!! PHEW!!!
Watching this in 2024 on 31 August from Zimbabwe. Been married 12yrs and l am encouraged to push forward
Authentic love is the best love! To see a couple who tells you the unadulterated truth is amazing! I love this couple! Us young married couples needed this!!! They are giving us the good, bad, & ugly and I’ve loved every minute of it!!!
There aren't enough words to describe how powerful this interview was. So many lessons to learn and so many gems to treasure. I'm not the same and I'm thankful that I came across this podcast! All the best in Jamaica! 🇯🇲
One love 🇯🇲
This story defines the relationship I share with my husband. The highs and lows, age differences of 14 years 9 months his junior, and cultural up bringing. We experienced power struggles, sickness, unemployment and grief, Together.
We became best friends after the first 5 years, and as I write this message in year 13 of marriage , we STILL choose one another and work hard at our marriage.
We've learned that what affects one, affects the other and we take it to the LORD, in Prayers❤
OMG! Look at you Laterras, It is so nice to see you Full of Smiles and Laughter, not to mention the glow that I am seeing, you go Laterras. God will get you through it. This couple is amazing❤. God bless them❤️❤️.
I love this couple! 20 minutes in and They have blessed me immensely ❤️
Yes!!!! Me too 🥰
@@nicoleprice354 Right! An absolute Blessing 💕
I just started shouting!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You give me and my husband hope, as a newlywed of 2 years, and a late bloomer - First time married in my 40s. Thank you for the inspiration!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The podcast I never knew I needed!! I been married 24 years and I’m so committed to keep on pushing❤ Thank you for this. It’s such a confirmation of all God speaks to me daily in my marriage 🙌🏽🫶🏽
The host's laughter is so infectious. Anytime am tempted to be mad about trivial things I just watch and it has a positive impact on me.
I have laughed, cried, been poured into, but most of all blessed by this episode! Hope has been restored to my heart. I thank you for your wisdom, sharing your journey and most of all being real with your walk🙏🏽
WOW!!! I've been married for 27 years, and I promise they just told the story of how my husband and I met and married even down to my husband now being a pastor. I pray🙏🏾 that we will continue to mirror this beautiful man and woman of GOD. Thank you 😊 💓
That's awesome!!!
Her husband here, my wife just told me that i had to see this. She was absolutely right. BUT GOD!
@@DanielSmith-kw1wx many blessings to the both of you!! You an example right here!
17 years in, and they spoke a lot our life as well
I love this episode for a million reasons. One thing that it has done was to help me to see my mother and father in a different light. It brought me to a place of honoring them and respecting them in their choices as a married couple. It healed some things in me about my mom that was destroying our relationship. Now, I respect her choice to protect her husband, my dad, as fiercely as she does. I can see them on a different level because of this beautiful couple. I am praying for God to truly reconcile me and my mom as he thaws my heart towards her and my dad. I don’t want to miss out on the treasures that they have to give me in their almost 38 year marriage for my marriage. I definitely see God in this episode. There is hope in unfailing love. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💜
I wish I heard messages like this before I got married. This was AMAZING! I have been enlightened and empowered. I thank God for this channel.
This lady is a treasure and I love to hear the way she finesses a story.
What a wonderful couple. I love their sense of humor, love, transparency, testimonies, teachable moments, and nuggets. This was awesome 👏🏽
Part 2 please!
The best episode ever and to ever be ❤ The wealth of knowledge is unfathomable from this beautiful couple. I love them and appreciate everything they have bestowed upon us. They are an absolute 💎 gem.
I absolutely loved this episode 💕. This is the kind of truth that is necessary to make a long term relationship work... trust and respect = Love!!! Thank you for sharing your stories to help us live better lives.
This couple exudes the goodness of God! I love the way they both care for each other and display their love. This is one in a million. I hope that all singles, including myself, would be blessed to have this one day. Many blessings to them and to all of your viewers. God is GOOD!
Lord I'm just a few minutes in and I'm already crying. When she said, "He is my earthly hero....I believe he can do anything." Whew! We use the term relationship goals too loosely but this couple is truly relationship goals! Ok...let me keep watching... lol
“It’s not about the size of the house it’s about the size of your obedience” ❤❤❤❤❤ that’s Good!
Every young man, whether you desire to be married or not, needs to watch this! It will bless your life man.
They both have youthful spirits. I love them.
By far, this is the best episode I've watched on DFW. The authenticity, redemption and hope in it. 💕
The realness of this conversation is blessing me.
Unfailing Love with the Griffins was absolutely beautiful!!! God is so Awesome!!! I cried so many times during this episode because it really spoke to me!!! Count are blessings and not our disappointments. Listen to our husbands, she gave up a dream home to have a home build from the ground up. Obedience, Respect, Trust, and Love 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜
“Count your BLESSINGS, but never your disappointments”. They dropping so many gems but this is one I needed myself to hold tight to.
We need more people sharing this type of narrative like Laterras. It's beautiful seeing a man bring this and share so honesty
Thank you for this couple, they have blessed me and blessed my marriage. Thank you, Dear Future Wifey for Obedience . It takes alignment in God to get content this rich to bless generations. I am 34 years old, married 4 years and now looking forward to 51 years and more of a beautiful Godly marriage. God bless you LRW.
This is soooo beautiful! My parents were high school sweethearts and will have been married for 54years on Jan 31st in a loving faithful marriage! I absolutely love this and believe in Love! Thanks for sharing!
This Episode was EVERYTHING‼️ It was a Blessing I had to pass on to my son and his wife‼️ My daughter in Love wrote me for the 1st time and told me how it really helped her. Thank you Sincerely for this Episode ‼️
