I’m a 24 year old virgin, and man I ain’t finna lie😅 the hunger has been unbelievable! It’s been hard, but every time I talk to other guys about it, at first it’s an argument of disbelief, then it goes to “how you do it” then it’s “I wish I were you man ”. It then reminds me why I’ve been abstaining for so long. How beautiful will it be to be able to tell my kids that their mother is the only person I’ve been with, and they were the result of it. “How will you know if you’re going to lay it down if you haven’t had sex before?” Well, look at it like this. If you go around enjoying different ice cream flavours, you won’t be able to appreciate the one God intended for your taste buds. The best way to kill something is to compare it.🤷🏽♂️ If it’s both our first time, we get to learn one another, together. Without any comparison!
Amen brotha. I’m 22 and wish I could go back. Practicing celibacy now but there’s nothing like waiting for that special person and time. Keep goin man💯💪🏿
I applaud you! Continue to hold on to your virginity for the special person God has for you! Because like many, I too, wish I could have held my virginity for my special person! I know it’s hard but you got this . Stay close to God word, ensure that your community meaning the people you associate with understand and respect your moral and values! If they go against what you know to be right according to the WORD, it’s time to remove yourself. Blessing
@@joemilleriv The blood that was shed on that cross has already wiped it all away brother! You got this! Also, thank you man, let’s stay rooted in the Christ!
@@patricerodgers6099 I too applaud you for turning a new leaf! You’ve got this. Thank you so much! You know what’s beautiful about having a relationship with Christ? The endless Grace and Love!
My husband just told me he wants a divorce. I am devastated. I am a believer but he isn’t - I have not been perfect. Please pray for us if you see this 💔
Hey love. I just did for you. God is the God of what seems impossible. I’m a newlywed myself, but my husband and I went through some EXTREME rough patches for years before we got married that made me want to leave him several times. At one point I pretty much did. The Bible says that by faith a woman shall save her husband, 1 Corinthians 7:14-16. And no, I don’t go around thumping scripture lol. That’s just one of a few I am keen on. I’m sure you’ve heard of what it means to be unequally yoked, but I am not saying that to make you feel bad. While that is true and it can make things harder, God is ABLE and He can bring those that don’t believe to Him through those of us that do. You have not been perfect? Sweetheart, none of us have or ever will be. That is common for EVERY one of us walking this earth. Even in my relationship I wasn’t perfect to him either, no matter what he did or didn’t do. What you have been is the only Bible and sermon your husband has likely read or heard or seen or listened to. He qualified you to be the believer your husband chose to marry, flaws and all. That means something. Don’t doubt God. Trust Jesus, and His will be done, whether you are meant to stay in your marriage or not. But I am a very optimistic person and I believe it will turn around even at the midnight hour 😊.
I've watched Preston and Jackie's relationship and she's softened in her demeanor over the years. It's almost like their marriage is healing her from her past.
That's the way it should be, The husband helps the wife heal, through his unconditional love, and the wife is there for the husband as well through her respecting him. And with communicating and hearing each others hearts, and validating each other.
Awesomely transparent conversation! I agree "the Church" should be doing more to prepare but not before being an honest example of what marriage is. Maybe the first step can be a seasoned couple mentoring; walk alongside a newly wedded couple; creating boundaries of course. ❤️
Many men try, then the women they try this with get taken by men who simply state they would prefer to start being in a relationship instead of being friends first
@@meh3766 my point is, you were friends with the purpose of getting to know each other to later be in a relationship. Since she gets taken, you've wasted a lot of time on the wrong woman The friendship route is a waste of time
I lost my attitude problem bc the way my husband would humble himself when I was upset or shut down about something. One time this man even brought me home roses bc I had an attitude and felt bad about it 😭 I could NOT stay mad. He apologizes anytime he’s out of line and when he’s wrong he’ll recognize it and change it. It rlly humbled me in return and inspired me to be more Godly
I been married for 1 year and it has been difficult. You have to look God to fulfill all your needs and know that no human being could ever love you the way God does. It's important to love God above everyone and everything.
@@thensaidJacob the usual: $, sex, kids (if they have any), in-laws. If you're gonna marry, take her to divorce court. Open to the public. Free premarital counseling. Talk through the issues. Dose of reality I swear, lol
I think that he is absolutely right that the role of the husband culturally is not esteemed. There is so much focus on being a wife but not the actual role and severity of what a husband should be.
We must stop being so addicted to falling in love!! Marriage is about selfless and sacrifice! If you can’t abide by those tenants you may need to examine your heart!
Marriage works if you put God first. I met my wife when I was not looking and God has moved in so many ways from the day that we met till the day that we got married. I can definitely relate to the purity part this is the kind of podcast that we need
The part where he said don’t act like you’re married before you are really hits and makes so much sense. Give your heart time for what’s about to happen. I was in a whole 4 year situationship and I felt like I was married. But I cut it off..best thing I could’ve done. I felt like it was what I wanted but in reality it’s just holding me back from growing and being who God made me to be.
This man is full of wisdom , God bless him my mind is blown 🤯 with how he correlates Adam and Eve with the answer to the question. ,” are gender roles biblical ?” He made Genesis sound like a whole new book to me , idc how many times I read it . God is so strategic and intentional 🥲 It’s paramount to remember the biblical way verses societies way 💯 . Corruption at its finest
I thought men like this did not exist anymore 😢❤❤❤❤😢😢😢 honestly a lot of men say marriage and monogamy is for Christian people and they are not or they would call it religion but when I read God’s word he shows me otherwise God Bless the men that genuinely believe in your word and marriage let them be examples to what a Godly marriage should be like ❤
As a person who waited until marriage to have sex with my husband, listen God knows what you like!!! My husband is the only one I didn't test drive. He is the BEST lover I have ever had!!! God knows what you want. He got you.
This was encouraging because so many times we get told that our God sent spouse will be people that aren’t attractive as long as their heart is good. But God knows what we like !
@@shaelovesJesus To God be the glory because now I’m excited. I’m so glad I didn’t settle. I heard God sends him when you least expect it, but I surrendered the idea of marriage to the Lord.
This got me excited because I have heard so many times how looks aren't important and sex is also not that important. And it kinda makes me feel a little sad sometimes.
@@charlinecharlostin3188 I definitely wasn't looking for him. I was cool with my focus being God and my daughter. I desired to be married but i was okay if I didn't. It took me along time to be content in singleness. I'm glad I didn't get marry when I wanted to. I wasn't ready then. I had things I needed to heal from before my husband came into the picture.
Great interview. When he said “I became more of a pharaoh-see than Jesus.” That hit home. Women want to be heard and listened to and not needing their partner to fix something majority of the time. What an honest conversation this was.
I love that Mr. Perry kept it real. People think that marriage is going to be perfect and easy because we both love God and that’s not reality. Satan hates marriage so he always going to attack it. If God both husband and wife have a relationship with God and they put him first in the marriage they will overcome anything Satan throws at them.
Great video, I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me,i still love her and most times i cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i dont know why i am bring this here for, i cant stop thinking about her..
If you want a godly marriage I wouldn’t consult a caster or healer- I’m sure God can reveal what is needed if you believe you are suppose to be with your wife. Let the Lord do the work because he knows all things
What Preston said about 'giving your spouse room to grow' made me think of Adam in the garden cultivating and nurturing it to do what God created it to do- flourish and reflect His beauty. Wow. Thank You, Lord.
I always love getting a man/husband’s perspective on Christian marriage but everything you said is sooo true Preston! me and my husband are in year 4 and we FINALLY are coming together as a unit so I’m grateful for the grace of God allowing us both to stick it out. also, pride in a marriage is a real thing. it’s such a stronghold and can be dangerous if God doesn’t deal with your heart
You said a mouthful. Safety matters. Biblical marriages were not always safe as we read. Conversations like this teach us that being secure in womenhood and manhood creates a safe space.
The Godly wisdom that rests on Preston is really amazing. Flesh & blood did not reveal these things to him... definitely Holy Spirit inspired. It’s truly allowing Christ into your real-life experiences... this is the ONLY way for Christian men to truly discover what it means to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Great discussion 👌🏾🔥
I really appreciate what you said about a man reflecting Christ to his wife instead of pointing out her faults. The unconditional love is beautiful 😢. The world needs of this... especially in marriage.
I’m single never been married! I prayed for a wife and crickets!! God answered my prayer, by not answering it! I love my single life and it’s flexibility and lack of drama! Just got back from Berlin Germany!!
A marriage with the Lord inside, also both people on the same frequency is the most beautiful marriage ever to be had. It's built on a solid rock. The rock is Jesus. It takes time to build.
This is phenomenal!!! Whew!! Men and women both can learn from this interview!!! We need more men thinking this way! Men that their worship aligns with their words!! Not perfect men, but men in position to receive their promise all while praising and giving Glory and honor to God!! Whewwwwwwwww!!! This interview needs 10 million views!!!!! 🙏🏽 God, keep using Preston!!!! In Jesus name!!!! I was screaming!! 😫😂😂😂❤️❤️
This was beautiful! Me and my husband watched it together! & it helped us both! We need more transparent BIBLICAL BASE conversations like this! God Bless you both!
Every marriage is very different! Always putting GOD first is crucial!!!! Reflecting on yourself and letting go of selfish desires is also crucial. Sacrifice is a major factor.
I purely understood what they are saying about being a fixers. I am a fixer also. It can cause lots of trouble in your marriage. I had to learn you can't fix people only God can. It is the Holy Spirit's job to fix us.
That was an amazing interview! I believe God has sent me my husband that I am currently dating and going into our relationship it was all flesh. We now have pulled back and sometimes struggle to stay pure and please God. We both love God and want the best for each other. I did all the things described cook, clean, pray and sex. Now being convicted by the Spirit saying you me I am not his wife! Yet 😅 I must demonstrate that yes I showed you all these things and now I’m showing you that I was acting out of my flesh not my spirit. If it’s meant for us to be together than we will. However I want to please God more than I want to get married 🤷🏽♀️
Iron sharpens iron and I promise, since following The Perry’s, I have truly seen beautiful fruit in my (second ) marriage. I truly appreciate their testimony and how they encourage believers to seek God and stand firm on His word. Your ministry has blessed so many, greatly! Thank you❤ Many blessings to you 🙏🏾🕊️
Single 6 years and taking notes!!! God is my foundation so this gives me hope that there really are Christian men out there aiming to fulfill this mission together for God as the Head of our lives
Great interview Preston is very wise and has a lot patience, I guess this is newer podcast? I want to encourage the interviewer to keep going I could tell he was either nervous or did not know what to ask. Either way it’s great to see men talking about the importance of marriage and it’s great that young Christian’s have a platform to turn to🙏🏾
I love how Preston always makes it so clear that he is a good husband because he looks to Jesus as a point of reference and most impactfully that it is through transferable skills. I trully enjoyed this episode. Definetly getting a subscribe from me
When he said look to Jesus for the example as opposed to flawed man, that hit me differently than ever before. Thinking about raising my kids and who they should seek when me and their father are not available to turn to, we don’t even have all the answers and dont always get it right. But God… HE is who we look for when we’re all out of logical ideas and so should it be for our children. Married, happily for 6 years with battles along the way but so glad God placed us together to get through it all. Marriage The greatest relationship I’ve experienced next to motherhood and Godly one, it’s so revealing and inspiring to be better everyday for God and ourselves and our legacy 🙌🏾 what has helped me daily is to recognize that I am flawed first and it will open an eye for grace and humility
This is helpful...Im a middle aged female who has has other relationships but not really one that includes God proper to be honest...I had to sit in an uncomfortable space to listen, praying and blocking defensive old news thoughts...I am wanting to move towards New news...the unmarried guy was super funny and cheered me up, but now I know there's no freaking way I know what im doing, no wonder im single...lol...but in saying that its one of the best conversations I've listened to...so thank Youse...✌💞😃
Appreciate ya brotha!! Also with the living together thing I totally agree I tried to do that in my previous relationship and I’ll tell you what God will shake things sometimes when it’s not in order just to keep u on the right path!
It is the worst thing to do I know I been living it! It produces horrible outcomes Most of the time...rarely does it turn out right in the future 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
As a woman, I’ve often had that same thought that I’m glad I don’t have the responsibility of being a husband. When God gives instruction to two people and one of them is to be like Jesus, that’s tough. There’s a big amount of respect demanded for a man who actually walks in that. I’m glad it doesn’t have to be me, but even more so I honor that role. Truly, the better a man walks in what God called him to do in marriage, the easier it is for a woman to. Literally how Jesus’s love for the church draws the church to submit to Him.
PRESTON THAT WAS DEEP🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😭😭😭 I’VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SCRIPTURE THAT WAY!!! Meaning when I submit to my husband as unto the Lord…that it submitting to the SACRIFICIAL LOVE OF GOD 👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽
the maturity and wisdom that God gave to Preston Perry as a husband, leader of his household is reverencing, encouragng submission and for me as a woman to assist my husband to become this kind of leader when in marriage. marriage is can look different to so many people but the question is... Is it honouring God?
The guy at 52 minutes is so right. Some women do want to be treated like a wife while dating. But I think what they truly want is security. In my opinion, women will give wife privileges too soon out of fear. If they don’t do it, another woman will which leads to a false sense of security. You’re sleeping with him, moved in with him, and cook for him, so he’s not leaving. This then leads to some men prolonging marriage for 5yrs, 10yrs, 20yrs, etc. I know so many women who settle in these situations. The man takes forever to lead the relationship in that direction because they don’t need to.
I love this conversation, marriage is beautiful. I needed this. I share with my husband. We need more of this discussion between men. Thanks for having this conversation
When people say test drive and how will you know if it's good etc.. In my opinion sex doesn't keep a marriage or a relationship. If you feel as though you're not connected to a person unless you are having sex with them or touching them then that's not a good foundation to build your relationship on. Relationships need a genuine connection in order to sustain a relationship. This includes a genuine unconditional love and respect for one another. These things outlast any thing that's tangible because trust me you see marriage and relationships fall apart everyday and I guarantee it wasn't because of sex.
Man I learned so much from this. I already knew that as a man I have so much authority when comes this aspect I just didn’t know the depth of it this is really groundbreaking and I’m glad I’ve seen this video. Really deepened my knowledge on how to conduct a kingdom relationship and be a kingdom leader. Much love brothers in christ!!!!
I was JUST having a conversation with my friend about marriage and some of the topics I'm hearing here. Wow. The Holy Spirit talking and I'm all ears🙏🏾
Timeline 23:00m Q: Is living with partner before marriage ok? No! Another way to phrase the question is normally called "try before you buy" "seeing if the shoe fits" I've learnt from many friends who've done the full relationship thing before they got married... that made it difficult and caused them to break up!!!
Great interview. How wonderful to see men of God be who God called them to be. In grace love and wisdom. Glory to God. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview
Super refreshing and we need so much MORE of this for our men!!! I pray GOD really impresses on Preston's heart to start something to mentor our men...
The reason why so many of us worry about how sex will be in marriage it’s because we spend so much time fornicating, watching pornography, and just expose ourselves to so much sexual immorality. The cure for all of that is to live a Godly life. If both the man and the woman weren’t fornicating before marriage then whatever happens sex wise in their marriage will be good to them because that’s all they know. If you’re reading and you have and still are fornicating (like I used), it’s not too late. REPENT and submit to Jesus. Start living a life consecrated to Jesus and He will purify your desires and you’ll look at sex differently. Live Godly Lives!!
“Stop looking at flawed men and how they failed is not going to teach you how to be a good father. Looking at Jesus, the perfect example, will teach you how to be a good father!”👏🏾👏🏾💯💯

I wish the church prepared us ALL better for marriage!
I've watched Preston and Jackie's relationship and she's softened in her demeanor over the years. It's almost like their marriage is healing her from her past.
I agree soo much!! its kinda amazing to see
Marriage to the right person
You can tell when a marriage centers God because it’s a blessing and a ministry to all involved! I love that Preston and Jackie were friends first.
That's the way it should be, The husband helps the wife heal, through his unconditional love, and the wife is there for the husband as well through her respecting him. And with communicating and hearing each others hearts, and validating each other.

The Godly wisdom that rests on Preston is really amazing. Flesh & blood did not reveal these things to him... definitely Holy Spirit inspired. It’s truly allowing Christ into your real-life experiences... this is the ONLY way for Christian men to truly discover what it means to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Great discussion 👌🏾🔥
I really appreciate what you said about a man reflecting Christ to his wife instead of pointing out her faults. The unconditional love is beautiful 😢. The world needs of this... especially in marriage.
I’m single never been married! I prayed for a wife and crickets!! God answered my prayer, by not answering it! I love my single life and it’s flexibility and lack of drama! Just got back from Berlin Germany!!
I love when Preston and Jackie speak!!! They are both soooo full of wisdom!
Conversations like this our essential,
God bless the both of you.
A marriage with the Lord inside, also both people on the same frequency is the most beautiful marriage ever to be had. It's built on a solid rock. The rock is Jesus. It takes time to build.
This is phenomenal!!! Whew!! Men and women both can learn from this interview!!! We need more men thinking this way! Men that their worship aligns with their words!! Not perfect men, but men in position to receive their promise all while praising and giving Glory and honor to God!! Whewwwwwwwww!!! This interview needs 10 million views!!!!! 🙏🏽 God, keep using Preston!!!! In Jesus name!!!! I was screaming!! 😫😂😂😂❤️❤️
When Preston said that Jackie shut down after getting married, I felt that. The vulnerability make me the same way. I was scared!!!! 😂
Preston speaks with much wisdom. 🙏🏽
I'm in tears!!! That's really Christ's love!!! ❤
This was beautiful! Me and my husband watched it together! & it helped us both! We need more transparent BIBLICAL BASE conversations like this! God Bless you both!
I’m a wife and this convo is on point, we as a nation need to humble ourselves and pray. God help us all to follow your lead.🙏🏽❤️
Every marriage is very different! Always putting GOD first is crucial!!!! Reflecting on yourself and letting go of selfish desires is also crucial. Sacrifice is a major factor.
Gentlemen that's for the episode! Great information and thanks for sharing!
I purely understood what they are saying about being a fixers. I am a fixer also. It can cause lots of trouble in your marriage. I had to learn you can't fix people only God can. It is the Holy Spirit's job to fix us.
Yes!!! Christ like leadership is sacrificial and sometimes it’s not always about getting the credit. That spoke to me! Speak on it!! God is good!
That was an amazing interview! I believe God has sent me my husband that I am currently dating and going into our relationship it was all flesh. We now have pulled back and sometimes struggle to stay pure and please God. We both love God and want the best for each other. I did all the things described cook, clean, pray and sex. Now being convicted by the Spirit saying you me I am
not his wife! Yet 😅 I must demonstrate that yes I showed you all these things and now I’m showing you that I was acting out of my flesh not my spirit. If it’s meant for us to be together than we will. However I want to please God more than I want to get married 🤷🏽♀️
Preston just set me free in my parenting with that story his aunt told him. Thank you.
Iron sharpens iron and I promise, since following The Perry’s, I have truly seen beautiful fruit in my (second ) marriage. I truly appreciate their testimony and how they encourage believers to seek God and stand firm on His word. Your ministry has blessed so many, greatly! Thank you❤ Many blessings to you 🙏🏾🕊️
This man is allowing me to grow and giving me to room to come out of my shell.” Great advice on how patient a spouse should be.
It can only be God who can give you such wisdom and understanding!
Brothers laying down the True Principles, Language and Laws of Marriage... Yesssss, Brothers and Sisters ListenUP!💯🗝 🙌🏽💪🏽🙏🏽
That’s powerful Preston!
Single 6 years and taking notes!!!
God is my foundation so this gives me hope that there really are Christian men out there aiming to fulfill this mission together for God as the Head of our lives
The Holy Spirit spoke straight through you on this one timely and so insightful. Thank you 🙏🏾
Great interview Preston is very wise and has a lot patience, I guess this is newer podcast? I want to encourage the interviewer to keep going I could tell he was either nervous or did not know what to ask. Either way it’s great to see men talking about the importance of marriage and it’s great that young Christian’s have a platform to turn to🙏🏾
Lol I think maybe he was just really excited because he admires Preston
I love how Preston always makes it so clear that he is a good husband because he looks to Jesus as a point of reference and most impactfully that it is through transferable skills. I trully enjoyed this episode. Definetly getting a subscribe from me
Wife/husband will come if you don’t idolize it but be the person God wants you to be and that will attract that person much faster than our own way
This message is so powerful! Praise God, I needed to hear this. 🙌
When he said look to Jesus for the example as opposed to flawed man, that hit me differently than ever before. Thinking about raising my kids and who they should seek when me and their father are not available to turn to, we don’t even have all the answers and dont always get it right. But God… HE is who we look for when we’re all out of logical ideas and so should it be for our children. Married, happily for 6 years with battles along the way but so glad God placed us together to get through it all. Marriage The greatest relationship I’ve experienced next to motherhood and Godly one, it’s so revealing and inspiring to be better everyday for God and ourselves and our legacy 🙌🏾 what has helped me daily is to recognize that I am flawed first and it will open an eye for grace and humility
This is helpful...Im a middle aged female who has has other relationships but not really one that includes God proper to be honest...I had to sit in an uncomfortable space to listen, praying and blocking defensive old news thoughts...I am wanting to move towards New news...the unmarried guy was super funny and cheered me up, but now I know there's no freaking way I know what im doing, no wonder im single...lol...but in saying that its one of the best conversations I've listened to...so thank Youse...✌💞😃
Appreciate ya brotha!! Also with the living together thing I totally agree I tried to do that in my previous relationship and I’ll tell you what God will shake things sometimes when it’s not in order just to keep u on the right path!
It is the worst thing to do I know I been living it! It produces horrible outcomes Most of the time...rarely does it turn out right in the future 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I don't know why I'm even watching this but it's too good to scroll past.🤷🏽♀️
As a woman, I’ve often had that same thought that I’m glad I don’t have the responsibility of being a husband. When God gives instruction to two people and one of them is to be like Jesus, that’s tough. There’s a big amount of respect demanded for a man who actually walks in that. I’m glad it doesn’t have to be me, but even more so I honor that role. Truly, the better a man walks in what God called him to do in marriage, the easier it is for a woman to. Literally how Jesus’s love for the church draws the church to submit to Him.
PRESTON THAT WAS DEEP🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😭😭😭 I’VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SCRIPTURE THAT WAY!!! Meaning when I submit to my husband as unto the Lord…that it submitting to the SACRIFICIAL LOVE OF GOD 👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽
This was awesome. Mr. Perry has so much wisdom and insightful understanding. Issues that my relationship is incurring right now.
Need more of these convos. A gem for this generation
the maturity and wisdom that God gave to Preston Perry as a husband, leader of his household is reverencing, encouragng submission and for me as a woman to assist my husband to become this kind of leader when in marriage. marriage is can look different to so many people but the question is... Is it honouring God?
The guy at 52 minutes is so right. Some women do want to be treated like a wife while dating. But I think what they truly want is security. In my opinion, women will give wife privileges too soon out of fear. If they don’t do it, another woman will which leads to a false sense of security. You’re sleeping with him, moved in with him, and cook for him, so he’s not leaving. This then leads to some men prolonging marriage for 5yrs, 10yrs, 20yrs, etc. I know so many women who settle in these situations. The man takes forever to lead the relationship in that direction because they don’t need to.
I love this conversation, marriage is beautiful. I needed this. I share with my husband. We need more of this discussion between men. Thanks for having this conversation
Preston, you keep saying that churches need to prepare people better for marriages in SO many podcasts.
This topic should be your next book!
That would be an amazing book!
This was GOOD! And what he said toward the end about not treating a woman like she’s your wife before marriage is a perspective I never heard before
When people say test drive and how will you know if it's good etc.. In my opinion sex doesn't keep a marriage or a relationship. If you feel as though you're not connected to a person unless you are having sex with them or touching them then that's not a good foundation to build your relationship on. Relationships need a genuine connection in order to sustain a relationship. This includes a genuine unconditional love and respect for one another. These things outlast any thing that's tangible because trust me you see marriage and relationships fall apart everyday and I guarantee it wasn't because of sex.
Facts…
We have to normalize that marriage/relationships are not perfect!!!! They’re work & teach us to love someone unconditionally!!
8:59-9:05 is a gold bar for all Biblical marriages for all time.
Hard truths here- who can endure it? Amen brother Preston.👍
Let's talk about it alot of people are healing and this is a healthy conversation 🙏🏾
Man I learned so much from this. I already knew that as a man I have so much authority when comes this aspect I just didn’t know the depth of it this is really groundbreaking and I’m glad I’ve seen this video. Really deepened my knowledge on how to conduct a kingdom relationship and be a kingdom leader. Much love brothers in christ!!!!
📢📢📢Please go spread the word to the other brothers
Because they are struggling to lead spiritually
A lot of wisdom has been shared. I’m so appreciative.
I was JUST having a conversation with my friend about marriage and some of the topics I'm hearing here. Wow. The Holy Spirit talking and I'm all ears🙏🏾
Timeline 23:00m
Q: Is living with partner before marriage ok? No!
Another way to phrase the question is normally called "try before you buy" "seeing if the shoe fits"
I've learnt from many friends who've done the full relationship thing before they got married... that made it difficult and caused them to break up!!!
Great interview. How wonderful to see men of God be who God called them to be. In grace love and wisdom. Glory to God. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview
“Your spouse’ sin will always expose yours”….👍🏿
Thanks Bro Perry for keeping things Jesus real.
I could listen to this gentleman all day. He has sooo much wisdom!
Bless y’all. This is good for a lot of single Christians to watch as well. Thank you 🙏🏽
"Love sacrificially"🔥🔥🔥🔥😭
Come on Preston Perry!!!!... yes sir!!! So much wisdom!!!
It is refreshing to hear such wisdom
Super refreshing and we need so much MORE of this for our men!!! I pray GOD really impresses on Preston's heart to start something to mentor our men...
This was lovely. The interviewer asked such good questions and of course Preston dropped the gems 💎
The reason why so many of us worry about how sex will be in marriage it’s because we spend so much time fornicating, watching pornography, and just expose ourselves to so much sexual immorality. The cure for all of that is to live a Godly life. If both the man and the woman weren’t fornicating before marriage then whatever happens sex wise in their marriage will be good to them because that’s all they know.
If you’re reading and you have and still are fornicating (like I used), it’s not too late. REPENT and submit to Jesus. Start living a life consecrated to Jesus and He will purify your desires and you’ll look at sex differently.
Live Godly Lives!!
Amen!🙏🏼 💯
wow this a so powerful, Love Preston !! he is so filed with wisdom
This man taught me some things today, first time hearing perry speak! Great show 👏
“Stop looking at flawed men and how they failed is not going to teach you how to be a good father. Looking at Jesus, the perfect example, will teach you how to be a good father!”👏🏾👏🏾💯💯
