      She isn't one in a million. She is a real wife. We don't leave because the steaks turned into hot dogs and beans. We started with hot dogs and we can finish with hot dogs. As long as we finish together. That is the problem with some of these folks. The relationship doesn't start until you start to struggle. It is that growth that builds the love and trust.
      My husband and I got our first house in a small city. It isn't in the greatest of neighborhoods. The house is a dump but it is our home. We purchased this house while waiting for the housing market to collapse. It is a dump but it is our dump. We slept in the kitchen on a matress. The house is an old wooden house so we had to close all the doors to conserve heat. When he lost his job. I was able to continue to keep up with the bills. He took the kids to travel to Texas to see his folks. We even planned that he took enough cash to get there and came back the next paycheck. Shit happens.
      Now, we both work very good jobs but we live in the same shitty house. Why? Cause the housing market sucks and we REFUSED to live in luxury at a high cost. So we are waiting for the next collapse to find a new home.
      You don't leave because the steak back to hot dogs. That isn't how a real serious relationship works. It is just like friendships. You don't stop being a friend. Because that friend can't treat you to dinner anymore. These people need to learn that. Trust and respect has left society. My husband and I have been together for almost 25 years. My husband and I would be together in a cardboard box. Because no matter where we go. We will be together.
      That is the real ride or die. Whatever the heck is going on these days. Need to stop.
      Thank you sis for holding your man down! You are amazing!

    I’m really glad you made this video, Fam. Because some people tend to think successful people on RUclips were successful all along. “They see the shine, but they don’t see the grind.” Also, maybe the most impressive thing I take away from your video, is that you and Norberis didn’t give up on each other. The marriage vows say, “…for richer or poorer…” for a reason. You two worked together, and had confidence in one another to make it to a better life. That’s what real love is all about. 🤜🏾💥🤛🏾💯

I failed many times in my life but always learned to pick myself back up. As a friend once tried to encourage me when I was rock bottom…that at least you can’t drop any further.

The best advice you can give people is to not give up. If you believe in GOD he will make a way. We too came to the DR to visit and fell in love. We visited Santo Domingo and Punta Cana and decided we loved PC. So we moved here and stayed for 3 years and had to go back to the states because of family and lack of financial stability there. We also went to Florida to live for six years and get back on our feet. We moved back to Punta Cana last year and we love it. But we are retired now. Please continue to uplift people with your story because trust me there are a lot of people out there that needs that encouragement. It can be done. God Bless you and your family.

    Having a partner like Norberis should NEVER be taken for granted! Most westernized women today, especially age 35 & younger, wouldn't do a third of what she did to help themselves get back on their feet. They would put 90% of the responsibility on the man. AND making plans at the same time to "upgrade" their partner situation. FACTS !!!

    I feel you bro… I worked for 7 trucking companies in less than a year before I started my own. I drove for free because I loved what I was doing, but I knew there was a better option for me as a combat veteran and college graduate. I tapped into my gift with being able to articulate and navigate the corporate world and the world of a truck driver. With this I made millions…. However, a million dollars didn’t save my marriage nor my home. I salute you on your accomplishments and your dedication to the success of your channel.

    The last part starting at 16:00 is golden. I traveled to Colombia 🇨🇴 on vacation 2yrs ago and I couldn’t describe it but I knew I had to move there. I’m finally going to be able to move in January. What took me so long is I had to find a completely remote job. I had to endure a level of patience and perseverance unlike anything I had ever experienced in my entire life. I was also constantly thinking about the when. I finally had to live in the present while working on my goal but not think about the when.

    Don't Quit
    Edgar Albert Guest
    When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
    when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
    when the funds are low and the debts are high,
    and you want to smile but you have to sigh,
    when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit.
    Life is queer with its twists and turns.
    As everyone of us sometimes learns.
    And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out.
    Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow.
    Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man;
    Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup;
    and he learned too late when the night came down,
    how close he was to the golden crown.
    Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
    and when you never can tell how close you are,
    it may be near when it seems afar;
    So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst, you must not quit.

Believe me when I tell you that that area is growing. I ended up meeting coach John’s wife at the Olé supermarket. That time meeting her out of the blue was unforgettable. She was so warm and welcoming. Shout out to the Dominican Route. I even got to speak to John while she was in line. Looking forward to meeting y’all too, next time.

For me and my wife RUclips is a business so we approach it strategically. We don't record random videos. Not saying it's good or bad. Just not our approach. I suggest figuring the type of content you want to make and if its an audience for it. That's the first step.
