    There has been a lot of comments in regards to us settling to be with each other, being insecure, and not being equally yoked etc. Based on the commentary, it’s pretty obvious that only segments of the episode were watched. “Not Your Type” is so much more than physical attraction. Yet, that has been the only thing that majority has wanted to weigh in on. We are examples of individuals who submitted to God’s Will above our “initial” reactions. Thankfully, we have been blessed to experience growing in love through our love for Christ. We see each other in a way that only we will understand. While we don’t expect everyone’s story to mimic ours, we hope that through this episode you will see how removing “self” can result in the biggest blessing, IF & ONLY IF it’s in submission to God. Be Bless.

      👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Several thoughts came to mind as I read a few of the comments 😆 But I'll say I thought you both seem to feel very at home with each other as I listened/watched. I like your honesty/maturity and believe your love and attraction for each other is genuine. Some people are projecting their own thoughts of you and how they feel about this type of conversation as if those are things you're thinking and experiencing with each other. Sometimes we can be too attached to certain fantasies/ideals/preferences about love, so we think love isn't present or something is wrong with a relationship if those things aren't a part of it.

      @@deborahcamillerobinson9247 i understand what you’re saying but this doesnt apply to men when looking for a wife. In our bible it states the men always valued the woman’s beauty & married solely for that. Men look at beauty from head to toe. Elkanah even treated his 2nd wife poorly because of it. Ruth was sough out because of it. As a woman you should seek out a provider and protector. The rules arent the same for us. I dont think its wise for a woman to marry or date a man that not satisfied with her appearance. The church has to be honest that men are men. Why is why they date outside the church first.Woman are you be beautiful and in shape( gluttony is running thru the church nonstop). These are just facts!

I am very attracted to him and the man of God he has become. Type can mean many different things. God had a plan for us to be together and do ministry together.

      They seemed extremely natural with each other. I think people are used to watching fake heavily edited TikTok videos and think that's what love and "healthy" looks like. These two were having serious conversations but still joking with each other. That IS way more real and comfortable than a fake/heavily edited video to make people think they have a fairytale relationship that probably won't last another 5 years.

      That's because you assumed "my type" only referred to physical attraction. There is WAY more to being each others type than that...that's the point of the whole video and people are missing it. They are having BIG conversations people aren't used to hearing and people tuned out because they expected the two of them to just smile at each other and talk about how cute each other was....they are more mature than that. These are not teenagers. They were have a grown folks conversation and sadly too many people aren't picking it up.

    Having a “type” means that there are particular physical or character attributes that you are most commonly attracted to. She even mentioned that she was normally attracted to the ‘Morris Chestnut’ type and he’s more so ‘Shemar Moore’ but was still cute.
    That’s ok y’all, they didn’t settle because they valued each other’s character. And obviously they’re attracted to each other - y’all don’t see that baby on her lap? 👀

    I can definitely appreciate this type of conversation. Marriage is not a fairytale, especially not a long lasting marriage. Marriage is for grown folks who can be open and honest. When we want what God wants for us rather than our flesh, this is what it looks like. Overtime the relationship is built. Also, God does not call us to idolize our mate. After all, He gives us a help-mate not a fan. For those who get it, they understand this dynamic. Takes a level of maturity to do so. God bless this union.

    About 65% of the people don't marry their type. Everyone isn't going to have all of the qualities you want, and sometimes your type isn't really your type. Sometimes, people have to grow on you. It's not always a bad thing. It's more so because we are use to a certain type or way. We tend to overlook people, places, and things in life. It doesn't change until we take those blinders off and give things a chance. Then you will only realize what you thought was for you, really isn't for you.

    This is basically what the creators of married at first sight talk about. The moment a cast member says they are not physically attracted to their spouse, they are very quick to mention that relationships/marriages are more than that. I guess it makes sense for tv, but reading these comments people don’t agree with that in real life? In my opinion it doesn’t seem like they settled for one another.

    Hi, I LOVE this conversation. From reading the comments, some people haven’t experienced what you’re talking about and can’t relate. I married my preference but it ended being the worst experience I’ve been through. I’m now in a relationship with someone that I would never imagine being with and it’s the best decision I’ve made. A suitmate is better than a preference. Looks don’t pay the bills, it doesn’t shelter your from heartbreak. I understand everything you’ve expressed because I went through it. All of us are not always fortunate to meet our suitmate as well as our preference. Thanks for being brave and opening up!

As you said, yall grew together and that seems very similar to how arranged marriages can grow to be love as well. Everything doesnt have to be a love story from a book. Its y'all love story and thats beautiful ❤️

    Funny- people thought my wife and i were odd together- but i think it was our distinct complextions. Funny - their story sounds eerily familiar to me and my wife's, but im 3 years younger. She invited me to church- she was 33 and i was 30. i ran a fixed income and derivatives trading desk at an investment bank at the time (she had no clue what that was😅). She was a virgin before we married (we found out what vaginismus was on our wedding night 😂😂) and i couldn't understand why, that was until i started studying the Bible - we couldn't have been more different - but we were and still are the best of friends. This type stuff is crazy

    At first I was side eyeing the title & the first few minutes of the video but then the more I just sat and listen to actually hear instead of judge, this made absolutely so much sense and was an amazing video to watch! I appreciate the full transparency y’all had because in reality it’s not to say the things we think we want or are attracted to are bad and won’t work out but if we are talking about the long haul and a healthy growing long haul that may not be what you think you want because you don’t know what all comes with that and may not be healthy towards growing for either person. Plus again if we are talking about HEALTHY partnership looking at only the now and surface level now it’s not going to be what helps to build let alone grow a good foundation for longevity. Big props to you all and speak continued blessings for you all.

    Being an attractive woman of God myself and one who is also wise.Because the heart of a person is as of importance than physical beauty. And the Lord said in His word in this scripture 1st Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel :Do not look at his appearance (King Saul) or physical stature. Because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees. For man (humans) looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.

Inner beauty is lasting. Boaz was an elderly man, Ruth was very young, he even honored her for not choosing the younger men surrounding her when she could have. When its God’s will he will allow the attraction to take place even when not initially.

The appearance of the woman will always be the mans motivation to do so.Its hard to hear but men are men and as a woman your appearance will give you favor which the bible shows.

    Well first I want to say thank you guys for being honest and open and sharing your story! Next it’s so many people who feel offended or off put by this topic and truth is this is sooo many peoples marriages and relationships right now. Most people are not with their ‘ideal’ partner…heck a lot of people are in even worse positions they’re the stepping stone relationship or they’re the cover up. Honestly a huge majority of relationships are not the ideal I think that’s why it offends so many people because they want to be the exception to the rule. Once you step outside of ego and actually operate above it actually can open your eyes to the whole situation. Anywho much love. ❤

You see somebody they may be a 6 or ok looking to you. But if you’re not shallow & get to know that person’s heart & spirit, they immediately go from a 6 to a 10!! It’s not just about the looks, it’s about how that person treats you & make you feel!

Amazing to see a couple that is speaking on this. I don’t see tension nothing. These are topics that are just not normally spoken about and people avoid it to when we see it , it seems odd.

    Title caught my attention so I read the comments as a preview to make sure this wasn't going to be some messed up video where one of them are bashing the other and to my surprise the comments seem to have missed the intro where this husband and wife state who created the idea (his wife) who agreed to film it (her husband) and that they were both okay with making this a topic of conversation because they are okay now and happy with their decision. I'm only at the beginning but I thought I'd mention that for viewers that read the comments don't let them deter you or encourage you to skip around the video or you might me subject to missing key parts. And before I continue on with the video please remember yall physical attraction is not everything many people that get together based on that grow apart and end up divorced because as we age we will begin to look different and through different stages of life your husband/wife may see you at your worse and if they are only there because you are pretty/handsome that is a recipe for disaster.
