Renae Broome if that how you feel , I understand . But the Bible says we can marry as long as we are not unyoked with unbelievers, they have to be from the Lord.
I have been divorced since 2011 and one of the issues was he was never my friend, he never defended me. Being friends is really a good direction to go!
I don't know if I've ever seen such beautiful quality of skin tone! Girl your skin and face is BEAUTIFUL. Your skin tone is different. The richness and redness of the chocolate! Wow
I was thinking the exact same thing through the proposal video and this one...how completely beautiful she is! I am in-love with this story of the purpose of this relationship--I don't believe in coincidences.
I love this types of couples Who believe in God Put God first That's so sweet I love it when they said *We heard from God* You just got a new subscriber
4daluvofnikki 😂😂 believe it or not, the proposal did actually top this! But that’s a story for another video. I’ll make sure we tell that one soon. Imagine the same concept but take it up a few notches! ✊🏻✊🏻
"Even if you know someone is for you, you still don't take away your boundaries" wow this is great perspective! We can relate to this from some of our early experiences as well :)
Lol! I’m just sitting her laughing because I’m working on my boundaries. It’s also funny how God will end things when he knows I shouldn’t be talking on the phone so late. One night I was talking to the guy who’s courting me and all of a sudden the phone call is cut short and I notice my internet dropped out. 😂 What do I do? Call the person back and talk longer then set a boundary an hr later saying I need to get to bed and he’s like yeah I need to go to bed to.
Yes God speaks , i remember a moment when i consulted God something and God said it is not the right time. I believe God has proper timing for everything in our life. It is better to wait on God Alone and His proper timing. Am waiting on God for everything including my marriage, my future because i Trust Him . the bible says His plans for our lives is to prosper not destroy us.
What a beautiful love story!!I’m African American, and my husband is of German decent. When you put God first in your relationship, he will bless it!! Yes, my husband is my best friend!! Definitely.👍🏾 I met my husband in college when I was 19, and we will be celebrating 30 years of marriage in July!❤️❤️
yes being best friends with your husband is important depending on how strong your love and relationship is with each other when you marry you become one flesh so you would definitely want to share everything with him or her 🙏🏾👍🏾❤️
Kids, I don’t know how you got in my feed but I loved your story. I was friends with my husband first 42 years ago before we got married. Keep God first🙏🏾
I loved this video. I have been interracially married for 23 yrs. and we are the proud parents of 16 yr. old soon to be 17 yr. old fraternal twins. Thank you for sharing your story it was interesting, touching and you both showed us the dynamic of how your relationship changed from friends to becoming husband and wife. My husband was and continues to be my best friend. I wish both of you all the best and many more years of happiness. Oh yes and as Ms. Alston said yellow does make our skin pop, my hubby loves it when I wear yellow. Tina in Cali
I'm 62 and it just happened for me 2 months ago. It's so unbelievable and totally unexpected! And, it's a long fistance relationship...for now! He's the best! I thank God for answering my prayers.
Denitra Smith Thank you for sharing, I’m definitely encouraged. Just curious, did y’all have marriage counseling? I always say, even if he was a Bishop I’d want counseling. I’ve never been married. I want to know what is expected of me and what should be expected of him.
I love this story. Hearing from God is crucial! I met my hubby at work and the first place he took me was bible study. Then we spent hours on the phone laughing non stop. I'm talking about laugh till you throw up. But nothing in me knew we would date or marry. Long behold, we been together 9 years, married 5. We have a daughter with the peace of God. There's no better feeling than knowing God is in your relationship💞. You two are a lovely couple. Praying for many years to come.
People who are not really friends tend not to grow together, they tend to grow apart. Cultivating a friendship is a solid foundation. Your marriage is more likely to survive a storm because of the solid foundation it was built on. God Bless you two.
I just love seeing young couples honoring God!! Like who at 19/20 years old stops dating? Lol that's when most people start forreal dating. Love this so much!
@@merrelspencer7518 no but it's nice to see because the narrative is that it doesn't work when it's interracial... different race...different cultures but it's nice to see happy interracial couples. Especially when the woman is black.
Ryan said he wasn't in love, that cracked me up! All the best to you both. My husband and I have known each other for 30+ years. Briefly dated in 87, went our separate ways and found each other again in 2012. Happily married now and yes, he is my super best friend! True love does exist!
My husband and I started as really, really good friends in college-neither of us planning on getting involved with ANYone, much less each other. So really, we were surprised by love. And I’ve told many people since then that, in retrospect, it was the perfect way to fall in love. Too often people fall into lust and figure out too late that it’s not enough. But if you fall in like with the person we’ll before you fall in love with them, then both of you have the time to recognize and appreciate the unbelievable gift and blessing you’re bringing to each other.
I knew this couple, who'd started out as best friends since they were kids now have REALLY REALLY strong bond. They've been married for a number of years. I would've loved to have marry my best friend!!!!
Loooove that yall are so open and honest about your relationship with God!🙏🙌 And I'm so glad yall are so obedient to Him and are hearing from Him! Your marriage is sooo beautiful 😍
Yes, my husband and I were best friends 17 years before we were married. We are still best friends after 19 years of marriage and God is the reason for our life together.
Oh my gosh! That girlfriend proposal was AMAAAAAAAZING! Yeah, you did that! My husband is definitely my best friend. We have been married 17 years. I pray God's blessings over your marriage....Peace
Wow that just asking her to be his girlfriend I imagine how he ask her to marry him. You both are too beautiful God bless you. And Yes your husband/wife should be your best friend period.
My husband and I are not best friends but true life partners. We're a team . It would be great to be best friends but I enjoy that we are individuals who like different things . I think it can work well either way. Nice couple.
Candace Jeffers that what we believe but we have had full blown debates of how your spouse can be just your companion not your best friend ... if you watch Black-ish that’s where this convo is coming from smh 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Good morning That was interesting...my spouse an I first met online ...I felt we began knowing each other through texting ...we actually skipped the best friend thing...but I realized later that the friendship could develop over time ...an I knew what I wanted with her ..an vice versa...an that was the need to find love with one another ... although it did not happen at first glance ..but meeting her ...loving her as I do ...I know I didn't make a mistake...I am a white Canadian male ..she is a black female....friendship is everyday an we are learning each other's way on our journey...I love the swirl...bless day
Just to answer your last question, when I prayed years ago for my husband who I'm still praying for, I always pray that he'll be my best friend. Like I can't imagine it any other way. It has been and is a heart's desire. I just also want to say that I really love your story and how you transitioned to officially being a couple. it's really encouraging because I've gone through something similar with someone special to me. I've met someone I call my best friend. What we share I have never experienced before with anyone and it's amazing when I think of it. It's nothing forced, it's a natural deep connection that I experience and this is coming from someone who is not so free with people. It takes me long to let people in but with this guy, it's so effortless and it comes with great peace as well. Before I graduated from university and moved to a far place, we would constantly meet up and hang out as friends but things would get heated for us. We had many moments when we'd kiss, but when we'd talk, he'd tell me we are just friends and that he didn't feel anything for me but all these things that friends can't do because they only friends were happening🤦. It was so hard, confusing and disturbing because I had already fallen for him and yet he seemed slow. Sometimes I felt like I was the one pushing for it rather than him pursuing me and I hated the whole experience. He also struggled with boundaries. We set boundaries but it was impossible But it's nice to hear your husband's point of view on what was going on in him during the time before he felt the release. I've prayed about it over and over, even asking God to help me move on if it's not His will, but everything seems to be pointing towards him. So I'm a place where I've just chosen to keep waiting for the right time when we are both really ready. I pray that we'll get married someday soon and one of the reasons is that for me he's my best friend and I'd want to spend the rest of my life with him.
8:50-9:25 by far my favorite part, like the amount of genuine sincerity in his sentence. You could definitely tell he was falling for her all over again right there😍😍
Brian you really thought about your relationship. How creative you were with the roses. I automatically subscribed to your channel because you believed in what God told you and of course I already mentioned the roses. How romantic can you get. I love it and being best friends just put the icing on the cake.
My husband and I were friends since we were 12 years old. He asked me to be his girlfriend at that time he actually said "will you go with me" and I did "yes". That was the way we did it back in the 70's, lol. We broke up he cried and we remained friends for 40 years. As life would have it, our personal circumstances changed and we got married, his second my third, 6 years ago
This makes me believe in true love and soulmates. My soulmate is on his way to me and he is everything I wished and needed in my life. I'll be back here to let you know when that day comes 😍
@@stephiekashosi866 I must mention that my person and I found each other. 🌻💕 I am truly with my soulmate now. I wrote my "soulmate-list" to the Universe and now I am with my special person that fits everything I have on thay list. 😍
I really love that he said she was the only one who could take all of him, the good, bad and ugly and that she had a big heart. There story really teaches a lot of beautiful things.
Starting at 8:50, is the pureness and vulnerability...the kind of intimacy I want for my proposal. Nothing big and showy, but this in its raw simplicity...causes it to be of epic nature. 🌸💕
Third comment 😂😂😂 my husband was not my best friend before we got together but he quickly became my best friend. I absolutely believe spouses should be best friends!
Latrece Williams yessss I can tell you guys were best friends I love #MCMs 😍😍😍 it’s interesting because some people see their spouse as companions instead of best friends 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I truly enjoyed video. It made my heart feel warm that there are such romantic men in the world. You are a blessed lady. You two must keep God in your relationship and continue to look to Him for answers.
Brian , being transparent is what God wants. We are standing before him. I stand completely naked before him. I think all Christians are working on that area. I enjoyed the video. keep moving forward we are in our 46th. We are still working on it. Speaking of best friends, God the father, Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit and my wife in that order. love you guys!!!!
Joseph Boyd yes sir! Absolutely! I couldn’t agree with you more. Transparency is what allows people to see what God has done in our lives, learn and grow from it. Thank you for the encouragement! 🙏🏻
My loving 🥰 husband and I are best friends also, we’ve been Married for 33 years and together for 37 years. Our friendship is very important to us. Our Friendship is there when our marriage is being tuned up! I am very grateful to God for a wonderful loving Husband and Friend! 🥰❤️🥰
Oh my goodness he had a great idea of how he proposed to her. I'm glad that they listened to God for their relationship and marriage. Just so beautiful and meaningful.🙏✨💯💕.
y'all are so precious...reminds me of my son and his wife. Finding the one God has ordained for your life, early in life is beyond priceless! May the Lord continue to bless and use you to inspire others!
My husband and I were friends for 8 years before we dated. We were both in different relationships, preventing us from getting together. When my marriage broke down, he was ready to be with me, but I wasn't sure, until we started talking about our spiritual life and shared our favorite books. Fast-forward, we've been married for 17 years now, and we're more in love now more than ever! I thank God everyday for my wonderful, caring husband!!! 🙏😊
Btw, thanks for sharing your beautiful testimony. I believe spouses should be besties but it doesn't have to be a best friend build up per se. There's a Christian couple, Sonserae and Patrick Hagan who met and married within 28 DAYS (I know!) They've been married for over 6 years and are expecting their first. And I think they consider each other best friends, even though it unfolded so quickly. 😊
Michelle Onuorah first of all .... 28 DAYS ?!!! That is definitely God ordained... that’s amazing, love hearing stories like that and giving good perspective, thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks for being another example of Christian relationships and pure love. We need more. This is the first video I've watched. New subbie. ❤ Hopefully my husband is on his way AND I am ready for him. I've been working with God to heal my heart and I feel 99% ready. I also need to get even closer to Him to hear His voice better. I need to trust him more to know that He will provide, with me being obedient to Him. I also have to go other places besides home, work and school (which I work at my school so I see the same 10 people in addition to my professors. And no, there are no candidates there lol.) Oh, and yes I believe your husband should be your best friend and vice versa.
Omg, I love watching labor and delivery...and decided to add vlogs to the search...I love you guys connection with Our Father. I am so glad HE led me to your chanel. I've been watching every single video in chronological order THE PAST 3 HOURS!!! KEEP TRUSTING GOD AND KEEP PUSHING OUT THE VIDEOS
What a beautiful, romantic love story! I agree that it’s definitely best to be friends first. My husband and I started off as friends more than 15 years ago. We’ve been together for 10 years and married for 4. I also like how you accepted him for who he is; all of him, as he stated, the good and the bad! Now that’s real unconditional love!! 💗
I feel like I'm sooooo late watching this but this is actually an amazing story of how you both grew together while hearing from God and obeying God. The girlfriend proposal with the roses was out of this world romantic and well thought through. In regards to being best friends with your spouse, I think that having your best friend as a spouse is one of the best gifts one can ever possess in this life! some people don't view it that way but I think that usually means that they haven't chosen to be with someone that they can trust with their entire world. They may love that person but they can't trust them with their emotions, their thoughts, their whole heart etc. And it could be just their own ignorance due to their own perception aswell. But being married to your best friend gives you "peace in your soul." And so many relationships lack this because they didn't marry their best friend, and on top of that, they married out of the will of God. So Who they end up marrying is their "unequally yoked acquaintance" lol
Our story is very similar. We started as friends in 2009 and became best friends in 2010. We said "I love you", and Josh told me he was "a ring away from proposing to me" on that night! Then we dated and got engaged rapidly before marrying in 2011. He is still my best friend and lover :)
I just stumbled upon your channel and decided to subscribe. My husband is my best friend, however, I don't think it is necessary that a husband and wife be best friends every couple is different so it all depends on that individual couple. I know couples on many different levels and they make it work.
Awwww 🥰 shucks!!! You two are so dope! .......& YES your hubby/wife should be your best friend for sure! Tony and I started off as just friends and honestly that solid friendship we established in the beginning helped carry us through some very difficult times. I’m all for being friends first and foremost! ❤️
Love this story. I met my husband at 19 and we have been married for almost 15 years in June. We grew up in a few towns away from the both of you. I’m excited to see more of your videos 😃
My dad always said before he passed " Marriage is best when you marry your best friend"
Jas beautiful ❤️
You are a daddy’s girl, but your father in heaven has a great one for you. Sorry about ur dad! I loved my daddy he was soooo sweet!
Did he specify the sex of your friend?
Your dads a smart man 😀

Renae Broome . Not everyone may agree . If it’s God’s Will in a person’s life that what matters.

I agree with you Absolutely with this post. Thank you because I needed to see this.
“Your heart was so large that it became magnetic for my heart” brb, crying 😭
Yes I think your husband should be your best friend
Candace Jeffers that what we believe but we have had full blown debates of how your spouse can be just your companion not your best friend ... if you watch Black-ish that’s where this convo is coming from smh 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
My mom just told me this the other day
As time passes it gone be the case.
@@TheColeLife me personally I don't watch Black-ish
Wow, funny i have always thought this... it's just makes the relationship better
I love you guys for letting God lead you.
Gosh! Such relationships are hard to come by
Good morning
That was interesting...my spouse an I first met online ...I felt we began knowing each other through texting ...we actually skipped the best friend thing...but I realized later that the friendship could develop over time ...an I knew what I wanted with her ..an vice versa...an that was the need to find love with one another ... although it did not happen at first glance ..but meeting her ...loving her as I do ...I know I didn't make a mistake...I am a white Canadian male ..she is a black female....friendship is everyday an we are learning each other's way on our journey...I love the swirl...bless day
Just to answer your last question, when I prayed years ago for my husband who I'm still praying for, I always pray that he'll be my best friend. Like I can't imagine it any other way. It has been and is a heart's desire.
I just also want to say that I really love your story and how you transitioned to officially being a couple. it's really encouraging because I've gone through something similar with someone special to me.
I've met someone I call my best friend. What we share I have never experienced before with anyone and it's amazing when I think of it. It's nothing forced, it's a natural deep connection that I experience and this is coming from someone who is not so free with people. It takes me long to let people in but with this guy, it's so effortless and it comes with great peace as well.
Before I graduated from university and moved to a far place, we would constantly meet up and hang out as friends but things would get heated for us. We had many moments when we'd kiss, but when we'd talk, he'd tell me we are just friends and that he didn't feel anything for me but all these things that friends can't do because they only friends were happening🤦. It was so hard, confusing and disturbing because I had already fallen for him and yet he seemed slow. Sometimes I felt like I was the one pushing for it rather than him pursuing me and I hated the whole experience. He also struggled with boundaries. We set boundaries but it was impossible
But it's nice to hear your husband's point of view on what was going on in him during the time before he felt the release.
I've prayed about it over and over, even asking God to help me move on if it's not His will, but everything seems to be pointing towards him. So I'm a place where I've just chosen to keep waiting for the right time when we are both really ready. I pray that we'll get married someday soon and one of the reasons is that for me he's my best friend and I'd want to spend the rest of my life with him.
Wow! I went through a very similar situation! God bless you!
8:50-9:25 by far my favorite part, like the amount of genuine sincerity in his sentence. You could definitely tell he was falling for her all over again right there😍😍
My Husband is my bestfriend. And I am a firm believer that relationships work best if the both parties have great friendship.
Brian with the mad romance skills! Beautiful story.
When they are talking to one another it's so natural. I think they forget the videos rolling. So in tuned to each other. Amazing.
Brian you really thought about your relationship. How creative you were with the roses. I automatically subscribed to your channel because you believed in what God told you and of course I already mentioned the roses. How romantic can you get. I love it and being best friends just put the icing on the cake.
Most girls haven't had a guy do that! And yes, best friends, in Christ, is most important.
My husband and I were friends since we were 12 years old. He asked me to be his girlfriend at that time he actually said "will you go with me" and I did "yes". That was the way we did it back in the 70's, lol. We broke up he cried and we remained friends for 40 years. As life would have it, our personal circumstances changed and we got married, his second my third, 6 years ago
What a waste of time
Marriage is God's idea...the fact that you mentioned boundaries -that is Godly!
God bless your marriage
I love you guys 💖
She has a beautiful features and complexion MashaAllah. Guidance and Blessings to you both.
This makes me believe in true love and soulmates. My soulmate is on his way to me and he is everything I wished and needed in my life. I'll be back here to let you know when that day comes 😍
I strongly believe aswell ❤️ God only knows
Mine has found me🤗
@@stephiekashosi866 I must mention that my person and I found each other. 🌻💕 I am truly with my soulmate now. I wrote my "soulmate-list" to the Universe and now I am with my special person that fits everything I have on thay list. 😍
Amen!Me too
@@jessicaburgos9820 Awesome that's so good to hear
I just subscribed because you mentioned God. Blessings🎼🕊🌈God is my King and my Rock.❤️
The white man's God?
@@mplsridah please stop
light brite, you must be black smh
I really love that he said she was the only one who could take all of him, the good, bad and ugly and that she had a big heart. There story really teaches a lot of beautiful things.
I believe that friendship (best friends) is crucial for a wonderful marriage!!
Starting at 8:50, is the pureness and vulnerability...the kind of intimacy I want for my proposal. Nothing big and showy, but this in its raw simplicity...causes it to be of epic nature. 🌸💕
I love this couples may God blessed your marriage beautiful
Third comment 😂😂😂 my husband was not my best friend before we got together but he quickly became my best friend. I absolutely believe spouses should be best friends!
Latrece Williams yessss I can tell you guys were best friends I love #MCMs 😍😍😍 it’s interesting because some people see their spouse as companions instead of best friends 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I agree :)
Love that you both put God first, stuck with your boundaries, and then allowed God to lead you to your marriage. Great testimony! 🙏🏾💖
I truly enjoyed video. It made my heart feel warm that there are such romantic men in the world. You are a blessed lady. You two must keep God in your relationship and continue to look to Him for answers.
VW Lew thank you so much... and we absolutely will , promise ❤️❤️
I definitely agree. The bond is so much stronger. My husband is my best friend which in my opinion makes the marriage more exciting.
Brian , being transparent is what God wants. We are standing before him. I stand completely naked before him. I think all Christians are working on that area. I enjoyed
the video. keep moving forward we are in our 46th. We are still working on it. Speaking of best friends, God the father, Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit and my wife
in that order. love you guys!!!!
Joseph Boyd yes sir! Absolutely! I couldn’t agree with you more. Transparency is what allows people to see what God has done in our lives, learn and grow from it. Thank you for the encouragement! 🙏🏻
My loving 🥰 husband and I are best friends also, we’ve been Married for 33 years and together for 37 years. Our friendship is very important to us. Our Friendship is there when our marriage is being tuned up! I am very grateful to God for a wonderful loving Husband and Friend! 🥰❤️🥰
Lord bless me like this please😭❤❤
Amen
Thank you🙌
Also dear I wish
Amen lord 🤍
Amen❤️
Love this...it’s refreshing to hear someone who still desires to honor God.
Oh my goodness he had a great idea of how he proposed to her. I'm glad that they listened to God for their relationship and marriage. Just so beautiful and meaningful.🙏✨💯💕.
I loved how u guys kept focusing on God ,that was really what everyone needs to learn from ur story , Ive subscribed 😊
Susanna B Sings well we are honored to have you subscribe! And appreciate the encouragement. He is what everything is all about. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
That story with the roses is so beautiful :'3
Yes, I've always believe that friendship built before intimate relationship is the best foundation for marriage.
y'all are so precious...reminds me of my son and his wife. Finding the one God has ordained for your life, early in life is beyond priceless! May the Lord continue to bless and use you to inspire others!
My husband and I were friends for 8 years before we dated. We were both in different relationships, preventing us from getting together. When my marriage broke down, he was ready to be with me, but I wasn't sure, until we started talking about our spiritual life and shared our favorite books. Fast-forward, we've been married for 17 years now, and we're more in love now more than ever! I thank God everyday for my wonderful, caring husband!!! 🙏😊
Btw, thanks for sharing your beautiful testimony. I believe spouses should be besties but it doesn't have to be a best friend build up per se. There's a Christian couple, Sonserae and Patrick Hagan who met and married within 28 DAYS (I know!) They've been married for over 6 years and are expecting their first. And I think they consider each other best friends, even though it unfolded so quickly. 😊
Michelle Onuorah first of all .... 28 DAYS ?!!! That is definitely God ordained... that’s amazing, love hearing stories like that and giving good perspective, thanks for sharing ❤️
She is so beautiful... wow.. he is so very blessed to be with her....
This story is amazing!!! I subbed when you said that the Lord told you not to date until HE tells you too. Love it!!!
shortandstuff thank you so much!! It was sooo hard but we hope we made God proud.
Yes. I believe in a marriage you should be each other's best friend because that is the way the relationship should have started! IMHO
Thanks for being another example of Christian relationships and pure love. We need more. This is the first video I've watched. New subbie. ❤
Hopefully my husband is on his way AND I am ready for him. I've been working with God to heal my heart and I feel 99% ready. I also need to get even closer to Him to hear His voice better. I need to trust him more to know that He will provide, with me being obedient to Him. I also have to go other places besides home, work and school (which I work at my school so I see the same 10 people in addition to my professors. And no, there are no candidates there lol.) Oh, and yes I believe your husband should be your best friend and vice versa.
Absolutely Beautiful! Such a pure testimony of Love! This needs to be heard throughout the world. Keep ministering Mr. & Mrs. Cole!💕
Based on Gods beautiful foundation will definitely last a life time.
Congratulations Guys.
Love this.
beautiful story. He went thru all of that for the first date? He's a keeper.
The way he asked you to be his girlfriend was so beautiful 😍😭
Omg, I love watching labor and delivery...and decided to add vlogs to the search...I love you guys connection with Our Father. I am so glad HE led me to your chanel. I've been watching every single video in chronological order THE PAST 3 HOURS!!! KEEP TRUSTING GOD AND KEEP PUSHING OUT THE VIDEOS
Mos definitely. My husband after God must be my best friend.
What a beautiful, romantic love story! I agree that it’s definitely best to be friends first. My husband and I started off as friends more than 15 years ago. We’ve been together for 10 years and married for 4. I also like how you accepted him for who he is; all of him, as he stated, the good and the bad! Now that’s real unconditional love!! 💗
Beautiful couple. May the Lord continue to bless your family. Just subscribed #495!❤️
Elizabeth Timothy thank you so much and welcome!! 👋🏾👋🏾
I feel like I'm sooooo late watching this but this is actually an amazing story of how you both grew together while hearing from God and obeying God. The girlfriend proposal with the roses was out of this world romantic and well thought through. In regards to being best friends with your spouse, I think that having your best friend as a spouse is one of the best gifts one can ever possess in this life! some people don't view it that way but I think that usually means that they haven't chosen to be with someone that they can trust with their entire world. They may love that person but they can't trust them with their emotions, their thoughts, their whole heart etc. And it could be just their own ignorance due to their own perception aswell. But being married to your best friend gives you "peace in your soul." And so many relationships lack this because they didn't marry their best friend, and on top of that, they married out of the will of God. So Who they end up marrying is their "unequally yoked acquaintance" lol
I ❤️ how you talk about God and wanting to be obedient! Young ❤️ is the best!
Our story is very similar. We started as friends in 2009 and became best friends in 2010. We said "I love you", and Josh told me he was "a ring away from proposing to me" on that night! Then we dated and got engaged rapidly before marrying in 2011. He is still my best friend and lover :)
Hannah van Loon Carlson beautiful 😍😍
My husband was my best friend, and after 20 years of marriage, he is still my best friend. I am a new subscriber!
How beautiful how he express his self to you. To 100 more years of love ❤️ and union for you too. 🥰🥰🥰
I just stumbled upon your channel and decided to subscribe. My husband is my best friend, however, I don't think it is necessary that a husband and wife be best friends every couple is different so it all depends on that individual couple. I know couples on many different levels and they make it work.
It’s good to be best friends it helps .
Damn now that rose thing has me 😢. It’s so romantic and well thought out. ♥️ yes be best friends and things last. Celebrating 25 years married.
Awwww 🥰 shucks!!! You two are so dope! .......& YES your hubby/wife should be your best friend for sure! Tony and I started off as just friends and honestly that solid friendship we established in the beginning helped carry us through some very difficult times. I’m all for being friends first and foremost! ❤️
Drea Frost yes and amen!! 🙌🏻It’s so hard to imagine how our relationship would be if we weren’t best friends.
Love this story. I met my husband at 19 and we have been married for almost 15 years in June. We grew up in a few towns away from the both of you. I’m excited to see more of your videos 😃
