This reminds me of my husband! Dated ALL through college … we were that HBCU couple on our campus. Everyone was rooting for us… but we were known as us as a couple; not us as individuals. We were very codependent and it was unhealthy in some ways. We LOVED each other , but needed to grow separately… Broke up 3 days after graduation…. went our own ways for about 6 months Now we are married… We really needed that time apart to discover who we were because we were so ENGULFED in each-other. Also spending time with other people for less than 7 months showed us we didn’t want anyone but each other. It took time. We hurt each other in the process. Therapy, prayer and FORGIVENESS played a major part. But now, we are better than ever. God is amazing. What He brings together, no man can tear apart. If it’s God ordained, it’ll happen. Thank y’all for sharing!

Waooh this is beautiful ❤️ may God do the same thing for me 🙏

Y’all really encouraged me. I broke up with my gf a few months back because I wasn’t in a healthy place where I could give her the best version of me anymore. The thing is God showed me that she was my wife before we even met (crazy right?) and I don’t see a future for myself with anyone but her. We went through ups, downs, had some issues (some similar to your situation and a few different) but I still believe we’re God ordained. There’s days I wonder if I am wrong about it but this was confirmation to just keep trusting God and let things continue to play out. Thanks for this video. God bless.

Yep 11:00 that was me and my now hubby. Looonnggg story short: Met in 2000. Best friends for 3 years. Went separate ways for 7 years...7 years of a hot mess, but in that time we grew into the mates we needed to be for one another...ran back into each other 2009. Married 2010 been together ever since. To God be the glory ❤

That part he said about God putting you in the wrong relationships to teach you a lesson (me paraphrasing)... Was definitely a #message

thanks for being so transparent and honest... relationships can be so messy and difficult, even when (or especially when) you're seeking to honor God with it... CONGRATULATIONS to you guys!!!!

God is up there smiling, saying "i knew the plan i had for you both"

He’s definitely perfect for you. You got a solid man Jess, congratulations! Marriage is beautiful, can’t wait until you both experience the blessing of union ❤️

Aww y’all are such a beautiful couple! Love the story. One thing that I have noticed about a lot of God ordained relationships is that there’s almost always some sort of break up (long or short) that God uses for development or any sort of heart work (healing) & to bring each individual closer to Him. God is so good. Can’t wait to see you all’s story unfold 🥰❤️

Yesss I agree, Jonathan is right about God letting us have something that he knows is not going to work out sometimes to help us as well get prepared for what is really in store. I'm experiencing that right now. So glad that I am blessed to be on your Channel today.... talk about Divine appointment and to think I wasn't going to watch this video. Glad I did.

I love y’all’s story! To God be the glory! My bf and I have basically been in the same boat. We’ve known each other for 8 years and a lot of back and forth but its going really well now and I do believe God is working it out for us. God bless y’all and congratulations! ❤️

I love this, this really shows that relationships aren't perfect and the process of it can be messy sometimes. I've heard from so many christians that you know its the right one when the relationship is right. It's comforting to know that I am not the only one who has gone through this.
