When my best friend from grammar school got married, her husband told her she wasn't allowed to be my friend anymore. It was such a disappointment that she went along with that. I have never looked twice at her husband and it hurt that she could sever a 22 year friendship just like that. She knew me, really knew me. I'm glad you spoke about this today. I realize it was his insecurity or trust issues. It still hurts to lose her friendship 😢.

Grate conversation between them two , and they are real close and cool to one another

As a Christian woman who’s currently single, I am intentional about how I am around my friends’ husbands, (the way I dress, certain convos, etc.). It’s not that there’s no trust or some ill intent on anyone’s part. But boundaries are important and we should flee the very appearance of evil/wrong. So I won’t find myself in certain situations or spaces, just to avoid what it may look like. I honor and respect their marriage and our friendship. Now, that doesn’t mean I take off running every time he enters the room 😂 or that I can’t spend the night at their house, if needed. It just means I’m conscious of the carnality of humans and will always aim for integrity.

This is exactly how I think. You said it well. I lived with my friend and her husband for a time. I had boundaries for myself and respected their marriage. The devil can use anything and we can never get too comfortable. I never looked at her husband in any way other than a brother and it was the same for him but the Devil loves to disrupt anything that God put together.

I love the relationship you all have with Janae & I actually think it’s very mature. I had an issue a while back my best friends spouse not liking me simply bc I was his wife’s single & attractive friend. Mind you, I have never been a promiscuous person, one to mess around with my friend’s man or a friend who would ever tell my friend to cheat on her man or anything crazy like that. His insecurities caused him to dislike me for no solid reason & his wife agreed. So, I personally do not see anything wrong with how you all move with Janae & clearly you all have discernment regarding her character. I’m quite sure you all wouldn’t allow just anyone with that kind of access to you both. However, there are def certain people that CAN be trusted to have that kind of friendship & bond like you all have with Janae. Every relationship is different and I feel like if both parties are okay with it then it’s really no one else’s business.

Thanks so much for this!! Could you all please make a video or follow up on recovering from “messing up” before marriage, especially when you and the person want to stay together and honor God?

I am not married never was, but i really appreciated the two of you sharing this, and i enjoyed this very much ,thanks ❤❤❤❤

This was a good conversation. I think that every marriage and person is different so we won't all share the same perspectives. I also wanted to add that it's not always insecurities when others use discernment or may feel like they need to set some boundaries around the opp sex friends. Before I was married, I could talk openly and free around friends, especially opp sex. But when I got married, I knew that this had to end. Bc even tho yes you may trust your friends, sometimes they may feel too free to ask or do things. It could cause a lot of confusion. We can't control everything. But, at the same time, you have to give a little benefit of the doubt that everyone is human regardless of who they are or how well or long you've known them. Ppl are humans and I think boundaries are a must at times. I don't think you have to be too strict but you do want to be gatekeepers of your home and just pray and use discernment. I think the only person we should ultimately trust is God. Yes you trust yourself, your family, your friends but they aren't God. We are not perfect. We shouldn't go around thinking the worst of people or what might happen but we shouldn't also be too free or confident that something couldn't go down. I think there's a limit to everything.

This was both hilarious and hard hitting with a lot of truth bombs. I loved it here!! I totally relate when Brian was talking about how growing up Christian and being a virgin, he thought it also meant not talking about sex. I wish we had healthy conversations about sex from our parents and just other adults we trust, because by the time you get to your teens, all your friends are talking about it but in a very skewed way because of what they've seen in movies or largely influenced by pornography.

Being *alone* with someone of the opposite gender as a married person is not a good idea. If your spouse is their I don't see an issue. We have been married 20 years and it's a general idea we try to follow. Great video.

Omg this is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤ both only been with each other 🎉🙏🏽 … believe me you have the best of everything…. Every one having casual sex is looking for what you’ve found… its so bad to sleep around and thope that it works out or that the person calls 😢😢😢😢 its the worst…

DO NOT talk to your friend about your sex life, they can become envious or curious without even thinking it's affecting them. Do not allow your friend to be alone with your man, never without you. Temptation is always at your door. Spending the night when I'm home would not have been a problem for me, but leaving my husband and a friend alone is a no, no. None of us are perfect and Satan is always seeking whom he can devour.

Really great conversation I'm learning a lot. The best part for me is having that open conversation on intimacy with my mate. I'm a Christian on the verge of getting married. I have a friend not my fiance but a long time guy friend who he was formally married then divorced. We tastefully chat it up and he's always mentioning giving my soon to be husband quickies. I was wondering if light could be shed as to what impact this creates for men. I ask because I ve viewed quickies as a man using a woman for sex or getting off on it seeing the lack of intimacy. In short wouldn't it be a shorter version of wham bam thank you ma'am . Hopefully this is a tastefully asked question

Very nice and informative.

Once a week 🤯 that is sad! I have NO clue how or why Y'all are on my line, but this was a cute, good, funny convetsation. An important one. Im 15 years in amd KNOWLEDGE IS KEY!

Thankyou guys for this insightful conversation. As a single young womam waiting for marriage, you´ve shown me what good communication looks like. And the beauty that comes with being transparent with your partner on issues like sex and intimacy. May God bless your work😊

I really appreciate this conversation between you two. I am always trying to be open with friends, and unfortunately, this is a tabou subject for them. Especially with men who think they know everything and they know women better than women.

This was a very good podcast. You have to think about the generation when it comes to talking about sex openly.

Just started but funny enough my husband is the same, he is satisfied if I am. And he even say he enjoys it more 🥰 which I still don't completely understand, lol,but hey😊 He also likes to ask how IT was or what could have been better, and I at the other hand felt so awkward talking about it since it is so taboo in our culture but got more comfortable answering or redirect if needed. Off topic, my husband actually looks like Brian funnily enough, or Brian looks like him since mines is older😅

I'm glad that you spoke on that waiting for the right person and because my children haven't they didn't and it is all messed up when you don't wait for the right person we would talk that I was raised that way but sometime you know you think you got the right person you don't I wish that we had a just really waited on the Lord about meeting the right person how do you know you have the right person you know cuz my family we made a lot of mistakes and we had the wrong person and I was wish we had a waited for the right person to come and that's what I try to tell my children which is grown now and they both is unmarried they what they was married but they were just not the right person

Great channel.

The connection comes during the day b4 you go to bed. Then when you connect in bed that connection explodes, it gets even better.

8:42 Im on the same page as cole, somone needs to explain that because it makes no sense why you wouldnt want your partner to feel good. My worst nightmare would be being intimate and having the other person not be satisfied

So good

I like the trust you have in each other and your friends, but I've also learned it's good to never think you are beyond being tempted by something. I've learned that Satan is very patient and waits for an opportune time to tempt. Something that would normally NEVER be a temptation to you can become a temptation under the right set of circumstances. Notice how when Satan tempted Jesus, he waited until Jesus had fasted for 40 days and THEN he came - knowing Jesus would be at his weakest physically? He didn't show up at the beginning or the middle of the fast when Jesus would have been stronger. Satan waits until he knows we are weak. We can never put too much trust in ourselves. But again, especially as a single woman myself, I do admire you trusting your single friends and your spouse

It doesn’t automatically lead them to be soo curious that they overly desire the forbidden fruit with any worldly topics. However, it depends on who’s talking to them and how.

I’m like 6 mins in and had to go back and start all over again

I love it u know ur wife

I know one verse that has helped me in intimacy is, “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.” (Mark 14:38) I understand it’s wise to have a prayer life to guard your heart and mind against temptation. Not just a physical space you share like your home, but your mental space. Only Jesus can cover a person when they trust His ways.

Some people just don’t feel comfortable having the conversation.

Maybe even uncovering why it’s uncomfortable in the first place and doing whatever it takes to help remedy that.

Whoa, this was way too intimate. I don't know how people can expose themselves for the sake of making a living like this. I know church's hold seminars and retreats exclusively for married people which in my humble opinion is a better setting to talk about and share with fellow Christian's without compromising yourself or your spouse.

Did you guys wait to have sex until you were married?

In my humble opinion I don't think they should So much of their sex life and intimacy in the public cause If couples are doing that would you have left the mystery What are you going to do next?What can I expect for her to do next When it comes to sex, I think intimacy is the element of surprise. when it's happening aname. N, that is more arousal. So when couples are putting too much of their private life bars, intimacy and sex. I think that's crossing the line to where then. There's no element of surprise and not surprised but element of what do we have for ourselves...what is it that is intimate Between us It's a very thin line again if you put too much out there.When the cameras are off, then you're sit.There, watching the paint drive.Something would be lacking and missing.Because you have exposed everything even talking about it between each other.You can talk about with each other needs but when it comes to Intimacy and sex There's a fine line.. Couples keep a lot of stuff regarding sex and your lives to yourself.
