You will be just fine my love. I got married at 25 to a guy that I had been dating for 5 years. After 18 months of marriage he told me he wanted a divorce as he was not the 'married type'. I had no kids, however i was devastated and depressed by the whole situation. He served me with divorce papers, I signed it and moved on with my life because after all as you said you can't force someone to be with you. I will be 40 in a couple of months, been married to an amazing man for 11 years and have 3 beautiful children. Life is full of challenges and this too shall pass. You will get through this storm and come out stronger than ever! Stay strong beautiful for you and Val. Lots of love Xxx

This is a message in general. Church attendance, ministry titles ,and lip service doesn't make someone a Christian. Christian singles, please make sure that the person you marry has been born again, is broken and repentant over their sin, fears the Lord and seeks to honor Him in public and in private. A person who truly loves and honors God will honor the covenant that they made. If you fear and reverence God you won't so easily break your covenant because you feel that marriage is no longer for you. Praying for you sis!❤

[@Options23]

Yes, and it's important to seek the lord, in regards to marriage, the lord still speaks and he will show us the way, if we seek him. We must truly seek the lord an attain a real knowledge of him. He has the plans for us but sadly many times we want to do our own will. JESUS CHRIST, IS THE WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE, there is no other way.

Please know that rejection is God's protection. I was married at 19, baby at 21. Divorced at 23 and remarried at 26. I finished my college degree (2 degrees). Nice home, great job, beautiful family and I am so grateful and humbled by the grace God has shown me. I truly believe that when something is for you, sometimes God has to remove obstacles and that can be a person. Know without a shadow of a doubt everything will work itself out. Take time to hurt and heal. You will find love again! Remember happiness is cyclical but peace is a choice. Choose peace because thats where you will find healing.

luvnpeace That was my moms biggest fear as well... she did not want to raise us in a broken family but I can honestly say that was the best thing she could’ve ever done for US ! As a little girl I had a great childhood (my mom, brother and I called ourselves the three amigos lol) We are all extremely close! The main thing I am very grateful for is my mom made it a point to NEVER speak bad about our biological dad (even before she got remarried) & she never allowed anyone around us (like her friends or family) to speak bad about him either.. it made a big difference! I was a complete daddys girl & honestly I was fine! It’s an understandable feeling to be worried but we were great.. my mom has always made sure we had everything we wanted and needed and we will always be grateful!!! She is literally my best friend! I am also so blessed and happy she showed me how to be a strong woman & not stay in an unhealthy relationship.. her leaving with two kids has always made me respect her so much because I remember them fighting, I remember how horrible the energy was in the house.. I know I was young when it happened but we were all sooo sooo soooo much happier when they divorced! I will pray for you and your babies during this process! Y’all will make it through and come out on top.. all of y’all will look back and see this was the best decision you could’ve made (my family talks about it all the time) !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We have both been married for 3 years, were pregnant at the same time and had our daughters close together...also we both trust the Lord as our Savior. The reason that u are able to smile is only the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, he will continue to guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. I know you won’t discuss your issues but did you both try counseling? (I’m sure between both your families this was suggested already). I’m so angry but your very disposition is an example of your faith in God and Him working within you. My only word of suggestion is wait before you sign papers. Tell him you will sign after 7 months. Pray and Fast that God will turn Cortez’ heart back to you. Stay quiet, don’t fight, beg or plead for him or be more than needed to him. Only discuss Val and let God do the rest. I am praying for you and your Williams Way Family . ❤️

Thankfully, God gives us grace to do what’s needed for our kiddos and for ourselves. Also, the other parent is the child’s parent as well. As long as the child is safe in the other parent’s presence, it’s best for the child to spend time with both parents and have a healthy relationship with both the mom and dad, even if the marriage didn’t work. 🙏🏾💕

I promise it will take a while to adjust but it will open your mind to so much and you will persevere over it all, may you continue to be covered by love and Gods abundance of blessings. I loved watching your family and it honestly gave me hope that I would meet someone new and have the family I always wanted but I think it’s important for us all to realize we have to take care of ourselves first and be the best we can be because man will continue to let us down time and time again but God will always be there!

[@Ceeflowers]

I was divorced in October I agree one person cannot keep a marriage together. I was from a two parent great upbringing while he never had male to show him how to be a man and head of household aka a leader. I left my husband after realizing that he would always put us second or third in his life. I realized in counseling a person will not change if they do not believe they are doing something wrong . By the time he got it together and wanted to come back I was no longer in love with him While we are great friends and often laugh and hold hands I know we are at two different places in our life. I grew up and was forced to take the role he did not want as a provider and leader (he did work but I made sure everything got done while working and going to school ) Going through a divorce is like losing a best friend it’s heart breaking. You will be ok Sis Cry if you need to scream if you need to and pull it together for your child/children. My Ex is an great dad just not a great spouse. I am a firm believer that I will love again and meet my souls mate he was not it but I did learn a lot during the 7 years we were married

Unfortunately, Cortez checked out a long time ago, however God will continue to give you the strength that you need. Please please please see a good therapist, not a church therapist but a licensed professional therapist and see her/him as long as needed. Some days you will need to cry and be angry, which is all normal. Please do not embrace false guilt, it’s not your fault that he never really loved you like a husband should love his wife.

I kissed a frog too and we divorced more than 7 years ago but now happily married to a good man now. It’s a process because you are mourning the death of a relationship. The self doubt, pity, lack of self worth are all apart of the process. Those feelings will come but let them leave as well. You seem like you’re in good spirits, keeping G’d first so good things will come.

Hi Alisha. I am sorry to hear of the divorce. I had an idea things weren't great but that happens in marriage.. for better for worse BUT I didn't expect this. From what I have seen of the content you have provided on this channel and the other channel, you are an amazing mother, wife and woman overall who motivates her husband (and others including me) and loves your family unit. I have seen Cortes as a very good dad to Valerie so I feel you will both be very good co-parents as long as you are both open and communicating about matters regarding Valerie. Keep your head up and you need not explain further about the ins and out of the divorce. It's none of our business but I appreciate you telling us of your current position. My heart truly breaks for you and your family but you will all be fine. It won't be easy but you are Alisha!💪😘 You will thrive and be even more amazing moving into this new chapter of your life. Stay happy and positive. Lots of love from London 😘🤗

Yes I was a good wife I had my bases covered but sometimes it's not you. In my case he hadn't gotten to live his life and nothing I could do would fix that. Natural instinct is to try and fix it and man did I try and it pushed him further away... somethings go beyond our control.
