"Whatever you won't deal with will deal with you" Dondre Whitfield.

[@onyxsta]

I just got to this too - therapy is necessary!

[@pleasurepartytennine8677]

AMEN TO THAT

[@lexxisblessed6702]

Gold ✨ I just was coming to post it

[@naturallydope6971]

That PART

[@jordanesmith6128]

To the first question: I think his wife might be depressed and need healing. If she does not want to do anything including washing dishes, that is an indication of something deeper.

[@AlexisCarterNotaryMentor]

I thought the same thing.

[@allyb5156]

Men are clueless. She's bored with the domesticated lifestyle and probably her marriage in general. He wants her to wash dishes but she wants to be rinsed and spunned like a dishwasher if you know what I mean 😉

[@jordanesmith6128]

Ally B LOL

[@aprilwhitaker410]

I was thinking the same thing!! That sounds like depression to me

[@tamaraderouselle7133]

Who WANTS to do dishes? I'm with Ally B.

[@batirtzeurkiaga4973]

Most definitely! She she speak up more often!!

[@cherishdeb]

Melissa is in her bag. Come on Queen!!! She needs her own show!

[@saustin8387]

[@ninaoglesby2133]

I concur! She's so passionate and well-articulated.

[@queenesther743]

I love that, “we are the most traumatized people in this country” “whatever you don’t deal with will deal with you”!!!!!!! #therapy

I have to say...Kevin's wife....😍😍😍😍!!!He married a Nubian Queen for real.

[@rosej5029]

Her name is Melissa.

[@katharine1285]

Melissa is the motherflipping GOAT! lord this woman is so intellectual and has grown within herself in so many ways and I love it!

[@cherishdeb]

Melissa is in her bag. Come on Queen!!! She needs her own show!

[@ayanaresellerqueen1685]

She does I believe. It's a Podcast

[@avaholloway32]

It's called The Love Hour podcast

[@2Lovelifedaily]

Yes Melissa!!! When you sit down with a professional, you will learn that anger is a secondary emotion. We can assist with identifying that primary emotion. 🤓🙌✊🏾🖤

[@ashawndel3949]

The first question I think he was try to say he would liked for his wife to enjoy doing things he enjoys. Even if it’s not something she wants to do just go places do things he’s interested in supporting him even if she doesn’t like to.

[@AlllSmiless]

Melissa 👏🏾 said👏🏾 it👏🏾 perfectly!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ACETHEEGR8]

Didn't she???? Lovvvvve her

[@ARSC24]

you betta tell it. "Un met expectations can be dangerous" Mercy!!!!! Thats it right there.

[@allyb5156]

Ok Kevin and his wife (didn't catch her name) should be hosting this! They got all the gems and seems like the most authentic out of the other couples

[@naturalfabulosity]

They do videos like this all the time on his wife KZbin channel... Mrskevonstage

[@BluDrop5]

Her name is Melissa.

[@tporter6495]

They have a podcast called The Love Hour on her MrsKevonStage channel. Its so good! Go check out more of their gems

[@LB-kr5ku]

I agree. The couple in the middle seem phony IMHO.

[@ARSC24]

"In marriage you can be right or you can be happy" That's it right there.

[@amberbright6573]

"We both worked really hard to find our way back to each other." So strong. Unity in action. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@christthelord91]

Melissa you should get a degree in this!! You're really good at analyzing ad articulating it!!

[@sharone.langley2923]

I was thinking the same thing

[@ayanaresellerqueen1685]

She has a Podcast Mrs KevOnStage

[@fuluk.5336]

Melissa will one day host her own show on a larger platform!!!

[@bplatonova]

For sure....

[@wongamas7185]

Melissa is sooo damn smart!

[@sharonb8545]

Ok this first guy with a question need to sit down and gather his thoughts........I agree with the love language “acts of service”, that’s my language but my hubby still doesn’t get that., this can really cause problems, whew!

[@ihama99]

Melissa. Love some her. She's wise and full of love.

[@hallisWorldVision]

Kevin's wife: "It's never about the little things!" That is so true and an on point statement right there! 😊

[@user-kx2vw8xe5h]

Good answer about bickering about lil things meaning bigger things (consideration)

[@RomualdKOUAMITCHAMBA1]

In your relationship (Marriage), you can be right or Happy. Choice is yours. That really hit me hard and deep.

[@JanilexToribio]

LOVE LOVE Melissa Fredericks

[@TarasStar]

Melissa is full of wisdom!! 💗

[@davidmalik9821]

I like the fact that they are giving it a shot (the producers of the show) because, with our experience in this country, Black love is a revolutionary act.

[@keshianserenity]

(Finger snaps) to Melissa because yesssss!!! Yessss to everything she said!!!

[@munahasan371]

Which one is Melissa

[@MyVlogTherapy]

You need to do things your partner likes to do and also your partner do activities that you like to do, equally. It’s a partnership, you extend the interest in eachothers activities, willingly. Or you sound look at your true feeling for your partner, if you don’t want to willingly please them.

[@4bfam]

1st question, the way he said "ladies" gave me the hebegeebees. He sounds like he still out in those streets. It also sounds like his wife is going through something. Possibly depression.

[@BluDrop5]

Maybe she's depressed because he's out in the streets.

[@keysihawkins4463]

Melissa girl, preach it . GOAT! that was a whole Black mental health session right there.

[@ShnikR1986]

I love the "wheel of emotions" that Melissa was talking about. It unveils the layers of our emotions and lile she said, there are easily identifiable emotions like sadness, anger, joy but the wheel further breaks down the layers to anger, sadness joy and so on. 🙌🏽

[@rosej5029]

Melissa is preaching the TRUTH. For both husband and wife it's not about the toilet seat it's that the spouse isn't considering the other person.

[@jarhonda2702]

Melissa's dropping wisdom gems 💎

[@growthrulove]

When they were talking about feelings and not knowing what they are, I personally struggled before with that. I noticed that through my spiritual journey of becoming more self-aware, I can now not only recognize what I am feeling, but I can also tell you exactly why I am feeling it, and where in my life I picked it up the trigger. I am in a relationship currently with someone who is also self-aware and it's quite new, but often times we have these conversations about certain things that trigger us both, and we talk about where they came from in our lives. These types of discussions have not only helped us understand each other better but even ourselves as individuals. Things he says helps me to put the trigger into proper perspective and see it for what it truly is, a defense mechanism that isn't going to help me be a better person or help the relationship flourish. And then I will sit in my alone time and ponder about how I can improve upon my behavior. So hearing them talk about that to me was key, and truly needs to be discussed more in the black community especially. Awesome video.

[@TenealeBenderMusic]

There is a certain level of maturity that has to exist for a couple to communicate on these levels demonstrated and one person cannot be the only one dedicated to growing the healthy communication skills for a great relationship to work. I find that I tend to be an over communicator and tend to be attracted to men who are reclusive and maybe even emotionally unavailable.

[@creyonamacklin2906]

It took me forever to understand the first question... I was looking at the screen like huh???

[@SheniceSays214]

Agreed

[@ItaliFirenz]

The question was like 5 minutes long. And then he wouldn't shut up so that they could try to give him an answer.

[@dreday8329]

He wasn't prepared and didnt even ask the question properly

[@allyb5156]

Why don't the Hostess allow her mate to speak, he was making a good point and she just interrupted. As a woman I want to hear a man perspective on these topics.

[@ACETHEEGR8]

Interesting what ppl see because I think Tommy talks too much looking at the other videos

[@melanatedintelligence6977]

I just love black love and black People !!! I’ve been binge watching all week!!

Yaaassssss!!! I love you guys! Ya'll are teaching me exactly how to have healthy conversations with my partner 😊❤ We've never communicated so effectively before. Thank you so much!

[@Chocolate.barbie444]

Melisssssssssssa!

[@divinerae4966]

Thank you, I enjoyed this entire series!!😀🤗🙏🏼

[@wildewildestrawberries]

The 1st question was how to get his wife to feel inner motivation and enthusiasm and joy. Btw: Melissa is clinging to the corner of that couch like she wants to crawl into it.

[@615BlackBarbie]

" Are we gonna take this?" Ummm should that be a question. Yes, take it. It's a relationship question.

[@theunaBridgedversion]

I thought the same thing. Maybe she was thinking it was a prank or he was joking?

[@blazebrown9102]

There seems to be deeper issues in the marriage that need to be addressed. Get counseling.

[@Taytimethursday]

Dondre’s wife’s body language is saying a lot. There’s definitely something going on there. Btw, I loved his book!

[@lisabyrd2416]

I thought it was me looking for drama but I sense she is not feeling him

[@deja-58]

The first question 😆 LOL. I’ve been drinking

[@anbonner17]

Ended on a good note!

[@naturallysaundra1887]

Awesome show!

[@mimimaneuver5797]

I think the first question what he was tryin to say is how do I get my wife to go do things? I can relate cus my husband would want me to go out with my friends cus he would go hang with his friends n felt bad cus I’m n the house alone sometimes n bed just chilling honestly I liked it cus I’m a homebody but he would feel better if he know I’m out having fun too. But when I listen and end up goin out hanging with my girls he got Jealous and said I’m having too much fun🤣 but if u don’t want to do dishes nah something deeper going on.

[@syckindahead]

1:10 question I have too

[@BG-sq7zf]

"my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier." Yours sincerely, Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook

[@valeriefullilove1031]

Why waste your time? If you know what you really want, don't frivolously settle for less...That's how women get tripped up and stuck in something they didn't intend on dealing with and 10 years down the line wonder..."How did I get here?"...There's nothing "sexier" than being in a committed, productive, relationship with someone who has your back for more than a moment and you have his...Women, stop dating with no purpose. It gets you nowhere!
