Dre and Breanna Smith's Journey of Waiting: A Commitment to Consummate | Dear Future Wifey Ep 822

[@andreaexceedsrubies]

When Breanna said that the prayers were not coming from a place of hurt with him but from a place of gratitude, I truly understand that because there is something beautiful about the men who come to heal, restore and love us unconditionally.

[@crystalynn24]

Amen!

[@3peasinapodity]

Asé!

Marriages and relationships are all special and different. What makes one person happy might not make another happy. But I've found that there's always a way to solve problems. Five years ago, my wife and I were almost divorcing because of issues in our marriage, but we managed to work things out. It was a hard time, but it made us stronger.

[@RenaBalick]

I get what you're saying, and I genuinely want to find happiness too. There's someone special in my life, and even though we're not together at the moment, I can't imagine life without her; I love her deeply. I hope she comes back, and I'm fully devoted to making it happen. We've tried therapy and other ways to make things right.

[@UsinMigwal]

Saying farewell to someone you really love is never easy, but with the help of a counselor named Aurelia Maisie Goelet, my marriage stayed strong.

[@RenaBalick]

Your guidance is well-received. I'll quickly search for her online. Thank you. I'm optimistic that taking this approach will yield results for me as well; her absence is keenly felt.

[@UsinMigwal]

You should

To God be the glory🙌🏾

I’m always amazed by Laterras’s interview skills. He always ask such amazing questions. It’s clear he listens to each response closely.

[@Ladi1198]

This is so good…. “Good communication wasn’t open communication, good communication wasn’t honest communication, but good communication is effective communication. Making sure that the person that you are communicating with receive what you’re saying! (knowing your person) EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION!!!

[@cjboydchristiancounseling]

Wasn't that good! Knowing your audience and how they receive information is important.

[@LatonyaSmith-p2k]

That part! I thank God for DELIVERANCE!

[@LatonyaSmith-p2k]

Well

He has definitely given me hope that there’s still good men out there that respect and stay true to themselves and the promise he made to God. Thank you Dre

[@ngoziibehealthsituations]

It’s beautiful to see that people can wait and then come back to say its worth the wait…🎉🎉🎉

[@karenmcgee1869]

Amen❤!

[@kimberlystraughn2839]

Listening to him are the words coming from a mature man. He is a man not a boy or a teenager, a man. Thank God for his parents and God in his life. God bless their union!

[@jackieheath3748]

For someone who has been on an Abstinant lifestyle journey for Quite a While, this blessed my Soul! God is no respector of person. There's someone for me who is on their healing journey as well. With the same Heart posture, Grace, Patience, and Willingness to put in the necessary work🙌🏽

[@coachchauntea5222]

The grace Dre had for Bre definitely only comes from God 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I love that Laterras pointed out that some of the preferences that Bre didn’t meet initially, Dre worked with her until she worked through those issues. Their story isn’t a fairytale but God was in it the whole time and I love that!

[@aliciasandy2042]

I've come to realize, having a father present does not always mean they are good role models for the kind of man to get with. Sometimes they indirectly teach you the opposite as was in my case. I grew up with my dad and I subconsciously adopted alot of bad habits and thought processes that I now have to unlearn because they are not conducive for a healthy relationship .

[@karissa2795]

That man has been to her an example of “Husbands love your wife like Christ loved the church” ❤❤

[@whanchard]

Breanna, truly a beautiful heart and Dre what a man God. God’s beautiful children. True and honest, so helpful. When we all come to God with our weaknesses, He is so faithful in carry us and restore us. Only God, look what He has done and you both can testify to His goodness through your love and kindness to one other. I love how you both put each other first, even in your words during this podcast was so evident to see. Thank you for sharing and blessing us. ❤

[@addy1985able]

I truly enjoyed this episode. It reminds me of what it looks like when someone really wants to be with you. You don't have to be perfect. You can be your authentic self.You are enough .You can be a work in progress, but that person has made a choice to love you. That he or she wants you. Beautiful couple ❤❤

[@susanakaan810]

When people are ready to work on themselves it's easier to deal with them. Dre is a patient person, Breanna is very sincere and honest. Great couple.

[@HerSpace1st]

“All the things I was working on were all the things He was looking for”. Reminds me of the servant looking for Isaac’s wife at the well. I pray as women we truly grasp the best version of ourselves should be who we strive to be because she is beautiful. Then understand she is valuable in the eyes of a healed man.

[@Marshay]

I love how Dre acknowledged his imperfections as well, and celebrated Bre for being who she is!

[@latoyahammond1491]

In my 40’s post divorce and man! This was so beautiful to watch! I definitely took notes! Love yall!🤎

[@meenameena-dd2zy]

I am TRULY , TRULY, TRULY inspired by their story and authentic love for one another. May God bless them with a long life and prosperous marriage. THEY ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION

[@Tgallager2742]

The thing I liked about this guy is he stated he was happy in his previous relationship that’s why he didn’t start one thing before finishing the other. This says a lot about his character. Good show.

[@tanyamoore7227]

His love for her from the beginning is the epitome of agape love and truly loving like Christ! I absolutely love their love story and this was such an inspiring breath of fresh air. Beautiful ❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@hiawathia81]

😮 The man that is truly sent will feel like a kiss from God. That is life changing for me. Thank you

[@KatrinaRay-y6n]

This was beautiful. It just goes to show how healing true love really is.His love made her see God and even changed her prayers. She went from prayers of pain and anguish to prayers of praise and Thanksgiving. ❤ 🙏 😢

[@HeyKalayah]

Good communication is Effective‼️‼️‼️ Not just honest or open but EFFECTIVE.

[@GINNIEJOY5420]

I AM BEING SO BLESSED BY THIS CONVERSATION. THESE TWO YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FLOWING TOGETHER AND SPEAKING WITH SUCH MATURITY AND WISDOM. AND I AM WAY OLDER THAN BOTH OF THEM, BUT TRULY BEING MINISTERED TO BY WHAT'S BEING SAID. SO GLAD I DIDN'T MISS THE LIVE NOTIFICATION THAT POPPED UP ON MY PHONE FOR THIS EPISODE......👍👍👍

[@renawarner3403]

Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Maturity at its BEST!! Beautiful couple!

[@debrawilson1087]

This is an absolutely incredible episode because it unpacks the details involving relationship. It exposes where people walk away is where they should actually stay....and that is traumatic; for someone you trust to decide being with you is 'too hard' 😢😢💔 💔 Even young, this couple navigated through the intricate parts of relationship where commitment matters! Thank you 🙌🏽

[@ForMySoulSistas]

Loved how: - he was tempted and then got a text from Bre - they got each other's backs whenever they were individually thinking about their career - they talked about how awkward it was to have sex after 3 years of abstinence - they talked about pet peeves balance lol "Ppl feel like toxic love is reciprocating the toxic you're receiving, arguing because you care and having mad sex afterwards"

[@shavonhampton3535]

I love all of their Podcasts. They keep it real. Any age can learn from authenticity. They talk on the hard things. Like Dre said, the mechanics. That’s what I love about them. Most of all, I love they are getting it right so early.

[@stanleywade4033]

"Smooth seas don't make for excellent sailing ". Very good!!!🔥🔥🔥

She must be Gods favorite ❤ Having a good life partner is one of the GREATEST blessings

[@Kristal8619]

He stood on business about her👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@jamiehigh924]

Beautiful example of working hard for their love.

[@caroutherstc]

The level of in depth honesty, clarity, intentional communication, and a high level of intimacy before even truly touching one another to gain something far greater than a one night of passion vs. many nights of commitment, strength, a strong marital union, grace, and love that God has extended to you both for being obedient is so evident in this union. Mr. Whitfield, the way you are able to navigate a conversation to help a couple share their testimony is phenomenal and inspiring to many. Thank you all for sharing your trials and tribulations as we all travel this journey called life. You never know who needs to hear it or heal from it.🎉 Blessings, always.

[@RashidaB]

My face hurts, I smiled through this entire episode. ❤ This was beautiful...

[@gwendolynrodgers3996]

You have had many people on the yellow couch, but this, by far, is my favorite. There are so many good lessons. Thank you, Bre and Dre, for sharing ❤️.

[@eboneebritton8473]

Effective communication, the way it is delivered and the way it is received! Outside of all the gems dropped, this episode gave me some encouragement to just press on a little while longer.

[@Letstalk_LoveHopeFaith]

My peopleee I been apart of the Dre and Bree team since way back when!! Worth thee wait!! Their life and talents developing gets my hypeeee. I love to see Gods Love manifest in a couples life!! Soo encouraging!! ❤🌹💯

[@dothall9295]

Same❤I’m here for the long haul cheering them on praying for my partner to come

[@kakes7989]

This was beautiful. Love to see young BM on fire for Christ and follow his word.

[@janicetaylor1272]

Amazing, his love introduced her to God. That's the kind of man you want to have children with. Blessings to the both 🙏

[@jinajames3525]

I need to meet these parents cause they did a phenomenal job. ❤ They modeled well.

[@rose-annpatterson6607]

This is a true testament of being obedient to God. Amen

[@mjlthepoet4709]

Their story is amazing. As we get older and trying to date. I believe people think everything should be perfect. I wish people would have this fight today!

[@19Hollisterchick90]

They’re cute! I’m glad they talked about how there are things worth working through for love. Many think of the hard times being something dramatic like cheating, beating, and gambling lol, but there’s things like being argumentative that can be worked on with a partner willing to learn and grow.

[@yolandajones2718]

Such a great example of what healthy looks like. Iron sharpening iron. Loved this!

[@vallerywright1800]

I appreciate you Laterras for choosing great guess who's will to be transparency about there relationship. I really enjoy this young couple they have taught a lot. And what I have allowed in a relationship. Thank you all. ❤❤

[@shalethamarshall]

This was sooo good. It gives me hope waiting for my future husband!❤🙏🏾🙌🏾

Beautiful couple! Thank you for sharing your journey and blazing such a great trail with it that it can help people/couples both older and younger than you. 🙏🏽♥️

[@ourbreakthroughpodcast9353]

This has to be one of my favorite episodes. God bless them ❤❤.

[@bdraytod5748]

Great episode! It feels like I'm looking at my younger self. As someone who has been married for 19 years, I believe they have the right perspective.

[@latoyianicole5134]

THIS WAS SO GOOD. IM SO GLAD I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE DEAR WIFEY PODCAST

[@daichelbutler]

This is my new favorite episode! We all just want someone to come along & be patient with where we are in life if we have an action plan and are making strides in bettering ourselves. Lord jesus bless me with a patient & loving man

[@chavillamartin]

He walked in the expressed image of God

[@lesleyaddison1999]

I definitely believe that abstaining before marriage makes a deeper Connection with God and one another. Blessed Covenant is worth the wait. I am excited and look forward to it. Blessings to the Smiths on a wonderful episode.

[@sakiyabolden-hills2008]

This episode is a blessing and very transparent. It helps me know i can make it through my abstinence journey and continuing to work on my relationship with God, while working on becoming a wife ready to be found. God bless you all ❤.

[@kiawilson8911]

This was really good…thank you to the whole panel🙂

[@crespeakslife]

As a purpose and relationship coach that coaches single Christian women that desire marriage...I loved this conversation!!!!❤

[@cmcalexander28]

This was really awesome to watch Bri remind me of myself always angry, being the Robin Hood to the persons, feeling angry and ready to lash out. Bri you give me some much closure towards myself. You both have given me a sense of hopefulness

[@brittanyfigaro]

Ohhhhhhh my gosh. I loved this episode. Definitely will rewatch. Thank you for this

[@sylvietapos807]

Good morning! Oh, a Live! Thank you for doing this. I haven't finished the last episode, and because I didn't see an episode earlier this morning, I thought the season was over. I love this topic!!! Thank you for encouraging us to wait to consummate. I will watch the episode when I get off work.

[@Fitdascription]

I appreciate the transparency in this episode. They did very well in explaining things and how it affected them in both negative and positive ways.

[@vanessiajohnson3279]

Wonderful interview as always! Loved the heart posture and emotional intellegience displayd. LW you hit it on the nail with the "you can never remain faithful if you cant remain faithful to God"... Just so many nuggets in general regarding EFFECTIVE communication and discipline. Praying for this couples marriage that it may be a testimony of waiting!

[@isabellaliba654]

Thank you, learned a lot from the young couple Gob bless you

[@patricebethea9369]

This episode was so good!! It's like I needed to hear Bre's story now...I love how God is using dearfuturewifey to show relationships in all the many different forms! The good, bad, ugly, and great it's all just beautiful and very much needed! ❤

[@soulplay6995]

I agree...I'm learning soo much from these couples

[@denisewilliams7629]

Mr. and Mrs. Smith your testimonies are so refreshing. God bless you both.

[@ChastityStemmons]

Laterras is hilarious…”something is clearly wrong with you!” 😂😂😂

[@DearFutureWifey]

That's how be feeling. Lol

[@lauricescott8148]

Hallelujah❤Thank you God for still building kingdom marriages thru generations. This is hope for singles like myself, as evidence of the unseen. Following God’s Principles = Ephesians 3:20. Thank your for sharing your story 💕

[@feliciabranch4424]

This episode hit near and dear to me. When the intentionality in relationships is solid, it can withstand even the test that we are giving. When you're the right person, there's where you will find balance in communion.

[@crystalynn24]

You can truly see God working in this relationship. Thank you for sharing! Laterras asks the best questions to really dive into the story for understanding and clarity. I surely was wondering how they continued abstinence while living together. And the response was beautiful. When you truly have a relationship with God, it changes everything! ❤

[@wpooh6181]

I love LOVE! I also loved hearing both speak on how each depended on the strength of the other! Yes! Yes! Yes! Lord knows I have my weaknesses but Lord knows I have strengths as well. Great episode!!!!!!

[@thyrajoseph2720]

I loved this couple's story. This shows the potential danger of stifling our natural desires for too long. I'm not a fan of long engagements for this reason. The decision to live together made this more dangerous and it not only affected their sex life but even basic intimacy like kissing. I'm happy that, through counseling, they were able to come to a place where they enjoy making love, but I would not recommend what they did. It goes to show that when we attempt to do things our way, there will always be consequences to deal with. They seem to really love each other and I'm happy that God is the foundation of their relationship. I pray that they are blessed with many years together. I am praying for a man that loves God so much that he wants to please Him more than anything, so he has also committed to being abstinent till marriage. It's not an easy road, especially when you've already tasted the fruit, but I know the wedding night will be well worth it! You did a great job with this interview, Laterras! Beautiful letter! 💞❤

[@Wattslois]

I absolutely love her

[@KelleyPegues]

This podcast hit so close to home for me. I didn't get to marry my fiance, but a lot of the same things they dealt with my fiance and I had those same trials. When she said she knew Dre was her husband because he worked with her, it was the same for me. Great interview.!!!

[@KP_FruitsoftheSpirit]

Beautiful couple. I love their journey in their love story. First, by setting standards and expectations by enduring the disappointment of their realities. I admire setting clear boundaries and holding themselves accountable to them. I admire them embracing each other journey through their transformation, demonstrating, supporting, and apape love with clear, effective communication. ( Love saw it), and God saw the effects as well. She saw the "Good In God," especially when we think our good was better. I love to see God's love is still good. He will not forget us.❤️🙏🏼

This is the first episode I can think of that really hit home and made me cry. So many things Bre said that resonated and made me reflect. Phenomenal episode Laterras

[@paulitamoore2246]

Awesome episode!! Thanks for sharing your story with us! Yes that prayer for your spouse is different when you see God's love through them for you!

[@obiobianuju7513]

Mechanics that accompany the Chemistry of our relationship! One key takeaway from this episode ☺️

[@Yokasijo]

I love this.. open and honest communication is only affective if its receptive.

[@consuelogahs4853]

Absolutely, gifts with a purpose

[@mpho.tsasane]

Thank you for this couple i learned so much especially about letting each other be as you found them and trust God to be the one doing the work, about patience and most importantly boundaries 🙏🏼❤️ God bless their marriage

8 month reconnection...8 is the number of new Beginnings ❤❤❤❤

[@theresalucas9477]

I appreciate Breanna’s honesty about the anger baggage 🧳 she brought to the relationship. And waiting for sex before marriage is relatable too. Really enjoyed this episode ❤.

[@lorenabelcher2633]

Loved this episode ! ❤❤❤ their perspective , process and transparency !

[@chanellsmith3204]

Love is a choice. Love is a risk. ❤

[@MichaelAlexander1967]

These are some serious "grown-up" issues that this couple had to deal with as very young adults. OMG! The creator of the universe, God is awesome amazing and able to do his will perfectly. It is so miraculous how God, develops people in seperate spaces at the same time, then brings them together to accomplish mission, after mission, after mission. This is one of those amazaing Love stories. I'm thinking in the same apartment, in the same bed, no sex before marriage - nobody but God! Lord, I love you for your eternal teachings and your perfect plans. I love when she said, "our new hobby". Many thanks to the Smiths and Latarras for your time on this video. Jesus is the eternal Teacher, the Word, made flesh. 🙌🙌🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤

[@tgardner297]

This is super good!! I love the way they give one another grace!

[@shantakoa8596]

My God DFW introduction melts my heart ❤ pray Laterras find your wife. I will continue to let God lead if marriage is in my plans.

[@stephaniewilkins2534]

[@CharlieAnnCampbell]

This is a powerful couple in the Kingdom of God. I like seeing young men who know who they are and who know how to lead with the heart of God.
