[@angeliahudsonsmith6425]

Love his perspective! Laterris you should create a line of shirts for DFW that includes some of your sayings. Such as "I Love That", "Unpack That", "Let that Marinate", "Break That Down", "That's Good". 😊

[@wfwoolfringes7129]

Thanks for bringing him back he’s funny as hell and same time spitting real truth about marriage!💕

[@rugezajoyeuse5664]

Yes👏🏾

[@moniquedependable3782]

At 56, I’ve learned a lot spiritually about what the word says vs what our eyes have seen vs what life has shown me ( two divorces) vs my experiences. I’m thankful for this podcast I’ve learned about me and the him to be!

[@blackqueen67]

I agree!! This is a wonderful Podcast that gives hopeful, helpful information.

[@mrsrealbeal141]

The humor on the shows every time this Gentlemen is on here is amazing. It's make the show

[@ashleyc747]

Marcus's first interview was what brought me to the Dear Future Wifey podcast. I wish this was around before I got married. I had no idea what I was doing. Thank you for teaching me to be more intentional and for the great gems that are dropped on this podcast.

[@herFLYness79]

I immediately clicked ▶️ when I saw the thumbnail. 😂 I've never seen his stand-up but he's genuinely hilarious 😂

[@normareams4780]

I love his humor and transparency 😅. He truly made my day. God continue to cover and bless you both. True Men of God😊

[@febanhinton9735]

OMG…I absolutely love watching Marcus lecture through laughter. I’ve been pretty tired and sad today but watching this episode has been wonderful ❤❤

[@benitaallen2702]

Ok I saw the first time he was on the couch and thought it was a fluke to see him here again. Well, turns out he has more to elaborate on, and I'm here to listen. His humor in how he expressed himself is what keeps it real in real life. He is actually bridging the gap between the Word and the world!

[@LatinafortheLord]

Ehhhh!!! My brother said it raw real and RIGHT! SHE believes in HIM not every word that COMETH out of his mouth BUT she believes in HIM! I absolutely love his transparency. His says, My wife really REALLY into me! This is good stuff I love it! ❤😍🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@GregMunro]

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.

[@TrentReeves-c2k]

its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring her back

[@GregMunro]

Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?

[@TrentReeves-c2k]

Her name is *Victoria Lee hess*, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.

[@GregMunro]

Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive

[@kimberlycapers1983]

I have a question was she your wife or your girlfriend?

[@michellejeter3895]

Great conversation. Seasons change. Communication is key 🗝️

[@lifeingafter30]

I love this conversation ESPECIALLY in 2023! As a woman I want to be a helpmate to my partner in whatever capacity I can. That’s why it’s important to build a solid foundation based on what works for the 2 of you and not based on what society says is standard. If I need to support from the back , the sideline or lead in the front WITH my partner I’ll do it. God calls us to be a HELP-mate for a reason.

[@gracelong3975]

ABSOLUTELY AMEN 🙏🏾 HELPMATE 🙏🏾

[@mariawilliams558]

I'm always thankful to listen to the wisdom of Mr. Marcus D. Wiley. I say this with understanding!!! Amen

[@MyVlogTherapy]

He’s hilarious. I almost wonder if how someone supports you or is willing to support you, is apart of how well suited they are for you. 🙂 It’s a huge part of a relationship And Sea Green is one of my favorite colors, looks nice

[@amonmayoyo304]

Support doesn't always need to be optical ❤

[@thelmawilliams4500]

Love Marcus' view on what 'Support' means in his marriage. Helped me! 😊

[@NavigatingSinglehood]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Don't divorce your dreams!! Wait for your season!! Trust the process!! spoke volumes to me

[@lashanntriggs8687]

OMG!!! This just blessed my entire soul. Thank you men of God.

[@user-uj1ye2cb9e]

Marcus is speaking wisdom… which is lacking in the majority of people… without saying it blatantly, you are sharing how emotionally immature and fickle we can be, which throws off most relationships. I’m learning now more than ever that Comparison is the thief of Joy and we are guilty of comparison from social media and “coveting” what we think is where it’s at… thanks for taking it back to the basics of commitment and showing that value and support is different for everyone. We need more of it. 🙏 God bless

[@2B-Steele]

I absolutely love it when you have Marcus on and y’all talk. The conversation be so real…..

[@patriciaslaughter222]

Marcus is everything. God, him and his family.Come back anytime Marcus, please and thank you ❣️

Mr Laterras, respectfully and thirst-free but that colour, Aqua, turquoise or sea-green is your colour. It really suits you. 👍🏾

[@latecearzu2652]

I really love Marcus he’s so funny. He just keeps it real with his perspective 😂😂😂

[@sfreeman417]

Marcus is hilarious!! I hope he's coming to Atlanta! I appreciate the examples he gave of support. I agree. Support looks different for every couple. SN: Don't let social media dictate the tone of your relationships in what works in your relationship.

[@leahrufus6126]

Laughter is certainly good for the soul and thank you Laterras for this podcast and the guests that sit on the famous yellow couch and share their life experiences. So much is taken away for me personally and to God be the Glory for all that He has done!!!

[@lydiaheelu2681]

My favorite guest is back! Wow, what a treat.

[@gwendolynlewis5655]

Your response to the question: "Do you want to be wanted or needed" is really mind-provoking. I truly believe that at the age of fifty and a few accomplishments that I am still able to build with my king. We, together, can still build.

[@chrisparker6249]

Mr. Whitefield are you able to reconcile with your ex wife? It seems like there's still some lasting love there, just from listening to this conversation. Blessings to both you brothers for being so transparent. This is by far one of my favorite podcasts.🙏☝️🔥💪👑

[@BrittneyLashae]

Righhht! He slipped and said "My wife" the second time he referenced her!lol I hope they reconcile! He's grown and learned a lot since then.

Right! My thoughts exactly..

Did she remarry?

[@indyTyson]

Im so glad you brought him back. He is hilarious!!!!! 😂😂😂

[@newjuanisophia8236]

This was a GREAT conversation between two Grown Men!!!💪🏾 Also, he was funny, funny. Especially when he said " A Woman that don't work is unattractive to me"...😩😂😭 He's CRAZY!!!😩 And you also did a SPECTACULAR job with your style of questions!!!👍🏾 Also,it was special to hear a man say that he NEEDS his wife!!!🤗 However, I disagree with the notion of allowing people to "Show up the way they know how", because for me it sets a dangerous precedent for someone to Not show up for me in the manner that I have verbally communicated that I NEED to feel loved & secure.🤷🏾‍♀️ Granted, there is Grace that we give to the people in our lives, as we too need grace!!! However, consistently showing up for the people we love the way WE KNOW HOW to show up, means we're not truly meeting our partners needs ..🤷🏾‍♀️ And I believe that we LEARN who we love.🤷🏾‍♀️ For instance, if my Man said that he would like a private dinner & a movie to celebrate his birthday, but in all my lil " Wisdom & showing up for him in my own way" decide to throw him a huge party, with 100 folks, did I really even show up for him, or was that more about me...🤔 I just think that if we show up in the way that our partner NEEDS, instead of the way that we were taught/ conditioned growing up to show up for each other, there'd be less divorces. My lil two cents...🤷🏾‍♀️ All in all, I enjoyed you & your guest perspectives.🤗

[@BrittneyLashae]

Well said!! I agree.

[@monicalouis8333]

So true! Some people way of showing up is not at all 😮

[@jovyscorner]

Can't miss a Marcus episode, my boy hilarious 😂😂buh so brilliant 💕

So many people become selfish and not consider their mate. Unfortunately, that's what happened in my previous marriage.

Love hearing from Bro. Wiley!! Humorous wisdom and solid insights of what makes and keeps healthy relationships!! Keep on doing what you’re doing!

[@kimberlygregory7154]

This show was awesome and very informative. Marcus has a vast knowledge and wisdom of how to survive in a marriage. He rocks. He is very funny and I know his wife is so proud of him. Although, I would love to see her on there with him. I think that would take them both to another level, and it would be amazing what that would do for healing the audience. 🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

Mr. Latteras, I thank you for these eye openers...sir I learn something new EVERY episode...real men are all over this GLOBE...ALMIGHTY GOD, I continue to wait for husbands. Thank you.

[@lindacoleman3370]

The Beautiful thing about this is learning how to support one another even if your with someone who doesn't talk much. My husband is sometimes slow when he needs to apologize. He will do little things that he wouldn't do if he was still mad. It's cute! So, If I pay too much attention looking for the words, I would miss that the language his different. Putting in that effort truly has made the difference.

[@gwendolynlewis5655]

Between my wig cap & laughing at Marcus, my head is hurting..!! 🤣

[@thyrajoseph2720]

This episode was hilarious!!! I picked up lots of gems and was laughing while I did it! I truly appreciated this conversation. His wife is behind the scenes, but she is showing her support by supporting him in all that he does. I love that!! There is no cookie-cutter way to show support. I think that trying to format people in the way you want to be supported can backfire on you. You need to work together to come to a place where both people are happy. This was so good! Laterras great start to the season! I look forward to listening and viewing the rest of the season. God is your publicist! Loved your letter! So beautiful!❤❤

[@Dr.DeeDesta]

wishing all the best to everyone in the chat community. peace and love...........

[@gemstone1426]

So enlightening to hear mens perspective between need and want... within conversation between self and other sisters we describe a want as you have chosen to commit and be here v need is you have to be here..... Highlights the needs for us to continue communicating with intention to understand

Hey Laterras, it would probably be a great idea if you had some couples coming on in the future that had to learn how to merge together what they already have like you would have to when you get marriage. Really great point by Marcus.

Wanting someone will never be enough to make me stay. I need to need you and be needed. If I need you then I’m thinking about all the consequences of losing you. If I want you then I don’t care about you I just want what I want. A want is selfish to need you is selfless.
