[@rara7805]

First thing, we put God first. We pray together, we go to church together. You gotta have that trust. When we disagree about something, we talk it out instead of arguing, and we come to an agreement. Everybody marriage is different, and everyone are going to have different problems. whatever problem you have, never go to bed angry with each other. Pray about it and talk it out. Arguing doesn't get you anywhere. We spend time together, but we also give each other space. My husband parents have been married for 63 years, now that's a blessing 😊.

[@writerspen010]

@Jenna P nope, not necessarily. Especially if you're getting married during peak season, when a lot of dates have been snatched up. If you're doing the whole scha-bang, the wedding dress alone takes a minimum of 6-8 months to prepare. Plus, weddings are expensive. It's not unreasonable to take over a year if it takes you that long to have the money saved up for the various deposits you'll make over time.

[@Rooted_Locs]

If you propose to somebody, you should be ready to marry them the next damn day! People these days focus way too much on the wedding ceremony and not enough Fucus on the actual marriage. Get married in court, plan your grand ceremonies later.

[@larajensen1821]

I agree

[@teenatheist5251]

I’ve been with my fiancé for a little over four years. We got engaged on our four year anniversary and we plan to get married on our 6 year anniversary. We decided on a long engagement to have time to plan and to save up (we’re both 21). Two years may seem like a long engagement to some, but we both felt that it was the right amount of time. Even though it’s still a year and eight months away, we talk about the wedding daily and are saving up. I think your engagement can be as long as you feel works for you, as long as both parties are in agreement. Plus, the engaged part of a relationship is super fun and I’m just enjoying all that goes along with it. 💕

[@cathkails]

I was 22 when I got engaged, 4 months shy of 23. We got married when I was 25 (2 months after my birthday). So the engagement was about 2.5 years long. But, we lived in different states until 8 months before the wedding. Once we lived in the same location, planning went into over drive. Money was partially a factor. We paid for our own wedding out of pocket, without going into debt. I did all the cooking and decorating and everything. I even did my own wedding photos (hello timer and tripod)...and they turned out great, btw. Sometimes there are legitimately reasons for a longer engagement. For me, I just wanted some sense of commitment since we had already been dating at the point for close to 5 years when he proposed.

Finances can also dictate wedding plans though. Even if you're both ready for it, even a small wedding costs money. I think the proposal should come with a rough timeline, though, and concerns like paying for the wedding should all be mentioned early if not at the same time. Some people do have long engagements because they're saving up for the wedding rather than because someone isn't ready.

Then I bought the ring and proposed and we got married 6 months later because everything was planned and it was just about getting everything paid for and set up. Buying the decorations and the invitations and all that but if it had been up to her we would’ve gotten everything set up gotten engaged and then gotten married the next day.

So what happens to the "You Tried It" and "Lies You Tell" segments? Do they give Tamar back all her intellectual properties? Do they keep using her lingo as titles on KZbin videos, Instagram posts and Facebook statuses? Her creativeness made up roughly a nice portion of the show, and lets be honest, they capitalized off it.

[@zora99ny]

Tamar should trademark her catchphrases.

[@umar609040]

She owned those trademarks way before this show.

[@ImJerkBoii]

A lot of gay mannerisms come from black women though. Slang phrases like "You tried it," "Lies," and "Shade" and all that comes from gay culture. But tongue smacking and what a lot of people call "acting ghetto" come from black women.

[@ImJerkBoii]

***** I did not say ghetto behavior comes from black women. I said behavior that people consider "ghetto" come from black women. Slight - yet important - distinction. Ghetto only has a negative connotation when it is given one. I was simply using it to indicate the behavior in a way that most could understand. What I should have said to not confuse - and am saying now - is that Tamar (and effeminate gay men) act in the typical fashion of SOME black women who are typically from the hood, who act in an "exaggerated" manner. Think Sheneneh from Martin. Gay men (and Tamar by extension) portray a caricature of the "ghetto black woman." That caricature includes a lot of tongue smacking, eye and neck rolling, snapping, etc.

I met my husband in college. We were together for a long time before we got engaged. I wanted him to propose after a year of us being together but at the time we were living in different states. I was surprised the long distance thing worked. It was when we celebrated our five year anniversary when I started to get impatient. I knew I didn’t want to be a girlfriend forever. I wanted the ring and everything to follow. He proposed when we got our house and I was like, “FINALLY!”. We planned our wedding in six months and got married that same year. We’re almost three years in and he’s still putting up with me. So I’d call that a win. If dating is the game then marriage is the prize.

Who's still watching these Tamar videos in 2020🙋‍♀️

[@jmeiahb2608]

🙋🏾‍♀️

[@maliksomers19]

Still do in 2021

[@grintsgirl051]

I agree. It should be within months like a year. Engagement means you are ready to get married but need a little to prepare for the celebration.

[@zeezee5740]

My hubby proposed and we were married 6 months later we decided to spend the money on a house .

[@crystalanamericaninsicily]

When you get the RING... organize the Wedding. Period!!

[@jennifernangboa]

Very true I agree!! I miss tamar on this show😢

[@joshuaotuko4560]

Oh my sister Tamera,those pieces from Mama are a thing to hold and cherish in your day today life.Thanks for sharing

[@anthoneyferrell3756]

CAN I JUST SAY THIS IS A DOUBLE STANDARD! Women- say yes even if your not sure. Men- You better be sure.

[@vickss9306]

Anthoney Ferrell and she too is dumb, why say yes if you’re unsure? The planning of the wedding is the engagement. The courtship is when you decide if you see longevity

[@tormentorchick1755]

This is the first time I'm hearing women doing that, so it's probably rare, but I don't know. Men tend to propose just because they want her to shut up about it and want to keep her around without the commitment but women tend to be more serious about it.

[@rochellethundercloud8886]

I'm engaged. have been for almost three years.been with my man for five. we aren't focused on a wedding yet,because we are moving, paying off a lot of debts, and working on getting my situation fixed first.these are more important to us than a lousy piece of paper. I rushed into marriage once.not doing it again. we have things to deal with,get everything in order, then,maybe.

[@tentrickspony8925]

Never pressurise you partner to marry. You both have to want it and you both have to agree on the terms and conditions of your relationship. And please as women you have to take accountability for your part in your relationship. And remember, If it's not working, Guy has every right to walk away as much as you do😉

[@tilfaunherring8565]

I love these show! I also love to hear people talk about relationships. I agree with Jeanie. Marriage is a big , big, step! I don't think that you need to rush and get married after you become engaged. Marriage is a lifetime commitment that you are making to each other! Being in engaged for a good good while gives you time to think about if you want to marry that person. If you are engaged at the age of 21, you should definitely have a long engagement..

[@missnlahi]

Tbh that's what dating is for. Engagement is making the decision that you're ready to move forward.

[@finurra3905]

I am addicted to these little talk show segments!! Loves it!!!

[@ForeverAutumn77]

I love Tamera's look and I love that top knot,simple yet elegant!

[@RashonWill]

I agree, the least he could do besides propose to let me know he's really ready is set the date!

[@fromspace7]

I'm so glad I learned about these types of values. I grew up in Scandinavia and never heard about any of these traditional ideas. It was just all about living together for 4 years before you even get engaged, and an engagement is one year MINIMUM. And an engagement doesn't even necessarily include a proposal! Blerghhh. So glad I found out about old fashion romance!!

[@sarahjaynescott545]

ugh feminism ...

[@pablopedro8598]

My fiancé and I have been engaged going on two years but we haven’t had much money and kept waiting to be able to have a wedding. Well now we are just tempted to get eloped because a wedding just isn’t justifiable with how expensive things have gotten. I sometimes feel embarrassed because we haven’t gotten married but weddings are hard so we just going to elope or maybe a small get together

[@shaedapooh]

Me and my husband got married last year and we were 20 years old. We got soooo much hate and negativity about how we should wait a couple years and wait til we finished college and stuff like that. But when you know the both of you are made for each other and can't imagine being with anyone else, WHY WAIT? People think they are so right about young people getting married and have all the answers but in the end be COMPLETELY wrong. I'm just venting here lol but I think people should just mind their business and and be happy for the couple. If they are gonna make mistakes or end up not being together then that's on them. So much negative comments and people really showed us who was rooting for us and who was against us :)

[@emilywh1974]

I think people are confusing a long engagement with just a total waiting period. If you are planning a wedding for a few years in the future, that’s great because you’re still planning. But if he proposes and then doesn’t want to start planning at all and it’s just totally in limbo, that makes no sense.

[@sarickacampbell2642]

Jeannie never wanted to marry Freddy. She was never in love with him the things that she said on the show like she wasn’t ready. She wasn’t excited 😆. Things you would say out of context like marriage is hard marriage is so hard like it’s obvious it wasn’t meant to be. I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to be that hard. Not to mention the awkward moment when Freddy told everybody that Jeannie is not sexually attracted to him.

[@KingGemiinii]

LONNIE!!!!!!!! "you'ved lived your life adrienne baillon" 😂😂😂😂

[@britney-leejohnson9572]

Tamar was the only one who was not afraid to give her real opinions, she didn't try to be politically correct

[@SWEETLILLY2]

Gonna miss you TayTay especially for segments like these... I don't know how the producers could just sit in a conference room, discuss the upcoming season three and decide that Tamar was the one they wanted to eliminate immediately... Especially when she's the life of the show! I loved watching because it was different from all the other boring talk shows I've seen. These women helped me get through a break up during the pilot season... Helped me learn to love myself again during the first season and since then I have been following these women and watching this show. I am not a Tamartian but I like Tamar and respect her opinions a lot. Yes she may have an 'out there' personality but that's what I love about her. She doesn't conform to what society thinks she should be. She's herself and if she has to get fired for being herself on the show then The Real wasn't real after all. Love you TayTay and I wish you all the best pumpkin schmunkin xoxo ☺

[@JRob594]

out of all the comments I've read yours was the realest

[@SWEETLILLY2]

Thank you dj_oldskool​ ☺ I like to keep it 💯... No time for fakeness in this already fake 🌍... Peace and love!

[@SWEETLILLY2]

+Breaking News says you!!!... Have a nice day ☺

[@anaadventures7669]

we had an 18 month engagement bc we wanted to have a nice wedding fully paid for to go into our marriage debt free.

[@EssenceSweet]

Aww I love the original 5. Also 5 seems to be a good number, they need 5 hosts again!

[@CeCeTyshay]

I'm going to miss Tamar's energy and input, every one of them is important. But yeah, I agree with them, I'm not waiting forever, within a year, let's go.

[@314fearless]

I got married at 18- and had an eight month engagement. It was right for us! We were ready to enjoy being married 😊

[@sadafsaharkamal320]

I really loved Tamar. I really wish her back on the show! she is soo funny and brings something new to the table

[@LaythWazir]

Never Trust your Co- workers, they are just Co workers not friends! Tamar learned it the hard way!

[@JonnieDavis]

Her Co- workers had nothing to do with it

[@dori9090]

Stop with the rumors they didn't have anything to do with it Tamar is mad at lo I cuz she took and hour to reply to here, so stop with the rumors

[@reecemarshall7322]

Silly man bitch

[@xAaeiynx]

Once again, I agree with Jeannie. I wish she would've expressed my feelings on Weddings, in general. Y'all know how expensive Weddings are? I understand I can have a small Wedding, but I want the people I love there. I've been engaged for three years, now and still not in a hurry. IK he ain't leaving me, and the term "husband" is merely a title, anyway. The contract just legally binds us, together. Besides, my relationship is my business, anyway. We're happy and share the same feelings. When we get married, we get married. I'm in no hurry to rush to get there.

[@marier1542]

its true if youre certain in your relationship there's no need to rush. i think ppl rush to get married after the engagement bcus theyre afraid the other person might change their mind or go astray, but thats not a good sign either! the only thing is , if something happened to the person (like death) i guess the partner's biggest regret would be that they never got the chance to get married.

[@xAaeiynx]

marie R I agree to an extent. I've never been good with handling the aftermath of death, anyway.

[@xAaeiynx]

@@marier1542 It's been a few years, now, and I happen to come back to this comment. I'm married, now ^_^

[@MasonPerry7]

I don't like to plan too much, things never work out, We can set a date, but the actual planning, we should take it a step at a time.

[@umar609040]

Same, I let my mom and sister plan my wedding.

[@cassandratype4]

But if you let 1 year pass and never address it nor plan, it means you are not ready..

[@VHale-yz7hc]

If you can't plan a wedding how are u going to plan a life with someone

[@MasonPerry7]

From my experience, I am more successful, when I just wing it. Because when I plan, I tend to set high/borderline unachievable standards. I have ideas, and goals, but I always change my mind, or a better idea, or a new goal replaces what I originally had.

[@ScoobyShawn98]

Tamar pretty much knew jeanie wasn’t ready then jeanie realized years later and found happiest

[@NRBlnktd]

Can I just say that when Tamar was out because of health issues, the show was NOT the same. I was there when Tamar returned and you can feel the genuine love from the audience. She is an important part of the show and I think it's fucked up to just fire her out of the blue. I just want you guys to know that if ratings spiked during that time, it was not because she was gone but because we were all worried about her health and hoping for updates. #BringTamarBack
