EPISODE 10: You asked, we answered! (Season closer Q&A)

[@karinipanini6215]

No cause he’s right !!! WHEN I STARTED FORCING MYSELF to pray it started becoming better and then I started becoming so excited to pray and get in gods presence again

[@Megan.B]

On what Emanu said about the no gf tag. My boyfriend and I know we want to get married, if not obv why are we together BUT if he didn’t ask me to be his gf, I would have been heavily confused. Because why are you pursuing me without asking to be yours. Not asking a girl to be your girlfriend is shouting “friends with benefits”. It would be like going to Mcdeez, wanting to eat a Big Mac but not ordering and expecting the staff to make the Big Mac for you, no. Be clear. Leave no room for confusion because that’s where the enemy creeps in.

[@skzbear3690]

I fully agree with this

[@taliw7736]

I do think it should be clear to be boyfriend and girl friend / commited and then to express wanting that person for life / in marriage when the time is right. Being intentional and saying Im dating to marry is good to explain too. I can understand both POVs as long as you are clear on what the relationship is. I think what Melody said about it being a special romantic moment is important to have. Thanks for sharing this answer in the podcast.

[@nardosx]

Y'all dominican side came through on this onee! 🤣 Okay - BIG paragraph loading: I hear Melody and Ymanol. Melody is expressing the importance of spoken invitation to a relationship whereas E is expressing the action expression in inviting a relationship! However, I do think that his hesitance to express the verbal proposal of being a gf/bf could stem to a deeper issue, buttt the fact that he said he would verbally express if need be is a good thing! Melody is simply expressing what was probably her experience where Rudy had verbally expressed his desire to pursue a relationship which created that comfort in her and makes the relationship more verifed as per say. All in all no one is wrong because they each lean to different methods BUT it's important that your partner knows this from the get go. Melody and Rudy get each other and I hope Ymanol and his future partner are on the same wavelength too!

[@dasia_keg]

First of all I LOVED THIS EPISODE & love this podcast! But Ymanol 😂, I agree with Melody, a woman definitely wants you to ask for y’all to be boyfriend & girlfriend. Stating that you’re in the relationship with the goal of being married is one thing, but its the little things that matter for a woman especially to be called GF before marriage. But All love here!!😄🫶🏾👋🏾

[@sweettooth1016]

Big factzz

[@taliw7736]

True

[@sveltelee5545]

I agree with both of you on the dating/courting aspect , but making your intentions with that person clear and known is probably the most important part. Plus it’s different for every girl!

[@digitalcreator8033]

yall debating is the funniest thing ever 😂 y’all are so real ❤love y’all ❤❤❤

[@Michael__Coleman]

As a 22 year old. I greatly appreciate the wisdom and knowledge both of you give out. This channel is truly a Blessing to me

[@adiaratousoumare1002]

I definitely see what realthase4 meant when he mentioned wanting marriage to be the driving force of his relationship hahaha you don't have to go by "boyfriend/girlfriend" labels when you know the end goal is marriage but that also doesn't take away the romantic side of things! I don't think you're tripping dude. But thanks Melody for bringing up the romantic aspect of it cause I agree with that as well lol! Love your chats and praying for you

[@jocelynwhitephotos]

YAAAAYY!! The prayers worked! I'm sorry you guys have been experiencing so many technical difficulties, but God is good!!

[@hanajahslens]

what if the blessing is the valley!! this is too good, God is so great

[@Taylormadeblessings]

Your siblings energy 😭😂is real & hilarious… your sister wisdom sum it up on the topic of asking someone to be your future mate… I believe the moment you realize you drawn to this person don’t mention marriage unless she is open to the conversation.. because someone can deceive you for all the wrong reasons and waste your time… you not all the way bugging but low key… knowing who your mate is … is different if you already in your head making that person a candidate as a wife… seek counsel from leaders, people who have healthy godly relationships and pray so you be certain your decisions is in god’s timing… and the meantime calling her your girlfriend after 3 months is a safe place to test your & her comparability, to see it she will reveal her readiness to be a committed mate for long term… most people say just like natural seasons(people can change for the better or worse), pay attention to your needs and purpose to see if that person is also aligned, and has the fruit of the spirit to navigate the seasons of life with you 🙏🏾

[@Damnayo]

The future wife commenting here✋🏾🤣 I think what Ymanol is trying to explain towards the end is “courting” vs “dating”. Courting is pretty much the biblical version of “dating”. Commitment without the other worldly aspects of dating in layman’s term. Courting does not exclude the romantic portion of it, it just a different title because “dating” had a worldly connotation to it and it’s widely used in negative ways as well. But look it up on your own :)

[@rare_official_1]

Yall are literally my favorite youtubers right now 😅. The bickering back and forth is giving me life. 😂❤

[@AnaniCabrerachannel]

I think what I’m hearing from Melody is to be intentional with your actions and words and being sure to establish that commitment to the relationship, however me personally I see E’s point cuz TO ME if a guy JUST says he wants to be bf/gf he might not be that committed cuz some people would rather be w someone than be alone. But if a guy is telling me “I see you as my wife” you’re looking at a future together you see this relationship growing. Personally I think just be clear with your intentions and put in that effort

[@morganrobertson5115]

E you are def buggin 😂 Most women might not voice it (the outspoken ones like me will lol) but they do want to be asked out for sure! Especially if they value romance. While titles aren’t biblical or mandatory, it’s still a very sweet and thoughtful gesture that women do appreciate and that’s another great way for you to make her feel special on top of the things you’ll already be doing 🥰

[@iamzothom]

Several weeks without y'all is INSANEEE! Love y'all though, and I'll be praying for a smooth transition, behind the scenes, from Season 1 to Season 2!

[@valeriaberas1254]

I’m sayinggg

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

Best podcast ever! 😭🙏🏼💕 God bless you guysss.

[@naib9968]

In response to the conversation at 22:54 about the blessing being in the valley. I’ve learned that just because I may perceive a season in my life as “bad” or “difficult” that doesnt mean that it is so. I think sometimes what we perceive as bad/difficult is God’s way of moving in our life for our good and his Glory, moving us from Faith to Faith and Glory to Glory. He’s so intentional

[@amb4368]

Thank yall for being real and genuine! I don't have that type of (heavenly) bond with my siblings, and we're not close at all. I pray i can have that with my siblings one day 🙏

[@assychrissy443]

The way i waited all night for this

[@annette_echiku]

Regarding the relationship question at the end (lol) I think both of you guys are making valid points but thinking from your significant other’s point of view, ultimately, it’s about giving clarity in your relationship and next steps forward vs this sounds good to me so it should make sense to you. You don’t wanna leave room for confusion as you grow in the Lord w this person (1 Cor 14:33). All this to say, I agree w Melody lmbo

[@MsUniqueez]

Yes ma’am!! That’s exactly what it is, it’s about clarity and no confusion. I do see what Emanol is saying about him speaking his intentions and through his “boyfriend” actions. But the formal ask of being officially together is a way of solidifying clarity. The title “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” may seem worldly and pointless but it depends on what purpose you give it. At the end of the day, it also depends on the value you give the title vs the value of speaking intention, that’s what they were arguing. Melody views it as the title holding a symbolic meaning of the intention for the direction of marriage, so it by no means does it have to be attached with leeway to fall into ungodly things, like Emanol viewed it. It’s definitely a tricky perspective. But yeah, I also believe setting intention in your relationship by giving each other that commitment with a title, doesn’t fall into sin nor does it need to be tied to it.

[@hneysmith-ni0ill570]

Greatly appreciate the knowledge you both share on this journey with Christ. Its nice to have a podcast that is both funny and relatable while still very impactful. Also, lol, these comments show it really depends on the person 😂, but both points are valid (its all about perspective) Last part had me cracking up. I love you guys, god bless you and I can't wait for season 2 😙✌️✨

[@taliw7736]

First time listening ! Im interested in hearing your other episodes. Very funny sibling bonds and thanks for expressing how hard you work and the detail for BTS ( behind the scenes)

[@ketsia7386]

13:32 idk why imagining a tiny little Ymanol cracks me uppp 😭😭

[@kansiimeadrine2170]

"we grew up in a big family of 4" got me rethinking what big is😂😂 coz my big family is 9. Ya'll are crazy fun though. And to E, we praise God for your obedience to Him. Obedience is God's love language and is emphasized enough times in the bible.

[@JourneyThroughAnimation]

The sibling tiff at the end reminded me sooo much of me and my brother lol good video guys and great questions and insightful edifying answers! Love you guys and pray you get much rest before season 2!

[@Msparker101]

I literally understand both sides of the dating perspectives… but genuinely how would he introduced the girl to his family? Would he say that’s his girlfriend or his friend that he will marry one day?

[@Finding_Euphoria]

Caught up all the episodes just in time for the season finale🎉🎉 Thank you melody for dragging the heavenly bond we will need it while waiting for season two.Thank you guys for making this podcast all about God but also being so relatable.The Bible said many are called and few are chosen.Thank you for being the chosen ones.I love you both,may God continue to bless yall and keep y'all this funny and goofy❤

[@kimgarcia111]

Amen, that was a word! 22:23

[@Bb-fq6yk]

I get where both sides are coming from, but I tend to align more with Imanol's viewpoint due to my upbringing. As Christians, we believe that when you're dating someone, the end goal is usually to get married. So, there's no need to use labels like "boyfriend" or "girlfriend." From my perspective, when you call someone your boyfriend or girlfriend, it can make you feel comfortable in a way that might slow down the path to marriage. But if both people in the relationship know that marriage is the goal, they're more likely to date with that in mind, which can help them avoid doing things that might not be right. Plus, the romantic gestures are still there without the labels, but, I've never been in a relationship so I may later change my mind on the matter😅 In a nutshell, I think putting labels on the relationship can sometimes make us less in a hurry (a good one) to get married, and we all know it can be tough to resist certain temptations, so it's better to keep the focus on marriage.

[@D.O.T.M.H]

I just noticed something . When you guys do the “I love you Jesus thingy .” You guys are always IN SYNC😊 It’s cute btw Love y’all 🤍

[@destinyj12]

12:53 NAHH the back punching is CRAZYYY😂😂😂 nah but love y’all fr thank you for answering my question and making me crack up 🤣

[@janeagardner7322]

This was so good😂🙌🏾 I agree with you both. I understand what Melody is saying because as women we desire security. If there isn’t a title, or at least a conversation had about your intentions, it can leave space for questions. Basically stating the title usually brings affirmation. However, I understand what Ymanol is saying as well. In a lot of cases the bf/gf title leaves people to feel too comfortable. Kind of like when a man proposes to his girlfriend, but they don’t get married until 10 years later. When the bf/gf title becomes such a huge deal it can turn into a “milestone” leading bfs to act like husbands and gfs to act like wives. The whole idea of being “entitled” to a person that isn’t actually “yours” until marriage. Also considering bf/gf and fiancé/fiancée isn’t biblical, so really it could be considered a “perversion” of marriage, if it isn’t in purity (which is what these titles usually promote). All in all, I think it just depends on preference. As long as there is open communication between the two, and they can come to a verbal mutual agreement, the “bf/gf” title is optional.

[@FaithnChrist]

This episode was fire! I’m glad Ymanol finally mentioned where the verses come from 😂. Also, I get what he’s trying to say but Melody’s right, you still have to ask the girl out. It’s the unspoken rule. 😅

[@Vic_Johnson]

😂 I loved the sibling banter lol 😂 Emano is right through. I understand his point he’s not going to play the Bf/Gf game. He’s not dating to date marriage is the goal so why would he give BF energy to a women he doesn’t plan to marry. I respect that because he’s not going to waste the girls time. ❤

[@MeredithSims-jy7wh]

Love the podcast and the sibling wisdom! To answer the question if women should be asked by a man they are intentionally dating to be his girlfriend I think it is important to be asked to be the girlfriend. Ymanol is very public about his intentions and his walk with Christ so he could date a woman and she would go into the relationship with assurance that he’s only dating her and that he’s dating for marriage but as women of this non-traditional generation it is very important to not assume and get that confirmation.

[@itsyogirl_doni2438]

Melody not understanding Eymanol was pissing me off, because I totally get him. y'all are so cute you remind me of me and my brother. May God continue to be with y'all

[@poetrylabggast8546]

I love you guys!!! the debate was amazing; I also agree with Melody. But probably Ymanol doesn't like the idea of "girlfriend". But actually, saying it or making it official to her does mean something😁. Right Ymanol?!😂😂 you gotta say it!!!

[@rosalortega3581]

Ymanol please listen to your sisterrrr 🤣 we understand where you’re coming from. Yes, telling a girl you want to make her your wife is fine, but many guys in the world say that and end up leaving… Your built different, asking the girl to be a girlfriend solidifies the intentionally you guys have and doesn’t leave room for guessing what you guys are. It’s the pre-commitment to lead to marriage. Porfavor eschucha muchacho! We trying to lead you to the right direction with love 😂❤️

[@alanaaar]

Yikessss the last 10 minutes are intensely hilarious, (like a tennis match my head was bobbing back and forth) you two need to set an actual timer on your phones cause nobody was giving each other the full minute to talk 😭 I get what he is saying about laying down the foundation to the woman you want to be your future wife and letting her know upfront like "I want to marry you" because it eliminates confusion, the two of you can buckle down and get serious about your future together in marriage. I also get what Melody was saying because saying you want to "marry her" is not the same as saying, "you're my girlfriend". But on the other hand, I would personally just like if I guy said his commitment to marriage AND also asked me to be his girlfriend for that time in between before becoming his fianceè with a ring. Even though I know Ymanol will genuinely mean it when he tells his girl he wants to marry her, some girls would like to hear something that makes it official like the title, "girlfriend" even thoughhh we don't see it in the Bible lol --we don't see the word cellphone either, but we use them 👀 I don't think GOD codemns us for using these titles. It just makes it so that both are on the same page.

[@itsallaboutjesus.4906]

[@caylaburnett5057]

I got a lot to say lol. for starters, E wit the talking Uggs is crazy. plz glue them or something 😂. Next Melody is right, you gotta ask a girl to be your gf before you jump to wifey status. I would think bro was tripping if 3 month in he talking bout he tryna spend the rest of his life with me idk tho😂. But I literally can't wait for season 2 man, y'all vids are just so easy to watch and I can't wait to see the places God wants to take y'all. much love ❤

[@shenece557]

Loved this! lol Personally, I think the same time and effort you put into telling and explaining to her that you want to marry her, you could be more intentional and establish your relationship. Not everyone thinks the same so it would be helpful to make it clear. :)

[@revealtalksministry2652]

I agree with both standpoints on the marriage topic because for me I set the tone up on the beginning I'm dating to marry nothing less! But I would love the romantic side of it of Courting and my future husband ask me to be his gf/ telling me YESS you going to be wife! Set the TONE & STANDARD IN THE BEGINNING BUT WITH THE ROMANTIC SIDE!

[@lilycruz2853]

Love the aesthetic decor ❤️ sooo excited for Season 2!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@Kat_Apiata]

I love watching the fire you both have ❤ hello from NZ 🌈

[@Wrldofbeautifulmusic]

I agree with Melody, if you’re going to do everything couples do anyway make it official so there is no confusion and realistic boundaries are set. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the word “boyfriend/girlfriend” but it could be “hey I want to exclusively court you with no other ppl involved to see if you can be a potential wife of mine.” Because just telling a woman “you are going to be my wife” “I want you to be my wife” is cool but in the mean time what does that actually look like before we get there 👀…❤😂 hope this makes sense lol…. I enjoyed this last episode. May God bless season 2 and you both. These have been some amazing episodes!❤🎉

[@vmpage01]

OH WOWW u guys listen to Candace Owens too! She's awesome😀 In response to the bringing lukewarm friends to Christ...we just need to remember that we are not the Holy Spirit😅we need to do our job and plant the seed. We can't do the Spirit's job as well. It's his job to convict not ours. ... I actually get what Ymanol is saying about the whole asking out thing lol. If you guys are friends, and believe that it is in God's plan for you to be more to each other... i don't really see the necessity of the "asking out"...especially as the end goal is not to be "boyfriend and girlfriend" but husband and wife. In a courtship the asking out part isn't really a thing because you guys are already praying, involving spiritual mentors, etc. and know where the relationship is headed, so I feel like that would be a bit weird to be "asked out" when we're basically past that lol. I feel like that's for more shallow relationships, or rather the worldy kind of dating🤔 And HEY MELODY. Chick-fil-a is untouchable.

As always loved the episode, I moved from it is just a Q&A to taking notes in my head, just to add yeeeees for me if the guy doesn't ask me out I will just assume he is not sure what he wants, like stringing me along, and I will just feel the need to get him out of my future husband's way.

If l’m dating to marry someone and we’re truly locked in… the “BF/ GF” label is minuscule compared to being a wife. I agree with him 😭

[@Wheelztotheworld]

New around hear live this ep

[@sabrinasucces8139]

😂 As far as the dating goes… I mostly agree with Ymanol but Melody makes valid points. A few months ago, I was reading the Bible and noticed none of the couples had boyfriend/girlfriend aka a courting period… Then right after I noticed that, a few videos popped up on YT on how it’s not Biblical. BUT because of this I said I need you to tell that man in a dream or something that I’m his wife cause 😂 all we know is boyfriend/girlfriend. How do you go about it?… idk I’m still figuring it out myself. Again, I mostly agree with Ymanol cause Jesus has been telling me that BF/GF is not Biblical. But Melody has makes great points.

[@mamitaasworld7905]

I definitely agree with him. Boyfriend & girlfriend is not biblical. As a woman we should know that a man is wantin to marry us because he will show by his actions. If ur boyfriend and girlfriend yall just friends untill yall get married!! Buhh my first time watching yall lol i luv it here

[@adoniahgabrielle]

AMEN to the guys being girl crazy. Even though my friends are Christian, and talk about wanting a trustworthy girlfriend/wife, they don't understand when i tell them that THEY GET WHAT THEY GIVE. If you're always playing around, you're always going to get girls that want to play around, and serious godly girls would not look your way. It's super annoying and not even something followers of Christ should be doing😔

[@chesspeaceful]

Lol 😂 I agree with Ymanol. I don’t believe in bf/gf before marriage.

[@joanapadre]

I loved this episode !!! 😂😂❤

[@loulylove]

E I understand where you're coming from. If I tell her I want her to be my wife, then she should already know where we stand; However, as a female, women definitely love affirmation when it comes to being in a relationship. Having to guess where you stand with someone based off of the treatment you're getting is like ehhh what are we doing. Telling her you would like for her to be your wife in the future is something you say when you're proposing, so in the meantime, what are we right now in this moment, you know?

[@yavidoo3929]
