how I'm preparing for marriage as a Christian!! vlogmas day 3

[@MrTazmanx]

Hearing your advice on having a couples counselor as being good yes, but also having your own counselor as an individual is really eye opening for me! Even as a guy it’s really refreshing to hear that being in therapy is not only good, but also needed, because there’s things that maybe your partner can’t help you with, and a counselor is the way to go, so thank you for that! Praying for you and Isaac and your engagement and marriage!

[@JesusLightsYourPath]

So true

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you so much! I love hearing your perspective as well on this! I appreciate all your kind words!!

[@eviii99_]

I love hearing about this! I also got married recently (two weeks ago) and these tips are absolutely important to any of us. Love how you explained about us being humans, so things sometimes happen and it's important to know how to communicate while being married/engaged/in a relationship. Praying for you and your marriage! ❤

[@carolynelarrubia2544]

Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable, Taylor! I got married this April, and while these past few months have been amazing, I’m also learning that marriage takes hard work! We have to remind ourselves every day that we married a sinner, and that we need God’s grace and presence in our relationship. I’m sure you two will handle this well, and God will guide you through this process, it’s going to be incredible! Enjoy this season of engagement, I’m praying for you!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

YES! So well said. We are marrying broken people and grace needs to be central! I love hearing YOUR words of wisdom! Congratulations on your marriage, you will be reaching 1 year soon💗🥰Thank you for your sweet words as well!

[@QuesaDia05]

Love the tip about taking responsibility of yourself apart from your partner. It's an understatement to say it's important! It's healthy.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

right??! thank you!

[@janiedavila8370]

Been married almost 25 years let me tell you. I kinda got tired in the Middle but I needed revival in my marriage while there stages of honey moon then I know you then it's a little blah then it's wow how did we get this far , then the it's we need To remember our sweet times but most importantly seeking Jesus all the way.But give each other time with Jesus alone. keeping quiet when there's an argument is better than saying something you might regret oh always pray for each other.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you for your words of wisdom and your story! Praying needs to be a top priority for us!

[@oilinmylamp]

You are so beautiful, Taylor. I would love to hear about your health journey sometime. I know vlogmas isn’t the place. I hope you will share, someday, about the emotional and mental side of making changes for our health. How to be disciplined and overcome to achieve our goals. ❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

I really appreciate this comment! Thank you! I would be totally down to share about this sometime!!

[@carolaspinall1965]

You are glowing! Would love to know more about your intuitive eating and what that looks like for you, meal to meal, day to day. I've been married for 40 years next August. I agree it takes hard work and prayer. A marriage, like any relationship takes maintainence.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

thank you so much Carol! I would love to talk about it!! hehe!

[@leahgriffiths1694]

Yeah, this is true. It is hard. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm getting married in March!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Congratulations!!! I love that you are able to be totally honest about it though, its hard AND thats okay!

[@oilinmylamp]

Finances are huge area in marriage. Just a suggestion: both should always know what’s going on with finances at all times, of course, no secrets. ❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

excellent excellent tip!!! Full transparency is something I really strive for!

[@wietskevaatstra9847]

Always refreshing to listen to you Taylor 💖Love your transparency and wisdom. So looking forward to your wedding video!Please pray for the challenges of dealing with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Had it for a few years. Using a walker now. So far they say am not a candidate for a shunt. Am 62 and been on my own since 30. Have two children and 5 grandchildren so very blessed. See them a few times a year. Have a Christian Carer as well. God is ever faithful ❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

you are so sweet, and I can just tell that your perspective is built on the foundation of thankfulness and hope. Praying right now for you!

[@LorenaLeonte]

thank you so much for this video ❤ i really needed it since my fiance and i are getting married in march, and i have been struggling to think of ways to prepare ourselves better 🫂 God bless you guys and i pray to God for success and love in our future marriages ❤️

[@coffeeandbibletime]

You are so welcome! I am right there with you🥰 Praying for you Lorena!

[@QuesaDia05]

I've always appreciated your realness, Taylor. It helps more than you think! That may be a gift in itself! God bless you!,❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

praise God! This is my goal!!!

[@QuesaDia05]

I love the way you explained it in the beginning of how a relationship works. I'm single, but experiencing speaking to someone for a few months revealed how hard it really is. Nevertheless, I still desire to find that guy that I will choose and who will choose me. I get not having it all together, but God is giving you a grace right now, Taylor! I'm so happy you've met someone like Isaac! I pray God will continue to give you both the grace you need in the engagement season and as you go into the marriage season! ❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

🥹thank you so much! This is absolutely so raw and true. Starting to get to know someone for all that they are is really a lot. It takes time to find the person that you are ready to choose to love day in and day out. I love that you are still desiring to find that one day! God will teach you a lot through each season you are in! Thank you for your kind words as well!

[@katherinehedrick9108]

Taylor, you're beautiful inside & out. I love your lovely and real videos. ❤

[@alejandraagurto5352]

Thank you for sharing, I’m dating, this video truly gave me clearly. You were honest and I appreciate that! God Bless you and your future marriage! 🙏🏻💗

I love your intro 🎄☃️

[@coffeeandbibletime]

heheh! yay!!

[@Knittingsteve]

A very great video, Thanks for sharing. as a single man I know little about marriage :)

[@coffeeandbibletime]

I am so glad you enjoyed this! I love that we are both learning haha!

[@QuesaDia05]

All of these were good ✨️

[@user-tz3nd6xb7o]

Praying for you and Issac! Thank you for being honest about how hard relationships can be. But we have the confidence in Christ Jesus to redeem every mistake if we repent and trust in His Holy sacrifice ❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

yes. This is so beautifully said. That is why I find it so special to be able to experience God's redeeming love in a whole new light within a relationship! God redeems our mistakes and clothes us in his love!

[@dereklee2590]

Gotta prepare

[@ginacasu]

Just a warning in case you were not aware. Lilies are extremely poisonous to cats, even the pollen and the water in the vase. And thank you so much for the daily vlogs❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Oh no! That is so important to know!! Thank you for sharing. 🥰

[@luluvi8998]

So happy for you thank you for sharing your thoughts. BTW ! Watch out for the lilies ! They’re so beautiful but bad for the cats 🥺

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thanks for the tip!😆 so appreciated!!🥰

[@QuesaDia05]

Also, off topic. You're so beautiful, Taylor! 🥺💗

[@coffeeandbibletime]

thank you so much!! I love how active you have been in the comments for this video hehe🥰

[@TeeAhhhna]

I’m dating❤ hopefully and praying it leads to marriage 💍

[@travinnesummers7767]

Hello Tay please resend the December 2024 prayer calender! Thank you ❤

[@esterfleurke9309]

Amen!

[@feelinit213]

Would you say it's important to have a christian counselor? Or a non believr is fine too?

[@coffeeandbibletime]

That is a good question! I would prefer getting a counselor that shares similar values, but at the end of the day a good counselor should not impose their beliefs on you one way or another! I hope that helps hehe. If you have a choice I would maybe opt for one!

[@truesdelly]

I’m really struggling in my singleness. It’s a daily struggle, and need for surrender to the Lord. I have such a deep desire and longing for marriage and motherhood, but nothing is happening on that front. It’s hard to trust the Lord, but I know that his plans are better than mine ever could be. it’s also been a struggle to stay pure in this time. Since nothing is happening in reality, it seems that my mind is constantly running wild with fantasies and is leading me to sexual immorality. I know that I’m not honoring the Lord in that way. Prayers are greatly appreciated! And any advice that you may have is also welcomed.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

This makes so much sense to me🥺. So much love for you my friend, and I hope you know in every way you are NOT alone! I love how you are speaking out about this and being honest, as so many of us are afraid to share what is really going on in our lives. I think your desire for a relationship is so honorable. Keep seeking God as your greatest treasure and delight, as this is so honorable to do when you're single or dating. If the enemy is telling you to feel ashamed about your sexual sin temptations, remind yourself that God has redeemed you and that is not WHO you are. Struggling with sexual sin temptation as a single is REAL. I think that the book by Kirby Kelly could be really helpful for this season of your life with the sin cycles in particular: amzn.to/3OZwklC

My husband passed away in 2020. We were married23 years and together 24 years. I knew him very well so I was fortunate. We had a good life. He ws in the Army and we got to travel a lot. We didn't have children and I regret that now. I worked with children for25 years so I guess they were my children by proxy. I still can't see what I'm typing. Safari is too much trouble. I just want tyou to know that I'm watching!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Hi Kathleen! Thank you for sharing part of your story, I feel like I am really getting to know you better just through the comments each video. I am sorry for your loss, I know that 2020 was 4 years ago, but it still probably feels like yesterday in some ways.💗

[@kathleengill1273]

@@coffeeandbibletime Yes it does and YT seems to have fixed itself thank the Lord!

[@michellesunshinestar]

I like CereaVe but it costs so much.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

I seriously hate how much skincare costs! Every time I use it I am imagining how much the one squirt of lotion costs😂

[@michellesunshinestar]

@@coffeeandbibletime LOL, true. I got Clean & Clear.

[@AnellaSharpes-px3xq]

You can get book that teach you about married and there are chapters in Bible teach about married. and always pray together read. Matthew 5:32 and Romans 7 don't worry if you have questions and not sure go to God in prayer the both of you can do that.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

thank you for these chapters to read together! That is so thoughtful of you!

[@AnellaSharpes-px3xq]

You are so beautiful

[@coffeeandbibletime]

awwwww heheh thank you!!!!
