The interviewee is very respectful. Props to him too!😊

[@dillonclarke5460]

Respectfully, Jonathan is a chip off the old block. Jonathan and Kanika are continuing the Evan’s legacy of Godly wisdom in marriage and relationships. May God continue to bless and keep you both and your entire Evans family. 🙏🏽

Young people need to hear this because dating and getting marriage is a process that has to be done the right way.

Pride is not only thinking too highly or yourself, but also thinking too low of yourself 🔥🔥🔥

This was sooo good! As a recent newlywed it gets challenging to find a source to help enhance & strengthen your relationship.

[@modupeoladeinde8995]

Until you're ready to serve, don't get married! Very true!

Sage wise wisdom. Good job young man👑

[@briannabridges518]

This was such a blessing to watch. I just wish they would unpack what it means to serve one another… so many take the term literally and attempt to do everything for their spouse. Serving one another also means learning your spouse and being attentive enough to tap into what they need on a spiritual, emotional, mental level and serve that need as well... this is by far more important than making sure their physical needs are met

[@Jeaniyah24k]

What a powerful insight Sis. Married for 25 years and yet I don't receive love mentally, spiritually or emotionally. He is a great provider but it stops there....longing for companionship and to be seen🙏🏽

[@MarryOnChain]

Marriage is a beautiful union between two individuals who commit to love, support, and cherish each other through life's ups and downs. A wedding ceremony symbolizes this commitment, bringing together family and friends to celebrate the love shared between the couple as they embark on a new journey together.

[@ericadrayton7908]

Johnathan and Kanika!!! Yes indeed! Continue to let The LORD use you. You both dropped so many great nuggets! ❤🙏🏾

[@keahburton8740]

I like that he said that about being served or serving! I’m not sure if I do serve my husband BUT I will ask what I can do for him more often and learn to serve him. Man do they have a marriage class? 😂

Great words from you guys,marriage is a beautiful thing but you have to put God in it in order for it to work,and be humble and a great listener because sometimes you think you’re listening, but you’re not listening to your mate.

[@BH4H]

This was very helpful! Thank You for sharing your wisdom and experiences.❤ I found it interesting that two of the 3 questions were about how to navigate very challenging relationships that they felt somewhat obligated to and Pastor Jonathan I really appreciate your responses and agree. As someone who also feels called to serve in a relationship (not marriage but an Elderly Parent/Child relationship) that is difficult and feels abusive many times, it was refreshing to hear that I'm not alone in trying to walk upright in this journey. It seems like it would be helpful for the Church (Big C) to address the realities and practical applications of how to navigate extreme relational challenges when it seems as if mental health issues are on a steady rise in our society.

[@barbarasmith1110]

WOW good instructions

A fantastic interview!!! Thank you both

[@FarTooPrecious]

Such insight about American culture

[@angelagrey9144]

God bless you both abundantly. Your sincerity and faith provided a platform for transparency and truth . You both sre going to change young lives for the better. I was married for 30 years and divorced now for three. My husband left at the height of the pandemic. He was a wonderful and amazing husband and is an excellent father. Hr fell out of fellowship with God and fell out if love with me. Christ has filled my heart with so much forgiveness towards him. These past three years has been a season for me to grow closer to Christ and deeper in His word. Tony Evans series in marriage have been an instrumental learning tool. and now this interview with Pastor jonathan and his beautiful wife is another resource for me in my growth and preparation for marriage again someday. Thankyou and I will share this interview with as many as I can God has bern so gracious to our family and hearing this level of encouragement fills me with even more hope for whet is to come. Glory yo the Most High Savior

[@joannawofford]

[@donnalewis9951]

This is so good. One thing though, there is a scripture that tells us to submit to one another. That Waze illustration is so good.

This was such a blessing and confirmation to my soul and I pray that my spouse will receive this when I send it to her because Lord knows this was all truth❤❤

Hi Jonathan @40:56-41:00 you said "there's no where in the bible the man is told to submit to the wife" I don't think that's true Eph 5:21-33 The bible clearly says submit yourselves one to another. Yes there's structure but both are to submit to each other.

[@nickies5325]

I am just now seeing thjs video and i am a member. Respectfully, I love this church but im concerned that you stated that both of you are apart of the D9. I have been watching alot of videos of denouncing these organization and that its idolatry. I have also met people within the church who denounced due to what they have learned about them. Pastor Evans and Kanika, you are beautiful people and i can not help but be concerned about your association and union with these organizations. I have learned by being attach to these org, you have cursed your bloodline. While you did a wonderful explaination of how to keep a Godly marriage, what do you say about the convenant that you made with these organizations? Have you heard of these denoucing and that these gods that are attached to them?

[@NormasBath]

That's his wife? Wow! Thought she was one of his kids.

[@TheEntrepreneurWifeAndMom]

Respectfully will disagree with you Jonathan on “nowhere in the Bible does it say a man should submit to a woman “. Because it does . In Ephesians 5:21… it says “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ”. As much as the Bible calls women to submit , which I am 100% for, submission isn’t only for wives to submit to husbands, but husbands are to submit to their wives too . I love you both and a huge fun of the Evan’s legacy but I disagreed on this .

[@FarTooPrecious]

You disagreed then agreed...being pedantic is not good for communication my friend.

[@Sueanne7811]

I'm so sorry l have fallen out with the evans family they are such a lier especially Jonathan Evans and Tony Evans stop playing with god

[@chenellechavez]

Respectfully, both of y’all have to renounce and repent for that sorority stuff because that is not a covenant from God. That’s is demonic
