[@WomanWithHISPlan-un4rp]

Kev explained it perfectly! There is a REASON that the Bible says, He that finds a wife finds a GOOD thing AND obtains FAVOR from the Lord! To all of the men asking what do women bring to the table, we bring the FAVOR that he explained that he gets from having his wife in his life!!!!!!❤️

[@kristinesmith1665]

Dang, say that AGAIN so we can put foolish podcasts on that topic to rest. Can't believe it is being questioned, but if you marry for the look and not the substance - then there needs to more on choosing a mate wisely.

[@WomanWithHISPlan-un4rp]

@@kristinesmith1665 EXACTLY! The favor that God bestows on the man for having a good wife in his life is truly unmeasurable! Men like Kev who experience it on a daily bases understands it. I don’t care how high a man goes, there are certain levels that he will NEVER touch if he doesn’t have that good wife by his side because of the favor that comes with her. Ive heard several different men, even Charlemagne telling other men that if they want to go to the next level, get a good woman! I mean, it had Kevin running down the street in his drawls for his!!!! 🤣🤣

Melissa and Kevin story is definitely how I see my ex-husband and I. However, I told him after the fact if he just came after me I would have stayed. After he started going through stuff with other women he dated he told me he wish he would have fought for me and the kids. I admit, like Laterras, I didn’t have integrity so I cheated because I was searching what I wanted him to give which was the biggest bad choice of my life. I told my ex-husband and he forgave me. Pride on both of our parts contributed to where we are. I beg of people put your pride aside and fight for your marriage. You have to water the grass no matter where you go❤🙏🏽

1. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." I am sooooooo glad Kevin recognizes Melissa as his favor. Because of her, God truly blessed him/them.......... 2.FURTHERMORE, I LAUGHED SO HARD WHILE WATCHING THIS PODCAST. LAUGHTER TRULY IS GOOD MEDICINE. 3. Melissa had me in tears when she said, "On your wedding day, when you say your vows, you hope them to be true; but after decades of marriage, when you say your vows, (10/20/30/40/50 years), you KNOW them to be true. (T-E-A-R-S)

I’m glad you know cause I shole’ did leave you…. I didn’t think him or his wife were good for this platform. I’m back now… let’s see for how long 5:26 **UPDATE** This episode made me teary eyed. This is what we need to hear - the real about growth, relationships, and marriage. Thanks Kev and Liss. And thanks Laterras… I resubscribed♥️

I'm ALREADY excited about todays episode (just from the intro!!!!) It is a joy watching the transparency of Kevin and Melissa. She is So very correct the vows hit totally different after 20 years!!! 25 years ago We made a vow "through sickness and in health" not knowing sickness meant no more ambulating...we made a vow "for rich or poor" not knowing that a bankruptcy & foreclosure was down the road. Yessss! Totally different after a few seasons together.❤ #LearnGrow

When I tell you I YELLED when Kevin said “so why did you cheat on her then?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

OMG!!! This interview set me free when Melissa was having a moment and Kevin made her melt with his support. Melissa you were so on point when you said that sometimes we don't know why we are upset. Menopause have us all over place. Kevin great response to your wife's need in that moment. Thank ya'll so much for speaking on real life stuff.💜💜🥰
