What we need to stop idolizing is Hollywood marriages, women saying "cardi b and offset are goals" or all these other messy couples......no. Get a man who respects you, who is faithful, who is honest. Stop idolizing all this struggle love👀 js🤷🏻♀️

Divorce is NOT allowed by GOD for just any reason, neither is remarriage. STOP teaching LIES. Your government has DECEIVED you. Premarital sex is also sinful. So STOP having sex with any person except your spouse. That is being a WHORE (according to the blessed WORD of GOD). AMEN.

@@MimiHawk First of all, I'm promoting GOD'S TRUTH, not myself. And according to the scriptures, I'm right on track (teaching truth without compromise), by the grace of God and to His glory. Second of all, no matter if divorce is an option or not for your marriage (as long as you're more happy than sad, according to you), you're still promoting sin. Being more sad than happy is not reason enough to get a divorce. In fact, many women find themselves unhappy because of their own deceptions. Much love in Christ Jesus.

Yes, it's so hilarious. You stand there and make a promise to that person and GOD that you are going to stay with them through the bad times and good times, through poor, sickness..and so on and them bam, 2 years later it's a divorced because the guy lost a job or you're no longer sexual attracted to him. But God understands right, I mean its a sin when I do it because Gods knows Im a good person. So even though I promised GOD all these things and in the bible it says multiple times that divorce is a sin. And divorce is the ONLY thing in the bible that GOD says he hates, I'm sure he doesn't really care...right?

ogenesis In response to your references to God and the Bible in relation to marriage, these days, non believers and other people who don’t follow God or the word of God are getting married, therefore, they don’t acknowledge the fact that marriage is of God, they completely disregard it and do whatever they feel like when they get married instead of letting the word of God guide them. Some Christians/believers are guilty of this too.

But why take the vows then? Thats what I dont get. The vows say they're promising to this person and GOD that you will be with them through the bad times, poor times, sick times. If it was easy then there would be no need to take the vows. Did you know that divorce is the only thing in the bible that God actually says he hates. Like literally in red? I think so many women nowadays are like, well if I'm not enjoying this then I'm sure god understands. Not everything is about how much you enjoy it. I mean, kids are going to be a hassle, tough, money strain but you shouldn't just abandon your kids if you're not having fun anymore.. I just dont think people are actually paying attention to the words and swears and vows they make to GOD. I think it's like a play to them, or just a nice little tradition. If you know that you're going to leave your wife or husband when things get to bad....why promise GOD that you wont? I just dont get it.

These are self inflicted problems though caused by poor choices people decide to make. 1 person may have taken those vows and meant every word but the other person took those vows without as pure of intentions or new they had vices that were not conducive to a happy marriage, does that mean the other person has to stay and suffer? HELL NO. Problems will arise in every marriage but these problems should be out of your control like health, or money not cheating, that's a selfish CHOICE that was made without taking the vows seriously.

Another Woman Blessing ⤵ www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071CZSDMT?ref_=dbs_s_def_awm_dirs_l_9&storeType=ebooks Just think of how different things would be if a man brought another woman home and said to his wife, "Love, this is my new wife," and his current wife simply said, "Blessings! How are you doing? Welcome to the family." It would eliminate the desire of some to sneak around. Let your man have as many wives as he desire. Just pray for him and love him. He don't need your permission, but if you don't throw a fit, it will help the situation. And no ladies, you cannot have another man nor a woman. Domestic violence in these cases would then be eliminated. That's exactly the scenario that you can expect that holy men of God throughout the Bible (including David, Jacob, Gideon, and so forth) had when they brought new wives home. Back in the 1800s, American Presidents passed laws forbidding a man from having more than one wife, just as they had once forbidden slaves from getting married. But that has not been God's rule throughout history. We have been brought up under man-made rules, and because man-made laws tend to shape the behavior of humans and they're thinking and reasoning, we have concluded that something was wrong which God never called wrong, just as many people today conclude that homosexuality is right because of laws that are made, when God never called homosexuality right: It is an "Abomination" His site. So we should not get man's laws confused with God's laws. We have to check man's laws against God's laws and make sure that we are not walking in deception. There are ways around man's laws, and you can learn about that in my book that's attached to this comment, so that you won't find yourself in prison for having more than one wife. The same government that took the right of men to marry more than one wife away, also gave men the right to marry other men and women the right to marry other women, and that is a wicked and sinful thing. Those are ungodly legislations. You can find places in the United States where prostitution is legal, where killing your baby is legal, where women can leave the country with a "good" man's child and put him on child support, while she plays the whore with other men. These are wicked and abominable laws that are designed to totally destroy families. They have nothing to do with God's Word. They have nothing to do with God's truth. We need to get back to God's Word because that's the only way the family unit will be blessed. Satan have deceived women into thinking that they have some type of ownership over a man, that they are equal to him, when the Bible calls him your head, and you are to obey him and submit to him. But the devil has lied to you and deceived you because you've gotten away from God's truth. It's time for you to turn to God's truth and away from the devil's lies which are weeded in into man's laws and have deceived your hearts. ---------- Do "What" if he has two wives??? Note: Some things were sin in the Old Testament which are not sin today, like eating pork (which I still don't like for health reasons). But other things which were sin in the Old Testament are still sin today, like hating others and murder. Always thoroughly check New Testament Scriptures with prayer and fasting to see what has changed and what has stayed the same. Moses' Instructions from GOD to the children of Israel: If a man is having gay sex: Death Penalty If a man is having sex with a married woman: Death Penalty for them both! If a person has sex with an animal: Death Penalty for the human and the animal! If a man has sex with a woman on her period: Serious Crime with punishment of separation from the people. Also, If a man had sex with a woman who was his wife and also with her mother they were to be burnt with fire (all of them). If a woman lost her virginity before marriage: Death penalty! (Unless the man who took her virginity married her right away, but she couldn't just go and marry another man). In the Old Testament scriptures, if a man committed an act of having sex with another man's wife or having sex with another man, they both were guilty of great sin and received the death penalty. However, if a man simply had two wives this was not considered a sin but he was to treat the children fairly of all (both) of his wives. Now, is homosexuality and sleeping with another man's wife still sin today? Yes and the Bible says so (Rom chp 1, 1st Cor chp 6). But has GOD suddenly made it a sin for a man to have more than one wife? No, and the Bible doesn't say so (Matt 25:1-4). Though it does say that a woman can only have one husband (Rom 7:5). Don't allow cultural beliefs and human traditions to confuse nor deceive you. Praise CHRIST JESUS! Stick to the WORD of GOD and you shall do well. AMEN. Special and Very Important Note: Every human being has broken GOD'S law in one way or another; that's called sin. Every human being has sinned. Therefore, every human being needs a Saviour. The only Saviour that GOD has given to humankind is "HIS Beloved SON JESUS CHRIST". JESUS CHRIST is the LORD from Heaven who became a human being and died for the sins of the world. HE (JESUS CHRIST) rose again on the third day, showed HIMSELF alive to many chosen witnesses, ascended into Heaven where HE'S now seated at HIS FATHER'S Right Hand. The blessed LORD JESUS shall soon return to judge the world with righteousness. Those who have trusted HIM for salvation and forgiveness of sins, shall live forever with HIM as long as they continue in HIS faith. Those who reject HIM shall die in their sins and spend all eternity in the Lake of Fire. But those who are saved from sins by the power of HIS Glorious and Blessed HOLY SPIRIT will live forever with the LORD in HIS glorious Kingdom in perfect peace. Praise CHRIST JESUS! AMEN.

I think the idea that staying in a marraige that is hard or difficult should be rethought. Many people think of that as settling or an easy option, but actually staying with a husband who hurt you by cheating, sticking through the bad times takes A WHOLE lot of strength and alot of times its easier to quit and get a divorce. Forgiveness and reconciliation is actually one of the most difficult things in life. So i actually commend people who take their vows seriously and with all their strength stay in the marriage. Thats why its so important to be discerning about who you are marrying and about whether you truly believe that you could stay in a marraige through sickness, through down days, weeks, months and maybe even years and love that person unconditionally, not necessarily because they deserve it but because you made a vow and no matter what you will choose to keep your integrity and keep that vow. Period. Thats what marraige and true Love is about. You are truly loving someone whrn its hard.

My grandparents were married over 40 years. My grandfather cheated multiple times and broke my grandmothers heart, but they stayed together. They had a very emotionally abusive relationship. I even remember during my early childhood how much they used to fight. A lot. Way more than what is considered normal. But they grew up in a time where people didn’t get divorced. People stayed together even if they hated each other’s guts. I’d rather be divorced than stay with someone just for the sake of being married. Even if I have kids with someone, if the marriage is bad I will leave. I wouldn’t want my kids to grow up thinking it’s okay to stay in a toxic and abusive marriage by watching their parents live in one.

But it's like they didn't consider some people are together for decades and their marriage is broken and their kids have more baggage or trauma than some kids who grew up with divorced parents.

I agree with both sides! However, not all marriages lasting 30, 40 or 50+ years have all had issues. It’s possible to have a long lasting relationship and not have cheated or been abused mentally or physically. So I’m surprised this conversation was three against one. So if a woman and man shared marriage for 50 years and truly have been in love and were true to their vows, you damn well better think that’s “goals” 👏🏻

Speaking from knowledge of someone's personal perspective, the conversations were had by both parties. The man started to borrow all his new wife's savings (She paid their 1st rent & bought their gold wedding bands as loans) , had her transfer multiple sums from her earnings to his various business accounts and asked for her ATM pin to carry out transactions. These loans seldom got paid, she became broke and bitter... to cap it all off there's no respect or appreciation for ALL HER sacrifice. She's currently pregnant and the oaf is using a head-in-the-sand approach to avoid paying for the baby things. Is that worth hanging around for or should she make a clean break with the 1 child she can still comfortably care for? Mind you she's communicated her frustrations severally but he just lies to save face🤷♀️

The bigger question is, do people want the 'marriage' or the 'wedding' ? Some people only want to get married because others are doing it, or they believe their partner can fix them, or are pressured into it, or because of some false illusion that marriage is all peachy. All that being said, many rush into it without fully knowing their partners or understanding the magnitude of what marriage is and what it entails. This certainly DOES NOT apply to everyone but I have seen it too often nowadays. So before we talk about getting married, we need to understand why we are getting married. Therefore I have to side with Loni on this one. Don't say I do unless you really do understand.

Think about it, we call women upgrades based solely on how they look. We call men a catch based on how well they can provide and their willingness to be a family man... A woman is still judged by her intangibles while men are judged by actual accomplishments. Most men will not raise the children, clean the home, and feed it... It's sad because the children are suffering. I went to a daycare for a tour and the care giver said that most of the children are potty trained ONLY while they're in their care... Why? Because both mom and dad are too busy working to care about those things. It's sad.

@Dr. Periwinkle Women working has always been a great thing. But people telling you “now you work but you still do most of the household work", ask yourself this? Why you think you do more of the household chores? Because of societal ? or because you allowed your man/husband to say this is how it goes. Does societal make women do more house work and men lazy. If you feel your getting the short end of the stick at home, then that's a issue you have to take up with your partner, sit them down and negotiate what you would like more help of. And a side note, nobody talks about the work is done outside of the house, which is traditional done by men. I don't hear people saying to men "now you work but you still do all the work outside of the house"

I’m with Tamera on this one. 💆🏾♀️ Honestly, the way I see it, who cares if you’ve been married for 30 years if you’ve been miserable for 29 of them? We usually only call divorces this, but in my eyes a miserable marriage is a failed one too. And I don’t think the point is that we don’t care about or value long marriages, I think the topic was more so that we shouldn’t idolize those marriages *just because* they’re long. Because that’s not really an indication of a healthy relationship. Someone says they’ve been married 30-40 years and it’s automatically assumed that that means it’s been a successful marriage and that’s simply not always true. It could just be a reflection of how much they were willing to put up with or how dependent the wife unfortunately was on her husband that she couldn’t leave.

There’s nothing more beautiful than a long lasting marriage between two people that still share a love and bond. But not all long marriages are picture perfect, they just stay because it’s easier.

Secondly I believe that marriage SHOULD last forever til death do us part HOWEVER if my marriage at any point got to the place where God forbid it became mentally and physically unhealthy for me to be in that situation then I would pack up and leave. Also it's not about abandoning your kids; no parent wants to abandon their child however we you allow your child to see you in a toxic situation and think that it's okay to live like that... no. I agree that not everything in live will be enjoyable but I would hope that my life with the partner I said "I do" to would make sure my life is as enjoyable as it could be. God did say He hates divorce but at the same time I for one do not believe that He wants to see His child suffering in a situation that you can get yourself out of. He gave us common sense for a reason. Lastly I 110% believe that no one should go into a marriage thinking that "hey if things don't work out I can get a divorce and start over", you should walk into a marriage with the full intent of staying with that person until you die, but at the end of the day SOME instances warrants for divorce and by all means I believe you should file.

Deal Breaker, cheating and having a baby with someone while married to me. I think that’s sick and toxic and the relationship would never be the same.

I Think its a beautiful thing to be married for so Long.. My grandparents have been married for 66 years now, and they are still as happy as can be😁 ❤

Long relationships are good as long as they’re healthy. Don’t stay in a relationship if you’re gonna keep getting cheated on, lied to, abused, etc. But then there’s also , “til death do us part” so in that case, don’t rush it

Sometimes its hard to tell if Loni always disagree with everyone because she's older and not AS open minded or if she justs likes the attention on herself.

My grandparents were together for 42 years. My grandpa did drugs, emotionally neglected his child and gave my grandma STDs. He went to jail for a period of time and was never the breadwinner. My grandma had 2 college degrees and took care of my grandpa through kidney disease and died before him. She spent her best years, from age 16-58, overall miserable and I feel like she never had the chance to live life to the fullest.

When we see 40 and 50 year marriages and say “goals” it’s implied we mean a healthy 40-50 years. Not years of abusive and disrespect. It’s perfectly acceptable to look up to long marriages. Why do people feel the need to find the negative in everything?
@omopapa5 жыл бұрын
Yes it is implied. However, implications don't always reflect reality. It's critical that this discussion is had before people make the commitment of marriage to each other.

I think it depends on your experience. My parents and grandparents have been happily together for decades. And you KNOW when someone is happy as a child growing up with them and when they are not. But there are also a lot of kids from f-ed up marriages who thinks every marriage is like that. Neither is the case but nothing wrong with wanting a long lasting relationships. I think MOST people in marriages are happy and it says something about commitment. Not everyone who has been in their jobs for 20 years are happy but MOST are and they are comfortable with staying in that position.

I don’t know man. I think the part of elderly couples that’s #goals is that they didn’t leave when time’s get tough. When they said ‘Til death do us part’ they meant it. Divorce is too easy of a way out. I agreed with Loni 10000%

I agree with Loni what’s the sense of vows if you are not in it forever! Well said! I agree. I also agree with Tamara if your man hits you.. It’s time to get out for sure. Maybe it is just me: I guess in my life the couples I knew who were married 30, 40 50 plus years were very happy and very much I love. The thing is Marriage does not end with happily every after, there is work and sacrifice to keep the love, the family, and happiness together.

It's also important to understand people these days are getting married later in life. Therefore, their marriages may be shorter because they didn't get married until 30, 35, 40.

I’m glad Loni brought that conversation back around. It is a beautiful thing to stay in a commitment with someone for that long. Not every single relationship involves cheating and betrayal. They were up there acting like all long marriages involve BS when that isn’t the case. Loni is just saying there is value in honoring that commitment you make!

I have people in my family that have been married for 20-45 years and I idolize none of them because they aren’t healthy. If there isn’t cheating there’s abuse, if there’s not abuse there’s narcissism, if it’s not that it’s one person taking advantage of the other. If nothing else these marriages have taught me everything I don’t want. I don’t want to only have longevity I am looking someone who has respect, is loyal, honest, and ambitious aside from other things. Staying in a toxic relation isn’t worth saying you’ve been together for 30+ years

Yesssss. My grandparents stayed for more than 50 years of marriage BUT then i found out that when my granda cheated 🙄 and had a child with another person 🤨🤨🤨... my grandma wanted to leave and went to her mom's house. She told her "you have to go back to your husband and suck it up". That is HORRIBLE. 😔 So... whatever 50 years, she must have been so trapped 😖 Poor grandma.

While I'm in a committed and happy relationship, I'm not sure if I'll ever want marriage. I'm 100% committed to my man, but there is something about marriage that turns me off. It could be that I rebel against any kind of tradition.
