Thank you for your kind words! We did have to put a lot of work into building our relationship, but it paid off because we were both 100% invested and rely on Jesus to make us stronger and bring us together. Not everyone will have the same story as us and sometimes two people just aren't right for each other. Other times, you work through it and create a beautiful, lifelong partnership and romance! We are blessed to have found that. 😍 We pray that you and your boyfriend will find clarity and decide whether or not to have a future together. We know it can be a really difficult time! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

I was in a wonderful long-distance relationship but she broke up with me a month ago because I was too stubborn about where we can live together and left her no choice. Aside from distance, the relationship was very loving and amazing. I regret it now, I realised I really love her and want to be with her. I am now working on concrete plans to make our future possible. I am thinking of contacting her after she cools off a little and I already work more on the plans. I hope she will forgive me for my foolishness. Thank you for giving me hopes, especially Ruth, you show me the prespective from the female side.

My ex left me 6 days ago, because of something that had little to actually do with us but we talked yesterday and got everything out and have grown from those few days apart! We’re doing great right now, back together, only telling a few people because it’s still fresh and we have some friends and even family who need time to cook off... it’s complicated. But I’m a psych major with straight As and deep down I feel like this is the right move, I can’t be 100% sure what the future brings but now it feels good. So seeing couples who aren’t toxic get back together and it works out long term. Helps me know that not all ex’s who get back together hurt each other more and things get better. So thank you for sharing your story!

Absolutely. It can be initially hard to build back your relationship, but it's now been 5 years since that break-up and we have grown closer every day. Our story will not be reflective of everyone's journey, but we got back together in the fall of 2016 and neither of us have yet wavered or doubted in this relationship. The breakup forced us both to reorient ourselves on our faith and evaluate the health of our relationship from the outside - which was so beneficial for the both of us. And having been married now for 4 years we can say that, even when we are frustrated and get in the most volatile arguments, we still have immense trust in each other. It all requires very open communication, vulnerability, and commitment from both parties. But if that's there, then you can certainly build your relationship stronger than ever!

My “boyfriend” and I went through this the summer before senior year. I didn’t understand and I was devastated at the time LOL but he needed the summer to get himself together and deal with some demons that I knew nothing about at the time. We have been together ever since. Married 15 years now with a 14 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. It all comes down to communication and work ethic, and selflessness. Other people do not have a crystal ball and we get so aggravated with people because we assume they must know how we feel and that they are doing whatever it is, on purpose. Unless you have a real deceitful spouse, that’s never the case… communication! We have even had to really work on that again in the last year. It can be an ongoing thing sometimes as you go through the seasons of life!

I’m going through such a hard time right now. I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 9 years. Our relationship has always been so perfect and we have always been so strong together and have had so much love for one another. Recently, he broke down to me saying that he wasn’t sure about us anymore that he was having doubts if he loved me anymore. We haven’t broken up, we are still together but I am currently giving him some space to think. Tonight he has his first psychologist appointment, he genuinely doesn’t know “ what is wrong with him “ and why he is feeling this way even though he desperately doesn’t want to feel this way. This guy is my absolute best friend, my world, my soulmate and I’m so destroyed that we’re going through this. I love him so much and he has always shown he loves me to death aswell. I really hope this is a rough patch in our relationship and that we will get through this stronger than ever.

God had told me before I met my wife to seek first his kingdom and to embrace my singleness and in time,As I Obeyed God would bring my wife to me. Marriage for me and my wife was a total learning process from day one however we had an advantage we had a loving heavenly father who taught us all the way.

He teaches and guides us every day and it's only through His grace that we have been so blessed. Marriage is an absolute treat and I (Thomas) am so unbelievably grateful to have a partner who is committed to her faith and encourages me to pursue Him more every day. Thank you for sharing your story with us - it really is a blessing to hear and CONGRATULATIONS on 26 years!

Why you no date Just kidding. I'm 39 and never been on a technical date. But now I'm in a 7 month long distance relationship with a woman who I feel so connected with. If it doesn't work out I am now sure I can find another girl (but I believe it will, just unsure about the distance) My advice to you, speaking as another unlucky person, stop looking in the mirror. Avoid your own reflection. This is an easy self awareness technique that disciplines your mind and let's you focus on what's going on around you. You will notice how much more out of your head you are, and may even find yourself acting purely on your own feelings. It's helped me find the girl of my dreams and part of it is I think I made her the girl of my dreams because I genuinely care about her. What I think is the problem is you are possibly a victim of narcissistic abuse. It has put you in your own head and made you believe warped things about yourself based on an image you have created. You have to destroy this image of yourself and the best way to do that is never see your own image. You will create a new and more accurate image in your own mind based on what is truly inside of yourself and people will react to this. It took me about a full year from March 2021 to February 2022 when I met the girl of my dreams. But in between that time I lost over 50 pounds and found my way out of major depression problems by focusing on what was happening in my body and reacting appropriately. Anyway.. 7 months later here I am. I've gained almost 10 pounds of muscle now and in a deep relationship with a beautiful woman. I get to fall asleep with her and the warmth she gives me sometimes makes me cry. I still do not look in the mirror. I think it's an amazing practice almost like a meditational feeling sometimes. Anyway good luck. I swear it is strange, I sometimes feel I now am like a luck magnet. You may also find you are like that. I think what it is is that I just appreciate little things more now

Thank you so much for your kind words. We have been truly blessed with the journey we've had and wouldn't change our story for anything. Relationships can be hard, heartbreaking, and messy, but they refine us into better versions of ourselves. It is really encouraging to hear that you guys ended things well and are giving yourselves space to work on yourselves. This was the crucial ingredient to our relationship. We had tried to force it to work for a long time and peace only came after we just split apart and ended things for good. This gave us time to pray, reflect, reorient, seek advice and pursue community with other people. It allowed us to see that, while our relationship was a good and comfortable thing, it wasn't the end-all be-all. Oftentimes, we grow the most in uncomfortable and even painful situations - and this was especially true for us. We hope the best for you and your ex. Even if you two are not meant to be together, you have both had an impact on the other and have grown because of your relationship. Wishing you the best moving forward. Thanks again.

Wow thank you so much for sharing this - this was speaking directly to me. Long story short, my situation was sooo similar in so many ways - I was just like Ruth and my ex was like Thomas. He was rock solid and I was dealing with doubts on top of doubts - what ifs, is it really him, am I sure it's him? Literally everything you felt Ruth is what I felt lol! Eventually, I did feel God telling me "not now" and I adhered and ended the relationship as I wanted to be obedient. I didn't know what God would do but I just had to let go. This was almost 9 months back and as of recent, I've literally felt God change my heart and I just started feeling solid, something I had never felt before..I just felt "yep it's him" and so many other little things happened too that made me think wow I think we're really being led back together. Like you said, the break was definitely necessary for clarity. I felt convicted to call him recently where we talked for 5+ hours and he shared that his love for me hasn't changed despite our breakup. Ruth, I'm curious how you dealt with potential fears that may have come up even after you felt in your heart that you wanted to marry him? Did you have fears of what the new relationship would look like? Also, I'd love to know what was the process like of you two getting back together - did you have to have more candid convos about what you want/don't want moving forward etc.? I'm reaching out to discipleship on just more clarity on moving forward as it has been most of 2020 that we've been separated.
@RuthandThomas4 жыл бұрын
Hi Molade! Thank you so much for your comment! It's really interesting hearing about your experiences and how similar they are to where we were. When we got back together after the breakup, I was confident that God had truly changed my heart. I felt a deep peace and assurance that I had genuinely never felt before and I knew it wasn't of myself. It was a weird experience because I had always been the girl who over-analyzed everything and now I just knew. Now for Thomas on the other hand, it was much more difficult for him. My change of heart was so dramatic he had a difficult time trusting that my resolution was real, which was completely understandable. So yes, when we got back together we had many many candid conversations about where I was at, where he was at, talking through the ways I had hurt him in the past and how he felt like I had disrespected him. Thomas was open with me about the fact that it was just going to take some time for him to jump back in full force. We took things slowly, prayed together daily, learned how to talk about difficult issues, and eventually got to a solid place. I would say with your situation, especially since you two have been separated for the better part of a year, definitely don't rush anything. Be open and honest about how you're feeling, but then give him time to process and respond. I don't know if he's anything like my husband, but Thomas is not always very good at understanding his own emotions let alone verbalizing them. One of the biggest things that has helped our relationship is recognizing that we think differently and that's okay -- in fact it's a good thing! We get to learn from each other every day and grow towards Christ. We find joy in our differences (most of the time 😂) and that unifies us. I have learned to give him a lot more time to think through our issues instead of feeling like we have to resolve everything NOW. I hope things go well with you and your man! We should connect on Instagram or something so we can stay in touch. ♥️

We go through a lot during 5 years of in a relationship. We are both christians. But i am still praying that everyday God will give him more strength and clarity. Actually for the both of us. Sometimes i lose hope. But i still love him. But things is out of my control. So i will let God will work it out this time. Thank u for the testimony.

I'm praying for you right now. Admitting when we are wrong can be such a hard thing to do, but it allows us to grow immensely. One of our closest friends has gone through something so similar, and while he has not yet had the opportunity to show his ex how he has changed and grown over the past few months - it has still been really good for him. Sometimes breakups give us the freedom to really look inward and improve ourselves - not just for the sake of another person, or trying to win them back - but truly to just become better versions of ourselves. I'll be praying that God gives you peace, joy, and strength. Know that, even if you don't get the opportunity to show her how you've grown, you are still better off because you have learned more aspects of humility and have improved because of the experience. I hope God blesses your continued journey!

Thanks for sharing, and being so open about the imperfections of relationships. I think my biggest question is when and how does it click that you want to be more than friends, and then ready for marriage?
@RuthandThomas3 жыл бұрын
This is a really good question and I think genuinely differs from person to person. I know this answer sounds like a cliched cop-out, but even the both of us experienced it very differently. We talked about it a bit in our first love story video, but we spent 3 months becoming best friends before I (Thomas) ever expressed romantic interest. I thought she was beautiful and charming and could make a great partner in life. But I didn’t know too much about her and wanted to work out any doubts I had prior to ever mentioning it to her - so that I didn’t lead her on. So then, by the time I had mustered the courage to ask her out, I had already thought about a future marriage with her. For Ruth, it wasn’t that easy - she had never really loved another person romantically and struggled a lot with even knowing if she ever would. She knew that she enjoyed being in relationship, but had a hard time imagining a long-term till-death-do-us-part commitment. She had doubts and fears throughout much of our dating. We prayed almost ever night together, took many breaks from each other, and sought a lot of advice from older people who had been in a similar situation. Looking back on it, neither of us have ever worried or had any doubts since the fall of 2016, but we still don’t really know why. God just really changed Ruth’s heart and gave us both immense peace, clarity, and joy; and we haven’t ever looked back.. I think the “clicking” really happened for us with time and friendship. I hadn’t ever dated anyone and Ruth had never dated anyone seriously so it was crucial for us to build a solid foundation of trust and familiarity before ever trying to be more than friends. Then we just waited on the LORD to ready both of our hearts for marriage. Ultimately, we just communicated everything that we were thinking - I wasn’t afraid to tell Ruth I loved her and wanted to marry her some day and she wasn’t afraid to express her own doubts and fears. Open communication, regular prayer, and a lot of patience - and that was pretty much it! (Sorry this answer was so long-winded, but I hope it helps answer your question at least a little bit - we will probably be releasing a Love Story - Part 3 video in the coming weeks)

Conflict can be a good thing IF you are able to communicate in a productive and loving way. Just yelling at each other and trying to be right is usually never beneficial for your relationship, but talking about hard things in a respectful way is a good skill to practice.

This gives me hope, although I almost don’t want to hope…. my girlfriend and myself are breaking up due to her moving several states away for work, after us only dating for a month. We have awesome chemistry, love each other’s company and it’s honestly been possibly the best month of my adult life, but she feels we should part ways at the moment. My heart is heavy; we’re both Christians who’ve dated other people, but never been in prior serious relationships and I (28) and her (26) are serious about treating each other right. Just after we met, she was offered the work opportunity of a lifetime, something she’d chased for years. Her people are telling her to chase that, and who could blame them, but it still hurts. I’ve received good counsel from friends who are praying, but trusting God with this is HARD! Especially, being at peace with the outcome in the likely event that this is the sudden end of what seemed an awesome thing….
@RuthandThomas2 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for reaching out to us. The hardest part of breaking up is always trusting that God will use whatever the situation is for good. I know that, for us, the best part of breaking up was being able to re-prioritize and look at the relationship from an outside perspective. Giving ourselves the space to process and pray independently of each other - allowed us to see the good and how our relationship could continue to work if we got back together. But your situation sounds really difficult. I (Thomas) can't imagine how hard it is knowing that you will both be so far away. We'll be praying that God gives you both peace and clarity during this. Trials like this can often bring a lot of clarity. Thanks again for sharing with us, continue to meet with your friends and mentors - they are the ones that will continue to ground you and give you perspective and wisdom!

I left a comment on another video recently about your quirky date ideas (the trivia egg roulette went FANTASTIC, btw), but I felt moved to comment on this video also. My girlfriend (i have the ring, so soon-to-be fiancee!!) and I watched both parts and I have sooo many things I want to say, but I'm going to keep it brief. She and I dated for a little over a year (Nov 2018 - Jan 2020) and she broke up with me because the Lord was dealing with her. I was not following God and she was convicted to break up with me. That really shook me...hard. I spend weeks running away from how I felt about that until one day on my way to work, I just began to pray; and for the first time, I felt that God was listening. Fast forward almost a year later and we got back together (Feb 2021) with both of us fully committed to Christ. While I have not officially proposed, we have a date set for March 2022. I want to say that we cried watching this video with how much of our journey together is reflected in what you've been through. We want to thank you so much for sharing your story! We love you both and are praying for you both!

If Christ is the focuses on our lives than we are more able to approach our relationship with more humility and care for each other. But thank you so much for your kind words, we are SO EXCITED for you guys! Do you know yet how you plan on asking her to marry you??

Hi Ruth and Thomas thank you for sharing. During the time of your break up was Thomas praying for you to have a change of heart? Or were you praying for a change of heart? How did prayer have a role in your relationship being reconciled?
@RuthandThomas3 жыл бұрын
I don't think either of us were necessarily praying for a change of heart. Rather, we were just praying that God's will would be done -- whether we ended up together or apart. We wanted to be at peace with whatever the result was. In the end God gave me (Ruth) peace about being together, but it could have gone the other way and I wanted to be joyful and content no matter what happened. So I think prayer played a bigger role in changing my attitude and outlook than the circumstances.

I want to be with this person but now I feel scared and still hurt. Thank you both and God bless!
@RuthandThomas2 жыл бұрын
That's a really good question! I was ready to get back together with Ruth because I just liked her company a lot, still loved her, and wanted an excuse to see her often. But when we got back together, she was ready for an engagement and I still needed some time. Honestly, depending on the severity of how you were hurt, those wounds could stay with you for a long time. It's important to give yourself the time and space to process everything that happened, journal about it, pray about it, and ultimately decide whether or not you want the other person to be your partner. In our relationship, Ruth showed me just how radically she had changed and grown in the time that we were apart, so it was relatively easy to forgive and move on. She was so different and doubt-free, that it was an entirely different relationship. Everyone's story is different, but I'll be praying for you both. Thank you for sharing.

The cool thing about where we worked at that time was that we were out in the middle of nature every day. During our time apart, I tried to get outside to clear my head, spend time reading scripture, and then also have open, honest conversations with my friends and mentors. I've found that God often speaks through other people! Seek wisdom outside yourself and always follow the peace! Ultimately God gave me a peace about Thomas that I couldn't argue with and that's when I knew we were right for each other. As a fellow over-thinker/doubter, I hope you find clarity from the Lord like we did!

Thank you for your courage to share your story and openly discuss the challenges of relationships. I was just wondering whether the two of you maintained any contact during the breaks and after the break up? Was it challenging to step back from the relationship after you had dated for some time? God bless you both and your marriage 🙏🏻❤️
@RuthandThomas3 жыл бұрын
Yes to both. It was challenging, but we both used our *many* break-ups to build community with those around us, and so we never really had to experience the intense loneliness many people experience. It was actually kind of nice to regularly take a step back from our relationship and spend more time with our friends, rather than relying on each other as an emotional crutch. But we still kept some contact between us. Honestly, I (Thomas) thought that it was important for us to maintain a semblance of contact because I still saw a future for our relationship and wanted to reassure Ruth that I still cared for her and valued her as a friend. However, our interactions were limited to group interactions, work-related activities (as we still worked together regularly), and praying together. Praying together is not something a lot of people do after they break-up and I don't even know if I would recommend it because every relationship is different, but I believe this was a huge reason why we were able to ultimately come back together and restore our relationship. We both wanted to do what was wise and right and so we regularly prayed together during our breakups for peace and clarity for each other. This allowed us to stay in contact and affirm each other, but it put the focus on our personal and independent growth and maintained that emotional space we needed to grow on our own. When we were in college and taking "breaks" from each other, I would still text Ruth encouraging thoughts I would have and she would do the same. We didn't text a lot as we both wanted to respect the "space" that we were giving each other, but I think we really valued knowing that the other was still thinking about us. This isn't for everyone, but if there is still trust in the relationship then I think it is still acceptable and even preferred that you maintain some level of contact. It doesn't have to be much, but the occasional spontaneous text lets the other know that you still care about them and, while you need your space to work through some things, you enjoy their company and want the best for them. I know this is probably more lengthy than you were expecting, but all of this made it a lot less challenging to step back from our relationship when we needed to. It was still hard (because break-ups are unbelievably painful), but it was made less-so because we knew that God was still present in our relationship. Prayer centered us both on what was important - our individual, personal walks with Jesus; affirming one another in social situations (and the occasional brief text exchange) re-established our trust in each other and reminded the other that we were still attracted to them (despite being emotionally and physically separated); and keeping our distance allowed us to turn to our close friends and mentors for wisdom - giving us the comfort and support of community and not using our past relationship as a crutch. Sorry to be so long-winded, but we hope this helps clarify some things! Thanks so much for your love and support 😊 and let us know if you have anymore questions!

Yeah, it was really hard. I had emotionally invested my future into this relationship and it was suddenly over. But the biggest help I had was a close-knit community. There weren't that many people at the camp we worked at and there wasn't too much to do - so my roommates and I would spend all day working together and then spend a lot of evenings hanging out, cooking meals together, building things, and working out. I say all of this to say that, despite the awesome community and perpetual busyness - it was still hard. We started a men's group that would meet together to talk and pray together - and that helped a lot - but I missed Ruth and sharing everything with her. Looking back on it tho, I wouldn't have changed that time at all. Because we had broken up, I was able to be there for my friends and roommates as they struggled through break-ups and different life struggles - and I was able to spend a lot of time in personal prayer and meditation. When things are going well for me I tend to forget to set aside quiet time for myself and quickly neglect prayer - so I really benefited from having my world turned upside down. It caused me to take a step back and re-evaluate, which I was desperately in need of. Sorry that I'm a bit long-winded, but if I could just offer a little sliver of encouragement it would be to seek out a solid community of like-minded guys. Have 1-3 close friends that you can share everything with and invest in those friendships. And finally, don't be afraid to be alone - use the time to improve yourself, ask the big questions, seek answers from mentors and those who have gone before you, and pray daily. Hope this helps! Praying for you now.

@RuthandThomas3 жыл бұрын
So there were a lot of doubts we both had to wrestle with throughout the relationship. Neither one of us wanted to force a relationship that wasn’t going be healthy long-term - so we just both had to get on the same page. I think one of the most practical ways we fought for the relationship was praying together and communicating regularly. - even when we broke up we still prayed together a lot and shared how we were feeling. Don’t make your partner guess what you’re feeling. A relationship takes mutual investment from both sides and you both need to share what you want out of the relationship. Ultimately, I think we both just prayed consistently for clarity and peace - and tho it took 1 1/2 years - the Lord provided and we got it. God’s in control and we just needed to trust in that. ☺️ Sorry to be so longed-winded, but I hope that answered your question!

That’s a good question! I (Thomas) didn’t really need to be asked. Yes there had been some hurts and frustrations, but when she told me she felt peace about being in a relationship again I listened to her. It would take a few months to build that trust back and our relationship moved a little slower for the next 2 months, but we both knew we wanted the relationship. There isn’t one way to ask someone to get back together. I think it’s just being open and honest with the other person, giving them space and time to work through their own emotions, hearing their concerns, and trusting that it will work out if it’s meant to work out.

We were 21 when we started dating, he was my first, i was probably his 10th lol i would unload what was on my mind on him, and get frustrated when he stayed silent. I am the one driving the relationship forward, while he takes a passive approach. We were so young when we started dating, it feels like a lifetime ago. This year we are working on finding our selves, we got so wrapped up in being the image of a husband and wife, and then being parents that we forgot ourselves in all of it. When we started dating, we were still discovering who we were.

Is Thomas an INFP? His personality is so familiar.
@RuthandThomas2 жыл бұрын
In college he thought he was an ENFP, but I'd be curious for him to take the test again and see if anything has changed since then!

@@RuthandThomas Oh lovely! Definitely sensed the NFP-ness 😅. I'm curious about the result today as well.

@@AmandaBMpofu Hey! I'm just seeing this. In college I was an ISTJ (so the exact OPPOSITE of Thomas haha). But I think we are both on the border of E and I!

Is he an enneagram 4
@RuthandThomas2 жыл бұрын
Hi! Thanks for the comment - we have never really looked in depth into the enneagrams but I think he's more of a 9.

Our story is unique to the two of us and it's hard to make generalizations about other relationships!

Haha not really sure where we would be on the Meyer-Briggs scale if we were to take the test now - we are both SO DIFFERENT than we were when we first met. Ruth was a strong ISTJ and I (Thomas) was a strong ENFP - but after being together for 7 years I think we've both kinda morphed into each other in different ways haha

You all seem nice but it really seems like you try to keep him on his heels and some of the stuff you used to do seems like you were playing games,...

Hi Ethan, thanks for your feedback! That's actually why we're sharing our story because I don't feel like I did everything right in our relationship. I WAS playing games with his heart and it hurt him for a long time. We've come through that stage stronger and more unified through open conversation and forgiveness. We hope that people can learn from our experiences!

Sometimes you have to go through the hard times first in order to know if you truly love this person. Great story and I love how you weren’t afraid to sit with your doubts and uncertainty until it passed . No relationship is perfect but this is a good model and inspiring for me to take my time with things and allow things to flow from grace 🤍

We are so grateful that we had the time to be able to sit in our doubts and work through things, but we know that not everyone has the same experience. Ultimately I think having a deep respect for each other was a big factor in getting through all of our tough times!
