:

All right, It was awesome Way to go.

:

Ju Way to go, Ju Way to go, Ju We're missing in the family? Yeah, Also, we went and saw a play on Deaf ears.

:

It was a great play on deaf ears. It was a local community church that did.

:

Yeah.

:

And the plot was about, you know, a young man losing focus and trying to get out there and do his own thing. Right right, but the more the family prayed for him, the more he found his way back to Christ, which was really interesting. My favorite part was when they thought he had gotten shot.

Patsy:

Mm-hmm.

:

And how they all came together as a family unit and they went before the throne of God and they wasn't messing around. Right, right right right, They put the cover that young man with the blood of Jesus and he found his way back. I thought it was a really, really good plot. Yeah, It was really good Yeah yeah, i can't wait for the next one. They say another one's coming behind.

:

Oh yeah, they say there's another one coming behind And you're man. You're man, i'm telling you, and the guy who was playing the young man, i'm telling you we hadn't seen him since he was like what in elementary school In elementary school amen. So we're going to give a shout out to Old Duff Ears. All right, our A and y'all went to see the Little Mermaid.

:

Yeah, so we went to see the Little Mermaid.

:

You was excited about that. I think I was more excited about it in Juicy.

:

I was really excited to see it in human form. It was really good. It didn't deviate much from the original, the animated one. It was really good and it was really good to see a lot of our people in it.

:

Right right, right right.

:

A lot of the focus was on the Little Mermaid, but Sisters was of all nationalities Asian, latino, african. It was a beautiful movie. It was beautiful, a lot of people are saying a lot of negative things about it. I won't say a lot of people, but I've read some negative comments about I don't want my daughter giving up her powers for a man, and that was so not what that movie was about.

Patsy:

Right right, right right.

:

If you have a little one and you get an opportunity, take her out.

:

Okay, okay, all right. Yeah, So it was a good enough movie for people to go and see. Yeah, i'm glad, because all of the racist comments they was really out there about that movie and I'm glad she did it and she did it well, right, it went really well. And also, getting a shout out to the Miami Heat We're Celtics fans but they won and won And so I watched that game. They played real good last night. I was very surprised, so I'll give them a little. I'll just give them a little Miami Heat.

Patsy:

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

:

All right, we're ready to get into tonight's topic is how much PDA is too much. Pda stands for Public Display of Affection. Right, when I said I told you about the PDA, you was like what, what the world is PDA? And I was like, yeah, i was reading about it and a lot of psychologists was using that term and everything but public display of affection, and it came about. One of the things that came about was this viral video, this viral video that you know, that went out And I'm you know, so a lot of people were talking about it and everything like that.

:

And so we're going to play a little bit of this viral video and we're going to talk a little bit about it. Is that all right? That's fine with you, that's fine with you. All right, here we go. Here we go Here we go, all right. All right, i don't want to get, i don't want to get no claps on that one, but you know, hey, it is, it is what it is, you know on that. But let's talk, let's talk about that video, all right, let's talk about it a little bit. What was your thoughts on?

Patsy:

that video.

:

Wow, my thoughts on that video. I don't know. I'm kind of biased in that area because I mean it's a husband and a wife. They had a party.

Patsy:

Right right right.

:

And they dancing.

:

OK, ok, dancing Mm hmm.

:

Me personally, i wouldn't do that type of dance against you at a party, at an open party like that.

:

Why you wouldn't do that?

:

That's just not my. I feel I have a bit more class about myself than to bend it over and spread it wide in the public, so I wouldn't do it. but you know, she chose to do it and he chose to accept it. So I feel like that's them. OK, all right.

:

All right, yeah, it's their choice, right, Yeah, I mean, I think you know with me, it was more social media that put it out there. I think if something like that, we got to understand he's a pastor, All right, I think she's a pastor. She's a first lady, All right. I put it like this I don't think I would want to see like when President Obama and was in the White House. I don't think I would have loved like to see President Obama and Michelle dancing like that.

:

You know, Bishop Jason and Serita.

:

Yeah, you know, it's all because of who they represent. You see them saying they are the president of the United States And people. We are looking at them. Same thing with pastors, I think, is that members are looking at us, Other people are looking at us And we're going to talk about a little bit about this little bit of scripture here And other people are looking at us, And so we got to be careful of how we represent Christ, you know, because we don't want nobody to stumble on us And so. But I think also if they were done in private, it's, you know, it's in private. So if they were at a party, you know, and the person who put it out on social media didn't have no business putting it out on social media.

:

I can agree with that. Yeah, I think something should be held privately, Right right, yeah, so it shouldn't.

:

I don't think he should have put it out on social media. You know they should have. You know, whatever she was doing, dancing, you know the dance with, you know with, with Dietrich, that was on them. Now, dietrich, you know, he did come out and he, he said what his thing was is that he, he didn't, he didn't say he didn't come against people or anything like that, but what he did say was that we should be able to disagree or agree without demonizing. Yeah, and I think that's what's happening in the church.

:

It happens in the church a lot is that we demonize everything. You know, oh, you, you, you, you're a demon in you. You know you're going to hell because you did. You know why would they be going to hell? because she was dancing, you know, twerking on her husband, you know, and so they. It shouldn't be like that. We should be able to disagree without demonizing everything. And, matter of fact, i think it goes like what you said I wouldn't do it. But if that's what you want to do, then that's what you want to do, right, so that's, that's how it should be. It shouldn't be, no, no different than that No condemnation Right.

:

It shouldn't be. It shouldn't be like that. But you know, we have some Christians. That's that's what they do. They want to judge every, everything And so, but they shouldn't do that.

:

Right, i agree with you. I feel like you know it's a time and a place for everything.

Patsy:

Right.

:

It's a time and a place for everything, and you and in this, in today's society, we have to hold a standard, you know, especially when we're holding positions. I really hate to say a position right right A title Right. I don't like using those phrases when it comes down to, to people of God. But when you're, when you're a leader, how about that That's?

:

okay, i agree with that.

:

You're a leader. You have to be so careful about what you do, how you do it and where you do it at. There's people, the people already holding us in contempt. already You right. You know we don't do as much as it is, we let one little thing slip, but we not even let something slip If we just get into our own. You know, hey, everybody, everybody don't make love to amazing grace.

:

All right Now, talk to us. Talk to us.

:

So you got to have your, your, your. Hey, let me turn on a little. You know, um, um turn on a little baby face or something Right right, right, right right. You know, we all have those moments. We can move from our past.

Patsy:

Right.

:

Our past is still our past. Right, right We're still out there and shake a tail feather.

Patsy:

You know that's still out there. Right.

:

And, being a lot of African, of African descent, all we know is to beat. So when we hear to beat, the first thing I hear it go to doing is yeah, i like that It doesn't change, because we save, sanctified and feel with the Holy.

:

Spirit. You right, that's right, that's right. That's kind of how I look at it. That's how you look at it. Okay, yeah, i agree with that. So, but so it, like I said, it was a viral video and a lot of people talked about it, and so we're going to talk about it tonight. You know how much, you know how much PDA, how much public display of affection is too much. Is it? does it get too much? All right, what's your thoughts in the beginning? What do you think? Can it get too much?

:

I think yeah, if you groping on each other at the grocery store Groping, groping. Groping, and you know, and you know it's one thing I don't like in public and I don't like when you smack me on my butt. You don't like that.

:

I thought you liked that.

:

I mean I like that at home.

:

Oh, okay.

:

But, not when we out and about. Okay, i'll make sure I remember that. Hey, i don't like you when you smack me on my butt either in the public. Okay, i'll do it, all right. Okay, all right, cool, cool We. So we got some things. You know that PDA, a PDA that we had to work out ourselves, all right, but at least we, hey, we, we are honest that this is marriage in real life, you know at least. Hey, my see, my, my nephew, tyrone, is on Tyrone. Yeah, what's up Jake? What's up Jake? What's up Jake? I know some other people on.

:

Come on, y'all, put your comments in the, in the, in the chat there. Tell us what you think about viral video, what you think about public display of affection. Do you think that you know, married couples can go too far in public display of affection? Cause we just talking about married couples now We talking about engaged couples. You know we talking about married couples, right? That's what we talking about. We talking about, all right.

:

So here are five questions you need to ask yourself on where public display of affection is concerned, and I got this from cross crosswalkcom. The contributor was Karen Ken Yogo. She was around last year, 13 April, so apparently this is. This is just something that's not just recent. This is out there, all right. So the number one, the number one question that is asked, that is, we as Christians now we're talking about Christian couples, right, christian couples.

:

Number one question is are we causing others to stumble? That's the number one question that we should ask ourselves Are we causing others to stumble? Because the Bible says in Romans 14, 21,. It is good and neither to eat meat nor drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, brother or sister stumbles, or is offended or is made weak. Right, that's what the Bible says. It is good, neither. So that means we don't do it. And Paul was, you know, paul was, you know, he was urging that Roman church, you know, to to assure that everything that they did was motivated by love for the neighbor, right? So if we love our neighbor, we won't cause another person to stumble. So that's why you said it's good to either either drink nor drink wine, You know, drink Hennessy, drink some vodka, you know all that kind of stuff that do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

:

That's why I said in the beginning is that, look, sometimes you just need to keep things private, because sometimes when you put things out there, you're causing your brother to stumble. Right, you're causing your brother to stumble. And sometimes you know what people look at it. So people may look at the video and they don't say anything about. Well, it's, it's, it's a, it's a married couple. They just say, oh, it's a couple, that's what they look at. And now here come a, here come a brother, and here come this girl twerking on on them and you know what happened. When, when, when, when, when we do that, you're right, you know the one one heart don't talk to the other, Right, and now you're out there. Now it's a sexual thing, right, it becomes sexual And you don't want to cause your brother or your sister to stumble. You just don't want to do it because not everybody has it And we're going to talk about it.

:

Self control- So what you're saying is so in the video she was dancing against her husband. She wasn't just dancing.

:

She was twerking. Okay, yes, you, we got to see. That's what he said. Oh, we were just dancing. Okay, you, just we dance. You know we do the two step, that's what we do, we do, that's it. That, that is dancing. But there's a there's a fine line between twerking, you know twerking, you know doing it while he's out to my. Oh, yeah, you know.

:

Okay, so that whole scenario, because onlookers may have saw her, although she was dancing with her husband and it could have been other people there that saw her. She could have caused them to stumble. Oh, yeah, she could have.

Speaker 2:

It could have.

:

That's why we got to be careful of what we do and what we say, because again, it may cause somebody to stumble. Now we may say, well, i'm just dancing with my husband, i'm just twerking on my husband, yeah, you that is. You may be doing it, but again, as Christians, we are held as Christians and as pastors, we're held at a higher standard. So what somebody else may get away with, you know, we may not, we, we, we gonna get away with it. You know, i told me to see what I was.

:

I think I was telling Juicy one time I was, he was, you know I was telling her. I said, juicy, you got to realize you're Richards, you know what other people get away with. We, as Richards, we don't get away with, right? Well, it's just, you know and I just instilled that in her that we don't get. We just don't get away with that stuff. Because I've noticed that, you know, growing up, in that I mean other guys are getting away with other guys get away with these stuff. I tried, i get caught. You know why? Because I just believe that when the hand of God is on you, when the hand of God is on your life, man is certain things that you ain't just ain't gonna get away with it. You just ain't gonna get away with it. So you have to be careful, you have to be careful, and so that's why I said social media may will mess people up.

:

Oh, social media have missed. Yeah, i've destroyed marriages.

:

Destroyed marriages. Mm, hmm, Yep. And then you know, Jesus went on and warned that anyone who would cause the little ones to sin would be better off with a millstone round his neck and drown into the sea. So if you cause somebody else to sin again, again, what if it's not your intentions?

:

maybe you know, maybe they were just having a good time and you know she, they would turned up and she don't even she didn't even realize. You know what I'm saying. Maybe she had a couple glasses of wine with you know, whatever, And she just kind of got a little relaxed and was partying or whatever. So if she, if it wasn't her intentions, did she still held accountable for that?

:

Yeah, as a, as a leader and as a pastor. So it may benign being your intentions, but as you know how they say um, that people will come out and say say, you know what, i know y'all saw the video. Instead of being defensive on the video, say, hey, i know y'all saw the video. Hey, we saw it. We, if anybody. Just you know their intentions. Our intentions was to have a good time. We never would cause nobody to stumble. Bam, it's done You, you just done, you know. You know it's just like this. When, when people ask um, when you do um for forgiveness and stuff like that, sometimes you don't know that you hurt the person and it's not your intentions to hurt the person. But when, the, when people still come to you and say you hurt me, it is your responsibility to say you know, i'm sorry, i didn't mean to right. So, in the instance when, when some, not all, but when people went on social media and, and without getting defensive, you just say well, you know what, hmm, maybe it wasn't the right thing to put out, you know what? Yes, we can disagree, whatever. If my intentions, our intentions, was never to cause anybody to stumble or whatever, and you know we're sorry about that. Boom done, i'm done, i'm over with it. Okay, right, Because, again, pastors, leaders inside the church, presidents, congress, they're held at a higher standard. They look, they can't. We can't get away with stuff like somebody else can. That's because guy holds a higher standard. What do you think? Yeah, okay, all right, cool, now, we don't believe you, don't think that. You know, it's just. Hey, that's just the way it is. Yeah, we hold our politicians at a higher standard. We hold our judges at a higher standard. We hold our teachers at a higher standard than a regular. We just do that. We. You know certain things that a teacher can't get away with. You know, they just can't because they're a teacher, you know. So, all right, so that is.

:

The first one is that are we causing others to stumble? So we got to be careful. When we have a public display of an infection, you know, are we causing someone else to stumble? Right, okay, now again, i'm just a firm believer. Kissing your wife, holding your hands, hugging, i mean, if somebody gets crazy like that and that caused you to stumble, then something is wrong, you know. But if you've got a problem with that, you could just just come. We're going to talk about that, though. We're going to talk about that. All right, number number number number two. So the first one is are we causing anyone to stumble? Number two is are we inspiring others? All right, before we get that, i see that we got some people.

:

Malika, what did she say? She says there's definitely a line that can be crossed. That can be crossed, malika. I would like to hear what line can be crossed later on when we get finished. Tyrone says amen, this video can cause others to stumble, ferg. How you doing? Ferg? First, i remember teaching peaches to drive. I always had Chayelle and Javay with me because I didn't want to have the good. That I did be looked at as something negative. That was good.

:

Wow, yes, that was good. I remember that. And Wes and I say I'm late getting on, so but yeah, you're on the same topic, you're on the same subject. And Malika said with great power comes great responsibility. I love that, malika. I love that. I'm going to have to give you a hand clap on that one girl. She get a hand clap this time. Yeah, she get a hand clap this time, yeah. Though, yeah, yeah, caroline ain't here, but I'm going to. I'm going to give you that hand clap, yeah, All right. So number two are we inspiring others? So our infection, are we inspiring others? Right Now, it is evident And I would hope this it is evident, it was evident by social media, is evident by us being a real life church that I love you with all my heart.

:

Definitely evident.

:

It's evident. People hit us up on social media and they say they watching us, they inspired by us, by us, you know, just showing infections, showing where we went at. You know, and I would hope the church would know, that I love you with all my heart, you know. You know, so that inspires other couples to you know, to do the same. You know, i mean, you know that, bring me back to the. yeah, you know I'm going to. We was in publics, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell us that story, tell us that story. Yeah, tell that story, tell that story.

:

So we were in publics and Eric was at the register. So I said well, let me go over here to a red box and see what new movies are coming out. And while I was gone, the cashier said to him ah, your wife, she has such a beautiful smile. And he said yeah, that's my baby. So on the way back I kind of saw him turn around looking at me and I'm like what? And I walked up and I'm like smiling, and the lady behind behind Eric and line said oh my God, oh my God, his face just lit up. When you talk about you and you come over here and your face is right in

Speaker 6:

his head.

:

She was like oh yeah, i want that kind of love.

Speaker 6:

Yeah.

:

Yeah, yeah, and we weren't even touching each other, we weren't even touching, we were just smiling, you know, just smiling about each other.

:

you know I mean the people, the women at your job. they think I'm 6'5", a 6'6".

:

I know They always say, the way you talk about your husband and the smile on your face, it's like we think he's like 6'1" And we see it we be like oh that's fast as husband Oh. Lord, Lord She has a lot of great things to say about you. I do. You bring me joy.

Patsy:

You bring me joy. I love you too.

:

And I know the world knows you know. And even if they didn't, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I love you Right.

:

So, besides, modeling beautiful, godly marriages is part of our mandate as believers? It is. This is what Titus says, and this talks about women, older women and younger women, but this has something to do with marriages. You can put it in a marriage principle as well. It says in Titus 2, 3, through 4, the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderous, not given too much wine teaches of good things, that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, and so that admonishment is that people are teaching them. So as a couple, we should be teaching other couples on loving each other. It should be a smile. It should not be. Oh Lord, here he comes, here he comes. It shouldn't be like that. And if it gets, and if a marriage gets to that, you need to see some counseling, because it's no way that you should be living with somebody that you despise.

:

Yeah, you should know, I agree with that. It should not. If it's toxic, it's just it's bad Yeah.

:

Yeah, you should not be living with somebody that you despise, that you can't go in the public and say you know, my husband, i love my husband or I love my wife. No, no, no, no, no. I just can't see that You could be mad. I can be mad at you, but I still love you, you know. And so I can be mad at you in public and people could talk about people, you know, not talk about you, but they're talking about you, you know. And I just smile because even though I'm mad, i still love that girl. Yeah, man, look at that Wesley. Ferg say oh, look at them, pass it, be smiling. Ferg said I thought you were six. To myself, my nephew, tyrone, says we are not perfect, but we are supposed to be the light that should that shine in darkness, and that's how we should be.

:

Absolutely I agree with that.

:

Yeah, that's how we should be.

:

Tyrone should get a clap. Tyrone should get a clap.

:

Okay, all right, tyrone, you got to clap, tyrone, you got to clap, all right. So when we inspire to, when people look at our marriage, they should be saying I want that, you know, and I know. When we say I want that, they don't know what we went through to get this, but they're saying I want to have that love, you know, i want to have that, i want to smile and I just I just smile when people say that And I, you know, we often say, man, they don't know what we went through.

:

If they only knew.

:

Yeah, love, if they only knew.

Patsy:

But, you know when.

:

God is in it, there we go.

:

God is in it. Yeah, yeah, god is in it. That's it.

:

And that's why I remind couples a lot. You know you can't, but God has joined together. Yeah, no man put a sonda. Be careful what you speak on, be careful how you react, because you allow the enemy to get in there and destroy what God has joined together.

:

That's right, that's right, that's right. The writer also said watching a couple walking together appearing aloof and disconnected, it is disheartening. It is, they say don't they love each other other more? can't they even hold hands? you may wonder all right, you know that That's, that's not good. That's, that's not good, all right.

:

So, number one, on the question number, the first question you need to ask when you out there doing your public display of it Are we can? are we causing others to stumble? number two Are we inspiring others? All right. number three are we being considerate of others? Are we being considered of others? Philippine, on Philippians 2 and 3, says let nothing be done through Selfish ambition or conceit, but in loneliness of mind, let each let each esteem others better than him himself. So you, you, it's nothing selfish about your public display. You got to be considerate, says imagine you and your spouse Hanging out with one of your single friends, right? you hanging out with one of your single friends and me and you over there just tongue kissing and you know, doing all that kind of stuff. now They single, right?

:

yeah, you know I would definitely be.

:

Inapproved. That would be we not being considerate of that person. Now, to be different, and I'm not even tongue kissing, but we, you know, we showing so much affection, not even tongue kissing, but we just showing so much affection, right Yeah, deep kissing, you know, you know, but not even deep kissing. We just showing each other affection.

:

And this person is single like, so Where would I single friend? We can't hold hands.

:

Yeah, no, no, i'm saying Yeah, i'm saying we, we can do that, but we can't, i guess, can't go overboard. You know, they single, maybe, maybe, maybe they looking for a person, maybe they going through something, but they single. But we know we're not being considerate of them, of their feelings of man, the same man I wish I had. That you know they saying in himself. Now It's totally different if we're out with a married couple. You see the difference.

:

Oh, yes, i do, i get that. But even if we're with the American couple, we still want to be Respectful, right right Of our affection.

Patsy:

Mm-hmm.

:

So you know I'm gonna pull like if we're out somewhere I'm gonna pull you on the dance floor and I'm gonna dance up against you. You know we.

:

But we, but you dance up against me, but you don't twerk up against me.

:

You know, i just really don't like that. very true, but that's the answer, that's the actual dance.

:

That's what it is. You may not like the word, but that's what it was. It's different between you dancing up against me and twerking. It's a totally different thing, don't you think? Right, right, so we have to call it what it is. You know it's difference between you dancing up against me and you twerking, right, okay, cool, all right. So so You dance up against me all the time, right, but you ain't been an over twerking and I, oh yeah, that's what we don't. We don't do that, right, what's that? I'm just saying that again. If, if, if Dietrich wants to do that, if Monique and Dietrich them only want to do, that's on them, you know. But for us It's, it's not us. All right, so so are we being Considerable?

:

other says the environment you find yourself is in another guide engaging. How much PDA is too much PDA? remember to put the interest of others above your own, because that's what it says. It says let nothing be done through selfish ambitions or conceit, but in loneliness of mind, let each, let each esteem others Better than themselves. So we're in this and we're looking out for one another. You know that's what we're doing. One another. You know that's what well. They am looking out for you. You know all right, and it goes here.

:

This is another one. It says love suffers long. And is what kind Love? does not envy, love, does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave Ruley, it doesn't do that. Love doesn't do that, does not seek its own. See what love does is not provoke, thinks no evil does, does not Rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believe all things, hopes all things, endures all things. So we see what love does. You know love doesn't behave rudely. You know Love doesn't seek to to be out there for everybody to see, right but again, you gotta also look at It's social media.

:

It's, the cameras are everywhere.

Patsy:

Mm-hmm.

:

You can't sneeze or blow your nose. You know if you, if you have some type of status, because you know, you probably say, oh yeah, he blowing his nose because he probably didn't do it. Oh, it's just it. We, we live in a rural way the most minute thing to be blown Out of proportion. I'm not saying that that wasn't because that that that was not good. I didn't agree with that at all. Um, but you know what they do and they boudoir is their business right.

:

But you can't really do much these days because It's camera everywhere. Yeah it's a camera everywhere, on the street corner and the traffic lights in the grocery stores, in the parking lot and people's hands. It's everywhere. So you can't. You have to be careful about every little thing that you do, because you never know how it's gonna blow up and come back at you.

:

Yeah, i mean, that's why, even like with um preachers when they preach, that's why it's very good, it's very good that we don't preach our own thoughts.

:

We preach from the word of god. So, when we preach from the word of god, if they make a clip about, about it, we're speaking from the word of god. We're not speaking on our own opinion. We're not speaking on what news, we're not speaking on that, but we're speaking from the word of god. So when they, again, when they make that clip, you make that clip. I'm talking from the word of god. I'm speaking from the word of god, so it doesn't matter, you know. So I don't go off on a tangent. I, you know, i tried, i really tried not to go off on it because we on, we on, we live stream our church And so anybody can go and get a clip and just make it viral. You know, and I'm not and again, i'm not not saying something because I don't want the clip to go viral, i'm, i'm saying that I preach from the word. So if it does go viral, hey, the viral, the word is going viral. That's how I believe.

:

All right, so we got some other people here. Um, i see, um, um furrige says we, uh, let's see, let me take this down here. We have to show That marriage isn't all bad. It's wonderful when you are one accord towards the same goal. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, um. Is he asked the question What do you consider overboard? And I think we'll get to that. I think, well, i think, um, um, we'll. You know we'll. Once everything is is done, i think we'll say what is what we think is overboard, right, um, um furrige says um, but number two wants us to inspire them, single folks, all right. So I see what you're saying on that, furrige, i see that you're saying. You know that. You know we, we should inspire the single, single folks, but we don't want them to feel out of place too.

:

We had to say an example, we had to say an example, you know, say, hey, this is what marriage is. But you know, we have to, i guess we have to know who we're with. And sometimes, when you don't know who you're with, you know you may be causing somebody else to stumble, or you may be, you know, and I consider it to you know. So we try to be considerate. All right, all right, so, um, okay, so we, almost, we almost. So. Number one was are we causing others to stumble? All right? Number two is are we inspiring others? And I pray that our marriage has inspired others. Yeah, that's interesting.

:

I always say really Yeah, yeah you know we. I really admire you guys. I'll be like us us.

:

All right, and number three All right, and number three are we being considerate of others? You know, um, we're the married, single, divorced, you know, um, when we show an affection, are we, you know? are we, you know, being considered to want to others? Number four is it helping us nurture our marriage and relationship If the public display of affection Is it helping us to nurture what we have?

:

So I'm gonna put it to you like this When we're in public I don't know about other women, but I mean I, i like when you Grab my hand or when you pull me close to you and kiss me on my cheek or my forehead And it, and when you take my hand and you kiss my hand, i'm like oh, my god.

:

Oh, let me take your hand, baby. I know that with the, with the podcast, they probably can't. Well, i take everybody watching. They can see me take your hand, baby, all right, so.

:

I kind of I kind of it's something about that maybe, like you know what, I'm his girl and he's letting the rule know that You know I'm his girl and I like that right. I don't like this man, yeah, okay.

:

Listen what he said, listen what. Listen what the writer said. It says um public, the display of affection has its place in a love relationship. This is what it says. It says lots of women have a deep-seated need for affection. Oh, wow, yeah, lots of women have a deep-seated need for affection. Receiving affection from their lovers make them feel valued and cared for. They also feel secure and protected in their relationship. Yeah, it says without affection, many women feel dejected and resentful towards their partner. They in turn struggle to meet the varying needs of their partner. So it says so in general, most women cannot do without affection. I totally agree with that.

:

All right, we're gonna give It's our way of um To all the women it's our way of you re In reassuring us that, that we are wanted, that you still feel attracted to me, that you know that I'm your girl, i I'm feeling protected. You know, um, i feel secure, you know, like literally secure, when I'm with you.

:

All right, so Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah well, you don't say that I don't even want the money, you know, you know, all right. So so, men, if we know women wants that or they need that, not a matter that they want, but they need that affection. Again, we we always talk about and we don't. Men are different from women. You know. Men from Mars, women from Venus, or whether high it goes later, we, we are, we, you know A man, i mean, you know, you, we could just walk, you know, but the woman, that is a lots of women, have deep seeded need for affection, and you know, i guess that's why, look, that's why it says in Ephesians 5, 20, 80, and 29, so husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself, for no one hated his own flesh but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does. The church Is he. Because God already knew that he had set us up different. And so Paul wanted to say look, this is what husbands got to do. You gotta love your own wife. I love that word your own wife, your own wife as their own bodies. If you love your body, you're gonna love your wife. That is a charge to men, you know.

:

Again, as we talk to couples, don't get into what the husband and your wife do. No, you just do what you're supposed to do. I need to do, i need to love you And that love that I give to you, it shows you that you're protected, that I care for you, that I love you. I see you smiling baby. I'm looking out of major blush. I see them dimples All right, furg. Says. Furg, say ain't nothing like showing the world that she is mine and I'm proud of it. And then Furg gonna tell me don't speak for all of us men, eric. Okay, i'm telling you now.

:

I was about to say.

:

you know, like you don't desire certain affection from me when we're in public, yeah, I mean, yeah, it'd be times that, yes, i want you know, i want people to know that you love me And you know, yeah, yeah, i mean. But I'm just saying men in general, you know, we, just we, just we, just we affection is not one of the top 10 emotions that we gotta have.

:

Okay, so what's?

:

the top. Oh no, no, no, no, no It is. if you, i would say this and I would, I would, i would go to bat on this one If, if they, if we did a hundred men and the love language tests right, a hundred men and the love language test, i can almost go 90% to 95% you would not have majority of them saying you know, touch, i've got it. Come on, men. I mean, am I right or not? Come on y'all men. that's on there. But I would, i would, i would go to say that 90% of the women is touch.

:

I can't. I can't speak for those other women, but I know, for me it's touch.

:

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, i think touch give you a sense of security. I, i don't know, i mean definitely a touch in mind, but I'm pretty sure most of the men would be to give, because you guys are put in this standard of taking care of and providing for and keeping the household emotionally secure and financially secure. So y'all job in y'all creation is to give. So that's what y'all think, because I know, you know, a few of my friends of different cultures was raising a household with their fathers where they dad didn't. they was like dad, do you love me? And he was like what make you think I don't love you? You got a roof over your head, you got clothes on your back, you go to school. you know I'm giving, i'm giving, i'm giving, i'm giving you all of this. This should let you know that.

:

I love you, but nothing beats the words I love you. You can give, give, give, give all day, but if you? but if you don't show no type of compassion or you know, just just say I love you you know, and that makes a difference, and I think maybe a few of you men might want to go back to that love language and read that text.

:

you know, i'm just you know I mean, i mean, I experienced that. You know, i'll tell you, um about the. You know the saying that you love me. You know that you know my. Again, my dad, um, he's Jamaican and he was not, no, not one time that I could remember he'd tell me that he loved me because, again, he had that. You know, i provide a roof, I provide clothes, i provide this and that you know. But honestly, honestly, patsy, i, I, i can't remember because we try to show affection in front of our kids.

:

Yeah, sometimes it's on the time of you know and all that, all this kind of stuff to get a room. We know how to get a room, you know, and we try to show the and and your words always. But yeah, you better hope y'all have you had the same thing when you get older, right And um, but I don't, even I can't. I can probably put it on two hands that I see my mom and my dad kiss.

:

Like just a pic. Just like a pic.

:

Wow, yeah, i just I didn't remember that, you know, and so my dad didn't tell me that. You know that he loved me, but again, that culture, that Jamaican descent, was like, look, if I provide a roof for your head, I provide clothes, i provide food and all that stuff, that that's a minute. Did I know that he loved me? Yeah, i knew that he loved me because of the whole situation. I knew that he loved me. I knew my mom loved me, but they didn't tell me.

:

So that's why I try to tell my kids as much as I can, especially my son, um Jordan, because I don't think a lot of times men don't show affection to their sons. You know They don't. We don't hug them, we don't love them. You know we don't kiss them on the forehead or whatever like that. We don't show affection to them And so when they get older they don't know how to show it to to somebody else. So that's why you know me and Jordan, always, you know, one thing we try to do is in our conversation with I love you, you know, cause I love, i love my son, i love my kids, i love them. I love all of them, you know Beaches, erica, natalie, nicole, the whole crew.

:

Yeah, yeah, i'm a Lica. I love all of them.

:

You know what? That's what I'm talking about Harold Alright.

:

You know what? All the Ferg said? the same thing, right, i can almost they saying that now. right, they saying that now. But I can almost guarantee you, betsy, i can almost guarantee Ferg, tyrone, all of these jokers that's saying that right now, right, like to be respected, which gets them to show more affection. Okay, i can get that. Alright, jordan, it depends My love language is touched, but I'm not too concerned with public display of affection. These jokers, man, these jokers that's on this thing here.

:

Tell us around on the floor.

:

These jokers is known for a fact. If we were to give the I mean when I could say in Howard's word I'm saying just to look at what Malika said, though I remember telling y'all how I love you isn't really said in the Haitian culture.

:

It's just a matter of fact by actions.

:

Wow, and look what Izzy said.

:

She did, and I remember her telling me that as well.

:

Yeah, a lot of cultures, don't you know they don't do that. You know a lot of you know, and then not only different. You know Haitian culture, jamaican culture, the older African American I mean older than America they don't, they didn't used to do that, they didn't come around. You know, like I said, they didn't do it. And I think with the I don't know baby, i don't know baby boomers, millennia, i don't know what they call it, but our generation, we just wanted to tell each other that we love you Yeah.

:

You know we'll say, we'll say all right, now I'll say love, I love you to some of my friends that I would have never said when I was young, right, My best friends, man, I love you. Man, You know, I, when I was I'm talking to a pastor, her or whatever man we finished, man, I love you. You know, it just wasn't back in the days, That wouldn't happen. Because, again, what was the stigma of you telling another man that you love him? right, It was just a stigma. Right now, I don't care. You know, I love my brothers, I love them, I love my sisters, you know. All right, So is this a? yeah, I just want to go back to these jokers here, these men here. You know, these jokers here talking, they want to put me out there like I'm the only one.

:

They just telling a true self you know it's their truth. Yeah, Now you can't tell that when we were riding down the road. you know just chilling on our Sunday drive.

:

On the Sunday drive.

:

And I reached over and I ruled the back of your head, oh, yeah, i love that And also. You like touch too.

:

I love that rule of the head. I gotta give.

:

I gotta give applause for that one Man when she put her hands on the back of my neck and rubbed my back. Lord please, Lord please. So you can't even say So okay. So let's say giving. I think it's just a part of the nature and what God has created for men. But you know, touching even even Jordan, i'm joining us to love in his back rub when he was a little mommy, touch my mommy, rub my back.

:

I'd be like, you know, when you get older I'm gonna need you to, you know, reciprocate this. So you know we can, we can do this. But yeah, so touches, touches, important. And it's so funny that you mentioned touch because remember when we took the love language quiz, you and I, and it literally came down to that you are a giver, that's your love language and mine was touch.

:

Yes So anyway, and yours is touch. And then. So my cousin from Atlanta sent me one very similar to the one that we we took years ago, and I read it And, as I thought about our answers, it came right back to the same thing Yours is giving and mine is touch, yeah. So okay, let me touch.

:

All right, all right Now, baby. All right, all right. So what is it say? the words I love you doesn't hold a lot of weight. I need to see the actions more, more than the words. You know, they just think about this and what was very important. what is it said? God could have said I love you so much, i love you so much, and that, what could have been it? and it was God. He, yeah, he was God, you know, but when he sent his only son to die, he showed us how much he loved us. Yeah Right, it's like we were from the show me state. He showed us not only did he speak it, but he showed us how much he loved. We look in the Bible, in the Old Testament, you know, he showed the children of Israel, all through the Old Testament, of how much he loved them. He showed him.

:

He did.

:

Right. You know, even though they did something, he still brought them out and they maybe went through something, but he brought them out. He showed them how much he loved. All right, all right. So what Tyrone? Tyrone say it is very important for Maricopa's to know each other love language. This can be different in other marriages. Yeah, all right, is that? is that Kim? That's Kim that said that? Tyrone? All right, absolutely All right. As I say, i was just about to ask about the head roll. All right.

:

Love is definitely an action word and I've said that a lot of times. You know, it, it, it, it doesn't, it doesn't pause continual.

:

Yep, yep, yep, yep, all right. So this also says that you can still meet your wife's emotional needs while in public by choosing acceptable affectionate gestures, for example, speaking loving words to her That's, that's, you know. You know loving words. Hugging her, offering a short kiss right, holding her hand and opening doors for her, with Keeper enthused Absolutely, absolutely, all right. You said that way, you will still nurture your marriage even while you are outdoors. Number five we're going to do this quickly. Are we exercising self control? Number five Well, that's, that's part of the. Are we, as it says, like a city whose walls are broken through a person who lacks self control? Proverbs 328. So we got to make sure that it goes without saying that some affectionate gestures, like deep kissing and caressing, should be explored in private. Do you agree with that? Yeah, you know deep kissing Now, although when I came home in that plug and we, we, we kissed, but we ain't worried about nobody in there. We hadn't seen each other in two months or something.

:

I was hoping you wouldn't mention that, Hey, hey but hey, i love them, hey, and that was I miss you. I hadn't seen you in like three whole days.

:

Yeah, but you know, that was different for me, because I don't usually do that, hey, but I, man, I had missed you, man, two days gone by, you know, and I was, you know, and I was trying to get there. I was mad at that, mad at the pilot and everything you know, but it goes right. Self control. You need to have self control. Again, if you show us the people, it was inappropriate, was it inappropriate? Nobody, you know what, if I wouldn't have said nothing tonight, nobody here wouldn't have known about it. Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't no video, it wasn't none of that. It was. It was a family, the family, the whole family, know we love each other, right, and so that's, that's, and that's what I'm saying.

:

I knew I was missing you the whole night.

:

Yeah, And so that's what I'm saying And it's about this social media and these videos. You know, sometimes it's could be done in private. You know, just take it off there. This is a family type of it. We don't need to take no video or whatever like that. This is us And we want to be affection. We could be affectionate, you know, as long as we don't go as as it's made, to say it overboard. Overboard is some of the you know the man, i would say the caressing places that shouldn't be caressed.

:

In public, In public you know, make sure we say in public.

:

In public, yeah, you know, in private you better caress everything, but in public you shouldn't be caressing things that you should not be. You shouldn't be caressing in public because you're not, you're not self-control, you're not. You know you're being, maybe being stumbling block to somebody else You never know, but you shouldn't be. You really have to be careful. All right, let's go through some of these things And we're going to take some phone calls here. It just says I feel like it's important for married couples to show some affection in public whilst they're maintaining boundaries. Yes, we make sure that our son sees what a healthy relationship looks like. I love it. I love it. I love it. Is it? We are, we are his first example. I think single folks should see it as well. But boundaries is the key. I think that is it I'm going to give you, because last time she complained I didn't give him a like I don't talk about that, just do the applause.

:

That's what I'm talking about. Can we hear?

:

one more. All right, i don't know what he's talking about. All right, i really don't know what for talking about. All right, so we're going to try this thing here. Try to what, what, what, what, what.

:

I see a first say show me why you say it. And that's important too. You know you can, you know you're giving that massage and putting the elbow in there. You know how much I love you, baby, right, yeah, so I get it, i get it, i get that.

Speaker 6:

Okay.

:

All right, cool, cool, cool, all right.

:

But we definitely want to set boundaries. You know we don't want to go overboard And I think that may have been the first time in a forever Yeah. That we ever kissed like that in public?

:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think so either.

:

And I think it's also important that you know, like, like it's made to say, that our children see us affectionate with one another and in a healthy relationship. You know, i think, because they see, you know, because they see our relationship, they really set the young men they date as a really high standard. So yeah, you know yeah, yeah.

:

All right. So now we got a couple of more minutes for somebody to call in, if you want to call in and give us your thoughts. Nine, five, four, i mean, i'm sorry, seven, five, four, two, two, two, two, two, one. Nine. Seven, five, four, two, two, two, two, one, nine. Now you only have one minute. One minute to make your comment or ask your question. One minute. We got a timer that is going on Right And so we don't want to have to cut you off or, you know, maybe sound, you know, hit the drum, kick on me. You know, i don't know. All right, all right, we don't want to do that, we don't. We don't want to do that, all right. So we want you to, we want you to call in, want you to call in right now.

:

Ferg says what if our kids never saw a show of affection? then the marriage would be incomplete. Yes, you know, like I said I explained, i can't remember that I saw my mom and my dad kiss. I just can't remember that. And you know I'm talking about just a good, not I mean a peck, but a good kiss. I didn't see that, you know, i didn't. You know I didn't see them holding hands. I didn't, you know, i didn't see that. And so that's where I asked God, you know. God, show me how to be a good husband, god, show me how to be a good father, because I didn't, i didn't see it. Not saying that my dad wasn't good, all right Cause, i know my dad loved me. I knew, you know, because he was taking care of me and doing all this. I knew that he loved me, you know, in that aspect, but I didn't see the affection Like it's made to say you can tell me that you love me, but I want to see some action, you know, see some actions and stuff like that.

:

And even in seeing some actions, i still want to hear the words, you know, i still want to hear the words I love you. All right, so come on, y'all, come on, call in, call in, call in, and you're 754-222-219. You have one minute, one minute to to say what you want to say. We're looking for you to call in.

You know, that's a good thing when you could chat back and forth and we see it, and so it was good. It was good. Do I have anybody just calling in tonight? All right, we got some. We got a caller. We got a caller coming in. We got Ismatha, ismatha, can you hear me. Can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you. We can hear you. We can hear you How you doing Ismatha.

Speaker 2:

I'm good How y'all doing? Uh-uh, you're not about to take up my 60 seconds now. I'm just playing. I'm doing good. I hope y'all doing all right. Hi, sister Betsy. Hey, ismatha, how are you Good? So mine was more of a statement. The reason why I made that comment, as far as it's important for children to see their parents show affection, is because I didn't see my parents show their parents show affection, any emotion, well, loving emotion. I've never seen them kiss. I've never seen them touch each other, i've never seen them hug. So Samson and I, we make sure well, really, samson, cause he's more than hands on one We make sure that makes him what a healthy marriage looks like. So if we're hugging, if we're kissing, but we don't go overboard to where it's inappropriate, but I think it is important for children to see it in their household, so no one else is teaching them what it should look like Exactly.

:

All right. Well, thank you for that comment, ismita. And then and again, if Harold got something to say, he can call in on his own minute, right?

Speaker 2:

Yep, just in 60 seconds, it's mine.

:

All right, thank you, ismita, for calling.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it's all mine.

:

All right, thank you again for calling Ismita. All right, that was good. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, she's.

:

I don't want to look at that cause. What Ferg said down here is what if our kids never saw us true affection, Then their marriages would be incomplete, because they wouldn't know how to be married.

Patsy:

Whoa.

:

They wouldn't know how to battle the storms, the ups and downs, and even though we go through this, you know we still together you know, We made it, you know, somehow or another. So that is important for them to see that, because that way they know how a woman should be treated and how a man should be treated Right, and they'll know how to play their role in their relationship.

Speaker 6:

Mm-hmm.

:

Without an example, they won't know.

:

You know there's a. I read when, in reading this on the physical display of affection, one person mentioned that some people, some people, physical display of affection is wrong because to some people, to some you would say, majority of women but when a man hits them, it's they showing that they love them. I saw that in the article And they said that's that is the longest public display of affection that it can be. you know, because there are some people that they gotta be physical. you know. oh, he loves me. he just made a mistake. No, he don't love you by hitting on you. No, that is not a good public display of affection. I know nobody here that's watching with us or whatever, but no, that's not a good public display of affection, not at all. All right, so All right. Uh-oh, got another caller, i guess Harold, calling in for his minute now, babe.

Patsy:

All right, Harold, can you hear us? Yes, sir.

:

All right, how are you doing? Are we doing? all right, all right, go ahead You got a minute.

Patsy:

Yeah, all right. Now I was gonna comment on both what Ferg said and what you said. as far as, like not seeing it, i was one of those kids that never saw it, so it's like you know. and then, just like you said earlier, as far as, like you know, we had to set the examples, like to you know. as far as the PDA, as you say what face I'm getting interrupted, mac, you know, give my second. She's honing in on your 66.

:

Hey, hey, hey, do like all, like the let's say reclaim your time.

Patsy:

Yeah, yeah, so yeah, man, like man, hey, my examples came from like seeing, like you know, good people showing PDA. You know what I'm saying. Like I didn't get those examples at home either. You know what I'm saying. So yeah, so yeah, like you said, you know, we have to be the examples out there and show them. You know, showing folks how to build the right way.

:

All right, good. Thank you, harold. Thank you for calling in Much love to your brother.

Patsy:

I'm like he's made to say. You know? I want you to say all right.

Speaker 2:

Later Bye.

:

Harold, yeah, bye bye. Yeah.

:

So, yeah, we have to show that We, we.

:

Absolutely. I totally agree. You don't want them getting stuff from the streets. You know how you'd be like. You know you go to your parents back and they're like. Mom, i want to talk to you about you know, you know doing it.

:

And then she's like you don't need to know about doing it, but she don't want Val to tell me about doing it, cause Val ain't gonna tell me like mom gonna tell me, and Val ain't gonna tell me to keep myself married either. So you want to, you know, show that display of affection And so they'll know. I think.

:

Got another call. We got another call. I'm sorry We got another call. All right, I know For the coffee guy from Riverfest. Good evening YouTube. Good evening. Good evening, Good evening everybody else.

Speaker 6:

Real quick. First of all, I want to commend YouTube for teaching everyone And they are inspired by just what you are doing on this video that you're doing. That's the bad words, but this is inspiring people on how, what type of conversations they need to be having. You know, not just getting up and going to work, but we need to talk on how are we gonna act whenever we go places and how are we gonna support each other. So this, this is real good And you all are inspiring people right away.

:

Thank you.

Speaker 6:

Now let's get to this public display of holding hands and stuff like that.

:

All right, you got 30 seconds, men do love it.

Speaker 6:

Okay, men do love it. Now we don't need as much as women, but we do love it, and actually we got to figure out who, what, each other, each person's love language that you all have spoke about, you know, and most men need that touch. So we don't have to hold hands and walk. We do do it, we don't have to. So I'm with you on that part. And, lastly, i commend every person, male or female, who was not shown that how to love from their parents. But yet they grew up and they said I want to do better, i'm going to do better than what I was taught, and so I commend each one of them for being different.

:

Oh, man All right, you're being better.

Speaker 6:

Thank you They didn't do it on their own, of course, it was Jesus. Yes, glory, glory on my 60 seconds.

:

All right, thank you for thank you. Yeah, i'm going to give a, i'm going to give a clap for all you know, all of us who didn't see it, but we do it now. Yeah, thank you Jesus. Thank you, jesus. Malika here says. She says I had to learn health love from TV and media too. I was watching the Cosby show and such. So you know, she didn't see it as when she was growing up She saw it there.

:

Well, we hope Jordan's giving you a whole bunch of it.

:

Yeah, we hope. Well, jordan, better be doing it. Malika knows she can call you know. And then, well, zz on the way. Oh, jesus, amen, all right, so we're getting ready to go.
