I didn't really realize it because it was just like a compression or whatever. So I had the day when and you know, a hurricane was in the land and they were talking about the pressure was coming down and the hospitals was filling up with people having their baby. So I was like, oh my goodness, I hope that don't happen to me.
Speaker 3:And what happened to? Very next morning when I wake up on the labor. So I go about my day, really soft labor, no, nothing hard. Finally, I tried to lay down and my grandmother was like tell your mom, take you to the hospital. I get to the hospital, I'm so nervous because Nikki no, nat, is breach sitting on Nikki's forehead. Well, nikki has a birthmark on her forehead.
Speaker 3:When that sat so that was coming up it was like, oh my goodness, ma'am, we're gonna have to do emergency C section because one of the things that she's sitting right on the other one's head. Oh my goodness, I was such a nervous wreck. But then, once I woke up, they bought Nikki to me. They told me that was in um Nikki, and I was so happy to see them. And Nikki was just like a big fur ball. She had hair everywhere. And when I finally wheeled me down to see Nat, she had hair everywhere, but she was so tiny and I was so nervous to touch her. That's what happened on the day that everyone I tell them this story every year and every year and I tell them they remind me you didn't tell me the story. So I'm sorry to take up so much time, but I had to get that out there just in case they were listening.

Speaker 2:so surprises, as I'm saying, surprises don't have to come in a form and over the top, surprise party.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 2:I think we learned that even this, you know this barrier marriage, a tree. It doesn't have to be so expensive. You know, surprise we're getting here. We'll talk about the tips, but people often think that they got, I got to go over the top with the surprises. But it does not have to be there. They can be small, simple ways to show your love to your spouse. All right, and so we're. We are, you know, talking about 10 tips. You know, to get your gear turning, to get your mind turning, say, okay, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this. All right, all right. So number one, number, the first tip that we got for you, and this was taken from, you know, preparing and rich, that they do a blog and we like to talk about the things that they do. All right. So you smile. And what's some people saying on there? You know they're saying too much. All right, all right, cool, all right, all right. This is who's that? Ty and missy. A tie, hey, hey, hey, why, right, good, who is dr Love? I want to. You know dr Love. Who's dr Love? A whole fur again on here, because everybody likes to hear the tips from fur man, you know.
Speaker 2:Let's go back to the marriage retreat. Right before we get in that, one of the most impactful Sessions that we have was to deaf do us part referred. You know that was I gotta give a shout out to fur, you know I'll be, I Mean, he had everybody in the crime. I mean I was boo, I mean not boo hoo, but I was just wiping my tears, I was hoping nobody wasn't seeing me, you know, but it really I think it impacted me to say you know what I gotta make sure I had. I need that love box, I need them. You know, although we've talked about it, you know I need to have a love box, a box that you, you know they could reach in and and you can have it and the kids can have. So this is what's happening. This was neat to happen, you know.
Speaker 2:I Tell you a little bit about what I want from my soon. I want the Ely high school band. You know, in there playing that. You know playing that, playing some good music. You know I want the drum line. I want everything. You know I want them a on the drum majors be up there. They got to be eight stepping to babe, let me mess it you tell us, but I need to know how expensive this is.
Speaker 2:I gotta have some money left, though, oh god, you gotta have some money left though the buy or somebody. You're gonna go somewhere. Okay, you know, enjoy that money, enjoy. That's why I put it in there. What what fur said was is look, if I love you enough, I will make sure, if I'm gone, that you're taken care of right. I do not want you, I don't want you and I know I don't want you out there selling t-shirts and doing all this kind of stuff and I go Find me. That's not showing you love. You know, if I say I love you, if I stood in front of God and I stood in front of people and I said to death, do us part, I got to make sure I show you I love you, even here or when I'm gone, right. So I want to make sure that you're taking care of all right. So you know I'm gonna enjoy yourself. You know, enjoy yourself, I mean you remarry.
Speaker 2:No, I don't want you to. Okay, if you remarry I'm gonna haunt you. All right, so, all right. So the number one tip is take care of your spouses unusual, I mean usual chores without asking. Right, you got that. Take care of your spouse, usual chores, without asking. So therefore, we talked about it in true wars. We said in If you remember, true wars is that you know what do like how we would do our kids. We have a. This is your chore, that's your chore, that's your chore.
Speaker 2:And it wouldn't it be nice if your spouse come home and your spouse usually watch the dishes, or you know, or whatever, and you say I got it, babe, no, worry about it, I got it. You know, if your spouse is the one that cook all the time, you know. You say you know what, I got it, yeah, you laughing, I would love to get that. All right, all right, so you know, if your wife is folding the towels, you know, say, hey, you know what I got the folding the towels this time. And you, well, I mean, is that good enough to show that you, you know, your lover, that's a, that's a love language to you know you know, some people love languages giving and some people love language is touching, and it's just basically.
Speaker 3:But I think you can have more than one love language Because, like, if, when, if, when I get my car, if you take my cuz, I'm usually in charge of keeping the cars Clean. So if you take my car and you detail my car and you feel my car, we think I'm like, oh, hmm, maybe did that. I do appreciate the gas thing, it though, yeah, cuz, I'm not gonna do that. But as far as taking them to get detailed and stuff, you know, I guess that's one of my responsibilities and when you do that for him I'd be like, wow, you know, he did, he did my thing, he did my chore without me even asking her, requesting it, and it shows me that you know that, even though I may not be in your presence, that that I'm on your mind.
Speaker 2:Wow, I'm gonna tell you what, what, what got me? I think it was last week. I was in the man cave working and you came home. Then the next thing, I know I see you outside with the trash. You know I used to take out the trash, but I saw you taking out the trash and I was like whoa, you know, that really showed me that you know what. Maybe you thought he was busy or I did whatever, and I took out the. I took out the trash. I was like, wow, okay, I did. Yeah, well, I say I would have took it out. But you know, you say I smelled and so I Took it out. I was like, wow, okay, all right, good, you know, so you showed. That's, that was an action. No, you show, so that you love. So I thank God for that. All right, all right, cool.
Speaker 2:So that's number one. Number one Take care of your spouse's usual chores without asking. So no, no, you know, go the extra mile into that. Number two. Number two I love number two, I love. Number two go along with their movie choice. All right, go along with the movie choice. So that means, fellows, we have, we must take time out and watch lifetime television for women. Right, we got it. We, we got to do it, we have to do it. We have to watch lifetime television for women because I'm a I'm gonna be a witness Once we watch one time. I'm like I'm hooked.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So when the commercial come for the next show, you say, oh babe, the next one's gonna be good, let's watch that again. But in this thing is we got to take time out to watch something that they want to watch too? I wasn't a big John. What is John John?
Speaker 3:Wick fan John Wick, you know, eric, like this. I was like, well, let me, let me go back and watch the first one and then maybe I can relate to the second one. And then, when the third one came, I say, hey, babe, we need to go see. Yeah you know, sometimes we have to make. You know, I want to have sacrifice, but sometimes we have to make a compromise.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what a benefit you know.
Speaker 3:I'm telling you in that extra love, because then he'll be like I, even watched football.
Speaker 2:The other day yeah, yeah, you said not and that right there does something. When you was down and you just, you know, you just watch a little football game and you be asking the questions I'd be like, okay, she seemed like she was interested. That that shows me that you're interested in something that I love, you know, and that shows the other partner that you're interested in something that they love when you do something like that. So, when you sit down and you know because Sometimes, though, but when you be trying to go through Netflix and all that stuff, it takes you about 30 minutes to make a choice- Looking for something good Mm-hmm that we both can enjoy right, yeah, and you know what, what I love about it after that, that 35th minute minute, that you make that choice I sit down and I'm like, oh man, you made a good choice.
Speaker 2:You always say yeah, very seldom have we watched the movie that we, both of us look and say, nah, that wasn't it. Or you know, there's been some movies that we turned off in the in the first five minutes, like, oh, now, this ain't moving, this ain't moving us.
Speaker 2:Yeah you know, but you introduced me to some shows and I'd be like, whoa, I got a watch and you'd be like baby, did you see it? I say yeah, yeah, yes. So you know.

Even though you may not feel excited about it, sit down and watch it and you may, hey, you be like I'm telling you, I'm you, I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:Love without regrets.
Speaker 2:Can you imagine thinking about your, say, your partner is gone, but you start remembering the time, just a little thing, these things here. What we give in is some is some tips that you can remember that, man, I really showed my spouse some, so some, love, because I don't want to be what I could have, shoulda. I don't want to be a shoulda, woulda type of person. I want to be a person that you know that, yeah, you know I did things and I showed her.
Speaker 2:I, I, you know how we say that we poured out all, um, I love for God, that when we leave, we want to make sure we leave empty. You know, because we're doing God's work. I want to make sure I leave empty, showing you how much I love you. That's that. So, just spending that quality time. I don't want to regret that when you're gone, that I didn't spend the quality time with you. You know, and that helps that you know, and I can look back and say, man, I, I did all I could do to show my baby some love. You know, that's what, that's what I want to do, all right, all right.

Sometimes, um, sometimes, if you are a planner, if you like to know the every details, sometimes it's very hard to let the other person plan and take care of things because you know, you like to know this, this, this, this, where we going, where it is, what time we doing this, what time we doing that, instead of, like we said on um, the marriage retreat, you know, we just giving that little nuggets. You know, sometimes, you, you, you know, you get dressed in one room, I get dressed in the other room and we, you know, we go on a date. You know.
Speaker 2:And when that happens, and if, if I'm say, baby, I'm taking you out on a date, I need to have where we going. And I know, I like to say, I'll bet what you like to eat, but you know, if I'm going to take care of the logistics, I'm going to take care of the restaurant, I'm going to take care after the restaurant, I'm going to order the drink for you. You know, can you imagine? You know. So that's, that's a good thing, you know. So you, taking care of everything, all the logistics, you know, take it upon yourself to plan a surprise date. That'll be good, you know.
Speaker 2:And a lot of times me and we don't do that, you know, a lot of times we don't, you know, again, we, I like to give you what you want. So I like to ask you, you know, baby, where you want to go and eat, where you want to eat, but I think, and that's when you say, whatever you want to do, you know and we would like going, well, we don't know, we don't know. But again, planning the whole logistics from from the time we leave until the time we come back, I think that's good, that's good, all right. So that's number five plan a date and take care of logistics. How do you feel when I plan? If I plan a date and take care of logistics, you feel good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I feel good. I like when you call me at work and say, hey, we got plans tonight, and I'd be like, well, no, I plan to sleep I'll be, like I'm taking out, I'm taking on a date and like where we going, you'll know when we get there. I hate when you tell me that. But the rest of the day I'm trying to figure out. I don't know where he taking me, but yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, and then you know it's good to like if you have kids. You know, especially like, if you're going out for a weekend, say you're doing it for the weekend, you got pets or kids or whatever. You make all the plans, you know when it comes to what about the kids, what about the dogs and what about the cat? Don't worry about that, I got that. You know that's showing them the love that you know that you really love them. Wow, all right. Number six, number six All right. So let's look at the top five again. Let's look at the top five. All right, not necessarily in this order, but you could be in this order. So number one is take care of your spouses on usual chores without asking. Number two is go along with their movie choice lifetime television for women, all right, all right. Join them in an activity that you usually pass on. Number three, number four surprise them with a midday. Pick me up, all right, little quickie. Well, we won't hurt a lunch, all right, all right. Number five plan a date and take care of all the logistics. That's the top five. All right, we get ready to go.
Speaker 2:Let's look at the. Let's look at who's online here. All right, we got you All right. All right, all right. So we say, um, I'll end this. I know that's right. I don't know what she was talking about, but I know she was. She was talking about it and, um, yeah, all right. So we thank God, we got 14 people online. Man, that's good. Hey, how y'all doing. Just, you know, tell us what you were watching from. That'd be great. Just tell us where you're watching from, all right, so all right. Number six, number six. All right, number six, number six give them something they mentioned in passing. Give them something they mentioned in passing. So maybe you know, you said, you know I like this shirt. You know, and and you know you just mentioned in passing, you get to go back to the store, right, when they out of the, go back and buy the shirt and then, when they come home, have it laid out on the bed.
Speaker 3:Oh, that'd be so sweet. And it'd be like oh no, babe, you got this shirt.
Speaker 2:I can't believe you did this.
Speaker 3:I thought you said I couldn't have. It'd be nice to have that bag. That handbag.
Speaker 2:Huh, okay, I know it will be All right. It was so nice, it was yeah that handbag was nice, all right, all right, all right. So you got to exercise, All right.
Speaker 2:So you exercise your attention to detail, you know, you listen, keep listening for your spouse to make. You know, make something, that, something that they wanted, a gift, you know whatever. And again, it may not be expensive like a big on handbag from you know what, a microcores or whatever, but it may be something little, maybe a little candy, maybe something like that, and they just, you know, you just surprise them, you know with it when they, you know when they come home. But you got to be attention, you got to be, you got to pay attention to your wife.
Speaker 3:And to your husband. And that all goes back to our statement on when we talked about active listening. Mm-hmm if you can have in a conversation and they mention it and, you know, start picking up little Nuggets. You know I say, okay, you know I think you might like this and V go watch. Yeah, I heard. So you know, and I mean it goes hand in hand. If you're listening, then you know how to surprise.
Speaker 2:Right, right, right. Yeah, it's something little, you know. Maybe maybe I'm talking to somebody, maybe it's you, maybe you, maybe you don't like the jeans that somebody's wear. You're right, go and get some more jeans and get them baggy. Maybe it's that holy shirt, you know, just get a shirt, get a t-shirt, you know. Oh, you know. So, you know, just just, hey, you know, and they'd be like this is what I like to see you in. You know, I'm pretty touching the details. All right, all right, all right, all right. So that's number six gift them something they mentioned in passing. All right, number seven get their car detailed and fill the tank with gas. All right, get their car detailed and feel the tank we gas. You know I try to do that, you know you take, get a detail every now and then. But you know one thing I don't like you feel like they're feeling the car with gas.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, I don't, I don't like that. I don't. You know, I want gas to get on your hands. I want you to smell like gas. I want you smell like that cologne that you smell again right now. I mean what you perfume. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, all right, that's bad on my bad boy.
Speaker 3:Sometimes, when I want to be close to you, I free a little bit of your cologne on my wrist.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh man, now that's sexy, that's sexy. Oh man, that's sexy. Wow, whoo. Yeah, that's good, that's good. And sometimes you wear my clothes too. Yeah but you know that's good too, hey.
Speaker 3:Not all the time, y'all.
Speaker 2:That's what I said. Sometimes, when you want to be close to, me or something like that when you want to be close to me, yeah but I do like it blue suit.
Speaker 2:Which blue suit? Oh no, oh Boy, they're wearing my blue suit. Okay, all right, so get the car detailed and feel the tank we gas. Well, I would say, feel you know you. I would say, you know, I try to me personally, I try not to have my wife out there feeling the tank we gas, you know. I think that you know just me, that's just me talking and it's not anybody else, is not a man rule, it's not whatever. But you know, I try to you know, try to have a gas tank, feel you know, try to do you know my, my duty as my, I think, as a husband, that I get that now. Car detail, because we agree Over 30 years ago about who do what.
Speaker 2:You know, and so you know. It's like as we was talking about when Chores. You know, when you go grocery shopping, I'd be like whoa, wow. You say, baby, I got it. Oh man, you know, because I know how hard pressed that grocery shopping is. You get into, you get in a ball of sweats at the grocery store. You can't find nothing. You know be calling me. So my, where was this? Where's that? I?
Speaker 3:Get anxiety in the grocery store. I'd be like they keep moving stuff around. I I can't process that. Every time I go with something it's in a different spot, just like the other day when I went about like well, why do they move the cereal over here? This used to be the bread out. What's going on? So yeah, so when I do go to this grocery store, trust me, I'm just going because I want to alleviate you from doing that particular task at that particular time, because you have so much on your plate. Wow, I thank God for you. You know that's love.
Speaker 2:That's love. That's love. All right, all right. Number eight, number eight. Be a number eight. Write them a sweet note and hide it somewhere.
Speaker 3:They'll find it later, that's good but like what if they don't find it?
Speaker 2:Well, you, you put it in, you know put it in a nice stand. You put it in a place that you know they going to.
Speaker 3:Buy my toothbrush.
Speaker 2:You buy your toothbrush in your jewelry box next to your perfume, right, maybe you know In your purse. But you know in your purse is hard because you change your purse all the time. You know, and something, if I want to put it in a lunchbox Sometimes you take a lunchbox, sometimes you don't. You know, sometimes you drive your car, sometimes you drive, you know the black car, you know, so I have to. I guess I have to write two notes just in case. Well, like, send them an email, you know, right, you know there's certain things that you just you know. Send them a text Along. You know a good text I love you. You know text, or whatever, like that. Um, you know send them a gift, you know send them. Send them something that just is out of the clear blue. Is, you know you sending them something? You're hiding my sweet note telling them how much you love me, and you know that's a good thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's a good thing, right? So you know, take a love note, put it in the jacket, you know, when they least expect it right. That's when you do it, because if you keep doing it all the time, all the time, they're gonna expect it. And then, when you don't do it, you'd be like, hey, I didn't get my love note today. Yeah you know. So do it when they least expected out of the clear blue.
Speaker 3:You know, he's spontaneous. Yeah just be like you know what I'm gonna put this ticket. No honor for you. I love you boy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's, that's good. Right, I gotta give you a clap on that. I like that. All right, number nine, number nine, we brazen, we brazen through. Take the kids for a chunk of time so your spouse can enjoy some long time. Wow, yeah, we got kids. Yeah, say, okay, baby, I got the kid today. You know, I got the child today. I got, I got whatever today.
Speaker 2:You know, you see, you some, you know you need some alone time, you know. And if you don't have kids, you still can say, hey, babe, don't worry about anything today, I just want you to have some alone time. You know, sometimes we just have to say you know what? There's a hotel I want you just go and stay in the hotel, enjoy it. You can order whatever you want to order. I got it. I just want you need to have some alone time, you know.
Speaker 2:So, you know, decompress yourself, you know, because you know life, life be lifeing, you know life be lifeing. And Something you know, what I have is sometimes I have a problem with women. Right, and this is the problem that I have with women is that they don't take care of themselves, because they love to take care everybody else, to be the mother. You know, they Mother the children, they be the husbands help me, and sometimes they don't take care of themselves. And you, as you know, and man, when that body is ready to break down, it's gonna break down and I don't want your body to break down on me. You know, something that could be avoidable.
Speaker 2:So gotta relieve the stress, relieve, you know, the pressures of life. So just go be on the beach, be wherever, I'm gonna pay for it, I'm gonna do it, I just would be. You know, go get a massage, do whatever. Go and get your nails done, do whatever and just enjoy yourself. If it's shopping, here's the credit card. All right, man, all right fellas. Sometimes we have to give up the credit card just for them to just go in and have some what me time. But we got to put a limit on it. Now, you know, put a limit, say hey, don't spend this much money. You know, don't spend over this much money. You know, if you're gonna spend over there, you got to give me a call.
Speaker 3:Like hey, this is the limit.
Speaker 2:It's the limit.
Speaker 2:Just give, give that up up front, right, right right, right, right right, okay, all right, so, yeah, so you know. So you know, everybody needs some, needs some alone time, some me time. That's a decompress, that's decompress. All right, all right. Number 10 number 10 we browsing through number 10 give them a from the heart compliment out of the blue. Wow. Give them an up to out, a from the heart commitment. You know, catch your spouse completely off guard with some words of appreciation, or just tell them how much you love them. Wow, you know.
Speaker 3:I try to do that.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, okay, give myself.
Speaker 3:Good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, tell them how beautiful they are. You know, tell them how handsome they are. You tell me that, you tell me that and I'll be like, yeah, right, you know. But you tell me that you know and I thank God that you, you know. You know, you not that you're supposed to, you don't have to, but, like you say, it shows you, you shows them love.
Speaker 2:Because again, when you, you, you're around somebody 365 days, you know, or whatever, how many times, and you just life, be life. You got kids, you got bills, you got all of this stuff, and sometimes you don't hear compliments, you know, and what better person to get compliments from is from your spouse, absolutely, you know, because if you don't give them compliments, they're gonna be somebody out there whispering in their ears. Because that's how the enemy does, since people that say you know you're a beautiful girl, you're beautiful. You know you're a handsome man, you know, if it was me I wouldn't have you doing this and I wouldn't do that. I treat, you know how it is. They, you like the woman you are, just slide up in your DMs. You know, we had a good friend of ours who used to be here, evie. She posted, she said uh, look, you know I don't usually say this, but all these married men need to stop the DM in me, you know. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2:And so that's what happened is, people start sliding up in your DMs and if you, if you don't have a spouse to encourage you, if you don't have a spouse to say that you're beautiful, if you don't have a Spouse saying that, you know, I didn't think the world of you, somebody else gonna get that, and if you don't watch it, all you got to do is crack open the door, just a little crack, just a little crack, and the enemy will walk right in there, and we don't want that for the marriage. Oh man, they're spreading the door wide open, yeah, you know. And so, yeah, we want to be able to tell our spouse, you know, that you're beautiful. We want to tell the spouse that you're lovely. I thank you for doing. You know, I appreciate you. You know you smell good, you look good.
Speaker 3:I was done with you. Cut that out, and you know, that's two, you know. And the same way, you know we need to tell our men how handsome they are and how much we just really honor them being who they are providing emotional, you know, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual support. You know, you know, you gotta, you know, lift that man up, and that's you know. And when you lift him up, you're gonna have some problems because other women will like to see me in this. Then you can. Another woman can tell when a person is taking care of her spouse because, guess what, she want them. I do all you got to do to keep them focused on you and keep lifting him up and encouraging him as well. Wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Girl told me that I was in my college. I was in English class at college and she was like you know, it's nothing more sexy to me than a married man that's being held up by his woman.
Speaker 2:Oh, married man. What you?
Speaker 3:trying to say she says the most sexiest thing to her and she said they were the. These are men in the church. Oh she fine, I was like whoa. I was like girl, you've been running to some serious trouble.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you there's gonna be some people in the church throwing some hands you know, so you know, let's, let's lift up our kings, mhmm, deserve it.
Speaker 2:All right, yeah, so I'm going to ask the question tonight. You know what small ways do you surprise each other to show love. You know appreciation. Come on, let us know in the comments, let us know in the chat. You know what small ways do you surprise each other to show love and appreciation. You may be going to open up the lines in a few minutes and we're going to see.
Speaker 2:Maybe somebody want to call in and say, hey, this is how now, when you call in, we give him one minute. We're going back to what is he said, you know. You know we have maybe got 15 minutes. So this has been a short one, but this has been a good one. This has been real good. So we want to give each other about a minute, minute and a half, to just express yourself of. You know of doing that. So we're going to open the lines up right, quick, and you know, so you can call in. The number to call in is 755-222-2219-755-754,. I'm sorry, 754-222-2219. Make sure I put that on the screen so everybody can have it, because I'm messing up. 754-222-2219. You could call in and we are here to, you know. Take your calls again, 754-222-2219. Just, we want to just have some more ideas. I see what Cubs put out there.
Speaker 3:She said she share her chocolate.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 3:That's some serious stuff. She love her chocolate.
Speaker 2:Oh no, she love her chocolate.
Speaker 3:I didn't know that she love her chocolate, so she share it. That's special.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that. I didn't know she love the chocolate like that. I didn't know that. What is it for her? She better tuck that ear away. I don't know what I mean. I don't know what.
Speaker 3:She better keep her ears away from others.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:She better tuck it away.
Speaker 2:She better keep it in ear because, look, I'm telling you, man, you know, we really must recognize the enemy. We really got to recognize the enemy. The enemy will come in when your marriage is going good and everything like that, you know loving, and seems like everything going alright. He don't like for your marriage to go, you know right. He will come in in the slickest way, you know. And we have to recognize the enemy for who he is. We really.
Speaker 2:He's a liar, he's a deceiver. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. And so a lot of times when we hear that he comes to steal, kill and destroy, we don't even think about it. That's, this is affecting our marriage, because he comes to destroy our marriage. He comes to steal the very virtue out of your marriage, to steal the you know, the, the trust that you have out of your marriage, to steal the joy out of your marriage, to steal the love, the peace to all. He wanted to come and steal all of that out of your marriage and he wants to destroy your marriage. But we have to be in. We have to be, especially as Christians. We have to be to the point where we refuse to let the enemy steal, kill and destroy our marriage. Alright, that's a good one. Right there, I just preached a sermon.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you did. I agree with you because you know what, and sometimes it don't take a lot from the enemy. If you don't have a good foundation, if you have respect for each other and if you're not willing to fight for your marriage, all the devil has to do is drop a pebble in it and you and your significant other just roll with it and you help him tear you apart.
Speaker 3:So, having a strong foundation and trusting in each other and respect for each other. You know you can fight that. I remember I was just recently telling someone about I can't remember who it was I was talking to, but I was telling them. I say, you know, when we had this one segment that we talked about, you know communication and whatnot with marriages, but you can't get in the box and ring and fight the enemy by yourself. You need a tag partner and that tag partner is your significant other. So when you tie the down, when you get one out on down on your knees and praying and fasting and seeking God face, when you need a time out, you tag that person. They get in and pick up where you left off. The enemy can't handle you. Then he can't handle you because he know you're putting God first, no matter what your marriage has to be worth the fight.
Speaker 2:Right, right right.
Speaker 3:You have to fight it together.
Speaker 2:You're so right. You're so right, all right, all right. So we got it. Sparkly, sparkly, sparkly said something, what sparkly say. Oh my God, put on your glasses, baby, put on your glasses, put your glasses on.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'll say she said the way, and take something to the front door before she could see it, before she. Oh, that's a good idea, that's a good idea. That's a great idea because then that's a good idea. You see it, because you got to go out the door.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got to go out the door, so that's, that is a great idea. You know, tape it on their door.
Speaker 3:No, because you got to see it and even if you're, even if you say, come on, y'all let's go, we running late when you get to that door right there, as long as it's at eye level, because you know I'm not at all so if it's up to my walk, but that's a good idea. Thank you, easy.
Speaker 2:Yes, what? Oh, is it a good word.
Speaker 3:I'm just, you know, I just get so, I get so compact, I guess, have so much compassion when it comes down to you know the enemy, I can't have it. I ask the question you know, what was it that made you fall in love? What? What made, what was it that made you say this one is the person that I want to be with when times get hard. Go back to that it, go back to that and fight for that it, whatever it is.
Speaker 2:I got to get it, you know, because you know it's dropping.
Speaker 2:You're dropping nuggets but you are dropping nuggets tonight when it comes down to be the God. I mean, I'm telling you because you know we often, we often talk about, especially in the church world. You know we talking about, you know how you feel drained sometimes spiritually, and we say that you need to go back to your first love. You know, even even in Revelation, when, when we was talking about the churches, you say you know, you know, you know went away from your first love. That's what it says. And so what? Even in marriages, you have to go back to that it, that it, if it was, if it was on the beach or if it was at the restaurant or if it was at church and you saw them and they just smile. You have to go back to that it, man, because, look, life has a, you know, again, life has a, has a tendency to throw curveballs and life be life, it's just like it's happening and it could drain you, and sometimes you just get in a rut.
Speaker 2:you know, sometimes you just keep doing the same thing over, you get in mundane, you know. Just, it just happened, you know, and so you have to just have that spontaneity, that sponsors, you know, just do some things, like we said tonight. Just show some chocolate, you know, show up, you know. You know, if it's cold, show up in a long trench coat, you know, I mean, you got to do something, crazy man.
Speaker 3:You know, in other words, everything that you do, the little in the small is all in the fight. Somebody asked you have to be married to be up in here. Miss Mika, 82.
Speaker 2:Mika, mika, how you doing girl?
Speaker 2:No, we know we just give you some things to prepare you. So when you get married, man, I'm telling you, you know, you, you, you, you step above Because, to be honest with you, you know, 30 years ago or whatever, nobody didn't give you no, really no premarital counseling, nobody didn't ask the hard question. You just got married and you really had to learn, learn it, and nobody I mean, you think about it nobody had like spiritual, like couple mentorship, couples therapy. You know couples group, you know marriage ministry. I don't remember growing up in the church where they had marriage ministry, and I'm 57 and I didn't. They didn't have it. And so you want to be able man to, to to, you know, to enjoy that time together.
Speaker 2:All right, all right. So she say it's good, all right, all right. You tell, you, tell the girls and AJ, how are they doing and we love to see them. All right, all right. So, hey, is it? Are there any more thoughts? Are there any more? All right, mika, I ain't gonna read that, I'm not going to even read that. All right, all right. So, hey, is there any other way? You know, okay, all right, all right, all right, all right, ferg got on there. Hey, ferg, they be, they be talking about you be throwing them nuggets, all right, all right. So, matter of fact, for just call on in, call in, ferg, and I give you some more, I give, we want to give you a minute, we give you some time to talk.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 2:All right, for example, plus we tell others to forgive or hang in there. Things would get better, but we don't use our own advice. How you're going to get in, get to 10 years when you give up at three?
Speaker 3:Absolutely, absolutely. And I think there's a lot of people say, well, if you get through the first year, you're good, and then we've got through the first year. When you get through the third year, you good. And then it came when you get through the fifth year, is good. Well, let's hit us back up in 10 years. I was like you know, we can't come. These people they just telling us to just go do whatever. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's like you know what? Hang in there, find your end, fight for it to the end. Yeah, yeah, fight for it.
Speaker 2:Fight for it to the end, to the end. Yeah, fight for it to the end, all right. Well, anybody else? I mean, I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking for some tips. Now, we gave some tips to keep that. What is it? I would say keep the fire.
Speaker 3:Keep that fire burning Keep that fire burning, man.
Speaker 2:You have to keep that, because if you don't keep that fire burning, the fire will flame out.
Speaker 3:No matter what, right on the over there.
Speaker 2:And light it up and yeah and fan, oh, that's it.
Speaker 3:And fan the fire. You know that's all they need. So, just, you know, surprise one another. You know, like we said, it doesn't have to be anything big, it could be something simple, something small. I mean, you know, really simple, because I can be standing in the kitchen doing something. If Eric come and hug me from the back, I'm like, oh, because my love language is touch.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, yeah, it is touch.
Speaker 3:So that does something to me. So you know, I mean, it reminds me that I'm on his mind and just passing by me, he just said he wanted to stop and say you know, hey, babe. Hey, babe you know I like that. And so just a little small, simple things, and you'll be surprised at how the small things weigh so much more than just the big things.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Because, it's like you know, you took that time to think about me for a moment.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, you took the time to say I'll see you, my girl. They're like when I'm in the room watching TV because you know this is our season, oh yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is our season where Eric's in the living room watching football and I'm in the living room watching Lifetime L&M. But when you open it, doing you check, and you'll be like, hey, you all right. I'll be like, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1:I'm like.
Speaker 2:All right you know.
Speaker 3:So it's the little things that count. Trust me, it makes a real difference both ways. You know husband and wife. It makes a really difference. So focus on you know. This week, do something surprising for your significant.
