Hello Readers, My sincere apologies for the delayed wrap up on this blog series. Sincerely I have no justifiable reason for not posting this blog much earlier. Although I do enjoy blogging and making videos, my consistency with my content making honestly sucks (I'm real with myself).  Nonetheless, I wanted to still finish off this series because it was beneficial to me. I had the privilege to interview an amazing speaker name Jonathan Jones. It was refreshing hearing a man's perspective on tools to use to equip yourself for marriage. Jonathan regularly speaks at speaking engagements, has a podcast and also him and his wife have an instagram account together. To sign up for a speaking engagement and to check out his Beyond the Ball podcast at: linktr.ee/jonathanjonesspeaks.

Episode 3, Part 1: "What I wish I knew Before I Got Married"

Hey Readers, Welcome back to Life, Faith &Love! This week I got the opportunity to interview a lovely woman named Simi. She has been married to her husband for 5 years now, (August will make it 6 years actually) and they have two little girls together. Simi spent majority of her life in the USA, but her husband majority of his in Nigeria. Although Simi had a lot of traditional Nigerian views, she still had more modern views than her husband and they had to figure out a way to meet half way. This is Simi's Story: "Before I got married, I was excited about having kids. I told my husband when we were dating, that as soon as we get married, I want kids right away. He's a bit more practical than I am and encouraged us to be financially ready first, but it all worked out. We've been married for 5 years now and with two little girls. I love being a mom, especially at a younger age, having them at an age I can keep up with them has been good. I thought I wa...

+ Hey T-Gang, Welcome to week 2 of "What I Wish I Knew Before I Got Married".  Episode 2 is going to be in two parts, because I didn't want the content to be too long! I got the lovely opportunity to interview Mrs. Augusta Sternberg. I did a virtual interview with her due to Uncle Rona! But here's a little info on Augusta. She is a 27 year old wife, retired veteran, and a stay at home mom. She stated that her life went from one extreme to another extreme. Regardless of it all, she's happy to be alive. Point 1: Do NOT IDOLIZE Marriage Augusta shared how at a young age she kind of knew how her husband was going to look like. She had her word from God. The bad thing is that she idolized that word and started to idolize marriage. She believes God gave her that word to guide her and to help her not settle for what wasn't His will for her life, but she started idolizing marriage instead. That is point number 1 I can give y'all, do NOT idolize marriage. ...

Heyyy y'all!!! Welcome back to Life, Faith &Love! I am bringing a new series to you guys titled, "What I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Got Married." I'll be real with you guys, it was a bit of a struggle finding people who were willing to open up about their marriages or their personnel experiences in regards to relationships. It's a sensitive topic for some, but I believe relationships, especially marriage will either catapult you towards your purpose/destiny or may keep you stagnant and you never fulfill your purpose. This is why it's important we talk about this topic and share wisdom, so we are prepared if that season presents itself! I interviewed an amazing life coach/relationship coach name Vivian. She helps women heal and recover from bad relationships/breakups/divorce. She aids woman cultivate healthy relationships by encouraging them to have a healthy relationship with themselves first. Find her on instagram @VibewithViv and check out her webs...
