Thank you guys stopping by! There are so many more things I believe should be done before marriage as you wait and prepare. If you all woulda part two with MORE tips and details please comment! As always questions are welcome!
Agreed. We get so caught up in what's not that we forget God wants us to be content in every season of life and take advantage of every moment, because once married, you can never get that single hood back. Marriage is such an holy and sacred commitment. I remember God speaking these words to me during my single season, " Striving to be 100% in me and your spouse doing the same will set you up for greater success, than 50/50".
I've come to realise that the road to marriage isn't a race. As a young woman it is important to be sure of yourself first. Know your strengths and weaknesses . And most importantly to align yourself in the purpose that God has set for you here on earth because God will never lead you astray !! 🧡 | God bless you Steph for this beautiful message ✨🙏🏾
You will constantly reflect and improve. For me, it was about discovering who I am in Christ and developing a strong foundation in Him in a way you can't necessarily do when it's no longer just you and you're distracted by meeting everyone else's needs.
I’m single and definitely pursuing a closer relationship with God while I’m waiting to be found by my husband. I really want God to be my priority in my single season so that I can give Him His rightful place in my marriage.
I loved the part where you said we should become good stewards of God’s gifts to us!! So beautiful and so humble!! God truly had to humble me…being grateful made me start being a much better steward of what I have. And I honestly realized that I have so, so, sooooo much. Also, I am single and strengthening my relationship with God during this season
I loved the cooking tip! The true test is when the one of ya'll is sick so if marriage is something that's on your heart..might as well work on those skills. In black culture it's kind of frowned down upon to be a woman who "doesn't cook or likes to cook" so it can feel like a "pressure" to know how to cook well, which is intimidating for many. I loved how you posed it as it just makes things easier to know how to do these things. It's def not a make or break but can add to your household when you take steps like this to prepare :)
Omg yes it is so frowned upon in black culture. For a long time before I got married I was afraid to admit that I wasn't the best at cooking. But after a while I was like you know what we need to tackle this thing. AND Jesus and youtube will teach me OKURRRR lol.
I am dating and working to strengthen my relationship with Christ. I definitely need to be working on my homemaking skills. I'd love to watch videos about that if you ever were interested in making videos about your home making process.
Good prospective. A lot of men and women don't understand that in order to be able to navigate marriage you have to be able to navigate yourself as a single person the right way starting with God. The mindset has to be in place long before you say I do.
How could one person dislike this video or any of your TH-cam videos 😩 enemy of progress... lol Loving the marriage/relationship series ! Can’t wait for part two 😊
😂😂😂 I know right! Thats okay, when the enemy is upset you know you've done something right! We thank God and give him glory! We will continue to learn and grow!
I love the point about being a home maker. As a christian woman, I understand that serving others is what we are called to. It's a practice of the world to want to be the one being served all the time. The Proverbs 31 woman served at home and in business. Bring brilliance and humility in every space you enter even simple things like doing the dishes.
1. I really struggling on the part of having a deep relationship with God, I have been working on it but I don’t feel like am really where am aiming at. 2.Homemaker… am working on it and I feel am already there just need to polish up some few areas but am happy about my achievements so far 3.Chasing my dreams…. I really need God’s help in knowing what should I really chase because I have been planning a lot of things and just planning but am still not satisfied with any of them One thing is sure I am in the process
You inspire me alot I must say. God bless you for always speaking about the necessary things. I'm 20 years old, and I've never been in a relationship because my Mom thinks I'm not old enough. I want a relationship that would lead to marriage. Could you please make a video on the right time to be in a relationship.
Aww I love this so much! I was such a hot mess when I was 20. I am so thankful to hear that you are remaining obedient to your mother and honoring her by not going on an dating after she's advised you not to! Keep following the Lord and let him determine the right time!
Why dont you and your mom pray together about this? Let your mom know how you feel and just pray and give God thanks that He will send you a man who loves God with all of his heart mind and soul, and you both can serve God together in Jesus Name
Agreed! Having a stable and consistent relationship with God first helps us love others properly. Developing my relationship with God is my priority. @11:03!!!!!!! It is important to be solid in yourself before you combine your life with anyone else.
Single and working on my personal relationship with God. Hallelujah. Recently found out that even though I love homemaking, I need outside help to get some stuff done. Also that it's ok to ask for help instead of struggling all alone. Also currently working on chasing my dreams-rekindled my passion for travel.
Stephanie this video was awesome and you look stunning! I liked what you said about being a steward over the home. I currently live with my mom and she always stresses to me the importance of doing chores, cooking and cleaning. At times it is really annoying but there is a principle and bigger picture behind it all. To add on to what you said I also think it is very important to be more present in your season of singleness. Spend lots of time with family and friends and really love on the people around you. I think sometimes we get so caught up in chasing the NEXT that we forget how important the NOW is.
Hi Jane! Girl you are so right. Now that I am married I miss my mom and siblings SO SO SO much! Definitely have to cherish all the moments you have because things really change once marriage happens.
I love these points! I am engaged to be married and this reminds me of what I should be spending my time doing up to that point. I often get discouraged by the way women carry themselves in society today. I have been looking for some godly encouragement to be a wife. My favorite point was to be sensitive to the holy spirit and make your home attractive to the holy spirt. :)
Wow! My dear sister, I am proud of you! This is what so many single sisters are lacking - a relationship with God. So, when they get married, and the testing starts - they fail! Because they don't know how to talk with the Holy Spirit.
Both of us got hurt in our past relationships and I suggested that we went to counseling because we both haven’t recovered from the trauma that he went through. So he said yes. So it’s a start.
God has to have HIS rightful place in our lives first as individuals because we need to know him on a personal level and so if I don't give God that place in my heart how will I be able to do it after marriage?
I never comment on TH-cam videos, but this time. I just want to tell you that I have been totally encouraged by those 3 tips especially for the second one becoming a homemaker! From Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤️
This is so me I also never comment on Videos but just listening to you just brings peace to my spirit because I know the holy spirit inspired you to motivate us. Thank you so much ps. I love listening to you while cleaning and cooking😂#Homemaker! Congolese🇨🇩depuis Allemagne 🇩🇪
I absolutely loved this video 😍 it makes me so happy to see a gorgeous Christian Queen 👑 very educated and knowledgeable for living in God's ways and spreading the message with good advice. Thanks for posting this gurl 💗
Thank you for this. I just recently started courting and I can testify to the importance of having a prayer life. It keeps you in alignment with God's heart and His timing for God's plan over one's life. Glory to God
I never learned time management growing up Lol! It wasn't till the last 2 or 3 years of my life that I started learning and I'm Still struggling with it. But honestly, cleaning house shouldn't take any more than 2 hours a day. Unless you have 5+kids, that might be different. But if it's just you or you and 2 other adults or something it should be pretty simple. Especially if you're doing all the everyday basics like dishes, trash, or clearing clutter. For every task, it shouldn't take more than 20 mins. I clean my entire stove inside and out in 20. My oven in 15-20. My fridge in 15-20. Dishes should never take more than 10-20 per large load. Also, If you do one or two extra chores every day and you have a system, it will be so much easier to keep up. And stay ahead on house cleaning. Also, try to reward yourself and find something fun to get excited about your day so depression doesn't rule over you to where you can barely get out of bed, much less get and stay motivated to clean. That's been a huge Huge struggle for me. I have to pray a lot about that! But don't take keeping a home so seriously to where you get overwhelmed and spend your entire day doing nothing else but cleaning or you don't do anything at all. Just thought I'd add my input on that hehe😅
I think chasing your dreams is the hardest one for Us because we our young and we’re still learning how to prioritize our goals we are working through this journey together and wanting to build with each other but sometimes our goals and dreams are hard to reach because other things interfering ….
ALL of tips you said resonated with me. When you stated it I said yesss Dada Jesus that’s it 🙌🏾 I think also not comparing your relationship/marriage (by what you see) and being grateful and content is so important...because being ungrateful and discontent can open up so many unnecessary doors/warefare and the enemy comes in straight like a flood 😒🙄 Continue to be blessing, Stephanie 💞💞 Btw: Your soul exudes so much beauty! You are literally BEAUTIFUL!
Let me tell you all something. There is nothing more admirable and powerful than a man telling you how much value you bring into his life. Whether you realise it or not, that's how you can tell how worthy you are, and how all the work you've put into yourself has transformed you, especially spiritually. When my boyfriend told me so in great detail, it proved how eager he wanted me to be by his side. We're discussing marriage now. By God's grace, we will be. It's worth me realising this at 36.
Thank you for these tips. These are raw and honest truth. You don't look down on singleness neither marriage but you revealed the truth around them both. Thank you🙌
I'm newly engaged and I love and appreciate this video so much!! Tip #1 is definitely what i've been working on!! and I resonated with your last tip on chasing my dreams full force!!! it's so imperative to know who we are, know our likes, passions and dislikes prior to entering marriage so that we're not trying to "find ourselves" in marriage.
Stephanie you speak so much sense which to some will be obvious to others, not. If we are not comfortable with ourselves being single we will never be contented in a marriage. We have to be good stewards of our own homes otherwise how can we be stewards of the marital home? May God bless you ministering to other women of God. Stay well, stay blessed.
Good evening I will be 42 on Saturday I am waiting on my husband The examples and truths you gave were excellent I told believe what you said I have a prayer life I love to cook I agree that your home is more than just the cooking and cleaning Everyone should have peace in their home I love that you said you cover your husband at night that’s beautiful God speaks to me currently in dreams too!! Pray for me as I wait for my love to find me I am: A answered prayer His good thang Favor
This was very helpful! I don’t know why hearing this makes me sad, guess I still need healing with being alone. It seems really hard to just focus on myself.
Glad I found your channel felt in my spirit and from others to get ready for my marriage and I’m happy to be domestic (learning things already to be homemaker) the most things I needed was to be intimate with God and follow the rules for a wife under her submission with her husband respecting him and putting God first in my future marriage and I can’t wait for that promise to come. Learn all I can now and exactly been doing my homemaker things at home since being inside glad God is showing me what to do using me to learn things now. Happy for you and keep it up a lovely spirit you have. God speaks to me in dreams too glad I realized he does speak to me through you when you said that I was like he does speak to me too not just in dreams. More blessings and blissful times in tour marriage 😄❤️❤️🥰🔥🙏🏽
I have just come across your video and this is so much help! I loved all of the points you made in this video. I am developing my relationship with God whilst I am single currently. I have also recently realised that I need to be developing my relationship with God and also developing my interest in business so that I can make and save money for marriage which I really hope is very very soon. This was so much help and I will be watching your videos more often. I hope both you and your husband and children are well 😊❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think for me i need to build a strong relationship with God so that am at a place where i can clearly hear him, i can constantly spend time with him this is an area that am absolutely lagging.thank you for this content
Great video!! I loved the point where you said make the home welcoming to the holy sprit. The Lord has been working on me with that now while I am dating. How can I be a better homemaker. How can I instill peace & blessings over my home. Love the learning process.
This is amazing my favourite part was when you said be a praying woman and let the atmosphere of your home be attractive to the Holy Spirit and how God speaks to you through dreams thus you're guided ok what to pray for..God Bless you I've learnt something thank you so much
I loved this. You’re so inspiring. I watched your wedding video and found your channel and just subscribed! I’m currently single and the tip that stuck out most to me was the first one for sure but also the homemaker one. I want to increase the effort I put into maintaining a peaceful atmosphere in my home and a place my future husband would want to live. 🙏🏾
Thanks soo much Stephanie I think more Christians should put out such content on youtube. I want to ask you this question, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE ROLE OF EXTERNAL INFLUENCES IN CHOOSING A SPOUSE. I filmed a video like this days back sharing my thoughts on this .I would love to get your opinion on the topic please if you can. I have been binge watching your channel .I really appreciate your content
Yup, currently working on the relationship with God and prioritizing that above everything! My favorite tip ( I love all of them) is the first one about making your relationship with God the most important thing while we're single. Thank you so much for these tips!
Hey boo! 👋🏾😘🥰❤️ this was such a good video! Such a great reminder of things that you can “perfect” before and even in marriage! There is constant work to be done in all three of these areas even after marriage so I am grateful that you posted this video because it can speak to a woman in any walk of life!
This was EVERYTHING!! Thank you so much for your wisdom! My hubby and I was just talking about the importance of keeping God at the center of your marriage in our last video! Sis, thank you for being obedient!! 🧡🧡🧡
This is definitely a priority for me. Calling me to intentionality. It's not a default setting, but a decision I need to keep making every day. Thank you Stephanie
Woooow.. Am so so grateful for this video!! It has really blessed especially with my relationship with God! Sometimes i struggle with it cause i have been through alot emotionally and mentally but i still strive to love God and be more prayerful. Am dating and am that kind of person who has always wanted to settle down early but that journey wasn't easy but i think God wanted to teach me alot painful lessons before i get there! And now listening to made it so clear what i have to do as a woman of God. Am so glad i know the skills of home making and am working on developing me and my goals!! This will clearly show me how to be ready before i settle. Thank you Stephanie❤
You are so radiant and beautiful. You are soft but have strength! Thanks for this encouraging video and for being an amazing example for the rest of us women! 💗💗
Building intimate relationship with God is my topmost priority right now ❤ thank you so much for this wisdom and knowledge 🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you so helpful content ❤
I am muslim and hopefully will be married soon in sha allah 💗 thank you for this video, you mentioned really Important points!! Relationship with god is so important + living out his qualities through caring and serving for people is so important! To the last point I wanted to add from my point of you that I also really like the concept of going after your dreams together, going through the struggle but building an empire together. I am not even 22 but I cannot wait to be a wife and have kids and a home with my family and working together with my husband and growing not only my money but ours. I got really inspired by your video so thank you again, may god bless you 💗
Thank you Stephanie 💕 I'm currently working on my relationship with God, I'm 22 years old and I really want to take it serious now, so thank you for this❤️
I really love the way you addressed these points. I would say the one thing I am concerned about is keeping God first in my life while married. I know my husband will be a priority in my life but he is not above God. I am currently in a relationship and although we have talked about marriage i don't think that will happening anytime soon lol. I grew up in a typical African home where the females did all the cooking and cleaning so I would like to think i got that part down but now I am currently working on making my home "homey" and peaceful. I am also trying to pick up some DIY skills so I don't have to spend money on certain things all the time.
I definitely understand that! I believe the more you place God as a priority now the easier it will be when you get married. Even if there are times where you feel like you are placing your husband first the holy spirit will nudge and tell you to come back! But I love that you are working on making your space homey! That is such a blessing
So single and looking to God everyday and working on our relationship I’m going to be 30 soon and I have only ever had 3 dates with a guy. Waiting til marriage Definitely a late bloomer in everything just hope I don’t have to wait til I’m 70 lol
Hey Thanks for this video I just got engaged and I planing but stuck 😅 Back story were young but committed to each other and we have a prayer life just leaning how to strengthen our bond
Great job sis! This is one of the most inspiring, practical and powerful tips I have heard. Thank you for being a vessel. All your points resonated with me for sure. The one that hit me hard was homemaking especially the spiritual aspect of it! God bless you, you are a rare gift ❤️. Subscribed!!
Thank you guys stopping by! There are so many more things I believe should be done before marriage as you wait and prepare. If you all woulda part two with MORE tips and details please comment! As always questions are welcome!
I personally would love to hear more from you about that. As I am in a season of preparing.

1. Develop an intimate relationship with God
2. Learn to be a homemaker
3. Chase your dreams
I am single & my relationship with God is my priority.
Love it! It's the most important thing, because the more you practice submitting to God this will set up up for submitting to your husband.
I've come to realise that the road to marriage isn't a race. As a young woman it is important to be sure of yourself first. Know your strengths and weaknesses . And most importantly to align yourself in the purpose that God has set for you here on earth because God will never lead you astray !! 🧡 | God bless you Steph for this beautiful message ✨🙏🏾
I love what you said there, God will NEVER leave you astray! So good !
So true Ariel! Love the message Stephanie
The season of singleness is the season of reflection and improvement 🦋
You will constantly reflect and improve. For me, it was about discovering who I am in Christ and developing a strong foundation in Him in a way you can't necessarily do when it's no longer just you and you're distracted by meeting everyone else's needs.
For sure! Such a great time to abide in Him and know who you are in Him.
If you haven’t developed a prayer life... you in trouble 💯
Big trouble!
Engaged and working on my relationship with God and all areas of my life.
Glory be to God!! Love it!
I’m single and definitely pursuing a closer relationship with God while I’m waiting to be found by my husband. I really want God to be my priority in my single season so that I can give Him His rightful place in my marriage.
Trust me your Godly husband will be so drawn to you when you are washed in the Word!!! We glow with a unique glow when we are washed in the word.
Did you find him?
No, I’m still in the waiting
I strongly believe you have to be as close to the Father as possible before you're married.especially hearing his voice
I'm praying that I'll be blessed with a wonderful husband whom loves God and we treat one another kindly
Me too ❤️ I wish you the best 🙏
Yess
Having a personal relationship with God while you're single goes a long way
Single, yet to be married soon. My relationship with God is my priority now. Thanks for sharing. Just came across this. Very helpful.
I loved the part where you said we should become good stewards of God’s gifts to us!! So beautiful and so humble!! God truly had to humble me…being grateful made me start being a much better steward of what I have. And I honestly realized that I have so, so, sooooo much.

@@StephaniesHammond L O L!
EXACTLY SIS!!!
I'm currently in my single season and I am building my relationship with God.
I haven't heard of homemaker before so glad I watched.
I am dating and working to strengthen my relationship with Christ. I definitely need to be working on my homemaking skills. I'd love to watch videos about that if you ever were interested in making videos about your home making process.
Good prospective. A lot of men and women don't understand that in order to be able to navigate marriage you have to be able to navigate yourself as a single person the right way starting with God. The mindset has to be in place long before you say I do.
I'm currently single and definitely seeking the Lord in this season
I am single and I am working on my relationship with God :)
That is awesome girl!

I want a relationship that would lead to marriage. Could you please make a video on the right time to be in a relationship.
Aww I love this so much! I was such a hot mess when I was 20. I am so thankful to hear that you are remaining obedient to your mother and honoring her by not going on an dating after she's advised you not to! Keep following the Lord and let him determine the right time!
@@StephaniesHammond Thank you so much
Why dont you and your mom pray together about this? Let your mom know how you feel and just pray and give God thanks that He will send you a man who loves God with all of his heart mind and soul, and you both can serve God together in Jesus Name
I’m currently working on my relationship for God and believing him marriage to come in his divine timing. Thanks for sharing this video ❤️
It will come at the right time for sure! When you lest expect it. I know from experience and for so many of my friends

I can see the fruits of my prayers as a single woman in my courtship season.. Now I have been praying alot even now
A good relationship with God is my key priority
Great advice! I’m getting married in 3 weeks and am excited to implement these things (and that I already have started on many of them!)
How are you now?🤍
This video was so needed!! I just got engaged and this was a beautiful reminder
Awesome and congratulation! Praying that your marriage is going great!
Wow! I never thought of homemaking as a form of stewardship. That’s beautiful advice thank you! New subbie

I'm dating and I'm trusting God to have this mature into marriage...
Both of us got hurt in our past relationships and I suggested that we went to counseling because we both haven’t recovered from the trauma that he went through. So he said yes. So it’s a start.
Number 1 priority is developing a personal relationship with God
God has to have HIS rightful place in our lives first as individuals because we need to know him on a personal level and so if I don't give God that place in my heart how will I be able to do it after marriage?
Def been doing all these things. Will I get a husband? I don't know the future, but I know God is capable of it.
This is meat here. You explained this in a way like I haven't heard before.

I am single/dating and I'm putting the Lord first in my life.
When you in singlesness Thats when God molding you and shaping you its like preparation and MOST LOVE OUR ALMIGHTY GOD who sits pn HIGH THRONE
I never learned time management growing up Lol! It wasn't till the last 2 or 3 years of my life that I started learning and I'm Still struggling with it. But honestly, cleaning house shouldn't take any more than 2 hours a day. Unless you have 5+kids, that might be different. But if it's just you or you and 2 other adults or something it should be pretty simple.
Especially if you're doing all the everyday basics like dishes, trash, or clearing clutter. For every task, it shouldn't take more than 20 mins. I clean my entire stove inside and out in 20.

But don't take keeping a home so seriously to where you get overwhelmed and spend your entire day doing nothing else but cleaning or you don't do anything at all. Just thought I'd add my input on that hehe😅
God bless you. This is what you were called for. Thank you beautiful lady.
That means a lot! Thank you so much!
I think chasing your dreams is the hardest one for Us because we our young and we’re still learning how to prioritize our goals we are working through this journey together and wanting to build with each other but sometimes our goals and dreams are hard to reach because other things interfering ….

Btw: Your soul exudes so much beauty! You are literally BEAUTIFUL!
Let me tell you all something. There is nothing more admirable and powerful than a man telling you how much value you bring into his life. Whether you realise it or not, that's how you can tell how worthy you are, and how all the work you've put into yourself has transformed you, especially spiritually. When my boyfriend told me so in great detail, it proved how eager he wanted me to be by his side. We're discussing marriage now. By God's grace, we will be. It's worth me realising this at 36.
Thank you for reminding us about god and prayer♥️ in this fast paced life it is easy to forget about prioritizing god♥️♥️
Thank you for these tips. These are raw and honest truth. You don't look down on singleness neither marriage but you revealed the truth around them both. Thank you🙌
I'm newly engaged and I love and appreciate this video so much!! Tip #1 is definitely what i've been working on!! and I resonated with your last tip on chasing my dreams full force!!! it's so imperative to know who we are, know our likes, passions and dislikes prior to entering marriage so that we're not trying to "find ourselves" in marriage.
Stephanie you speak so much sense which to some will be obvious to others, not. If we are not comfortable with ourselves being single we will never be contented in a marriage. We have to be good stewards of our own homes otherwise how can we be stewards of the marital home? May God bless you ministering to other women of God. Stay well, stay blessed.
This is so true!! Thank you so much for adding this on! God bless you too and thank you for watching!

Pray for me as I wait for my love to find me
I am:
A answered prayer
His good thang

This was very helpful! I don’t know why hearing this makes me sad, guess I still need healing with being alone. It seems really hard to just focus on myself.
Glad I found your channel felt in my spirit and from others to get ready for my marriage and I’m happy to be domestic (learning things already to be homemaker) the most things I needed was to be intimate with God and follow the rules for a wife under her submission with her husband respecting him and putting God first in my future marriage and I can’t wait for that promise to come. Learn all I can now and exactly been doing my homemaker things at home since being inside glad God is showing me what to do using me to learn things now. Happy for you and keep it up a lovely spirit you have. God speaks to me in dreams too glad I realized he does speak to me through you when you said that I was like he does speak to me too not just in dreams. More blessings and blissful times in tour marriage 😄❤️❤️🥰🔥🙏🏽
I have just come across your video and this is so much help! I loved all of the points you made in this video. I am developing my relationship with God whilst I am single currently. I have also recently realised that I need to be developing my relationship with God and also developing my interest in business so that I can make and save money for marriage which I really hope is very
very soon. This was so much help and I will be watching your videos more often. I hope both you and your husband and children are well 😊❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your wonderful wisdom!! I wish that the church would do a better job telling people what to expect before marriage.
I think for me i need to build a strong relationship with God so that am at a place where i can clearly hear him, i can constantly spend time with him this is an area that am absolutely lagging.thank you for this content
Great video!! I loved the point where you said make the home welcoming to the holy sprit. The Lord has been working on me with that now while I am dating. How can I be a better homemaker. How can I instill peace & blessings over my home. Love the learning process.
Thanks for watching Chelsea!
This is amazing my favourite part was when you said be a praying woman and let the atmosphere of your home be attractive to the Holy Spirit and how God speaks to you through dreams thus you're guided ok what to pray for..God Bless you I've learnt something thank you so much
I loved this. You’re so inspiring. I watched your wedding video and found your channel and just subscribed! I’m currently single and the tip that stuck out most to me was the first one for sure but also the homemaker one. I want to increase the effort I put into maintaining a peaceful atmosphere in my home and a place my future husband would want to live. 🙏🏾
Thanks soo much Stephanie I think more Christians should put out such content on youtube. I want to ask you this question, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE ROLE OF EXTERNAL INFLUENCES IN CHOOSING A SPOUSE. I filmed a video like this days back sharing my thoughts on this .I would love to get your opinion on the topic please if you can. I have been binge watching your channel .I really appreciate your content
The point about chasing your dreams is key. Thank you for this!
Yup, currently working on the relationship with God and prioritizing that above everything! My favorite tip ( I love all of them) is the first one about making your relationship with God the most important thing while we're single. Thank you so much for these tips!
Hey boo! 👋🏾😘🥰❤️ this was such a good video! Such a great reminder of things that you can “perfect” before and even in marriage! There is constant work to be done in all three of these areas even after marriage so I am grateful that you posted this video because it can speak to a woman in any walk of life!
So true! There is constant work to be done! It never stops. We keep learning, adapting and growing!
This was EVERYTHING!! Thank you so much for your wisdom! My hubby and I was just talking about the importance of keeping God at the center of your marriage in our last video! Sis, thank you for being obedient!! 🧡🧡🧡
This is definitely a priority for me. Calling me to intentionality. It's not a default setting, but a decision I need to keep making every day.
Thank you Stephanie
Woooow.. Am so so grateful for this video!! It has really blessed especially with my relationship with God! Sometimes i struggle with it cause i have been through alot emotionally and mentally but i still strive to love God and be more prayerful. Am dating and am that kind of person who has always wanted to settle down early but that journey wasn't easy but i think God wanted to teach me alot painful lessons before i get there! And now listening to made it so clear what i have to do as a woman of God. Am so glad i know the skills of home making and am working on developing me and my goals!! This will clearly show me how to be ready before i settle. Thank you Stephanie❤
You are so radiant and beautiful. You are soft but have strength! Thanks for this encouraging video and for being an amazing example for the rest of us women! 💗💗
Building intimate relationship with God is my topmost priority right now ❤ thank you so much for this wisdom and knowledge 🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you so helpful content ❤
Everything you said is spot on sis. I HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR!
All I can say is THANK YOU I’m currently preparing and I’m enjoying this season 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I am muslim and hopefully will be married soon in sha allah 💗 thank you for this video, you mentioned really Important points!! Relationship with god is so important + living out his qualities through caring and serving for people is so important! To the last point I wanted to add from my point of you that I also really like the concept of going after your dreams together, going through the struggle but building an empire together. I am not even 22 but I cannot wait to be a wife and have kids and a home with my family and working together with my husband and growing not only my money but ours. I got really inspired by your video so thank you again, may god bless you 💗
Thank you Stephanie 💕
I'm currently working on my relationship with God, I'm 22 years old and I really want to take it serious now, so thank you for this❤️
Thank you🙏💖I agree with you. Relationship with God 1st. And never make marriage an idol. And a willingness to learn and serve🙏
Tip 1 &3 are the ones am working on
I really love the way you addressed these points. I would say the one thing I am concerned about is keeping God first in my life while married. I know my husband will be a priority in my life but he is not above God. I am currently in a relationship and although we have talked about marriage i don't think that will happening anytime soon lol. I grew up in a typical African home where the females did all the cooking and cleaning so I would like to think i got that part down but now I am currently working on making my home "homey" and peaceful. I am also trying to pick up some DIY skills so I don't have to spend money on certain things all the time.
I definitely understand that! I believe the more you place God as a priority now the easier it will be when you get married. Even if there are times where you feel like you are placing your husband first the holy spirit will nudge and tell you to come back! But I love that you are working on making your space homey! That is such a blessing
Could you also talk on staying pure and like boundaries while courting!
Definitely !
Single mom & working on my relationship with God 💗
Beautiful and helpful tips! Amen. God Bless you and your family! 💗💗💗💗
Thank you for this. I feel so much better and encouraged as a single woman of God
So single and looking to God everyday and working on our relationship
