    There has been a lot of comments in regards to us settling to be with each other, being insecure, and not being equally yoked etc. Based on the commentary, it’s pretty obvious that only segments of the episode were watched. “Not Your Type” is so much more than physical attraction. Yet, that has been the only thing that majority has wanted to weigh in on. We are examples of individuals who submitted to God’s Will above our “initial” reactions. Thankfully, we have been blessed to experience growing in love through our love for Christ. We see each other in a way that only we will understand. While we don’t expect everyone’s story to mimic ours, we hope that through this episode you will see how removing “self” can result in the biggest blessing, IF & ONLY IF it’s in submission to God. Be Bless.

      👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Several thoughts came to mind as I read a few of the comments 😆 But I'll say I thought you both seem to feel very at home with each other as I listened/watched. I like your honesty/maturity and believe your love and attraction for each other is genuine. Some people are projecting their own thoughts of you and how they feel about this type of conversation as if those are things you're thinking and experiencing with each other. Sometimes we can be too attached to certain fantasies/ideals/preferences about love, so we think love isn't present or something is wrong with a relationship if those things aren't a part of it.

    I feel like they both kind of give back handed compliments. Like it’s the way they say things and their facial expressions. I’ve noticed that they used dry humor but truly it can come off as mean. It’s a lot of tension while watching this.

    • @lisacox3750

      They seemed extremely natural with each other. I think people are used to watching fake heavily edited TikTok videos and think that's what love and "healthy" looks like. These two were having serious conversations but still joking with each other. That IS way more real and comfortable than a fake/heavily edited video to make people think they have a fairytale relationship that probably won't last another 5 years.

      @@deborahcamillerobinson9247 i understand what you’re saying but this doesnt apply to men when looking for a wife. In our bible it states the men always valued the woman’s beauty & married solely for that. Men look at beauty from head to toe. Elkanah even treated his 2nd wife poorly because of it. Ruth was sough out because of it. As a woman you should seek out a provider and protector. The rules arent the same for us. I dont think its wise for a woman to marry or date a man that not satisfied with her appearance. The church has to be honest that men are men. Why is why they date outside the church first.Woman are you be beautiful and in shape( gluttony is running thru the church nonstop). These are just facts!

  • @PurposedPath
    @PurposedPath 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +113

    Having a “type” means that there are particular physical or character attributes that you are most commonly attracted to. She even mentioned that she was normally attracted to the ‘Morris Chestnut’ type and he’s more so ‘Shemar Moore’ but was still cute.
    That’s ok y’all, they didn’t settle because they valued each other’s character. And obviously they’re attracted to each other - y’all don’t see that baby on her lap? 👀
    Don’t let your “type” keep you from your husband/wife out here…

People really need to listen without reflecting their own insecurities on the topic so they can actually learn and understand what God actually what them to share.

      That's because you assumed "my type" only referred to physical attraction. There is WAY more to being each others type than that...that's the point of the whole video and people are missing it. They are having BIG conversations people aren't used to hearing and people tuned out because they expected the two of them to just smile at each other and talk about how cute each other was....they are more mature than that. These are not teenagers. They were have a grown folks conversation and sadly too many people aren't picking it up.

      From my spiritual understanding & what the ADONAI has revealed unto me is that the worldly concept & the idea of one having a " type" is nothing more than a "familiar spirit" sent by the enemy to sabotage your life. Mainly because "if" you aren't led by the spirit of THE LIVING GOD in all things its easy for HaSatan to manipulate our lives because he studies us all from birth & he knows our likes & dislikes & will attack accordingly. PRAISEVYEVYAH for HIS SPIRIT OF WISDOM & UNDERSTANDING BLESS THE NAME OF THE ADONAI. SHALOM🙏💜🕊

    About 65% of the people don't marry their type. Everyone isn't going to have all of the qualities you want, and sometimes your type isn't really your type. Sometimes, people have to grow on you. It's not always a bad thing. It's more so because we are use to a certain type or way. We tend to overlook people, places, and things in life. It doesn't change until we take those blinders off and give things a chance. Then you will only realize what you thought was for you, really isn't for you.

    This is basically what the creators of married at first sight talk about. The moment a cast member says they are not physically attracted to their spouse, they are very quick to mention that relationships/marriages are more than that. I guess it makes sense for tv, but reading these comments people don’t agree with that in real life? In my opinion it doesn’t seem like they settled for one another.

    I can definitely appreciate this type of conversation. Marriage is not a fairytale, especially not a long lasting marriage. Marriage is for grown folks who can be open and honest. When we want what God wants for us rather than our flesh, this is what it looks like. Overtime the relationship is built. Also, God does not call us to idolize our mate. After all, He gives us a help-mate not a fan. For those who get it, they understand this dynamic. Takes a level of maturity to do so. God bless this union.

    At first I was side eyeing the title & the first few minutes of the video but then the more I just sat and listen to actually hear instead of judge, this made absolutely so much sense and was an amazing video to watch! I appreciate the full transparency y’all had because in reality it’s not to say the things we think we want or are attracted to are bad and won’t work out but if we are talking about the long haul and a healthy growing long haul that may not be what you think you want because you don’t know what all comes with that and may not be healthy towards growing for either person. Plus again if we are talking about HEALTHY partnership looking at only the now and surface level now it’s not going to be what helps to build let alone grow a good foundation for longevity.

    Hi, I LOVE this conversation. From reading the comments, some people haven’t experienced what you’re talking about and can’t relate. I married my preference but it ended being the worst experience I’ve been through. I’m now in a relationship with someone that I would never imagine being with and it’s the best decision I’ve made. A suitmate is better than a preference. Looks don’t pay the bills, it doesn’t shelter your from heartbreak. I understand everything you’ve expressed because I went through it. All of us are not always fortunate to meet our suitmate as well as our preference. Thanks for being brave and opening up!

And the Lord said in His word in this scripture 1st Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel :Do not look at his appearance (King Saul) or physical stature. Because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees. For man (humans) looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.

She invited me to church- she was 33 and i was 30. i ran a fixed income and derivatives trading desk at an investment bank at the time (she had no clue what that was😅). She was a virgin before we married (we found out what vaginismus was on our wedding night 😂😂) and i couldn't understand why, that was until i started studying the Bible - we couldn't have been more different - but we were and still are the best of friends.

You see somebody they may be a 6 or ok looking to you. But if you’re not shallow & get to know that person’s heart & spirit, they immediately go from a 6 to a 10!! It’s not just about the looks, it’s about how that person treats you & make you feel!

    I wish more people had this conversation because most people I know didn't marry their initial "type" and many of them are still married after 10 and 20+ years. Just saying. The thing is many people "think" they know their type but really don't. They end up learning more about themselves when they end up with the person they thought wasn't their type. Sometimes that's the fear and why they don't pursue someone else...because they ARE afraid of growth.

    Title caught my attention so I read the comments as a preview to make sure this wasn't going to be some messed up video where one of them are bashing the other and to my surprise the comments seem to have missed the intro where this husband and wife state who created the idea (his wife) who agreed to film it (her husband) and that they were both okay with making this a topic of conversation because they are okay now and happy with their decision. I'm only at the beginning but I thought I'd mention that for viewers that read the comments don't let them deter you or encourage you to skip around the video or you might me subject to missing key parts. And before I continue on with the video please remember yall physical attraction is not everything many people that get together based on that grow apart and end up divorced because as we age we will begin to look different and through different stages of life your husband/wife may see you at your worse and if they are only there because you are pretty/handsome that is a recipe for disaster.

    I understood totally what they’re explaining… it’s the classic case of YOU CAN’T help who your heart falls for … as young adults we’re not accustomed to stretching ourselves beyond LUST .. lust is typically the driving force of who’s considered ATTRACTIVE when we’re young.. as we mature who crave SUBSTANCE more than MATERIAL things. Men usually want a Wife & she’s most likely completely different physically and mentally than all the women he’s had failed relationships with.. women usually no longer crave the bad boy & desire to be with someone they can trust and make them feel loved, appreciated & respected .. So as we round into form … we can end up with a person typically we would’ve never looked twice at in that way because now our scope of life and what’s needed has changed 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ i enjoyed the transparency because many can RELATE

Most people are not with their ‘ideal’ partner…heck a lot of people are in even worse positions they’re the stepping stone relationship or they’re the cover up. Honestly a huge majority of relationships are not the ideal I think that’s why it offends so many people because they want to be the exception to the rule.

    I think in the body of Christ, we have forgotten or lack the knowledge of what marriage truly is about and what it is. It’s not ONLY about romance and “Love” it is a covenant and a coming together ordained by God to complete a purpose. Eve was not created only for companionship but to come together with Adam complete the purpose of tending to the land/earth. Yes attraction and love are important BUT let God write you love story He will do it better than you can. How many times have we prayed for a blessing and God fulfilled it in a whole different way than you thought?? Ideally they may not be each others “type/pattern” but God did something new in their lives and their obedience has yielded them the blessing of this marriage and now family. I feel like they’re compatible in their humor and sarcasm. What we may not understand is not our business receive the wisdom they’re telling and leave the judgment at the door. So many people missed the blessing of Jesus when He was on earth because He didn’t look like the “Prince” that He was proclaiming to be. He didn’t look like He was the royalty and blessing He proclaimed so they denied Him, even crucified Him!! Have your desires but don’t lose sight of what really matters. Don’t deny your blessing because it doesn’t look like what you “want it to be” 👀
