00:00Your next anniversary will be 25 years, correct?
00:0225, yes.
00:04That's incredible.
00:0625 years.
00:07Aren't those milestones just the best?
00:11Tell us a little bit about what it takes as a couple to get to a milestone anniversary, to make it for the long haul.
00:20It takes lots of buying shoes.
00:23Keep her in shoes and your life is fine.
00:27It's like God blesses your life.
00:29It takes more than shoes.
00:30It takes more than a purse, actually.
00:31A purse.
00:32Buy a shoe and a purse.
00:33And a good hire and communication.
00:36Yes.
00:37I mean, marriage takes work.
00:40And we're getting to 25 years because we have put in the work and we continue to put in the work.
00:46I think that we need to let people know that it's work.
00:51It's amazing, but it does take work.
00:53I mean, we are advocates of counseling and, you know, good communication and talking things out.
01:00And, you know, it hasn't always been easy.
01:02And even now, there are times where it's not easy, but, you know.
01:06I love it.
01:08I love it.
01:08I love it.
01:08I love it.
01:08It's amazing.
01:09And I also think, you know, that for me, everything flows through my faith.
01:20You know, I mean, my faith for me is more than just the music that I do.
01:24It's how I subscribe my entire life to.
01:29And so, as a believer, as a person who defines himself as a follower of Jesus, I understand that love is more than a feeling.
01:43That love is a commandment.
01:45And so, when the Bible says, love you one another, that's not like an option.
01:50You know what I'm saying?
01:50That's not something, you know, it's not a buffet.
01:53You know, like when we don't love one another, whether it's in relationships or human beings, then we're not in alignment with God's blessing over our life.
02:04And I think a lot of people always look for love to be an emotion.
02:09But love has to surpass the level of emotion, and it has to be a commandment.
02:15So, it's something that you do even when you don't feel like doing it.
02:19And so, and I think that a lot of people don't make it because when they fall out of love, they are responding to an emotional response to a decision they've made.
02:33Now, I'm not talking about levels of, you know, a woman's or man's life being, you know, danger of safety and health or if there's abuse.
02:42I'm not talking about those things.
02:43I'm talking about a lot of people get divorced because they may have had a disagreement.
02:46They may have an argument or they may, you know, feel bored with one another.
02:51And so, that's when the commandment to love has to kick in because when I say I do to her, I'm saying not only I do to her, but I'm saying I do to her father, you know.
03:04And so, I have to respond and I have to digress to this commitment when I don't feel it.
03:10And then when I am obedient to the commitment, then the feeling catches up.
03:16I think people make feeling the engine, when feeling is supposed to be the caboose and not supposed to be what drives the train.
03:22It's supposed to be what's at the end of the train, commitment, vows, a deeper spiritual authority over our lives.
03:32Those things are the things that drive the engine.
03:34Now, her been fine, that's just a bonus.
03:37When I'm able to see her booty and be able to see the ministry of how God shaped this woman, you know what I'm saying?
03:44That's just something extra that God did for me because he loves me.
03:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
