The next question is the people that are getting married, what type of advice would you give them that you've learned in your marriage um that they could take and be better in their marriage? Something you can say that could encourage them that could help them with their new marriage.

First thing is the respect.

>> Yeah.
>> How long have you been married?
>> Uh I married 2023. Now it's 2026. So almost 3 years. Yeah. So when you mar just focus with your house because m are different you know. So going to focus love each other don't listen other people you know other people going to give you bad advice but when you focus you play you love each other everything going to be good.

>> Okay, that's perfect. So, since you have a boyfriend, what types of qualities are you looking for or did you see within your man that would, you know, convince you or determine that this will be your husband one day?
>> Um, well, I don't think he would be my husband.
>> [laughter] >> OKAY, go ahead.
>> But like if he gets my trust, then yeah, he's going to maybe be my husband. Yeah.
>> Do you trust him right now or what's going on?
>> I don't trust no one except my mom.
>> Okay. So, first and foremost, you heard her. Trust. Any any other qualities you're looking for or is trust the main thing?
>> Um trust, loyalty, and honest.
>> Okay, that's perfect. And then the next question is the people that are getting married today, what types of advice would you give them so that in their marriage they can succeed? Um, just be honest with each other, tell each other everything and yeah, they'll last.
>> Perfect. Thank you. That's about it. I appreciate it.
Godch.
Ladies, Am I Uh, my name is Barf. young guru and I'm from I was born in Tanzania but I live in boys I ado for me it's very simple I like a woman who's first of all a woman of God you know what I'm saying >> yes sir >> God is the one who created everybody so if your woman is not in church if your woman is doing other things then that's not what you're looking for >> and second for me is just like how they take care of themselves you know when they're around people how they dress you know how they how they walk you know what I'm saying >> and yeah for me just those too is is are they a follower of Christ? You know, and if they're not a follower of Christ, then I I don't want to associate myself with that because, you know, I'm a man of God, too. So, it's like I want a woman who's also a a woman of God. You know what I'm saying? So, we can like know go to church together, read the Bible together, and stuff like that.
But, if it just depends on how she carries herself, the people she's around, and just stuff like that.
>> Yes, sir.
>> I like those answers, man. Thank you.
The next question is what types of advice would [music] you give to your sister and the husband to be so that in their marriage they can become successful? Do you have anything that you may have experienced in your life or you've seen other marriages go through that can help them in their new marriage? What types of advice would you give to your sister?
>> I would just say for both of them >> is first of all to always trust to always trust God. You know what I'm saying? And second of all, it's just they have to communicate. When things are going wrong or things are going right, it's always communication. If they're not talking, then there is no, you know, husband and wife. If if a thing is falling apart and they're not talking about it, then that's just going to ruin everything. But for me, I would say communication is the most important thing.
>> Yes, sir. Thank you. Any other thing you would like to say or promote of your own?
>> Uh, nah. Shout out to my people back in Boise, Idaho, man. All right, man.
Appreciate you. Thank you.
Okay.
forchech.
Are you a job? foreign.
foreign.
>> [music] >> Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Okay.
Foreign forchech.
Thank you very reaction.
There you go.
