So 123 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: coming out of that relationship and I'm like, all right, 124 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: let me start getting deeper in time my relationship with God, 125 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: I already had like an idea in my mind that 126 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: it's like I don't want to like I want to 127 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: wait this time and I want to see what is 128 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 1: that gonna do? Like is that going to change anything? 129 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: Like it's going to make things better? So at first 130 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: I was like m hmm, But then afterwards I was 131 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: like you know this. This is something that I think 132 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: God put in my life for this reason because he 133 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: already saw everything that was happening from when I first 134 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: lost my virginity up until so it's like it's like refreshing. 135 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: It was like so refreshing to hear that. I was like, oh, word, 136 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: Like you're waiting to great, we're on the same page. Well, 137 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: I know that religion plays a big part in your 138 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: in both of you all decision. But also he's a 139 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: past right or he's becoming a pastor. Yeah, so he 140 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: didn't go to school to become a pastor. Rather, he 141 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: studied a lot. My God really sat him down and 142 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: had him studying in his room for years. So um, 143 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: he likes to call himself an evangelist and a speaker, 144 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: but he doesn't like to call himself a pastor, but 145 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: other people calling pastor. And like you said, this is 146 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: your first time doing this within your relationship. So what 147 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: are the things you noticed that are like different sustaining 148 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: without sex? Because I know a lot of times people 149 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: feel like when you have sex that kind of like 150 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: clouds your judgment. You don't have a lot of clarity 151 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: or anything.

So it's like, so it's like for that, 193 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: like I really enjoy this aspect and give me something 194 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: to look forward to. Yeah, exactly, So within these three years, 195 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: has it been difficult, yes, child, Yes, this is not 196 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: an easy thing, Like it is not easy at all, 197 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: like everybody because technically you're like celibate. Yeah, yeah, that's 198 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: the world. I think we were looking for a selling Yes, 199 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: like it's not it's really not easy at all, especially 200 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: if you're not a virgin, because you know what you're 201 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: kind of possibly missing exactly. Like maybe if I was 202 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: a virgin this whole time, it probably wouldn't have been 203 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: as hard for me because I don't know what the 204 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: experience is like. But because I know, and because he 205 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: knows too, it's hard for the both of us, like honestly, 206 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: but he's actually been sulivant a lot longer than I have, 207 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: because he, like I'm telling you, God was really leading 208 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: this man long, um seven years. He's been seliman for 209 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: seven years. Well now it's now it's probably like eight 210 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: or nine. Well I might be having a blind moment. 211 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: It is giving head? Is that also being selldor? Now No, 212 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: that's all that's all. Like, if if that's it, then 213 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: it's not being sulivant. Like literally being sullivant is doing 214 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. So it's like, do y'all like make allen 215 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: so we'll kiss. Yeah, but I'll make out, but we 216 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: don't make out, Like it's really like we're really holding 217 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: back because the thing is you started making out, you 218 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: start getting feelings, and you know, every relationship is different 219 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: to me because some people can really have like a 220 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: good chill, like they can make up, they'll be fine. 221 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: But me and him, we already know, like we've had 222 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: like sexual tension since high school. Like we've been ten years. Yes, yes, 223 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: so picture that ten years that you've been in love 224 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: with a person but it just hasn't been working out 225 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Like when I met him, he had 226 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: a girl. Then I ended up getting with somebody, and 227 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: it's like every single time, and then ten years down 228 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: the road and now now we're here and we're like waiting, 229 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: but we've been like feeding for this now that's actually 230 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Like I have really good discipline. So do 231 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: you like get a dressed in front of each other? No, 232 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm just curious because, like you said, like I love 233 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: if I was asleep, my man, you know he get 234 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: dressed like I just you know, I can't. Like sometimes 235 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: I'll see him, like when he jumped off the shower 236 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: and he's like in his towel and I see his 237 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, you gotta go, you gotta get out of 238 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: my face. Yeah, So we really like we really have 239 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: to do a lot of precautions because it's like if 240 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: he was to see me, I know he'd be like, 241 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: just let's go right now. Right. So it's like it's 242 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: really really hard. It's hard, but it's like it's really 243 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: worth it. And there'll be times where we really have 244 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: to like sit down and check ourselves and be like 245 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: we're doing really good because like really it's like we're 246 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: doing really good, like let's not let's not ruin this. 247 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: We have to give pep talks like let's not ruin this. 248 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: So how you ever came close to doing it? Yes, 249 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: we have, So how do you stop that? We literally, 250 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: and I mean like this may sound like super Christian, 251 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: but we literally like I had to pull him off 252 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, let's pray. And you know it's 253 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: funny alright when you okay, no, but when you pray 254 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: it because like now you're involved in God, it takes 255 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: away all of that feeling because it just feels like 256 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm about front God. Like, is it sexy if the 257 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: person tries to stick the tipping at least stick the tipping. God. No, 258 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: like we came super cool, like not even like all 259 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: our clothes are off or anything like that. It was like, 260 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: I guess that's not even super close to you. CLO's 261 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: like our clothes are not all off yet, but we're 262 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: get in there. That's too close already. So we're like, 263 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: let's pray because that just takes that just rips, it 264 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: literally rips the sexual tension out of you. And which 265 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: I have to say, we all be praying, like literally, 266 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: I would have to do it because a lot of 267 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: times I feel like I have more discipline than he 268 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: does and it makes sense, it makes sense. Um, and 269 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: he'll be getting tight like he got tight when I 270 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: did that, and I'm like, I know it's hard, but 271 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: like he's been over seven years, yeah you know, and 272 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: it's like for him, like I totally get and I 273 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: know it's hard, but like we're not doing all this 274 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: for nothing, Like if we already we lasted three years, 275 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: I think at that time it was too last. The 276 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: two years doing this. No, I'm not about just throw 277 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: all of that away. Like so I'll sit there and praying, 278 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: I'll be like, you know, God, just give us a 279 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: strength because like, this is hard. God knows. God knows already. 280 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: God know the hormones, you know. So the number one 281 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: question that a lot of my listeners asked me about 282 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: your story is in what ways that y'all intimate? Because 283 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people think that a lot 284 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: of people feel that when you're having sex with somebody, 285 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: that's like the most intimate thing that you can do. So, like, 286 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: how do y'all keep the intimacy in your relationship alive? 287 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: I love this, She's about to school y'all. Okay, I 288 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: love this no, because I honestly always felt the same way. 289 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: I felt like being intimate meant having sex and making 290 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: out and all of that, and that is that is 291 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: the ultimate form of intimacy, and God made that for 292 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: that reason. Um. But also being intimate with somebody is 293 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: also knowing things about them. It's also loving them for 294 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: who they are. When it comes down to the end 295 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: of it and you really fed up with this person, 296 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: are you just gonna get up and leave or are 297 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: you going to stick around? Because you already know the 298 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: kind of person that you're with. You know that you 299 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: love them, you know, even though they're irritating you that 300 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: this is your ride or die, this is the person 301 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: that you're gonna stay with. So it's like the way 302 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: we are intimate is we like we even do activities 303 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: like like I mentioned, um, like an escape room, and 304 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: escape room is like really cool because you get to 305 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: learn about the minds that are with you. Like usually 306 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: jobs do it for team building and stuff like that, 307 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: because you get to know the people that you're with, 308 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: and it's the same way, Like we really love doing 309 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: that because like he and I were, we are really 310 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: great communicators, but we communicate in different ways. So it's 311 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: like there was this one escape room for example, that 312 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: we started off separate, so we can't see what's going 313 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: on on the other person's side and you have to 314 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: and then communicate, and that that room was like a 315 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: huge life lesson for me when it was like as 316 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: far as the relationship, like how I communicate with my partner, 317 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: and it really showed a lot about me and it 318 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: allowed me to grow. And then it also showed a 319 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: lot about him too, and then I was like, wow, 320 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: like he's really good at this, He's really good at that, 321 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: and it just allows me to be really intimate as 322 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: far as like the mind like, I feel like the 323 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: most vulnerable space in a person is their mind, what 324 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: they think about, what they like, what they want. I 325 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: think it's much like you know, like like to get 326 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: to know somebody from their mind, that's the most vulnerable 327 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 1: space that you're ever going to catch somebody in. So 328 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: to really learn about somebody and how they think, how 329 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: they move, why they act, the way that they act, 330 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: why they feel the way that they feel, that's really intimate. 331 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: And because we remove sex, it gives us more opportunity 332 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: to learn about each other in that way. Well, the 333 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: things do y'all do that might help with your intimacy, um, 334 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: believe it or not. We have a lot of talks 335 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: and it's funny because like my previous relationships, I wouldn't 336 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: be able to talk to somebody like that for hours 337 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: or like have just full blown conversations like Yeah, we'll 338 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: sit there and kiki and have like funny conversations and laugh. 339 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: But a lot of the times, more times than not, 340 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: we'll sit there and have like real conversations, deep conversations, 341 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: deep conversations about how we feel about life and how 342 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: we feel about our goals and how we want to 343 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: uplift each other and when we get married, always having 344 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: married talks. When we get married, how's our life gonna 345 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: look like, how's our children gonna look like? Um, what 346 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: are our goals and how they're going to align with 347 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: our children and stuff like that. We have those really 348 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: really deep talks and then on the other hand, it's 349 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: like really silly talks and stuff like that too. But like, 350 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: I've never been able to say that I talked with 351 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: my partner as much as I do with him, So 352 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: I know you have a like you have everything playing 353 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: as far as y'all getting married next year, right or 354 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: engaged by the end of this year and getting married 355 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: by next year. That's good. So five years almost for you. 356 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: And when ninety years from him ubstaining is from sex, 357 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: that is amazing. Maybe I did that ship people you know, 358 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: like and it's crazy because it's like I wouldn't take 359 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: back the experiences that I had with all my previous relationships. 360 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: However I feel like I would. I would have lived 361 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: just fine without them too, because those people are created 362 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: ties with like for me, and it's not like that 363 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: for everybody too, So um, for me, I create soul 364 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: ties with people, have sex with a lot of people 365 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: think that explain what soul ties is because a lot 366 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: of people may not understand that. Um. For me, soul 367 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: ties is having an intimate connection with somebody like forever, 368 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: like you're always going to be connected to them, Like 369 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: if you think about them, you're going to be thinking 370 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: about those intimate connections that you at and that whether 371 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: or not it doesn't like it doesn't look like it's 372 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: affecting you on a day to day basis, that can 373 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: affect you like overall, Like you know, like we're talking 374 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: about earlier, like there's certain things that people don't deal 375 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: with life and stuff like that, and they don't take 376 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: the time to evaluate it and and hash it out, 377 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: and they think that it's not affecting them, but every 378 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: time it comes up, it comes out worse. So it's 379 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: like I created soul ties with people to a point 380 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: where it's like sometimes like if I see them or 381 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: if I think about it, like something starts coming back 382 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: and I don't like that because it's like I don't want, 383 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: like I don't want to think about you like that 384 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: we're together and we're never ever going to get back together. 385 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm with somebody that I actually love, and I feel 386 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: like pieces of me are being spread in the past 387 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So I feel like those soul 388 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: ties like I could deal without. But I feel like 389 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: I also learned a lot because you ever removed soulties. 390 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just curious child. I don't know. I 391 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: don't know, and you know, I feel like it's different 392 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: for everybody. I feel like certain people have mastered the 393 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: art of like just removing themselves from past experiences and 394 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,479 Speaker 1: removing those soul ties to a point where it's like 395 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: you are never ever going to be emotionally attached or 396 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: intimately attached with that person ever. Again, I'm not. I'm 397 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: not one of those people. So for me, it doesn't 398 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: still bother you. Um, it doesn't bother as much as 399 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: I used to. Like now I've gotten into such a 400 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: safe space with my boyfriend that it doesn't, like really 401 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: ever reoccur, and if it does, it's not very strong. 402 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: So I guess in the sense you could say those 403 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: soul ties are kind of like dying down. But also 404 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: that took a lot of like self reflection that I 405 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: didn't want to do. You make it like he was 406 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: her busting low babies. I wasn't doing. I wasn't that crazy? 407 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: But when I feel, when I love, and when I feel, 408 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: I feel very deeply, so like yeah, you know, yeah, 409 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: now I feel you. I'm very passionate myself.

Like it 470 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: feels good to be able to say like like, yeah, 471 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: I'm not a virgin, but it feels good to be 472 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: able to say like I've built my boyfriend three years 473 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: and I haven't had sex and waiting until marriage and 474 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: it's something to really look forward to. And it's like, 475 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: if you look at it in that way, it's not 476 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: going to be hard for you. But if you look 477 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: at it in a way where it's like, oh, you're 478 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: just missing out all these years, and then like what 479 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: if it's whack afterwards, it's going to be miserable. And 480 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean like I've enjoyed being able to say that 481 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: and then also being able to learn about him in 482 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: that way that it's like it's so much more intimate. 483 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: And people think, like how many people you can have 484 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: a really good conversation within all days, Like it's very rare, 485 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: Like everybody is like so caught up.

People have lost that social skill, you know. 489 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: So I feel like for anybody who's trying to look 490 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: to do this in their relationship, look at the pros 491 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: rather than the cons.

I'd be like it would be like a 610 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: high and by kind of situation. And this time it 611 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: allowed me because looking at a relationship and looking at 612 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: a marriage, it allowed me to see that that's just 613 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: supposed to be a reflection of your spiritual life. A 614 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: marriage with whoever on this earth is supposed to be 615 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: a reflection of your marriage to Christ. So cost so 616 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: it's like seeing that and I'm like, wow, like this 617 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: is how he wants to function with us, Like he 618 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: wants us to be as close as possible. He wants 619 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: us to really learn about him, and he wants to 620 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: learn about us. So it's like, if I can replicate 621 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: what I'm doing in my earthly relationship, I could do 622 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: the same thing in my spiritual relationship, because it's it's 623 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: a relationship like what it is like you're not going 624 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: to be in a relationship with somebody, be married to 625 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: somebody and you know, talk to them. You just talk 626 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: to him the more, and you talk to him at 627 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: night that don't make sense. It's like, oh, hey, blah 628 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: blah blah, buy see you later. So it's like it's 629 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: it's made me more conscious where it's like, you know, 630 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: I don't talk to you like that during the day, 631 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: so let me just say so. Now it's made it 632 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: to like where i'd be talking to him, i'd be 633 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: probably looking crazy like or you know, like I really 634 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: can't deal with this job right now. And it allows 635 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: me to be more open with him, and it really 636 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: makes it like if he's an actual being and he's 637 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: right there, he's listening to me. So it made it 638 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: so much more personal. Before it was just like there's 639 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: a guy he loves everybody. But now it's like, there's 640 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: a guy he loves me. Okay, you know me. You 641 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: know what, someone just kidd in my head, Mary, Mary, 642 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: it's a guy in me. I'm just curious. So you 643 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: talk about your relationship with your friends. Um, yes, and no, 644 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm kind of private with my relationship. But if somebody asks, 645 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: I'll tell them, but I won't be like, hey, here's 646 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: my relationship. Right. Um, I'm the same way. Yeah, you know, 647 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: like I'm kind private, but there's there's like a lot 648 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: of things that I strictly do not talk about, Like 649 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: if we get into arguments or anything like that, I 650 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: do not talk about that with anybody. And me and 651 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: him have made that a thing where it's like you 652 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: want to keep that in the house because people start 653 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: like painting pictures And I used to do this a lot, 654 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: and I will sit there and like talk crap about 655 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: my boyfriend and stuff like that, and then my friends 656 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: would get this really bad picture him. And the thing 657 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: is you're only seeing the bad in that moment, but 658 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to see the good, right, So it's 659 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: like I'm painting this bad picture of him to you 660 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: so that every time I come to you, they're gonna 661 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, leave him, right, because they don't see 662 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: all the good times that we have, good moments and 663 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So we made it a point where 664 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: it's like, if we're going through any sort of hard times, 665 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: nobody's going to know about it, like nobody, because we 666 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: don't need the outside to be painting pictures of each other. 667 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: And then suddenly there's such a bad person and stuff 668 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: like that, because then it just crazy static and it 669 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: just makes it awkward, like when people don't have good 670 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: intentions anyway. So right, right, like if people and you'd 671 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: be surprised how many people in your circle just waiting 672 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: for you to like, yeah, lose, So they just waiting 673 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: for you to say something to be like yeah, break ahead, right, 674 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: and so it's like, yeah, we keep that like that 675 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: part of our relationship is very very personal and we 676 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: don't share that with anybody.
