Ciara Wilson sparked debate on social media after she told her followers she prayed for a good man like NFL quarterback Russell Wilson.
Some women took inspiration from Ciara’s experience, but others criticized her for implying that God doesn’t answer prayers for women who can’t find or keep a man.
ESSENCE stopped actress Meagan Good on the red carpet and asked her if she prayed to find her husband.
“I know my prayer was not for a husband but for help. For help, for growth, to be closer to God, to know what I’m supposed to be doing specifically and in that prayer time, consistent prayer time, is when I found out that I was about to be a wife and that he was my husband before we even came together. Sometimes, we pray for things that we want but I think that it’s really about praying for more of God and the things that we want come to us, that are meant for us.”
The 37-year-old actress married Columbia Pictures executive DeVon Franklin in 2012. They have no children.

I love them together .
I like them as a couple. Also, I think it’s dope that neither of them don’t have kids. So if they decide to go that route, they can experience it for the first time together. I prefer men with no kids, but the older he is, the more likely he has a child or children. My boyfriend and I don’t have any kids. If we do get married, I would like to enjoy our marriage for a few years by being ALONE with each other before we bring kids into the equation. Anyway, cute couple !
There’s no magic formula for manifesting a spouse. A lot of women out here thinking because they are not married they must have missed a step. Nowadays it is hard for people to find a quality mate. And just because a woman gets married it does not mean she has a superior ability to find and keep a man because a lot people are linking up and remaining together for reasons other than love.
Eyebrow growth? JK
That’s good Meg!! I like them and all but she should have prayed for hair growth cuz them shaved sides is tired chile. LAWWWDDDD!!!
I agree…I dont have any kids and the last man I dated who didn’t have atleast one child was 7+ years ago….the guy Im seeing now doesn’t have any children and we both are in our mid thirties…I love kids I just think that when your dating a man who has children its a distraction especially if their childs mother is a nuisance…I always said I wanted my first child to be with someone who didn’t have any children so we could experience it together…me and him talked and I asked him if he wanted kids…he corrected me and said “No…I want a family”…My draws almost melted right off…
Your position is good counsel. That’s wisdom!
I feel her though. I remember saying outloud (not necessarily praying) that I wanted a man who had a good job, made good money, was educated, had his sh*t together…..and NONE about him as a person. Boy, did I learn. I met a man who had ALL THOSE THINGS, but was an a**hole, was boring in bed, selfish, rude and just a prick all around. I learned my lesson on that one!
“..but others criticized her for implying that God doesn’t answer prayers for women who can’t find or keep a man.”
That made me holler! ? With all the sh/t happening in this world, why would “god” have time to help people find a good mate?
Will Meghan yew got both…yew got a Huzbin and growth….and wut a handsome huzbin
that God doesn’t answer prayers for women who can’t find or keep a man……………You play too murch Sandra!
DeVon Franklin(whom I attended an ULTRA star studded premiere screening of one of his films “Brealthrough” a couple of months ago) Is a great speaker an inspiration. I also like that Meagan doesn’t conform to criticism on what a ministers wife is suppose to dress like.
Lmao??…git OUT>>>>?
I prayed for my EX husband also……….I guess the devil listens to prayers too? IJS
It’s up to you to recognize when God has put your soulmate in your path. Unfortunately most folks realize it when the soulmate is long gone.
Me too!!
I prayed for a Jason Mamoa type for the past 5 years… I think God got sick of me asking for it and gave me Tyrone’s and Leroy’s…
I hope so…LOL….I hope this thick drawed in heavy black brows goes away….
I try not to stare directly at them…when I see a video of her…Chile…
You got what you asked for not realizing that it was NOT what you really wanted.
lol
This is good. I can relate. lol Scared me half to death, but I had to own that it was what I asked for! Grateful I was able to get away and move on with my life.
There’s so many teachings that put the entire responsibility on God, and when it doesn’t happen people think they must have done something wrong to not have favor with God in that area.
Yep! My homegirl kept telling me to be careful what you wish for. LOL She was right. She was like since you my girl, I won’t say, “I told you so”. Damn, I can be so hard headed at times. lol
Meagan cant get them eyebrows quite right can she? Maybe she should pray about that. ???
Both had their prayers answered and are happily married. Good for them!!
I met a guy who owns a white Rolls Royce, a white BMW, and a red Ferrari. That Rolls is something else! Too bad I can’t say the same thing about the car’s owner.
He is rude, egotistical, and about as exciting as listening to grass growing!
Her husband always praying everywhere on the red carpet, in the drive-thru, at the gym, in the traffic ect. Is Meagan Baptist yet? Are they unequal yoke???.
?
Yes a husband doesn’t define a woman Ciara is a weak snake ass pass around
Same! He was controlling and mean. He felt that because he had those status symbols that I should bow down to him and I do as he said. GIRL. I had to make an exit. QUICK.
Chiiile we get it!!!
I thought they were Seventh Day Adventists?
They’re tattooed ?
Next time write down all your intention.
Advanced level shade.
Aint nobody ask me for my prayer! https://media2.giphy.com/media/2ocQMBsTtFjTW/giphy.gif
CDFU????
Reminds me of that old saying “ be careful what you pray for”… (I’m changing my prayer request right now after reading this? thanks)
pass around? damn.
I did the same thing Meagon and chile …… lost a lot of friends, because I grew …… and my man chile ….. he came right on in …… Through that process I learned I had to make room for what God had for me …. ya gotta grow to allow what’s right for you to enter into your life …. if not it will fall apart ……Told many of my old clients this as well …. you gotta make room for love ….. and that means grow !!!!! The ones that stunt that growth must be removed expeditiously !!!!!! and in this day in time with my azz there are no returns ….. old friends and exes can miss me !!!! Sounds about right Meagan …… and Ya’ll know I ain’t stuttin no Cierror and her Hexanbeast azz chile ! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif Frauds!
“and about as exciting as listening to grass growing!”
______________________________________________
CHILE!!!! He was BORRRRRRING, you hear me! I mean, I think that’s why his wife left him after only 4 years. He was not a fun person at all and that didn’t fit with me because I am bubbly and outgoing. He was like dead weight. I found myself trying to change for him to make him happy…..as soon as I noticed that, I had to bounce.
Absolutely! I had friends clapping for me because everything looked good on the surface. Being wined and dined, receiving gifts, his status, etc. I was around him all the time and things started to present themselves. Finally, I said “heck naw” and got to steppin. Never felt so good. It’s so easy to lose yourself without knowing it! Going to be careful what I put in the next prayer and just focus on growing myself. Ciara had it made because she is in the public eye and Russell wanted her from jump. Her story is not everyone’s story tho. I hope she’s genuinely happy. You can absolutely tell how happy Megan Good is. Her and Devon both. Hard to find.
i tell folks all the time everything ain’t from God.
See we tend to ask for material things. We should be asking for a man with a good heart, family oriented, one that takes care of home, faithful and so forth. We look at the material stuff not realizing that he can have ALL the material things that we are attracted too and be the devil reincarnated.
she doesnt need to listen to the public she should listen to God.
He shoooo wasn’t ….I don’t know who sent him but it certainly was not GOD.
I had that same convo with someone yesterday about “making room”. People need to know themselves well enough to understand how not making room shows up in their lives, then work to correct it.
Prayer definitely helps.
I feel my husband praying for me daily.
I don’t know what he looks like or sounds like but the more I pray and discipline myself for the way and desires of God over my life I know my future husband is drawing near and I will not have to wait long to become a wife and mother that puts God before it all.
Since next to Apple and starts our 4th of July dranking for the divorced lady corner… https://media1.giphy.com/media/l0K43Mcm5uNe5O4I8/giphy.gif
Absolutely!! I lost myself and started to do things that he wanted me to do and he never had to reciprocate. I made excuses for him all the time. And then after like the 6th or 7th date (when I saw that he liked to flirt with the white female waitresses in front of me) and then return back to his quiet self when we were together, it told me alllllll I had to know. It wasn’t a black girl that he wanted.
I feels ya
Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllleeee…I could write a book….
CHILE…aint that the truth. I was so crazy I was trying to make sure my husband wasnt trying to seclude me from my friends overlooking so many issues….I struggled for the first 3 years of our relationship but eventually…….. he was just pointing out the obvious and then ….. https://media3.giphy.com/media/JsclfJxDPmCJy/giphy.gif
?????
????
100% truth in all of this. I will surely be more mindful the next time, for sure.
????
I forgot to pray for DISCERNMENT….this time around I pray for discernment, wisdom, clarity, knowledge……so I can know from which spirit he cometh from….
Good suggestion!

So funny you say this because I came across one of them old BF’s and my husband was like yawl going to reconnect. I was like honestly Im good. I was so proud of myself! I done grew hunny!
My dumb but would have been like but she my best friend tho…had this been 10 years ago..

Is this Nikki from Chitown??? Are you referring to 50 Cent ???(jk)
From your mouth to GOD’s ears, hunny!!!
????
LMAO!
But Russell is just as weak in my opinion. Doesn’t matter what his bank account holds, I NEED a man to be a man!. I’m the kinda female that will run all over you if you let me. I NEED a stern dude that’s willing to tell me “I’m doing too much, go sit my ass down somewhere”.
Yes!!??????
Great message….I just wish yew had left C’era completely out…
Let dem old friends go chile I feel ya! …. Your season has changed because you’ve changed !!!!!! Time for people that vibrate at your level ….. that grow with ya … not against ya!!!!
We all have a choice in our partner. Marriage should only happen when you’re mature and have had a lot of life experience.
Chile you better testify !!!!!! Yes Gawd https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c3fed1aa979b59e05aa9fc5191b385362a3e258bb90139b61a295275fab20cdb.gif
Yep! Wow. So very similar to my experience. I was starting to think he preferred white women as well. Was far too peculiar, but had enough in him to pull me in with good looks, charm and intellect. He acted “down” to get me. Wasn’t long before he was turning his nose up at black establishments or flaunting his money in front of waitresses, etc. I was turned off and just kept watching. There was nothing that would have made me stay; gifts, nothing. Glad we both saw the signs.
You are speaking my language this afternoon! Keep going!???
ha!! you’s a mess for that!!! lmao!
Make room bew !!!! Keep at it !!!!!
True I’m here for all that… but we are on the outside looking in we don’t know how Russell is behind closed doors… but he does give off short lil dick vibes ??
GLAD YOU SHARED THIS TODAY SANDRA…I BARELY GOT MY BIG TOE IN THE DATING POOL AND I’M READY TO RUN FOR COVER. I’M JUST GONNA KEEP FOCUSING ON ME MEH
So sky daddy is answering her prayers for “growth” but wont rescue the slaves in Africa? Interesting…..

hmmmmm….I have no comment on this. It’s not bad, I’ll just refrain for today. lol
There was slavery in biblical times and even before that. Not to mention the millions of slaves we have today. Seems like slavery isn’t God’s concern.
You a little wild Jenie but I hear you most times…You and that hexanbeast reference ?
I see no lies told here!!
I don’t date. I don’t pray for a date. I don’t pray for marriage. If it’s supposed to happen, it will. I’m a believer in divine intervention. What will be… will f*cking be. I ain’t pushing it. Been there, done that. You spend more time trying to figure out if “this is the answer to my prayers” than you spend paying attention to the signs that that MF is NOT!
F*ck dating. F*ck Marriage. F*ck relationships… all I need is my remote control, lawn mower, weed eater, a steady income stream, fried chicken, p0rnhub… and some lotion.
Too blessed to be stressed.
LOL!!!! Atlanta. Not a man weave. Haha. Naw he ain’t have none of that. He did darken his hair tho, to look younger. Fooled me!!
Won’t God do it!
You said sky daddy. Yes you did.
Oh my LordT????
Love flows like a river ….. when you got rocks and pollution in that said river expect ….. blocks and pollution …… love is not rocket science ….. love flows … allow it too …. when these so called exes and friends block that …… move em out da way … make room for that river to flow to ya ….. shewt https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif
Oh No Chile ? You outta order…But hey…you are living your life on your terms. I can dig it.
My grandparents lacked experience but were married for 52 years. Gram (17) met Pop (19) when he came from the south to stay with family, and they were married until Pop passed. Pop always said there wasn’t anything another woman could do for him. So I have to disagree I believe it depends on the individual..
Why I thought you were taking about sky from black ink crew ?? I was like what her daddy do? And what does this mean ??
I’M JUST GONNA KEEP FOCUSING ON ME MEH
_____________
That’s where it starts …. with you !!!!! That love has to be within in order to attract it …..gotta be …. Much love bew!!!!
Chiiile…
GAG ORDER
Shady chile ?
I love Meagan & DeVon as a couple!… They are absolutely beautiful together & I can’t wait to see how beautiful their future children will be.. May God continue to bless their union!
Yes, she is. Let her know.
LOL @ “p0rnhub and lotion”. I’m dead!!!! I feel you though. Plus, when I get into a relationship I get mad that I now have to answer to somebody. This is what I get for forcing the issue!
Now, that song by Junior plays in my head….take ya time young man/momma used to say/don’t you rush to get old/momma used to say/take it in your stride/momma used to say/life your life”
*changing words to fit the situation* lol
But you’re talking about a different generation. Your grandparents time was when young people grew up faster and had more responsibility and more sense. Today not so much.
I see y’all acting up today ? ? go head on now…
?
Oh yeah… Happy Birthday. *side eye*
Yep!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL!! https://media2.giphy.com/media/l0HUprkhZ8zG2NxPa/giphy.gif
Continue.
Yassss to ALL of this ! He definitely has a king mentality. Our community has so much potential. We have to break the cycle! No more single parent households (I came from one, so I’m not judging anyone) and broken families! A black family is a beautiful thing. There is nothing wrong with waiting for marriage to start a family and nobody will make me feel bad about my decision to wait. Period.
You speaking the truth, thanks for sharing.
I go through phases of this…then my Scorpio nature be wanting some of that good good that no amount of pornhub, vibrators, .edible warming liquid…etc..could do…then I start praying …I almost asked God to take the feeling of wanting sex away until he sends a man…..but I’m not mature enough in my walk with the Lord yet to be so bold…
I like Meagan and all, but I think she needs to lay off talking about her relationship and husband. Like he is a prize, that she is lucky to have. Makes me kind of think they are over compensating for something.
“GOD” aint checking for black folks.. ???? we need to wake up
I side eye all of them god brought me a husband/wife folks. You know dam well thats not how it work. You also know dam well that many church folks are as aint sheit as some non church goers. Sit tf down ciara you and russell arent fooling nobody but those whove been fools. ?. I do think good men exist but to think that they come with a list of divine ingredients is silly af.
you clearly have no idea how spiritual laws work. eyeroll.
Same but in woman version. Same bruh. Except i dont even believe if it happens it happens im GOOD!
No you didn’t, but I agree.
I know yo struggle sis, I can go years, but every so often I have to get this cat scratched!
that was the JAM!
Tea. You spilled all the tea shawty
I was raising my kid and made it a point of never having a revolving door around him. One time he asked me if I’ve ever had sex. “MF, where TF you think you came from!!?!” LMAO
I guess, in his head, “All my friends dad’s keep hoes… where yorn?” I made it a point of focusing solely on him as a single dad. At first it was only going to be for a year… then I was like, “OK, he’s effin’ up in school, he needs MORE attention… so, six more months… then… six MORE…” before I knew it I was like those ladies I didn’t believe who said, “I haven’t had sex in three years.” by then, my attitude has worsened. I didn’t have time for bull$hit. Once you hit 40, bull$hit hit different. If I didn’t like your HAIRDO, I was out.
Now, I’m so caught up in my own space… coming when I want to, NOT coming if I don’t want to. CUMING when I want to. Fawdin’ when I want to. Not changing the sheets until I want to. Socks on the side of the bed for as long as I want to. I’m in that “wish a MF WOULD” phase… and I can’t see it changing.
Speak.The.Truth!!!
This GIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Same thing I say…and my mom hates me for it. *shrug*
Your comment is laced with envy.
I dont even judge women on how they manage their pucci but ciara whole naive girl born again virgin tactics annoy tf out of me. I hate future with a passion he defines everything thats wrong with “malehood” but hes not a rapist, bishes keep giving him raw pucci and crying for sympathy later like how heaux? How?
https://media2.giphy.com/media/I0yPSuPuXntHG/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
Mine too. She just went telenovella on me yesterday talking about where did she go wrong with me. ?
THE CLARITY YOU GET FROM ABSTAINING IS UNMATCHED…I’M CURRENTLY AT THE PART WHERE YOU TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO TREAT YOU (EITHER THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY)…BUT THE LOVE IS SLOW BUILDING AND I’M GETTING BESIDE MYSELF.
thats right…i’ve made many mistakes…and have now mastered the art of an inner knowing. Pay attention to your dreams also because the devil will try to plant evil seeds in them, but cancel them upon waking and break evil covenants that you don’t even know about. Tell God if its from him you come into complete agreement with his will.
You don’t know Russell or Ciara. Just like they don’t know your dusty ass exists. A man like Russell doesn’t achieve what he has at the age of 30 by being anything but an alpha male. You, your man, your daddy and none of your friends or relatives could last a day in his shoes or achieve 1 percent of his accomplishments. ?? Broke ass bitches love to talk, while the overachievers DO.
Period!
Girlllllll!!!!! ÝOU BETTER SAY IT!!!!
Correct there is no “get a good man prayer”
You are me and I am you….LOL…….it doesn’t have to change with the right person….within reason of course…I was married before so I been there done that…..All the BS I see my friends putting up with in marriages and relationships….I couldn’t even FATHOM the thought …..just the other day my friend told me her man (that pays NO BILLS) put a tape recorder in her car!!!! For the SECOND TIME…and he’s pushing 60 and she’s over 40….everytime I hear some BS….I be like….”That’s why its just Me, myself and I…..FUGG THAT!
I was lost at first…um like who the hell is “sky daddy”
Yassss!!!!
?????Well you got a point there..
She prayed for “help”…. same difference…. help me with these bills; help me with these kids,; help me with these groceries; help me with this house; help me with this bra?
?
Ciara never said she prayed for a husband. She said she prayed for the type of man she wanted in her life and there is nothing wrong with that. Y’all low self esteem people always think someone is telling you what to do. No! She said what she did and what worked for HER. Do what’s best for YOU.
You got me over here choking on my salad….
I don’t think they heard you in the back!
Bra LOL LOL LOL LOL this is some real shyt right here!
Damn sis
As the resident atheist with a great man, I believe all of this “I prayed for growth, I prayed for a good man etc” is bullshit. Don’t pray for growth, put in the fucking work! Don’t pray for a good man, use discernment. Work on the toxic things about yourself-go to therapy, the gym, yoga, change your negative attitude and approach to life. I’m all about action f#ck prayer.
Girl!?
LMAO! If that dude had a body like Fiddy, I might have overlooked some of his personality flaws. ?
First of all, who still uses tape recorders.
“Should I color my eyebrows in today or leave them thin???…”
????? ahahahahahahaha
He’s lucky. Some people tolerate people like that, just for the coins. That’s why they don’t feel the need to change.
Well, he is a senior citizen. He scared ASF a 35 year old gone take his gal. LMAO!!
Naaaaw, I’m cool on that kinda $hit. One time this broad had her brother go to my apartment complex, pretend to be me, get a KEY to my house and gave it to her.
I would come home like, “TF these fingerprints come from on my phone… I KNOW I left the closet closed…” this MF would be talking to me while I was at work while walking through my apartment – asking me questions that I thought were stupid like, “What did you do with that candy I bought you?… I know for a FACT that you gave it to some b*tch…” and I’m like, “How TF could you know that for FACT?!?” and she said she looked through my blinds on the balcony as if she could see my ENTIRE house through a crack in the blinds.
I get home and realized that I had folded laundry and the box of candy was underneath a folded pile. I called my complex and asked, “when was the last time a key was made to my house?”… “hold please… Yes, you came in on January 5th and said someone stole your bag at the gym and you needed a key to get in.”
Bro, I left my job and went off so hard on them people in that office that TWO people about to sign a lease walked out! .. Damn, that was 1998 and I just got re-mad! LOL
This was sooo me a year + ago. I feel you! ?
So…… diff strokes I guess??
I am in tears? ?…I’m Crackin up??I was running late for work last night and I was asking God to help me find my black bra. I was pressed for time…I was praying ? hard.
I will attract a life partner that is kind to me and others, communicate well, financial successful, sexual towards me, have eye for me, not mean spirited, romantic in his own way that suits my taste and I am receptive of it, healthy active lifestyle, knowledgeable but not boastful or breakdown to me or know it all, love adventure, will bring out the best in both of us, will build our lives and empire together, if have children make be 1-2 no parental drama, family loving man, not a punk, caring towards me and others, marriage will be for me and him dating with a purpose: you can add more that in your alignment.
Wrong again….God DID INDEED FREE ALL of Israel from the Egyptians….and all they did was complain and mess up….wound up wondering around for 40 years……
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” Yall need to actually read the bible for yourselves….
… and this year’s Comment of the Year Award goes to… ?
DIDN’T she say he pushin’ 60?!? Keep up! He still think the king of R&B is Bobby Womack.
Read the bible.
Now I’m over here singing ? ‘when it’s cold outside, who are you holding?’ ???
In my younger days, I couldn’t keep track of the hearts I left crying in the dark. Now, I look back and realize I was a complete @$$h0l3!
Mind you girllllll
My mom loves to sheit on her sisters because she was married and had us in wedlock but she forgets that my dad had kids on her, would get violent with her when drunk and often times gambled money away in casinos. Like ok i had a father and he actually taught me things and raised me but he was a crappy husband and until the day he died he showed more love to his mistress than her so why oh why would you want that for me? Im telling you that in my experience men dont want me like i want to be wanted Nd your answer is who cares get married and have kids like ?
You always talking about thing yo girlfriend got and you ain’t got…..
Well said , person of your dreams can be in your face , but if you ain’t equipped or in the place to reciprocate it then it means absolutely nothing.
I don’t know about the sense part. My paternal grandparents married when they were early teens; starting having babies immediately. Because of this, some of the older kids were forced to quit school to work to help take care of the family. To me, I don’t think that’s fair or even wise. Granted, they didn’t have the knowledge that some have today. But at some point, you stop having babies…especially when you get to 16 kids!
Yea but he’s Hollywood so everything changes
LOL! You cray!?
I’ve read the Bible and I just knew someone was gonna mention Egyptians, lol. I’m not here to argue. But you should know there were/is many other people who was/are enslaved. Like I said, it seems like slavery isn’t that big of a priority for God to dismantle it ????? He’s omnipresent and all powerful but yet only certain groups of people get the privilege of him to dismantle slavery? Just interesting, as Dre Clemons said.
*sucks teef*
Typical reply from a chick who actually has a good dude?
(I kid! Hey Boo!??)
Please logout. ?
That’s definitely true, I was speaking in just more of a general sense. You should not have kids if you can’t provide adequately financially for them.
Why tho….?
Yess!! ‘I’ll be looonngg gone’ ??

*cackles*
LOL! Thank you lovely!
I appreciate you, I sure will! <3
Amen Love! Amen! <3
I literally just hollered at my desk….in an open office space plan….I don’t even know what to say right now….she said she was looking through the blinds on the balcony……ChiiiiiiiilllllE……that BISH was Cray-Cray…Cray ….that’s why I’m chilling too…just told my mom today…I’ts above me now….LOL
I think it is a shame that believers get bashed for praying for a husband, but folks be out here praying for cousin Pookie to get out of jail when he shot nine people. While I was single, I prayed for God to send me a mate, someone I could grow with, someone who would be not only a great husband, but father to our children. I also prayed for discernment. I asked God to work on me first, then present me to the man that I am suppose to marry. Like he did with Eve. Before she was present to Adam, God formed her. And that was my prayer.
Non believers have their own way of doing things. Sometimes things work out, and sometimes they don’t. One of my husband’s biggest regrets is that he said he should have married me sooner and that he started working on himself more, when I walked into his life. But everything works in God’s timing. Although we work hard together, I would not trade my husband nor the bond we share for nothing in the world. I will tell anyone to seek God before considering marriage. Sometimes marriage is not the key to a person’s problems or personal development. You have to work on yourself first, before you can fully love another person.
I guess moms said having a piece of man is better than having no man at all.
Facts!!!!
You are so right. That’s one of the things my husband says. I was right under his nose, but he wasn’t ready to fully commit. For me, it was all or nothing. I did not have a problem walking away from him when I did.
MOFOs who be on BS….clearly….and she said he kept replaying in the car….funny thing…she told that it also picked up an outside conversation with a woman going off on a man and he told her it was her….and she said it wasn’t her didn’t even sound like her….Yeah…..I’m good being single…
?
Hallelu!
Ciara just makes it up as she goes. It’s easy to create a narrative, featuring God no less– to end the way it ended up. Russ has a God-complex so it super feeds into that as well. The gag is, there was no “Russell” prayer–the story goes they were backstage at some event. Russell saw her in the reflection of a mirror then God spoke to him & said save her/help her something like that. I’m paraphrasing Russell’s words from a Rolling Stone interview he did yrs ago. Basically, he just picked her.
Ut Oh….this post finna head souf!!! Sandra it’s bout dat time!
I can never understand how people debate God. If I don’t believe in something or don’t want to go to church, it is not up for discussion. The bible has been tried, tested, and proven. People still debating God’s existence is baffling after all these years. I don’t deal with Buddha or Mohammed, so I would not be in a forum debating their existence, but hey this is a free country, just like this is a free forum.
And this weight! Amen ?
Latinas firmly firmly believe that sheit and i cannottttttttt! So many of my cousins are with incarcerated men talking about todos merecer segundo oportunidad like everyone deserves a second chance. HMMMMMMMMMM btch he’s a murdered, he killed his wife you want him to have a second chance to do what?????
LOL
I strongly agree with your comment. With a few years of marriage under our belt, my husband and I try to share the wisdom that led us to each other.
too late…tee heeeee
?His body?
Lmao russell really told that story with a straight face? Im dead sis ?????
You’re right about him picking her though plus theres always that difference between them like he saved her and her illegitimate child from fck boy abyss i cant ??
I pray it happens for you at the right place and the right time!! Make sure you are making room for it. Clean house!!
Ive been there too.. searching only for it to turn up right under your nose! ?
I met my man, my husband of 20+ yrs when I wasn’t even looking for someone. I didn’t pray for sh|t–it was just meant to happen.
Pray for God’s will. I had a list at one point about the kind of man I wanted for myself and the kind of father I wanted for my children. God exceeded my expectations.
“The bible has been tried tested and proven”
Which version?
What does it profit, my people, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one
of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you
do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James 2:14-26
It shol is?
Hey Bree. I do believe in God. I NEVER said I was an atheist. And my response wasn’t questioning his existence. I critically think and use my brain. Lol. If you read the Bible, you are bound to have questions and generalizations based on how the world is. It is totally okay to analyze and have questions as a Christians guys!! Slavery is common in our world. The trans-Atlantic slave trade went on for 400 years, for example. God obviously didn’t put a stop to it because it wasn’t something he wanted to do. It took war and casualties to stop slavery here in America. This is a fact. I’m not questioning Christian mythology, just stating a obvious observation.
I can’t stand this fraud of a husband. No true pastor would seek anyone in hollyweird to marry. And he recommends for her to make her sex scenes believable. He wants her to really get into them. He’s not a man of God. He’s a low down pimp.

I was super lost I’m already trying to sneak on this phone and these folks keep walking by my desk while I play busy ?????
I like them together, don’t know much about their personal life, so I guess I’m looking just whats on the outside, they look cute together
God adores marriage. It was the first institution he ordained and created, before His church. Many people don’t realize that. Before Eve came into Adam’s life, he was already working. I tell women all the time, make sure he has a job, or is working towards something. Biblical instructions are clear and God’s formula works out the way God intended. I found that it is best for my life and for our family. Some agree, some don’t. But such is life.
U have to become what u want to attract.. if you’re insecure, mean spirited, emotionally unavailable, manipulative,…. you should stay away from relationships until u fix yourself….
But you ARE questioning God reason for allowing certain things to happen or not allowing it…depends on how you look at it…but you wouldn’t be questioning God if you knew HIM….and the only way to know him…is from Consistent reading, meditating, praying, worshiping, bible study, class, growing a relationship..
There are currently slaves TODAY who are being bought and sold. Thats what I was referring to. Not your fictional “Prince of Egypt” story…..
The fact that you think He only is for certain groups of people….just proves that you don’t know Him at all.
That joint was arranged. Go sit down
Ppl don’t know about good ole Russ–he was peddling some “Jesus Juice” (recovery water for concussions)…the med experts put the kibosh on that. That preceded Ciara. When I say they r perfect for each other?Truly EqUaL yOkeD.
https://media.giphy.com/media/9uoYC7cjcU6w8/giphy.gif
There was no Prince of Egypt story….I love talking to people like you…because it be so funny and obvious how 99.999% of you have never read the bible..how can you be against something you know nothing about.
Prayer with works go hand in hand…a person that’s praying simultaneously works on themselves.. But it’s sad.. all this time I was rocking with u.. I agreed with most things you would say.. never had a clue u were an atheist.. that’s your business and you’ll have to deal with that…there’s no need to disrespect prayer just because something in this life made you lose faith… we can’t see air but we KNOW it’s there.
Oh wow,….didn’t know that
??…yes ma’am
Girl please. I’m not questioning it. All I said was that it seems like ending slavery isn’t a priority for him. That’s it. I would be doing a huge disservice to my creator if I didn’t use my brain and critically think. He knows me and I know him so that’s cool.
Oh weeee….you just said a mouthful….but it is also why I’ll never be jealous of put anyone’s relationship on a pedestal…..#relationshipgoalsmyazz
Noooooo? You know what that makes perfect sense now because they both came out of nowhere in live and sanctified and i was like ?. Smh. Equally yolked indeed.
@DavidAndSolomon:disqus I am doing that daily. I cleanse myself of self-hate speech, I’ve reduced my cursing and I write down in my mini stories my behavior that I know may or may not have contributed to a situation ending or beginning. I am big on making myself own my chit. I’m tired of the temporary and I desire more permanence.
https://media.giphy.com/media/hoqybcamlGjEWZpbAt/giphy.gif
Its so hard for me to get pass the “it seems like ending slavery isn’t a priority for him”. and then in the same breath “I know Him.” Okay Sis. I digress
I do believe in god, no judgement here, because I understand why u probably feel like this…it’s ugly out here…souls are for sale everywhere and they’re going really cheap…I’m like… does god see what’s going on with us humans?….why is Satan allowed to run free devouring everything?…idk…
Pick one. I have only read KJV
Well I don’t date DBR’s and I don’t have kids and I want to be saved by a Russell type, so wants the problem, LOL.
Talking to a non existent entity is useless. There are productive things one can actually do with their time. I look forward to a more logical society instead of one of willful ignorance and cognitive dissonance.
Yep some water company he was invested in–they were trying to sell on Amazon.
All dogma is rubbish. Talking to made up entities is not an efficient use of anyone’s time. I look forward to a more logical future where folks throw religion and their texts in the trash.
Hell yea!! You know I had to play it!!
I believe we shouldn’t be looking or searching for a man…they come to us …we just have to learn to pick the one man that deserves our time….
I absolutely LOVE this!!! Thank you for this! I will take it from here….lol
Ok, I was about to say! I’m in NY. Girl, when we were intimate, I could NOT touch his hair or face. LMAO!!!!!!!! I was like, um….this ain’t gonna work out AT ALL. lol
Having a successful career, relationship, marriage, life has nothing to do with seeking a non existent entity but everything to do with the work you put into it.
Lolol This made me chuckle. Yeah, those men who have a little money in the bank have very very weird idiosyncrasies. I had had enough!! LMBO I know what you mean. I was like “This too much.” Couldn’t WAIT to get back to regular dudes. Lesson learned. I want a good balance!! Nothing too fancy!!
That is SO RIGHT. I was divorced 18 whole years raising my son and then enjoying the single life and the right one popped up. 5 years in and can’t believe all the bull I put up with 1st marriage. I WAS GOING TO BE GOOD either way, we both are lucky to have each other.
It seems like a lot of things aren’t a priority. He lets bad things happen all the time sis. He gave us this thing called free will. Evil is allowed in this world – starvation, slavery, war, rape, etc. The devil exists for a reason. I mean, don’t you think God could have eliminated the devil if he really wanted to? This is one big sims game and God is pulling all the strings. There are biblical references about God being idle and letting horrible things just happen. Let the humans be humans, basically. Those who have managed to maintain their faith in the mist of all this evil (that is allowed by our creator) will be saved. It’s ironic and may be uncomfortable to accept which is why I understand your contentious approach. I get it.
It says if u can not remain celibate get married…1st Corinthians 7, 8-9. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion
You are right! There was no Prince of Egypt story. Glad we could agree on that. ?
So all 50 English versions were proven?
Wow that’s deep
What was she saying in the car. He sounds like he still drives a Lincoln Town Car
This right here!!
How do they work exactly?? There are currently an estimated 300,000 children in sex trafficking right now in the US alone. But apparently Sky Daddy sees Megan’s growth as something thats more important than rescuing children. So what am I not understanding?
Did u find it in time
Again, pick a version of your choice, test it and see if it is proven. I have only read KJV, which I personally have tested and proven. I also have a personal relationship with my Creator. The bible is right, somebody is wrong.
There is a comment above yours and I don’t know what it says, because I apparently blocked the person, I don’t know how, but can you tell me what the comment says?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
I will eventually get a responsible guy who is present and active in all the things he is attached to. Kids, job, family, God and life. ??
They are foolish. Only an idiot would tell you not to question something. That right there should tell you all you need to know about religion.
How did you test it?? How did you verify the info??? Do you own a time machine?
It took me 25 years to get to this point. I’ve been a skeptic since I was 3. Raised as a PK and heavily involved in the church. Went from christianity to studying other religions and comparing them to agnosticism to atheism. I really wanted something to believe in bc of how I was raised. It was scary letting go at first and realizing none of this crap makes sense.
Gods not real. Only black women are out praying to the sky for a mate, when other races of women just be attractive intelligent feminine women that demand marry and support them and their children. Black women pray and get sent child molesters,felons, addicts, abusive bums for husbands. It’s embarassing black women.
Shittt gal, I ain’t neva gone get a man
Girl story of my life. I was raised non denominational Christian, at 15 I woke up. Grown educated people think the world is the way it is because a talking snake tricked a woman into biting an apple? It’s sad how misogynistic and goofy people and the world are ????.
LOL!
Girl please say it again. Ain’t no god. If there was one women and blacks are far on the list of priorities.
Ridiculous out here. Have you done any reading by Stephen Hawking? Very enlightening.
Pk….smh…Chile me too.. I was in church 4 times a week…I slept with Bible…lol . my entire childhood was strick af…I left home at 17 ….I could not take it anymore….I love my mom tho she tries hard to keep me in the “light”….I appreciate all her prayers…but I do question EVERYTHING….all we know is what somebody else told us?….its either what we learned in school or church.?…it doesn’t feel right to me at all…I do feel u….
No. Any recommendations. I believe I’ve heard of him.
?. .yes u will…
“but it is also why I’ll never be jealous of put anyone’s relationship on a pedestal…..#relationshipgoalsmyazz”
That part! ??
Lol…?..at least you’re honest with yourself….
lol
I don’t like to call people names, lol. We all are adults with differing opinions and I respect that. But it was interesting to note how quickly people questioned my relationship with God based off of what is actually in the Bible anyway. God makes it no secret that he tests us and allows for evil to be in this world. Slavery, among other inhumane hardships, is an example of this test. But yet somehow I am wrong ?
It says “Having a successful career, relationship, marriage, life has nothing to do with seeking a non existent entity but everything to do with the work you put into it”
I really don’t know…I’m starting to think we’re alone out here with Satan stalking us…I’m trying hard to keep my faith….
He looks gay like everyone else
@DavidAndSolomon:disqus Correct, exactly what @disqus_JW3xF1FJbC:disqus wrote below.
Lmao… Maybe not one to keep but you can find some to play with.
I LOVE IT?????????
Do you like learning about astronomy and physics? The majority of his stuff is kind of dense and you may find boring if you have no interest in it but “Brief Answers to the Big Questions” is good.
Lmao to each their own
Im just not gonna buy that a woman who prefered thugs and @$&holes suddenly knows the values of a good man or that a man can truly get to know a woman in however little time they knew each other, pero do you boo boos
Makes me think of when I ised to be on FB, and how people would make posts asking for people to pray for them, and then people would start commenting with praying hands, saying “prayers going up,” and all that nonsense. And I used to just laugh to myself, cause them niccas knew good and dang well that they will have forgotten all about that prayer request as soon as the next post on their news feed catches their attention. And then I’d be thinking to myself what a fool the person requesting prayer was for not specifying their God by name, yet you’re asking for prayers. You don’t know wven know if the people you asking for prayer from even worship the same God as you. smh
I understand. I had to stop reading the paper bc I was getting nightmares. I feel that humanity has the potential for great good and great evil without the help of a devil or god.
Exactly!!!!
Damn…Damn…Damn….
Girl, I know men who have never been faithful both before and after they married their wives. Their wives think they have someone worth fighting for while everyone else knows what time it is. If you didn’t know them you’d think they had good marriages.
That will be a blessing. I hope it happens for you soon.
I agree. Getting into a relationship is not the answer to a person’s problems. People will never enter a relationship in perfect shape, but the important thing is to acknowledge work needs to be done and do it. I’m glad you have a great relationship.
?? you think so?
Bingo!?
I only mentioned this because one of my closest friends irks me so with wanting me to go out with “time-wasters” just for a meal or to buy things. I told her my time is too valuable for that. I get no joy out of using people or hanging out with anybody who does not fit me.
My grandparents were married for over 50 years but I bet if they were part of my generation they would have divorced. In that generation getting married was a way for a woman to have posterity, so even if the marriage wasn’t all the way right people still stayed together. These days we do well on our own so if we’re in a less than optimal relationship, we can pack it up like Miss Sophia and roll on.
Chile please…..I will pray to my God (Jesus) for you.
I need receipts! I don’t believe you were ever that way. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. https://media2.giphy.com/media/4acV7J7j9MqC0ZKHjK/giphy.gif
Agreed! You can do all of that yourself. You don’t want to be out here with a time waster and someone you could really connect with winds up seeing you on that fake date and mistakenly thinks you’re unavailable. Don’t-take-that-risk!
Leave them to carry on the slave master mind control. Their God is the same God of the people who oppressed them.
Aww thanks for that. Just stating what I believe.
I’m the complete opposite. Didn’t grow up in church but went and it was not with my parents. God had ahold on my life since day 1 and my life has been hard. Me without my Savior Jesus Christ is me not living
To each it’s own….my struggles ain’t everyone’s.
Pascal Wager: Pascal It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either exists or does not. Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. … Pascal’s Wager was based on the idea of the Christian God, though similar arguments have occurred in other religious tradition
??
He is a prize to her because that’s her husband. What’s good for the goose ain’t good for the gander. I’m sure whoever’s in your life you would want them thinking of you as their prize.
Yuuuup
That’s sad you couldn’t feel complete and at peace without taking hold of dogma.
Pascal’s wager is silly and is an argument made out of fear. And which religion would you live your life based on? There are thousands so the chances are slim that you’d live your life according to the principles of the correct religion.
I said in my opinion. I’m entitled to that just like you are entitled to the wack ass opinion you typed. Bringing my folks into this, who do that? If you don’t like something someone said, keep scrolling. Don’t pick a fight. Broke…how you know that? Don’t PUSH your status on me!!! Troll someone else hater!!!
He’s Not?!
Hopefully you have learned form your mistakes and changed. (If you didn’t don’t tell me…lol)
lmao…he seems like a pushover. I may be wrong but that is what his public image screams to me. (I hope I’m wrong)
I might be the one in this room who could care LESS about this chile and her husband ?
If my life is sad because I believe, trust and have faith in Jesus so be it?????
“You’ll never find…another love like mine…” *sang Lou!*
These kids don’t know what they missed out on…musicians that could actually sing l0l!
You will have that opportunity to ask him face to face when that time comes, or not. Personally I wouldn’t wait, I would ask now. He’s listening.
L0l@ that was 1998 and I just got re-mad!
That’s how most religious folks feel. My hope is one day society won’t have to use fairytales to comfort themselves.
Nope! Can’t ask a non existent entity anything.
!!!!
Uselessness.
Hey, your choice.
Meagan where dem babies gurrll?!?!? ?..lol
Yes, I love being a rational human being. ??
And I love having a relationship with God.
Stawp it! Imma tell ya mama U ackin up in here! https://media3.giphy.com/media/aC45M5Q4D07Pq/giphy.gif
god does not exist.
I wonder what God said to Ciara about laying down/ having a child with Future?!
?
Dude was head of a film studio at SONY Pics. Marriage was a good power play then he got fired ( they say he was too focused on Christian based non profit making movies) … Her career did not benefit…but hey, she does have a God fearing man to love her.
Here you go. Yawn.
Here come the bitter athiests in the comment section. i’ve never seen a group of people so triggered by what they claim isn’t real lol!
they are!
go away!
Ain’t nobody triggered this is comical. And black women look goofy telling the public they had to pray for a man. Do y’all not realize how y’all look?
Sounds very interesting.
I was asking the exact same thang
Right??!!! Always caring about who or what someone else believes in. Need to go and pray to the grass or something.
Oh wow Applebum!
Go worship the grass or something.
I like that…
Stay true to yourself.
Oh My God! I don’t think most men have the balls to admit they haven’t been intimate in 3 years! I’m loving that level of maturity and honesty buddy!
WOW!!!! She was bold! And a tad nuts ????
Im a dude but I feel u..????? ???
That is just how I am ?????
Log off babe…?
Hmmm…he SOUNDS accomplished. What’s wrong else is wrong with him besides being a boring a$$hole?
Smart Girl!
Never want or be jealous of something someone else has, unless you want to go through what they did to get it. I never did, so the green eyed monster never touched my spirit. If it works for them, yeah them. Again, it works for THEM.
Maybe he was those things because YOU didn’t bring to the table the things HE WANTED.
All lies white man molest children on far greater numbers google is your friend and black women are the most educated group in America if your going to spew something at least spew facts also all these whites overdosing on pills heroin and fentanyl must be alternative facts
eyeroll
“They have no children.”
LOL. I can’t with Auntie! Like, what the hell…and why?
All the child molesters, felons, addicts and abusive bums that come to my office for help are white men. Honestly I was surprised because society always made the face of poverty, neglect, unemployment and addiction a minority. Your post is full of lies!
I know, I’m like “whatever, Meagan with an extra ‘a’!” Clearly, Ciara had the better prayer plan because now she has a man and $$$$$.
If you read it she said she didn’t pray for a husband she prayed for growth within herself you just wanted to spew bitter ignorance so again your either not black and trying to portray an angry black woman stereotype or the self hate and mental illness is real and I would understand why you attract mentally ill men you get back what you put out
I know right. I don’t get it. They used to hide being an Atheist but since we are in dark times, they are shouting it out loud everywhere. They’re proud. Lol. I pity them. We will definitely see who’s right in the end. They don’t get it, in the end, IF there’s no God, we believers are still good. And If there’s a God, those nonbelievers are f***ed!
God fearing man? Hmmm ?
????
Agreed!
Typical ignorant black woman
They married each other because she would be good for his career and vice versa. Trust me, the Christian community was shocked when they found out he was dating her. No one understood it until they did. Devon didn’t want to be with a strong woman of God. Dating and marrying Megan worked for everything he wanted to do and is doing; the books, the talks about relationships and marriage etc. And the woman he married had to be a celebrity otherwise his books etc wouldn’t sell the way they do. He knew exactly what he was doing when he chose her.
Married, children etc. Not for Everybody!!! I feel everyone has his/her way of believing or Not. What works for one may not work for someone else. For me, I ask GOD to put me on the path of what He wants for me!!!
Or go through what they are doing to keep it!!!
??
Damn sis you been side eyeing the church since you were 3.
To be honest, most females today are not mentally balanced enough to be a wife or mother. As evidenced by the abysmal marriage rates, especially in the black community..
Ohhhh her career definitely benefitted. She starred in two primetime television shows (that didn’t make it past the first season). She was in Shazam. And we all know she cant act…not really. Similar to Gabrielle Union
Other women also know their role and don’t fall for stupid ish like “I don’t believe in no gender roles”…oh and their older women don’t actively sabotage the younger women who have husbands the way bitter black mommas do their daughters.
No. Most black men lack control of their sexual appetites, lack critical reasoning and logical skills to build a healthy black nation, community, or family. They lack the internal male instinct to build, protect, or provide for his women and children. Which is why the black community has abysmal marriage rates.
And those black men you speak of were raised by whom? I’ll wait….
Other races of men especially white men know their roles as men, and know how to lead, build, protect, provide, problem solve, and produce. The older men don’t actively poison the minds and sabotage the young men by telling them to pump and dump while hollering these hoes ain’t loyal. White and other non black men also tend to not sell drugs to their own community.
You BIG mad.
60 % of Black GIRLS are sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday. ?
I always pray for peace…and I have it. Single with no children and no worries. Not worrying about a man cheating, beating, or DLin’. This a cold world we living in…so if a man isn’t bringing me peace at these times, he can stay away.
I’d rather worship myself.
That’s real talk..
Black men molests rape and murder black women and children the most. I’m not white. I’m not worried about the white community, are you?
Facts!
They are usually raised by their single black mothers who were forced to raise them the best they could alone because black men routinely walk out on their children. Just like they do white women, Asian women, and Hispanic women. 92% of Black men’s BIRACIAL children are out of wedlock and 88% on welfare. Black men married to white women have the highest divorce rate in the country. I see a trend. Black men are the problem. Are you really going to blame black women for why black men have yet to build a black advanced civilization without the help from men of other races now? Pathetic. ?
Respect. Stay open for love. God made us to love and be ??. Until such time.. respect you stance
unfsir And unbalance statement
So what’s a girl to do if they don’t come? Asking for a friend
I’m puzzled by so-called Christians who pray for cars, spouses, money, etc., ignoring the Bible’s literal instructions as to how to pray, commonly described as the Lord’s Prayer.
U have to be patient with everything. U should never rush or force a process such as finding a soul mate…depends on what you want, u gotta figure that out first..so to meet someone with the same common interests that u have is a great way to start …if a man really wants u he will make time for u…he will make himself available to u …u should never have to chase after him…men can talk and promise u anything but see what his actions are, that will tell u everything u need to know…
Oh, I haven’t given up on love. People make relationships the fore of their existence. I’m just one of few women who’s not “waiting to be chose”. Timing is everything. My life doesn’t stop because I’m single. I’m too busy living. Hopefully my future mate is out here making moves too. I am a firm believer in God’s timing…He supplies all my needs when it’s needed.
False I’m in a happy healthy relationship with a black man who owns his own business whose never put his hands on either me or our children your the one whi can’t seem to find a good black man because your not a good black woman your mentally ill so you attract mentally ill so I think your the ine whose mad ah no black good black man wants me so now your bitter I’m getting dehydrated just conversing with you from all the saltiness you spew
Don’t need to worry about white men I have a good black one but thanks for being concerned
This person is reprobate. Don’t even waste your time. Was exposed a while ago.
Thank you
Even then, its random chance as to any particular person. Small decisions can have huge consequences the further down the road you get.
Living one place, as opposed to another. Working this job, instead of that one. Stopping at a grocery store on a Friday instead of a Saturday.
Sorry, it’s something about DeVon & Meagan I just don’t buy.
I’m the same way!!
I was just lucky or i would be single in this life as people don’t even have to open their mouth for me to “vibe” dem, their energy and their spirit so I get exactly what you saying. Lucky me and mine grow up together since age 10. We share similar values system and moral compass from foundation and we try to pass on to our kids. The best and most important part is we LIKE each and still enjoy each other’s company after all these years. We grand parents to 5 now
Maybe. But I doubt it. ? ?

I can’t Meagan NoGood. She used to disgust me walking around using pantyhouse tights as pants and smoking cigarettes. Then she tatted on those eyebrows looking like two leeches and marries a pastor who appears to be all about the show up and glow up.
That is awesome to hear. I want longevity like my parents 50+ years. Love is a beautiful thing when it’s true. Wishing y’all many years to come.
Also, say ” make it good and correct for me no harm or accident”
If I decide to ever get married again, I will ask for my “til death do us part” husband, lol.
Meagan prayed for growth and Ciarra
prayed for something else. I may pray for the sun and you may pray for the moon or not pray at all. Everyone has a right to pray for what they want. The hate they give these two women has become toxic. Even though people can pretend, DeVon and Russell always seem happy with their women and these couples seem to be hanging in there when we know marriage can be tough. Kudos to them!
Cut it out. I tire of this fake non belief you so vehemently declare.
You know full well that He exists. You CHOOSE not to acknowledge Him. He gave you that very right.
What’s so telling about you is your mockery of those that do. What’s even more telling is that you wish everyone else were non believers too.
Why? Because Believers, their Faith and their Love for the God that you abandoned will always expose your ill fated rebellion… otherwise, you’d be able to disbelieve in peace. You aint the only atheist in the Garden but they let others express their faith without making an azz of themselves.
You aint no atheist honey. And that’s because He’s still knocking. You can deny it here all you want, but He’s still speaking to you. Hopefully, one day soon, you will get over yourself and Answer.
I’m sure you will respond, but I’m done.
LMAO!
I believe what you chase runs away, but what you pay no attention to draws closer to you. I won’t say F* it, but I’m doing me…building my portfolio and becoming an excellent asset/partner. Women always pray for a husband, but forget to pray to be the woman that the man needs. You can’t blame TMH.
They are a gorgeous looking couple. But I don’t buy a Man of God and Wife married for years and no procreation. I don’t know, I find that odd. Couples can of course choose not to have children but this a Christian Clergy couple. They seem more Hollywood than religious.
Yaaaas!!! What you said.
And the men today?
But Produced by….. waiting!!!
I always say, these Black men Are Not Discriminating!!! And bi-racial children are rapidly increasing. And they are produced by whom…
They better “pray” He is a man.
Right, I wasted alot of time with these kinds. I just count them as lessons learned. It took me longer to learn, But I got it. Better late than never. I prefer earlier though.
it really continues to amaze me that blk people still believe the first man amand woman was named english names–Eve and Adam.THE MOST HI did create the blk woman and man first but not with those names.
I would be ashame to let a man know he has saving power. Russell couldn’t “save” his first marriage. So he couldn’t save Himself.
And the story Didn’t sound right then. Right there sounds like he was putting himself on a different level than her. Yet, Russell had his own problems.
He was self-absorbed and extremely rude to people in service industry positions, e.g ., waiters and cashiers. If the conversation wasn’t about him, he wasn’t interested.
And that’s probably how he get off
Have you considered that maybe they want to procreate but CAN’T?
I don’t know why people are mad at you. I come from a country that has been a war zone for years now. We have been prayed for it but children are still dying, women still raped, etc… I believe in God but some prayers don’t seem to work.
Lmao exactly
That is a bit of revisionist history, isn’t it? Lmao. Black women fail at choosing the right mate. They fail at practicing safe sex which results in unwanted children (80% illegitimacy rate). Black men walk away because they never wanted a committed relationship with you, and the children are unwanted. Black women think that sex+baby=love and commitment. It doesn’t. Men want sex without the commitment and without the baby. If you turn up with one (baby), doesn’t mean you’re entitled to the other (commitment). Black men are choosing to leave because they feel like they’re being manipulated and cheated. As a result, black women are raising at least 80% of community with their overly emotional illogical behavior. Hence why we now have an overpopulation of effeminate men who are overly emotional, catty, petty, and illogical. They’re mirroring the entity that’s raising them: black women. But black women aren’t interested in changing their behavior and they have the audacity to actually view themselves as some sort of modern martyrs smh
I’m agnostic and if there’s indeed a higher power, the number of ppl going on to glory or heaven or wherever, is going to be a very small number. I’m thinking less than a 100k out of billions of ppl lol. So, all the religious and atheists are pretty much in the same boat.
Yes, but those previous generations of yt men were there to pass on the lessons of being leaders, builders, and a support system for their communities. Black ppl have a much different history that begins with slavery and progresses with separatist tactics to prevent unity amongst black men and black women. Welfare, feminism, AIDS, crack, the prison system…. black families are not comparable to yt families. We have had far more obstacles just to retain our families.
Black women reject traditional roles because they view it as some of indentured servitude- and they view feminism as freedom. Hence the “strong woman” archetype that was developed in the 80s, and still continues to be a blueprint for many younger generations. Black women don’t see that their position is more valuable in the home. And now, thanks to feminist wave in the 70s, we no longer have those black men that could lead, protect, and build. Instead, black women have been breeding with weak destitute men and getting on Welfare to raise them. That’s where we are now, 3-4 generations of weak black women who have breeded with weak black men, only to produce one of the weakest generations of our lineage. Our men are the product of weak women, so they’re incapable of competing with the yt men – who have their lineage and communities in tact – as leaders, builders, and providers. Instead we have a bunch of effeminate weak men that would rather be coddled and nurtured than running a household. They’re weak, and it’s indicative of the single woman who raised them.
What exactly do YOU have to bring to the table that a man with options would want to marry?
Child molestations in the black community are under reported. Black ppl try to hide things like this in their communities because they don’t want to intentional put their ppl in jail, and a lot of black ppl blame the victims. Just because you see only yts doesn’t mean blacks aren’t doing it too – it’s just not being reported.

Ignorance at its finest.
And GUESS what? You are 100% on point. Don’t bring ya mess in my life. I learned that the hard way. It’s not worth the damn aggravation! Peace of mind is all that I’m looking for. I’ve had enough of nonsense at this point.
The data show that:
More than four in ten Black women experience physical violence from an intimate partner during their lifetimes. White women, Latinas, and Asian/Pacific Islander women report lower rates.
Black women also experience significantly higher rates of psychological abuse—including humiliation, insults, name-calling, and coercive control—than do women overall.
Sexual violence affects Black women at high rates. More than 20 percent of Black women are raped during their lifetimes—a higher share than among women overall.
Black women face a particularly high risk of being killed at the hands of a man. A 2015 Violence Policy Center study finds that Black women were two and a half times more likely to be murdered by men than their White counterparts. More than nine in ten Black female victims knew their killers.
Here’s what I found on Google:

Didn’t Malcom X say something similar? That the black man is praying to the same God as the yt man tying the noose around his neck… smh
Obviously one would consider that obvious possibility. I commented on a post of my own free will, freedom of speech, and freedom of opinion. As I don’t know for a fact why they have not procreated within their wedlock, I’m honest in my observation that I found it odd that a Man of God and his wife of several years have not procreated.
I’m not religious and I side eye those who are….
I’m agnostic, I believe there’s a higher entity in control… I’m just not a believer in a specific denomination…& I don’t believe in praying for silly stuff like a mate or “growth”. Both will come in their own time. Growth happens when you’re living your life. That’s not something that requires prayer. I will meditate and hope that my positive intentions will bless or improve a loved one circumstances like cancer, sickness, poverty… but “growth”? A man? Lol it seems so silly and ridiculous. People are human and are going to disappoint or disappear when they outlive their usefulness, so why waste energy on praying for a companion?
Ya know what…it’s not worth it ? I’m going to let you have your statement.
Interesting perspectives in these comments, and I like reading all the various thoughts and outlooks.
I pray about everything, all that concerns me, all my cares I cast on the Lord cause He cares for me. His burden is light and His yoke is easy, thanking God for leading me in the way of righteousness and directing my path……
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Matthew 11:28-30 New International Version (NIV)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Just a few scriptures that came to mind.
It all stems back to single parents which goes to blame on both black men and black women , they shouldn’t be the only ones singled out. Believe it or not most people subconsciously are hard wired on how they are raised . This is why children from two parent households live more stable and functioning lives , not saying they are perfect , but they seem to always loop back to forming a family versus a single mother who was raised by a single mother with absent father.
The thing I hate is how people are so willingly dropping babies just because with no reservations, research , work, respect ,’or history to the opposite partner they procreate with. It’s a terrible cycle in our community that doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
Meghan CUT DA SHYT… You caught you good one and held on to his good looking self. You was bout to be a passaround after being caught a few time creeping outa hotels .. you pumped your breaks when you got with ole buddy and NOW YOU TRYNA BRAINWASH AND FOOL THE FOLKS with the pastorial wife’s mumbo jumbo! Pray for better eyebrow contouring while you you tryna cliche that hogwash. You got lucky sis! I ain’t mad atcha! But save the sermon!
?????? pick up some actual books, other than that non reliable dogma, and educate yourself. You people rely on your emotions to get you through life instead of being logical. Cognitive dissonance is not cute and is quite dangerous. Grow up.
ooh Gal, someone on tv JUST uttered those same words, re ‘wanting a family’ …my neck swiveled towards the tv like ?

*dances ‘blog Auntie’ jig*??
?
He was wrong because it takes two to tango and blame goes on both man and woman and your right , the black slab shouldn’t be singled out especially when most black women uphold there duties as single moms , hopefully this trend in our community that of procreating with just anyone slows down . Like it should Legit be a sad picture and vibe when both the black mother and father ain’t in the pics from birth to baby shower , birth , and first steps. At the end of the day we can’t rape women , it takes for a woman to open her legs willingly for us to seed anyways . Just hope that do better , research , work , and build foundations before bringing a child in the world.
The existence of god. I’ve always been curious and I always asked a bunch of questions. I’ll never forget it-we were in the bathroom and my mom was combing my hair getting me ready for church. I asked her where god came from. She told me he has always been here-that answer was dissatisfactory to me. At 5 something else didn’t make sense-they’d tell us to love our enemies. So I asked my mom if that meant we were supposed to love the devil too-she said no. That didn’t make sense bc he was our enemy too. Children are a blank slate until we choose to press religion on them. We’re all born atheists.
True! But I believe there are several compatible individuals for each person-I don’t believe in a soul mate per say.
Period!
I love proclaiming my atheism. It’s so taboo in the black community. While atheist countries are prospering because they rely on logic, the religious ones yikes!
Yall christians are funny.
Oh I see.
I was with you until you said forced , nobody forces a woman to layup with a dead beat and deadbeats ain’t born overnight . You’d be surprised at what a little History , background , or upbringing check reveals about a person. Not saying that it full proof on where or what a person can end up as , but the screening if the screening process and prerequisites were more thought out then it would reduce the amount of what you consider “ forced single parenting “ And I’m saying the blame and change needs to go on both ends for both the man and woman , but ultimately a man can’t procreate until a woman spreads her legs. Y’all women hold the key and power believe it or not. Pussy holds a lot of power , it pushes life itself , literally , just wish more understood that .
SMH Stop what ? They asked a question and she answered and “ luck”
Luck simply is when opportunity crosses preparation . She probably got what you call “ Lucky “ several times before but wasn’t prepared for it . That’s what she is saying here, she asked for help ,
Improvement and a better her, because it means nothing to meet perfect Best person for you , because if you ain’t in a good place to receive or appreciate a blessing then it means nothing.
Amen
Well said
Then as I got older I had more questions but they were based into me becoming empathetic. In law school we discussed the constitution and the question arose about where religious rights interest with a person’s fundamental rights. So the prof asked me if I thought gays shouldn’t be able to get married because of what the bible says. And I paused and thought about it. I said they should be. And from there I started thinking why would god care what two consenting adults do and brand them abominations but let rapists get away with marrying their victims and paying the family money. I did a deep dive in the bible like it was the constitution and things didn’t add up. The god of the bible was a monster-seemed like he was made in man’s image. So I started studying several other religions to find something that made sense.
Lol
When it comes to creation and how we got here , there is no such thing as logic , if it is then you tell and show us ? I eaches own , what one eats doesn’t make you shit . No need to unscrew someone else’s light bulb to shine reasoning amongst other views.
But religion does affect us here in the united states particularly when it comes to views of “morality”-most prominently being abortion and homosexuality. Separation of church and state is blurred every year and the civil liberties union has to step in often. Religion affects other countries in even more negative ways where even birth control is illegal, divorce by the woman is illegal, woman are believed to not be equal to men, female genitalia mutilation, and the list goes on
Which god sis-Zeus, Allah, Isis, Jesus…there are thousands. Some religions believe in many gods.
I always thought she had good acting chops , just terrible choices in films . Eyes buoy was literally one of the few seriously toned movies where she wasn’t eye candy. Denzel said it best , choose your movies wisely , 1-2 movies can make or break you.
For instance Halle berry didn’t get casted as a main character for one gig and on the same day asked If she could play the drug head fiend in losing Isaiah .
I’m going to suggest to read the works of Stephen Hawking if you have questions about the earth and cosmos. We don’t have all the answers but we try our best to understand and get to them. That’s the difference between being logical and religious.
Your logic requires god to be the god described in the Bible. If that assumption is incorrect, the god you describe might very well punish you for your Christianity.
The thing is I think God aka The creator of us is beyond our reasoning or thinking . The way we think it ought to be may not be on the same frequency that most want to think.
But if you think it ain’t a God , you’re sadly mistaken . The earth , ozone layer , our solar system , the sun , the fact that of the earth a little closer kilometers to 10 ft closet or further from the sun we would freeze or burn .
Ain’t no way in hell, pun not intended that it ain’t a God . Life and earth itself is too intricate to be dismissed as just because.
Lolololol “this is too intricate therefore…god”
So you say other races of men know how to lead and problems solve insinuating that blacks don’t , well I guess that means races or other women know how to choose those men whom you deem as right or better also. You’re putting your foot in your mouth with your venom and rhetoric towards black men .
Yeah, one of my best friends is marrying a woman with no children but all of his side chicks have at least two. They let him come over and have sex hoping he’ll commit but they are nothing more than cattle to him.
Influence comes in all shapes ,
Forms and facets , it ain’t just exclusive to religion and religious people. You act as if there were not wars or drama prior to Christianity.
Why does the belief in God offend sew many people? Secondly, if someone believes in God why challenge or ridicule their beliefs?! I for one is a firm believer in God but I will never chastise non believers. PeriodT?
You’re very typical and even more obvious.
Take care.
Correction: A-typical
Stick to the topic which is the negative affects of religion on society. My claim isn’t that religion is the only negative influence on society however it is one of the most-if not the most influential in society. Religion permeates people’s lives and becomes a heavy part of it to the point where people’s identities and religions are one.
*effects
I know you’re not serious???
what’s wrong with praying for a good man..what’s wrong with going to GOD for blessings, Hope ,Faith and Healing ETC…WHAT KIND OF DEMON FILLED PEOPLE ARE YOU..THAT FIND PRAYING NEGATIVE…i’ve been married 19 years..you think I didn’t pray for a GOOD husband to have our children with and pray for a good life..and I thank GOD for BLESSING me also…who are WE to judge anybody on their relationship with GOD….if you have anything NEGATIVE to say about these two BLACK WOMEN THAT FOUND LOVE THROUGH THEIR FAITH IN GOD….YOU’RE A BUNCH OF JEALOUS HUSSIES AND HEFFERS!
Christ is in every atom of your body. The little light youre gifted to be alive is by grace. You have the opportunity to make more light and never have to live in the flesh under this moon again. There is ‘something’ trying to save you from the hell youre trapped in. That’s not obvious?
Exactly. Their names are really elements. Fire, water, etc. It’s telling you that certain elements created everything. In order to get the true knowledge you must decipher the meaning of each Hebrew letter in their names, or any other words of ancient scripture, etc. That’s how you read hieroglyphics. You cannot get instruction reading an English translation and the writers of English Bibles know that and do it to mislead and control the masses.

A peace of mind is a beautiful thing.
She was on Wendy show when she was Promoting her movie the intruder, she said it was time and that next year she was going to try?????
After reading a few post some of these HOLIER than thou folks missed a lot of points. IB FOR ONE AN NOT CRITICIZING what she prayed about because FOR READY WHAT YOU PRAY ABOUT IS BETWEEN YOU AND THEE! HER COMMENT about “NOT PRAYING FOR A MAN” but “PRAYING FOR GROWTH” is somehow bashing those that DO PRAY FOR A MAN. Congratulations that she got her a good man. I personally love to see good black happy compatability. I like Ms Megan but she acting like PRAYING FOR A MAN is not what snagged her man. They appear happy and enjoying it all. SHE WAS KEPT HER CREEPING ON THE LOW AND SOON AFTER SHE GOT CAUGHT CREEPING WITH JAMIE FOX COMING FROM A HOTEL her Lil freak cover was blown and she got blessed with a a seemingly good man who adores her. Hey comment was a digb as if she wasn’t BLESSED WITH A GOOD MAN BECAUSE OF HER PRAYERS…. SAVE THAT SHYT BEFORE all her Lil booty calls get exposed!
Marriage, being a parent, GF/BF is not for everyone, if that’s your way of having peace in this world live in that and let no one tell you differently, myself on he other hand 35 black female married to a black king for 14 years yes I married really young lol our two daughters are our world, the only thing that I worry about as being a parent is this cruel ass world, you want to protect them from harm and just put them in a bubble? again being a parent or being someone’s wife or husband isn’t for everyone! And no one has the right to judge how someone choose to live their life!
Thanks for the compliment I’m too blessed to be stressed and that’s because of my black husband too bad your your another whose so screwed up that your partner’s are too so again just like the last person your the common denominator
Alaska has the highest level of domestic violence and domestic murders and thats white and native men not black read real news you’ll learn something
Ironically negativity is as subjective as your reasoning for not relating to religion compared to your constituents of human race in a whole.
Lol steph Hawkins was axed if he could go back In time and interview any person , his choice was Marilyn Monroe out of all people . You want me to read up on a guy with that depth of a mindset , no Thank you.
Oh My at this comment section. I always say anyone can get married. In my opinion, the real accomplishment is marrying the man or woman God created for you, which is rare. Most people settle and never marry the person who is truly intended for them. The reasons vary. That’s why I believe most married people I know aren’t happy.
When I hear women bragging about having a husband, as if it’s some major accomplishment and acting as if they’re better than single ladies, I shake my head. I totally get what Meagan was trying to say. But I think the most important thing is praying to be the best person you can be. Everything else will fall into place. Including finding a husband or wife if that’s what your heart desires.
Atheist need a purpose and an antagonist in order to be relevent. There. Every good story needs these things…..im tired trying to figure out why nonbelievers just cant just NOT believe in anything and live their best life. But dont let me say grace, or thank God or say God bless you. Everything they stand for is offended….chile. i used to ask the same question….they will be ok! I accepted it for what it was …
Chile you shoukd see a Ciara post. This is nothing! Black women arent supposed to be happily married or happy
Spirituality doesn’t equate to Christianity. As you’ve stated there are many gods.
One’s belief in an ethereal being that permeates this universe is older than Christianity and other Abrahamic religions.
And in between that logic and religion is spirituality. Tis why there are so many world dogmas. Spirituality joins science and mysticism.
Have you seen American Gods?
You might like that show! I believe it’s on Hulu or Prime.
Do you believe in ancestral reverence? The practice of praying and speaking with your ancestral lineage.
So why can’t the science of these things reflect God/Divine/Ethereal?
You’re incredibly misinformed.
I mean, that’s what they say.
Tell em girl! They make such a beautiful couple.
Why are women attacking Megan for being married and not having children? How do you know what’s going on in their household? Some women actually have a very difficult time carrying children and procreating. That’s not a crime. God will bless what he chooses to bless. We don’t know their situation and can’t judge. And best believe, some of you chicks that have been on birth control since 15 and/or have had every std under the sun, may end up dealing with fertility issues at some point in life. Be sensitive to others’ issues and stop judging. We all have our own paths.
Why are you so concerned though is my question??? Are you going to propose? ? FOH I don’t need to prove anything to a faceless commenter to validate who I am and what I have. Lol Besides, if I tell you….I’m lying….if I don’t, then you’ll assume what you want.
And since you don’t mean much to me, I’ll let you partake on the latter. ?
I just asked a simple question. You want to get married. What are you bring to the table?
Meh.. To each his/her own. May God Bless your Marriage Sis! Me thinks there are some lonely, and bitter heffers around these parts. Sheesh!
It’s to hot to be out here judging. Go my black and beautiful sistah pray in your way. https://media2.giphy.com/media/149R89yoMrIFgI/giphy.gif
I’m sorry, the same to be said for men
I hope you have no children spewing that bullshit.
Or a Handler.?
White women and other races aren’t least likely to report theses crimes
I can’t stand so called” black people”, who use this site as a platform to spew pure hate about black men, single black mothers, the black community in general. Shit is disgusting. Want to come off as informed, ” woke”, and educated. Gtfoh. I believe you are what you hate
The illegitimacy rate tells me you already have them ?????
The data doesn’t lie; you can’t call everything bullshit just because you’re too childlike to understand it
1. Prayer and Spirituality is Individualized (Do You!).
2. Married or Single, Rich or Poor, we all have the SAME JOB, and that is regulating and navigating our humanness (mind, health, fulfillment and joy), and humanity (mutual respect).
3. EVERY PERSON GETS A LOT IN LIFE, and yours is as GRAND as anyone else’s because look at Justin Bieber (among many)!
Megan answered a question that she’s been talking about for awhile (promoting their couple’s book), so it wasn’t a diss to Ciara.
And, I agree because marriage is so all-consuming, and even with the best intentions, marriages fail! Personal Growth may give you a different outcome or being just fine w/o a spouse, or being single!
Because the evidence isn’t there.
Humans created god(s) as an explanation to things they did not understand. Now we have some tools and more knowledge to have a proper understanding.
I disagree. I put all supernatural thinking in the same box: irrational.
Whew chile the ghetto! Stay willfully ignorant. The man was a well accomplished physicist whose legacy speaks for itself.
what does that add to this discussion? Nevermind. ?????
Lies lies lies. You can stop peddling that bullshit to me. Life is AMAZING. I’m sorry you feel as though it is hell.
Will repost, thanks!!! Great points,
So you’re implying that all Christian couples should want to have children/or have children? I think that is the most absurd thing I have ever read.
Thanks!
Yet Atheists arent the ones going door to door to try to shove their beliefs down others’ throats. Atheists arent leaving flyers on people’s windshields. Atheists arent standing outside Planned Parenthood harrassing women about their choices. Your argument needs work.
You just want atheists to be silent because you dont want us pointing out how stupid Christian logic is. You worship a magical wizard who is merciful and loving but allegedly sends people to hell for not believing he exists when quite frankly he has given them no reason to believe he exists…..So there is that.
AND ALL CHRISTIANS are not doing this. Why is this always atheist argument. This is no different from someone putting an advertisement to a club on your car window with big booty girls on it. Simple fix, throw the damn advertisement away or dont answer the damn door. But no yawl mfers always wanna find a reason to argue. ….and you need jesus! Get a life you souless, spiritless, confused bum!
I’ll ask God for forgiveness later…..this was lite!
Yep, equipped with a husband and a job. A family. Something you will never understand
Childlike? Coming from a misinformed hate spewer. You seem to be so full of shit I can’t imagine you love yourself
Thanks! Marriage isn’t easy, but we work hard to keep the fire burning in our lives. Before my husband and I met, we were both working on ourselves.
Thanks! I don’t know how I blocked that person. I must have hit the wrong key.
I don’t see how people agree about a non existent entity that they don’t believe in. Thanks for informing me, I guess I accidentally blocked this person on purpose. Whew!
This is why I tell people that Russell saved Ciara. She was literally a damsel in distress. Saving her, does not mean marry her. All he did was cover her wounds, she’s still infected
Exactly.
I use the Holy Written Scriptures to help me with my life. They work. I do not own a time machine.
No need to understand what I already have lol ?????
We all have different prayers…
We pray from our hearts!
Prayers are private and personal!
Im kind’a giving Megan the side-eye for that. I feel like she tried to shoot Ciara down with that. Both prayers are good ideas one is no better than the other.
What does “keep a man” mean? The only difference between a woman who can “keep” a man and one who appears to be unable to, is one will tolerate things to keep him that the next woman won’t. Almost every woman I know that talks about “keeping s man” has been cheated on numerous times but chose to stay to “keep” a man.
I think both Meagzn and Ciara have beautiful marriages. Whatever they prayed for, seem to be working for them because they both appear to be genuinely happily married. ?
At the end of the day we can either chose to let LOVE into our hearts, which will inadvertently allow our LIGHT to shine and with that an abundance of POSITIVE ENERGY shall follow suit! I’m a firm believer that we as humans have the ability to change and evolve and with that comes higher thinking and the innateness/ desire to want to share our lives with someone like minded. #LawofAttraction
