I am so very happy to see you both!! You were one of the first people who, many years ago, made me consider RCIA. I am so grateful to be able to say that I have finally answered the call and am planning to get confirmed in 2023. Thank you for being here and coming back - we all missed you!

I love the way Emily looks at Daniël

Speaking from a non-married person perspective, i wanted to summarize the advice in the video. Be stable within yourself and make your connection with your partner high importance. 1) practice conflict resolution. Work on problem solving throughout your life so that when you live with someone who is bound to you for life (and you can’t run away) you can deal with it. 2) create solid healthy/spiritual habits that you can rely on when things get hectic. Create your own stability so that you can be stable/provide when you are married. Yeah, I think the biggest thing people don’t realize is that many people have a lot of emotional things to work on. Being avoidant, shutting people down, etc might work when you only have surface level relationships. (If you get mad at a friend, you don’t necessarily have to stay friends with them) but when you are making the decision to commit to a person, you gotta commit. You have to get through it. If you want to have a happy life, you have to have that stability and not lose yourself in it while also balancing valuing your partner. I’m definitely learning that in my relationship. It’s easy to pull away when things get difficult, but if you want something to last, you have to put a lot into it/support it.

Yay!! So happy to see you back on YouTube

Thank you, Daniel and Emily! Love you both!

love love love this. Thanks Emily and Daniel. :) Praise God for you both!!!

So thankful for you both!

Loved this!! Good stuff to chew on for a little bit and see how you can incorporate that into your everyday life. This is definitely something you will have to watch multiple times to get everything you were talking about. Work on one thing at a time!!! Thank you both of you!!! I appreciate it!!! :)

Welcome back! So happy you two are here. We love hearing two perspectives on any topic that's discussed. Thank you so much. Please come back soon. Take care and may God bless.💛

Your videos are always so timely. God uses you often to confirm what He's been speaking to me. Thank you 💓

Thank you for mentioning in some of your past videos the hard years that y’all went through my husband and I just came out of that now in your realistic sharing of that and marriage was so helpful God bless you both and your family!

Blessings for you both and the little guy

Wonderful advice, for anyone at any stage and in any situation, whether all this is part of a call to holiness or just becoming a mature adult.

Love your videos! Thank you Daniel and Emily 😊🙏

Love this! All the advice is so appreciated! Thank you 🥰💯❤💕

Thank you for your advice. Not only for this video but previous too. I've been watching several videos of yours. I'm pleasantly surprised to find a sister in the Lord although I'm evangelical and you're catholic. God bless you :)

perfect timing!

Hi Emily! I hope you, and yours are doing well! I was wondering if you could talk about the topic: how to live happily as a single woman/man. Debunk the mith that a happy life begins when you get married. Even though I am very well aware of this, I still struggle to implement that into my life. How to live happiness now? Thank you!

The best video ever! I feel the love from both of you! God bless! ~Monika Rodriguez
