He Said He Knew She Was His Wife At 12 Years Old | Dear Future Wifey S.5, E503 

MY wife and I moved from a 2 br apartment to a 4 br 3 full bath brand new home in 2001 and had to rent it out due to job loss in 2003 and I felt like a failure and my wife responded with excitement. I was floored I asked your not upset we just got the home and we are moving back into an apartment ? Her response was I like the weather there better. It motivated me more than anything to get her back into a home as I felt she deserved the world afterwards. We have been married for 30 years come Jan 2023 and another woman would ever be able to catch my eye as she has me as long as she will have me.

This man is so engaged. I love how he is leading the conversation, most times it's women giving most of the details. I love how men on this podcast have so much to contribute to the conversation. Healthy men communicate well. 😇🥰

"If hard hearts cause divorce, then healed hearts must be those other marriages"

The fact he remembered their first date (month,day,year)and the movie they went to go see is so beautiful. ❤😊

Awesome interview! I knew at 13 that my husband today would be my husband. Married at 18 and been married for 43 years. God is good!

This is so beautiful!! He is so in love with his wife! It’s so visible!❤️My parents been married for 51 years and in my lifetime I can only recall them having one argument. A argument that I woke up too as a child. And this is not to say that they didn’t argue but they made it a point not to argue in front of their children. They fought to stay together! Rising 8 children, underlined health conditions, and now my mom has dementia but there still together! I’m encouraged! Marriage is honorable in all and the bed is undefiled!

Awww....my granddaddy was 12 when he told my grandmother he was going to marry her. She was 9 years old. They were married for 60 years. Got married when she was 18 and he was 21. He succumbed to cancer 3 months after their 60th anniversary. They were so in love. He would grab her booty in front of us as soon as he came in the house and call her his "Brown Sugar." We would be like, "Uggghhh!!!" when we were kids.🤭

I like when he said "we have been together 47 years and there are still things we can`t say to each other". That level of honesty is soooo helpful.

This statement hits me differently " I love sitting at the feet of wisdom" already this sets the tone for the rest of the session. Loved it.

Not only is this podcast a miracle that ignites hope, you King are the miracle that gives us women hope to believe that real men of God do exist. Thank you for another beautiful episode.

I tried to tell my boyfriend how we as women know which woman would try something with him.. I really hope men listen to this podcast. It’s not rebuke, it’s correction and warning from a loving place

BEAUTIFUL 🥰 I have ALWAYS believed when a man meets his wife ...he just knows. It was the same thing with my dad. He knew my mom was the one at 11 or 12. My parents were together until my dad went on to be with the Lord. I want that kind of love.... always have....still do. Amen.

As a 30 year old waiting for my husband, this definitely blessed me and planted a seed of hope, that things will work out if you put your faith and trust and God to see you through life’s storms. And some days you’ll want to walk away, but If you hold on to Jesus, He’ll make things new. ❤

My grand father saw my granny when she was 14 and he was 24 (in the early 1930s) while he was home for a visit from the Navy.. He said he saw her and she took his breath away... he had traveled all over the world and never saw something so beautiful.. he paid his friend's one week salary to let him delivery milk to my Granny's house.. she wouldn't pay him no mind so he paid dude for a month cause he meant he was gone marry her..he thougt he was the best and only deserved the best and when he looked at her and listened to her speak she represented the best of himself that he had yet to see...And he NEEDED to see his greatest self..because he was his ONLY competition but he knew there was more...they married when she was 18 and he was 28 and they were together for over 65 years... til death did them part... and he was the first black A LOT of things in our town and he'd say it was because of God and the gift he gave him in her.

Ladies, you know what I find amazing. The woman on his side, does sat anything. She just sits and listens. Amazing! How many of us have that kind of discipline? Watch and learn, ladies.

I love how you have grown with your interviewing skills/ability to create a safe space for authentic conversation 🌸

This is the SWEETEST episode in DFW history! I loooovvvvveeeee this conversation. The fact that he wouldn't "defile" her AND gave her wardrobe triggers/boundaries 🥺

OMG at work in tears this is so good. I have listened to 2 podcast and they have been healing for my heart so far. To hear this Pastor speak is like listening to the dad I have been looking for in my life. Thank you for sharing.

Pastor Calvin needs to publish about about this because it is very encouraging and its helping alot of us it gives me hope

Been waiting for this 1! 2 annointed brothers, one with hopes for future love, one presently in love💪🏾 God Bless all 3 of you for doing this episode and living out God's will for your life❣️

She's so meek and humble in demeanor. Learned tons just through her disposition ❤❤

The HONESTY that he gave her AND RESPECT that this man has for his WIFE… 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I loved when he actually offered a tissue because it brought him to tears as he recounted the story of her unbuttoning her pink blouse and her saying, she thought it would happen different than this! And how he stopped his fleshly gratification until the time was comfortable for him and his Bride. He tearedd up like it happened yesterday! But if it had, it might of caused a rift in their Union today if she felt defiled in any way. The most powerful moment coming from her when she stayed the course through bankruptcy was when she said, "Help me to see!" Wow!!! It takes two people loving Him because He never promised a life of comfort or convenience. And recognizing the gift of the other as a gift from God so that u not only choose each other but prefer one another because you can lose it at any time, even by death, let alone divorce or separation.

Off the charts! Marital relationships are God's tools for us to heal each other in our hurt places. Selah!

When my dad told my mom he was going to marry her...she was 8 or 9... she ran from him for years 😂. I'm glad he caught her. Her mom died when she was 15 and my dad was away in the U.S. Air Force. When he came back home... they ran into each other at the store. He took his mom and auntie, and my mom's little sister kept bugging her to take her to the store that day. Long story short ..that was their reconnection.

This was an amazing episode. Being married 34 years and today I learned more of how we can still be better!

Laterras this man is sooo humble and LIT. He brought me to tears in his delivery. I totally enjoyed this episode. Continue doing good by these podcast. Jamaica 67 yrs.

I love this! She is an absolutely sweet and graceful lady! Thank you Mr Calvin and Mrs Alise for sharing your story with us.

Your transparency and unapologetic authentic way you give it to us is EVERYTHING!!! Pastor Cal and Aliss are such a BLESSING.

This was a master class, cleaning/clearing the heart from your hurt, transparency in your relationship, and we in this together makes hard time easier when we know we are as one are a few things I take away from this. Forever can be a fairytale if you believe, trust, and keeping trying through a relationship with God and the genuine relationship with each other.

This is absolutely needed! We need to hear from wisdom more often.

The way she nodded while he confessed the weakness of his flesh, looking straight at him as to say 'it's OK' ... did it for me. ❤ And how he loved her enough to let her keep her purity... selfless act❤. Cause she gave in because she loved him. *beautiful* hearts🙌🏾 Wow! The miracle part is so spot on! We now believe that's it's possible. Not just love, but faith! There's honest people who love the Lord and their chosen spouses. We've been brought back to life if ever we were doubting! 🙌🏾🙌🏾💯 Praise God!

I am learning so much about what i want in a marriage. The honeymoon never ends and it's not all about sex. Helping each other heal is a never ending honeymoon. 🙏🙏🙏

Another awesome episode, it takes another level of submission to see things falling apart around you and look to your husband and say help me to see. Beautiful 😍

Revelation, wow. Intentionally dying to self, and releasing my wants... to have my hands free to bandage, massage, apply healing balm to HIS wounded places. In service to God. Not using your two hands to try to mold a man into the image you want, or who you told yourself he was when you met. But in true servitude and obedience to the Father. Who called you to do so in the 1st place. That requires an actual relationship with the Father, a willingness to serve, and a intimate knowledge of the Father's voice and Word. Wow. And while I knew that in a way, something about how it was presented hit different. Charis and Shalom ❤️

I miss this kind of love. I remember when you knew someone was sincerely interested in you. I knew we would miss it one day. I miss the kind of heart this man has for his wife (from men). When things are plentiful and easy to access it is not appreciated as much.

This episode has truly blessed me !! It brings you back & to present of relationships rarely seen !! Thank you 🙏🏽

God is demonstrating that he has and is still raising up WORLD CHANGERS! WOW!!

The confirmation keeps coming. I have the one. I backed away from him for a month early in the dating stage because I felt it was too easy. God is still amazing me and proving his word. Can't wait to take this adventure with the one IN CHRIST. God bless you and keep you.

💜This is by far my favorite episode ! Beautiful, just beautiful. I got goosebumps lol

'How can last forever? Is you make sure you understand that it can be taken from you at any moment' Is my takeaway and this has been like therapy. Beautiful love

This episode just changed my life in such a good way. Thank you for this series!!!❤

I loved this couple! So much wisdom packed in this one. I'll have to watch it a couple more times in the future.

Love sitting at the feet of wisdom and experience. Thanks for the change in tempo. But I can’t wait until you bring Ms. Eutropia on!

This podcast is so enlightening, I don't even remember how I stumbled upon it, I've been abstaining from sexual relations for 11 years and been saved and in church for 10, the level of wisdom that comes from Dear Future Wifey podcast is helping me , change my thinking, and grow ,we don't get this in some churches , it's needed and it's Refreshing, WOW, KEEP GOING KING PRESS ON

"Love covers a multitude of sins" - that is profound 🙏

I’m so glad that I clicked on this real interview! I needed every part of this. Such a beautiful couple with so much wisdom! Thank you 🙏🏾❤️

Love this segment Spirit, Body & Soul ...THIS IS REAL .

Another great interview with so many gems. Thank you!

Thank you Laterras for guiding and keeping this conversation on track, I'll leave it at that.

Had to watch again this was wonderful grace you prayed over Pastor Copland his wife and their progress on their podcast .👍🏽

Insightful, impactful, truly a educational lesson ❤️

Thank you for another great episode and a new, mature-love, healing and God-centered podcast to watch. I subscribed. Married 22 years and appreciate experiences I can relate to and learn from. I pray for both you and future wife's healing. ❤💯

I love you guys. You are the real, real. Always a boost to my day...helps center me and manage expectations in my own relationship! Thank you.❤

Thank Pastor Calvin and Lady Aliss for the wisdom. This was so rich.

So often I have to ponder regarding my thoughts after listening to your podcasts. I’m just so grateful to God for you and for your assignment. This episode, this couple, these words were powerful beyond imagination. Thank all of you and God’s continued blessings ❤️

This was so refreshing. Very good episode Good job guys

This one of your best interviews yet keep getting better and better. I hope you keep growing into the man you want your sons see and be.

Gosh … man every single time I need a word… Mr. Whitfield your videos come through I want to thank god for your continued ministry

Awesome and a Blessing to Watch. Thank You🙌🏾🌟

This is a beautiful couple as well as their story. I’m so glad they shared it. I love the story of buttoning the blouse up and his transparency regarding the lifetime struggle with temptation. Also, it touched my heart when his wife asked him to help her see in a tough time. That is a wife. Be blessed and thank you for this episode! #Seraphim

Wonderful podcast always a pleasure and always informative and educating job well done mr wittfield

I fact checked the movies comment ... He was on point! Rocky 3 came out May 28, 1982! June 5th was a Saturday ...Date Night!!! I'm here for the rest of this podcast !!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL, SO ENLIGHTEN BY THIS CONVERSATION, I'M 67 NEVER KNEW THAT TYPE OF DYNAMICS OF MARRIAGE. WHEN YOU HELP HEAL THE OTHER PERSON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PODCAST, GREATFUL FOR THE COUPLE

THIS IS SO SPECIAL! thank you for blessing meeeeee

This is so beautiful and so inspiring!!!

I was serious at ten...start writing to GOD WHAT KIND OF HUSBAND & FATHER I wanted for me and my children..

Beautiful Powerful story.This man has such a heart to minister to the masses...truly LIT!

Powerful!!! Thank you LW, you have a very, very special platform.🙏🙏

Wheeeeew this was a great episode 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 . All these gems on Dear Future wife sooo helpful .

Then men knew at 12 I don't even know at 32. lol.

To find your lifelong love at 12 years old is truly a blessing from God. To still be in love with your spouse, where you can be moved to tears when recalling a memory, is truly a blessing from God. I pray for 30 more years of this precious love for The Copeland's. ❤ Laterras, I wish I had started listening to your podcasts in 2020 but God knows why I started in 2023. I am so blessed by this podcast. It has confirmed a lot of thoughts I have, and it has transformed my mindset. To God be the glory! My faith in God has been strengthened as I see how He is moving in my life. Thank you for being obedient. Beautiful letter!❤

Thank you for another powerful interview. Latteras, we going to show up because you are honest and own it. Appreciate you and blessings 🙏🏼

Wow these contents keeps getting better and better. Pst C needs to put this testimony in a book and a movie. Thanks Laterras another job well executed as always.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

First time hearing this podcast. This is so powerful thank you so much for sharing much needed

Thank you for always being authentic.

Really excellent! Love the transparency.

Your podcast is bringing healing in my heart, my life n my faith. Thank u so much all the way from South Africa

This was so needed!! Whew!👏🏾🔥🙏🏾❤️👍🏾

I loved this episode. Wisdom! Gems! When they said you have to make each other a priority, that's powerful. Do you know the level of security (speaking as a woman) you feel when you know you are a man's priority?! POWERFUL! I'd also like to add to that "best friend." If you are your spouse's best friend and priority, that's a hedge of protection like no other. I want that Copeland Love 💕. Laterras, when you said you gave your ex-wife the letter with the names of every woman and what you did, it was the "whew Lord" for me 😂

I’m just Subscribing today and I’m glad I came across this Podcast. I dreamed about this channel and woke up to it. It’s good to be here. I enjoyed the couple this morning. Blessings.

This was so much wisdom and transparency. This has helped me in so many ways. As I continue to heal and wait. Thank God for this.

The amount of wisdom, transparency and truth in this episode 👏 🙌 👌 🎉👏 Simply Awesome! God's anointing all over The Copelands and Laterras taking it all in!! The encouragement and support of one another to be submissive and open to helping one another through the healing process..... WOW!! THIS was absolutely a Marriage Counseling Session!! Thank you all for the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge poured out!! Another Amazing Episode Laterras!! Thank you all!! 👏👏👏

Great interview! Such wisdom and transparency. Stay in love and may God continue to bless their marriage 🙏💓

I have always loved you two together ♥️I have watched you walk thru some hard times together. I watched you two come to the altar together for prayer. So I prayed for you two also. Love you two to life🙏 So glad this video came across my feed!!!

This is by far the best and most real podcast I have watched so far

Great video, I enjoyed this episode.

This so Amazing I was truly blessed thank you sharing what truly love honesty all about in relationship .

Yes Mr.Copeland healing never ends. Facts.

This was beautiful!!! 💕

Soooo many nuggets dropped I this episode. I love when couples speak on the hard times and how they overcame them. To many people think marriage is just a cake walk. .

I just started watching this episode and I already love, love, love this couple. I love how he keeps it real.

I love, love, love your content; love! My favorite part of all of these episodes though are your letters & your signature; your seal - they are such a window into your heart & mind - their openness and palpable desire to reach your future wifey, and the manner in which you articulate that desire is an example for us all. (Sidebar: Although I feel this is a bit much to put here I am going to be obedient and put it here because I have no other place to put it) Your signature on all of your letters will be spiritually incorporated into your marriage vows and certificate on that blessed day of your next union as discussed by Pastor Copeland. You have been a blessing to so many of us. Thank you, God bless you.

‘It never ends....’ how true, and not just sexually, all the other appetites too! You need to host a panel of elders, probably at the next milestone you want to celebrate; ‘one generation shall praise You to another...’

This blessed my WHOLE soul. I so so so needed this. Thank you

This was awesome. Thanks for sharing ❤

This was such a wholesome episode. I love the transparency and simplicity of the story. 😊❤

I absolutely enjoy this podcast. This is one of my top five favorite. God bless you

This was sooo good ❤️ the episodes are 🔥

Yeees Calvin, remember the date!!! This is wonderful ❤️ Great vlog Laterras, keep sharing stories of love, relationships and Hope❣️✌🏾😁
