Thank you guys so much! This video has me a little nervous because it’s just not normal for people to be putting their marriage on display like this but I feel like there’s a bigger picture in all this and I’m just glad it’s helping and at least encouraging people, the comments you guys are leaving are really blessing meee! 🥹❤️ (and Jonathan as he scrolls through to make sure no one is being mean to me 😂😂)
This was a lot of fun to watch. As a married woman of 21 years I have to say that Sex gets better with time. As you grow together your intimacy grows and pleasing each other comes naturally and easy. I hope you too keep smiling throughout your lifetime. Continue to keep God first and sacrifice for each other and no matter what happens it will be easier with your team.🥰
You guys are so cute....I love Jonathan's mature responses. He sounds like he's ready to preach! Someone give him a Bible and a Pulpit 😅. Jess thanks for always keeping it real 💯. May God continue to Bless your marriage.
At almost 6 years married, my husband and I don't have any dedicated joint bank accounts. We are aware of what each other makes and saves and have access to each other's account (minus my vex money). We each are responsible for certain bills and we save separately. I am frugal fran and like to spend time at home, do cheap activities and stash the coins. Then, I splurge on a handful of things for US per year. My hubs like to socialize or be outdoors and when he is in the moment it's, "babe, let's do this or that. It only cost $50, $100..." As you know, this can add up. If we had joint savings, he would feel too comfortable about us having a decent cushion!! And if he was like me, we would never do much because all I would do is work, save, invest save save.This has worked out for us. I remember one time he was quaking because his entertainment savings was low and he wanted to do a trip!! And frugal fran was able to come through for her man!!! Similarly, I really wanted a particular bag and could not bring myself to buy it. That bag showed up and I use it every day!!! I love that you guys find what works for you!! That is what we learnt and what we do. We take advice but ultimately do what works for us. Congratulations on your first year of marriage!!
I really loved when Jonathan spoke about the submissive thing and what else the Bible says because NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE REST OF IT 😂😂 People conveniently leave that part out lol I turned the volume up soooo loud so my boyfriend heard that part lol (he’s great but I like being right haha). But this was a good video and happy anniversary!
I like the openness and the willingness to say out loud what your stumbling blocks were. Whew Chile marriage definitely ain’t for the weak, but it is rewarding all at the same time , especially when you’re with who you’re supposed to be with. Happy Anniversary.
I’m a new married couple as well. Never compare your man to anyone. Also, try not to tit for tat or constantly complain about what he didn’t do right. Instead tell him what you would’ve liked instead. Ex: “Babe, I was really looking forward to seeing you and us both being excited to see each other and my hair, I was disappointed that didn’t happen.” We also believe it’s good to balance maintaining each others individuality and time together. I really like how Jonathan added on to submitting to each other because you’re a unit. Yes it says submit to your husband but we can’t all hyper focus on one verse we have to look at all the verses and how they come together as a whole for the bigger picture
Jesssss, you got yourself an amazing husband!!!!! Jonathan answers speak Christianity!!! This goes to say, marry a man that loves Jesus! I enjoyed this and didn’t want it to end😩
Awe Jess I am so happy for you. I started watching your channel when you had red hair and lived with your parents. You are such a beautiful person inside and out.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. I’m a extra introvert so I’m not going to write all of my feelings and commenting was hard enough but I think yall are great 😂. Praying for continued Blessings over your lives 🙏🏽🥰
no literally im shocked, not even with just me but my other friends who are still getting asked too it blows my mind like at this point people people dont understand that its an inappropriate topic have to be living under a rock because how have you not seen or heard someone gettin cussed out over this already lol
Jess looks like a doll! She is so pretty! 🖤🖤🖤 This was cute! Remember as long as y’all communicate, and keep each other first you will be ok! 🖤🖤🖤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It’s such a blessing to see a young black married couple be real and you two gave some wonderful answers to all the questions I love watching you together I appreciate the fact that you include your hubby in your content love it love you Jess thank you sis 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You're welcome. Watched the whole way through. Very insightful and entertaining. Also, didn't know u guys were in Florida. Love from Ft. Lauderdale. Great video!
It's Jess telling Jonathan he's not hip when she's older 🤣🤣🤣 I'm sitting here watching and feeling like y'all are my cousins 🥲 I love y'all so much. Cheers to many more happy times 🥂💫
I am so proud of you all… I believe the reason why you all so productive in marriage is because of relationships with God and your perspective ❤ You all rock and I’m super proud of your love and support of each other!!! #Blessed #FriendshipEnhanced
Y’all made me think about literally dying to self in my current relationship with Christ alone, not even married yet. 🥴 Jess you are so gorgeous sis, physically and spiritually!! 🥴😍😍😍😍
I always enjoy you guys together ! The love that you have for each other just shines through 💕 The snapped comment 😂😭😭 Praying that your marriage is continuously blessed ! Him singing at the end is me every video 😂
Lol thank you sis!! Did you watch that show too, I used to watch it with my mom but I had to stop because at night time I would be scared.. at my big age 😂😂
Heavy on the "sometimes you just gotta go to bed"... Cause baby, you know I love you and I know you love me, let's just talk about it more in the morning. And I strongly believe rest can bring clarity, even to anger. ❤
Now I agree changing to a more private setting when it comes to kids. That really makes you vulnerable and more sensitive. The internet can be a dangerous and ugly environment so yea PROTECT YOUR KIDS hat ever gut feeling about safety take it
Jessica!! We need to stop meeting like this cause you post every time I’m ready to watch a new OnlyOneJess video😭?!?!?! Are you reading my mind?! 🤔 💖💖💖
Man, I'm not even done with the video yet but all I can say is that my standards have shot through the roof. This is what I desire! A God centered union and I won't settle for anything less 🙌
not me tearing up like i know y'all 🥲 i just love the honesty! y'all radiate God and your love for each other so effortlessly and i know that's because of sacrifice and work before the Jess and Jonathan we see today. y'all are (actually) one of my favorite couples to watch. you make me excited to get married and your honesty and transparency is helping me in my waiting for my person.
😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you so much! There was definitely A LOT of work put in, I really wish we could tell y’all the FULL story of the mess we had right before we started dating, literally there was no hope in sight and we just found out that there were people taking bets on our relationship that we wouldn’t make it 😂 BUT GOD is all I can say at this point 😂
Thank you guys so much for your openness and vulnerability 🙏🏽 you don’t see too many Q&A videos of couples truly being open and real and it’s appreciated. May the good Lord continue to cover, bless and strengthen your union! ❤️
Jessssssss!!! The way I hollered when you said “have you ever seen the show snapped?” 😂😂😂 I have a feeling Jonathan is gonna come in a couple days and say “you know I was upset w you/you hurt my feelings the other day” 😅😂😂 You two are so funny. May God continue to bless your marriage.
Hii Jess i really like you guys honestly you made me cry because I am not doing a good job as my husband wife ....so thanks for the encouragement and God bless you guys ❤
You guys are soo wholesome I almost creid!!! I feel like we're friends! I smiled alllll the way through! Informative, entertaining. YES! I had soooo much fun watching this!!!
Loved this! Perfect example of needing to be graced for your partner. Would love to hear and see Johnathan's perspective a bit more when it comes to shared experiences as he's such a gentleman in falling back so you can shine more. He's going to change a generation of husbands and fathers with his mature responses and Godly views! Praying greater sights and newer heights in your marriage!
Jess...I can't believe you aren't a Sagittarius...because MAN you sound JUST LIKE ME through the entire video 😂 Marriage is beautiful but it gets rocky trying to "become one". The part where you said you felt unappreciated because he didnt say anything about your hair had me on the floor because that sounds like ME. Like boy, COME ON you better love on me EVERYTIME you see me and appreciate what God put in front of you 😂 I love yaw, every answer you guys gave is normal. Ive been married 5 years. Been there. You guys are doing great. I also have had a hard time accepting the weight gain as we REALLY become women (i'll be 30 this year) and our bodies change. I kept getting stuck on being tiny as I was all through my early 20s. I finally lost about 23 pounds, got 7 more to go. I learned, if YOU dont like it, you have to start working on it now. Dont wait until youre extremely uncomfortable with it then get sad or depressed. Youre beautiful regardless of the weight gain, it actually looks nice on you sis but if you dont like it just actively work to change it. Jonathan is very level headed to be his age. Im so happy for you both.
Lolll I’m a Capricorn but we sound like we’re on the same page sis 😂 I DONT CARE if you told me over the phone you see my in person now you better say it again and with the same exact enthusiasm 😂😂😂 but I’m please sis spill the tea on the weight gain. I just want to lose it in my stomach and my back lol thank you for this comment 🥰❤️
@@OnlyOneJess Darn it 😂 well either way it goes, it explains why I've enjoyed your channel for so long lol As far as the weight loss- work out 3-4 days per week. Hour jog/walk, stomach exercises, push ups and glute work outs on what ever day you feel like doing each and I fasted for a week. I only ate once every 24 hours, usually around 8/9pm. I'm a "love to eat" type, so when I'd feel like I was about to cave, I'd eat fruit, crackers, small things to satisfy my craving but wouldn't make me feel heavy. Stomach work outs, glute work outs for at least 30 minutes to an hour). It's easy to do. When you watch TV- work out too.
You know what's funny about the clean situation. Jess has a few videos on how messy her room was at her parents house. And her mess at her apartments....😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Why don’t my husband and I know y’all?! What the heck. Definitely would love to meet you guys ❤ Theres not a lot of us out here! (Young, saved & married) in MIAMI at that 😂😂
I understand that, but let’s be real we try our BEST to follow every single guideline in the Bible but sometimes our flesh takes over. We’re not perfect so sometimes we go to bed angry 😂
I love you guys please be careful what you share with us. Jess and Johnathan everyone is nor happy for you guys. And they will use the information you give them to try and mess up your union! I been on your journey for where you are now and I want the best for you too. Love you both!
Thank you loveee! And I know I know I cut half the argument segment out cuz I was like oh nah we sharing too much but people are always going to find something to be negative about even if we only shared the good parts. But sharing only the good parts doesn’t help people, we staying prayed up over here though 🥰❤️❤️ we love y’all 😭🤍
You guys are so precious!! Love your relationship ❤ also love the level of maturity you have to understand how communication is key to how you’re growing together ❤❤
definitely wasn't a stupid argument. i think most big arguments start with little things that pile up when our partners don't respond the way we want them to. so don't feel bad!
This motivates me to move out on my own before meeting and marrying my husband, ignoring the advice of waiting till marriage to move out. God bless your marriage!❤
I was 3 months shy of my 23 birthday when I met my husband. Married a year later. We both were in the Army. We really knew nothing about each other. I wish I had someone like you guys to show me what we should’ve done. You two can teach by experience.
Yasssss - I loved watching this... The bond between you both, remind me of my partner and I ❤ I'm engaged and getting married next year... I've lived with my partner for 7 years, we pretty much married ..😂 so I'm just excited for it to be OFFICIAL OFFICIAL.. Ps. We were in south Florida 3 years ago and loved it, we're from the UK 😜
I love both of you so much 🥰❤️ Jess, thank you for warning other women to never compare their man to others and for taking correction immediately 🤗❤️ May the Almighty God continue to uphold your beautiful home ijn 🙏🏾❤️
Yea that’s my biggest tip ladies! Because first of all everything is definitely not what it seems so we don’t even really know what we’re comparing our situation to. Thank you so much! 🤍🤍
im not controlling he just dont like when i have to remind him to pick up his socks or take out the trash since no one was making him do those things before lol there is a difference
Omg i love you guys ♥️ and i absolutely agree with you both about when people say something about weight. It most definitely can cause a major problem. Continue being the way y'all are! Congratulations too you both and happy 1 year anniversary 🥰
Jess loved this marriage update! I love how you and Jonathan reflected on the small mistakes on your marriage and how to improve them. It’s always good to self reflect. Jonathan’s answers were very mature and thought provoking. Loved how he addressed the comment section, that shows he’s a good protector. May your marriage be forever blessed and y’all’s love continue to grow and flourish! ❤❤❤ My husband doesn’t like to kiss me when I have lipgloss on either, lol.
I just ❤ you guys me and my hubby have been together for 30 years married 20 and you guys remind me of us especially when you said " you know I was upset with you last night" 😅😂 marriage is a beautiful thing💞💞
You two are so beautiful it's bursting my heart full of joy 😊 You have no idea how happy i am yo see a marriage based on God! I love Yall so so much yall are just so beautiful together May God continue to bless your union 💗
I was not gonna watch this video and something made me click and chile… maybe it was God trying to restore my faith in marriage lol. If y’all do a 10 year update and y’all still this cute and smiley, I promise to give the dating thing a try lol 😂😂😂 But on a serious note you all make a beautiful couple. God bless y’all!
