Many thanks to The Makhs Snrs for imparting us with such wise words. As a 25 year-old believer, I am only now starting to appreciate the beauty and blessing of being single. I am having the time of my life. I am spending time with God. Fellow believers whom are to be single, take this time and spend it with God. You know that there are broken parts of you that need healing; areas of your life that need to be addressed; your assignment/calling needs to be revealed to you and at often times these things are only revealed in your singleness. You need to be properly tuned/aligned to God by shutting down the noise that comes from social media and society at large. Let God tell you who you are and not the world. Rather take your time instead of rushing things, "speed kills". Remember what Matthew 7:6 says. God bless you.
This came at such a right time in my life!! Been a Christian single for more than 6 years .. and my family have been on my case about finding a person to grow with because I am 27. I even felt a little weird and started telling myself that whatever guy that comes my way I am just going to accept. Having listened to such wisdom, I am glad I can go back to my values and continue to work on myself because I am now 100% convinced that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me. When the time comes I will be ready. Thanks for sharing such wisdom. I am happy that this came at a time where my eyes where now going all over the place, looking for "the one".
Ooh yes, Been there, my 28_30 was soo hard , couldn't believe that this marriage thing was just not happening, it was pressure from Church, Family , Society and myself as well as I also couldn't understand why was I not meeting a right one . Im 33 and still not marriage but I'm sooo grateful that as presured as I was still, somehow God just made sure that I didn't marry any how bcoz definitely I would have choosen a wrong partner for a wrong reason and it would hv ended in real tears . I'm now in a far better state such that even if (God forbit) I were not to marry in life , I would still be fulfilled with life and God (ofcoz two is better than one and should be marrying soon🤪 ) but I'm so over pressure, that stage of pressure do pass shem and you will finally marry right and for a Godly purpose. Society shouldnt pressure people into marriage when there are soo many couples even in the house of God that are failing , depressed and losing it,
@@Kuda_Kwashe yes they are open in one of the instalments they indicated that and on that instalment there are details as well I think it’s an email address if I am right
This is so poignant at my age of 29. But for me the pressure comes from me and social media, that feeling of missing out when I see my friends on their second babies, good careers,supportive husband's, building homes and here I am in a foreign land doing doctoral studies at 29 and single. Fascinatingly my parents constantly remind me to take my time and support my singleness
The topic is "single and satisfied" I just didn't get that today unfortunately. It makes me sad when singleness has to be spoken about in with marrriage in mind, this makes this conversation so problematic. What about those not dating? What if I never get married? What about those who know their worth, who practice self love but still don't get married? What if you ask the right questions and still you are met with disappointment? It's incredibly hard being single as a Christian woman because you are constantly reminded to look forward to marriage and then women sit in their latter years blaming themselves for not being good enough for marriage because they did all the right things and still didn't get married. We forget that married is a gift. And no amount of waiting well guarantees marriage. We need to start honouring singleness in the same way we honour marriage as they are both gifts in their own right.
Big facts!!! With all the respect to the lovely Snrs, and lovely couple... This sounded more like "Single, but preparing for marriage". Maybe the title should be adjusted. We do need more content where singleness is spoken of in isolation from marriage.
One thing about God? His timing is PERFECT!! I watched this podcast at the exact moment that I needed to. Thank you so much for this conversation The Makhs.
In isiZulu, we say "indlela ibuzwa kwabaphambili." Never undermine the advice of the elders. They have walked the journey. In summary, this felt like an episode from the book of Proverbs; filled with wisdom.
I absolutely agree with everything being said. I remember initially when I was single I was constantly feeling lonely and looking for a replacement. I was looking for fulfilment in people. Fast forward to now, I'm actually not even interested in relationships anymore. I'm no longer desperate because I've dealt with myself.
This is exactly what we need to hear, I mean back in the village most individuals don't really understand this type of information, I believe most think it's white men teachings until you hear the kind of nonsense issues or problems married people struggle with, foundational problems which our own leaders, our pastors themselves are not really keen to know. People are married we see but the reality is the marriage is just a status no happiness in it, no God in it.. Like Benjamin Zulu says we only settle for happily single or happily married and I have to say all this needs knowledge cause let's not forget the lack of knowledge is the beginning of stupidity 💐❤️thank you so much for this beautiful and true message.
Hai shame I won't even add to this because wow 😭😭.. Every sentence was a quote on its own.. I've learned, laughed and cried all at the same time. I prophesy that Mama and Papa will be my counsellors when I get married because this wisdom applied will take marriages far... I could listen to them all day... I am not the same person I was when I started listening to this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.. The Makhs y'all are blessed 🙏🏾and a blessing to us. Stay blessed ✨
OMG😭😭😭 This is exactly what I needed🎯. I just got out of a relationship and I knew it was coz of pressure on everyone asking when am I having a child or getting married coz of my age. I love what Dr Makhetha said "You need to get your single status right. 1/2 + 1/2 is not 1". So many of us get into relationships with baggage and bleed on the next person hoping they will fix us. This is indeed a word!!! Thank you very much guys😧😧. This is the content we have signed up for 👌🏽❤❤❤
That's so true, most of us get into relationships with baggage. I think God is talking to me about this. It has been coming up a lot. The other day I was listening an installment with the max about childhood trauma, it is just that, I need to heal first and be complete. Don't be too needy as well, it puts the other person in a ackward position you expect too much from them. Wow
7minutes in and i can already relate so much to this❤️❤️.. i just remembered how content i felt with my singleness, it was nothing I'd ever felt before, free and liberated. i happily believed i was destined for so much peace and sanity n singleness, i had even told my family not to bother me with marriage talks🤣 as i had zero interest to marry.. hehehe little did i know God will bring me my husband 😊 whom i tot was delusional for asking for my hand in marriage 2months into the relationship 🎌.. 3years later we happily married with our lil bundle of joy😍... yooooh guys single life was the best for me shem, best blessing from God😇🙏
"You married hopes"🥺🥺 Character is very important 💯 1.Confiding and giving pin codes for them to get what they want and leave 🥺🥺. 2. Men do their homework and will treat you like a Queen to get under your skin. I can keep on writing, so much wisdom.
Wow, I had so many questions about certain aspects of singleness and when you now engage into a relationship this was really an eye opener for a single 18 year old 😊please bring them back 😭
Bagolo spitting facts only!!! 🔥 I’m in tears watching this... a whole lot of young people really need such wisdom before making the worst mistakes of their lives ♥️
You guys are doing msembenzi wa Jehovah 🔥🔥🔥🔥📍silaaaa, wow yhuuuu, I've been on a path where I just want everything you have been speaking about for my single-ness and you just nailed it further, talk about God confirming your season like "You on the right path child", aowa dankie, rea leboga👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤝🏾Agreed.
Thank you so much for accommodating us singles 🤩🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️I still enjoy all your other marriage episodes, it’s so beautiful to see a young couple like you doing the marriage thing so well; I have two young adult daughters who are getting advice through your lives ❤️I love you and your young family, God bless you 💕
Some people come into relationships looking for love and support they never got from home.... It's so unfair to put your partner onto such a responsibility. My advice is heal your childhood trauma first and seek God. Then worry about finding a partner.
Thank you so much to Mama and Papa. This was really enlightening. We appreciate you and love you. ❤️❤️ Papa was dropping bombs on this one 🤣. Don't go to Toyota 👏🏾👏🏾
Firstly, God bless both The Makhs and The Makhs SNR. This episode set me free. I’ve been single for over 6 years and even my family ask what is wrong with me. For years I’ve felt I wasn’t ready cause of wounds and I’ve seen how God has been working on me. Thank you so much for this conversation. It literally came at the right time. I love you guys. Keep honoring God with your platform. You guys are amazing 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Wow👏🏽this is so profound,it couldn't have come at a better time.I've recently found myself in a trance of being single 'cause everyone in my circle is in a relationship,but after hearing this I am ready to single well🙂and being the best version of myself ❤ "The best time to meet your partner is when you're not desperate or fishing"🙌🏽
Wisdom right there wowww. A wedding is not a microwave for character. So many gems dropped. Thank you so much for sharing your parents with us . So much light, direction,love and lessons shared. God Bless.Thank you Fam🙏🏼❤
The gems dropped! Watching this for the second time and I’m still glued to it like it’s my first. 👏🏼 thank you. I’m married but this was still very relevant
This really changed my life..... When I really needed a word from God on how to move on..... I feel so blessed and it's never too late to start something new
It's the humor, the wisdom, the beauty, and yonkinto nje for me 😍😍. I wish all the singles could watch this. Where my fellow singles at?? Le kwele mara? Yhooo 🔥🔥 "Be smart about life. Be smart about relationships. And more than anything, invest in yourself." Hallelujah 🙌🏾
Lerato and Pheto,yall are extremely blessed man ,thank you for overflowing on all of us man ,that’s too selfless of you guys …I’m about to get married myself to a wonderful woman that came straight from God to me ,I say this cause I know I had to get into a covenant with God for me to have her …yall are blessed foreal foreal …thank you for this episode ..God bless your parents too ,I’m def getting the “I’m A Man “ soon as it drops .
such a powerful instalment!! so many gems from this video. I thank God for you two, and papa and mama. I feel so excited to live in my singleness and work on myself, and be fulfilled! I can't wait to be overflowing and satisfied! Thank you!
I got to a point in my life where I'm willing to WAIT for the guy God has placed specifically for ME. I'm single and satisfied. Although it does get lonely at times but honestly I'm at a really good space. I've worked so hard to be where I am (spiritually) I can't let all my work go to waste because I pick someone from a desperate place. It's not worth it. Me and my future partner will find each other while we are busy trying to fulfill our purpose individually.
I was so reluctant to listen to this podcast because I knew Mama le Papa will be dropping bars I'm not ready to hear but on the contrary they spoke to me & reminded me that I'm on the right track. Thank you for the lessons
This is mind blowing, we thank the Lord for granting the whole family with so much wisdom. It reminds me of the time the Makhs Snrs were featured on Mapaseka MoKwele show on kaya fm. There was always something to take away from every show. My the good Lord continue to blessing and keeping them for us
This was soooooooooooo profound!!! My goodness. Great wisdom in here, always aaaaaaah Ntate Jerry the Man🥺did y'all heard his closing words... He's the man amongst men...❤❤❤❤

As someone that's about to get married, I am in awe of the Snr's, they always impact so much wisdom when they speak. Thank you for this installment guys. It was truly insightful. xoxoxoxo
This is so good!!! Wish we could get more elders like Ntate leMme who can help us and tell us the hard-core truth.. Alot of people are under so much pressure... I'm liberated
