Hey Fam Bam, Thanks for the check-in/ update/advice, etc...😅 Its clearly evident that more effort and “intentional loving” is required in each progressing phase of the relationship, in order to sustain the joy of having each other as best friends before being a married couple or parents.😊 That was very informative. Thank you once again... Oh and we’re transitioning to the “Marriage Phase”💍♥️ I think we need come over for some “Get ready for the next phase!” kind of advice.. 😅 PS: We take our green tea with no sugar. ☕️😁 Much love. #RegoDise
That broke phase after marriage, yoh guys not easy! 1st year def not easy, it took a lot of pruning and sacrifice. I celebrated my 1st anniversary on Sunday and thankful that God got us through and sustained us. I am also about to become a mum in 2months, so excited
Honestly! Im still single. But im so intentional about the things I want in a relationship which means that I can wait as long as I can to meet a person who won't think my expectations are too high when I want him to take me seriously as a woman. But I am happy for this video, it is so important. I also learned alot about different stages. Thank you.
uzomthola umuntu and when you do it will be the most magical thing ever. You will literally pinch yourself to see if you ain't dreaming. However it also comes with it's hardships but i think how close and loving you guys are will make it a lot easier and all worth it and bearable. I pray you find the right one soonest :*
Brenden, thanks you reminded me of this scripture: Luke 12:48 From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
😍omg for many years people have been telling me to wait till early thirties for marriage, so that it be successful and to avoid divorce but seeing you guys young love does exist and its ok to love young and marry thank you guys👊
Every stage requires a different version of yourself and that's how we evolve. You can never be the same person as you were when you were dating, you guys are now parents so there's a shift from being Mpumi or just Brenden. You are now Nuri's parents. As for myself I'm married and I'm a mother.
I must say you guys inspire us (my girlfriend and I), yal are just goals in this life time. Thank you for the transparency, i feel like I'm a part of the conversation.
I know I'm 8 months late but just watched this and soo appreciated it when you said, "me first, us second and then baby". As wife and a mom, it just makes sense.
I really appreciate how transparent and real you guys are about your relationship. This has been very helpful and quite informative. May God continue to bless your union, you have been called for such a time as this.
Recently transitioned from single phase to the dating phase... Really excited to start this phase especially because I’m using my previous mistakes as a lesson for the new phase... I can’t wait to see what is has for us both. Loved this video 🙌🏽
"His provision will always match the responsibility" I like that😊okay, I'm in the waiting phase and enjoying being single and exploring who I really am and finding my purpose and identity in Christ. For now I just want to be secure in knowing who I am. At the right time I know God will bless me with my perfect match. 😊 I love you guys so much. Stay blessed❤
love love this episode, well I am currently in the dating phase, planning the future together, trying to find our feet career wise (fresh out from university), about to start a business and become billionaires. It is actually tough but I am enjoying all the ups and downs of it, pretty confusing phase I tell you WOW.
Hi guys! 😍 I usually don't comment because I always have alot to say. Let me try Nd keep this short: @Brenden Unto whom much is given, much is expected and He who is faithful in little will be faithful in much. I liked that. @Mpoomy I admire you, I think I can relate with you on so many levels (if distance wasn't an issue we'd be those married friends yall were talking about) Loved the topic Nd the whole talk, encouraging. I'll leave it there... Thanks
When you guys do a video together I always wait to watch the video till my husband is home and now we are watching together and I love how he is always engaged in your videos right now he said he disagrees with mpoomy dating is easier but I personally agree with mpoomy dating is hard work God bless you guys you are so genuine 💖
We are in the dating stage; it's only been 6 months so far and it is wonderful. We are already in parenthood🙈🙈 He and I each have daughters, so we slowly learning each others parenting skills, but he's an exceptional dad. We have been speaking of transitioning to marriage but finances dont allow as yet; but also it may be a bit too early... We are just hoping and praying for the best in our relationship. I truly believe he is it. Loved the video. You make love look beautiful.
What i appreciate about this video is the general authenticity thats really coming across. It's real man, from the genuine laughs right to those micro moments where you get the sense that "okay, they are still working on this part". But thanks for being so open. It's good to see.
This was absolutely beautiful. I am single, happily so. I started this year on a rocky phase but then I journaled down everything I want to see this year. I eventually dedicated this year to me and calling it me-year. This means that everything I do I ask myself if it is beneficial for me and how so. I must admit it's not easy but it keeps me aware of everything happening and I've found it even helped in my relationship with friends and family. The only way I believe I've even been able to do everything is only because God is God. Love you guys
Prioritizing myself is something I’ve started doing and it does a huge difference to the day and my wellbeing in general. Especially when everything has been about the family, and being so soaked in “mommy-land” All thanks Mrs Mom and the 5am club, the hour before the rush and buzz of juggling work, family, life nje in general has done such a great deal to my self care. Also being intentional about your acts👌🏽 #transitioningtoparenthood gang
Thank you guys for this. I really needed it. We have 2 kids (5yrs and 11 months), it's always about the kids. Thanks for reminding me that we need time to ourselves so that we don't become strangers.
Totally related to this video. We've been married for 6 years, have 2 kids under 6.. so yeah! It's been a journey. There have been tough times but u are right about the importance of prioritizing yourself. Fill your cup before pouring out to others.. You guys are too cute!
You guys are amazing. I would say I'm in the broke phase, calling each other by our names and babe the next day, butterflies present one minute and the next I'm like wow I'm so grateful phase. It's an interesting beautiful imperfect journey.
Every time I watch these two...I find inspiration to look forward to getting married again. I know marriage is not an achievement but we cant deny the feeling that comes with being in love. I got married at a really young age not by will and it turned out to be extremely horrible and I swore never to enter a relationship or marriage. Then there's these two cute love birds. I truly wish yall the best of success in your marriage and personal endeavors
Being *comfortable* in a marriage is common and it takes over without knowing. It's important to always acknowledge your partner, keep things fresh by always being intentional by going back to the basic- whatever it was that made you both happy, and to also remember to show affection nd attention to the other person's love language. Marriage is absolutely beautiful when both parties are intentional with their actions. Keep up the good work guys.. Love from a South African living in the US.
Brenden's point on responsibility just spoke to my situation/doubt about what I've been planning to do 🙏🏾 truthful and encouraging words from a man of faith, thank you.
I absolutely love you guys, you definitely are an inspiration. I'm in the honeymoon face(2 months into dating) and so far so good, even though it's a long distance buh we definitely making it work, and as a women I am highly appreciative of the effort his putting into our relationship coz normally it's us women who always put more effort into relationships than men. Thank you once again for a lovely and informative video
Listening to you both just gives me so much hope with my dreams and vision.When mpoomy talks about her journal in my head am like maybe mine will come alive someday in the fullness of time🙏
Great life update if I can call it that... I kinda relate to back when you were newly weds and didn't have money... Hubby and I got married March 2017 and had just moved to Cpt so things were tough but we good now. I've watched you guys grow and seeing you so comfortable and happy is just beautiful to witness. Please feature princess Nuri next time I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses her... Stay blessed ❤️
Hi guys! We love watching yol! Hubby n I are in the parenthood phase, juggling marriage, dating each other n etc. now we find ourselves scheduling time for each other which in the beginning I thought was not going to happen but with baby we decided to intentionally make time to connect, if spontaneity occurs then that’s awesome.
Transitioning into the marriage phase sometimes I just think about it an panic a little, because I think of all these responsibilities that are involved and worry on whether I’ll be able to handle things because I tend to bottle things then explode later. It an area I have yet to overcome to stop worrying about things so much and just TRUST in GOD. Thank you for this video ❤️
We are a good 3 years into parenthood, I loved this video it's so amazing to know that other couples go through the same feelings about being away from their kids and you guys look so in love it's contagious and so natural....let me go look for baba ka khanyi, this video made me miss him...💕😭🙋
I love the two of you ❤️ I haven’t watched the video yet, I had to comment first because I never do but I’m always here watching. So from my heart. I love your content. You and your husband are one my favorite local content creators. I love what the two of you do here on YT. You put your heart and soul into it and I feel so connected to every piece of work that you share with us. Keep inspiring and don’t ever stop giving your best because we see it and we appreciate it ❤️
Parenthood is a beautiful blessing but can challenge a relationship a lot, a fine balance is important so that you don’t lose yourselves in the process.…We have the added challenge of parenting abroad without extended family to help and so trying to find “us time” while trying to be parents has been a huge learning curve!… I am a huge fan of Routine routine routine, it gives all of us the peace and sanity we need♥️
For us it was dating then boom parenthood, some people might call it unfortunate but I think it's a blessing, a blessing in disguise. Because right now we are transitioning to marriage and there's no one else I want to do forever with than the father of my son, some people would rather go get a new bae after a baby, I still want more of him in my life.😍😍😍😍❤❤😘😘I love you guys🥂💜💛
Mpoomy just yesterday I was also contemplating in what you're saying that I'm not the same person I was last year. I'm not who I was yesterday. So it's really just about embracing each season and stage we're at in life. I'd say I'm transitioning into being self content.
