Another SRW Interview - Tia & Peter, Found Love In Their Home Church

SRW:  Tia, thank you so much for allowing me to interview you all the way from Neptune Township, New Jersey.:) We met through the  Love & Marriage group on Facebook and I got the sense that you are a happily married woman and I was curious to know how you met your husband, Peter.

SRW: So, where did you meet?
 
Tia: I met my husband in our present home church.

SRW : Was it love at first sight?
 
Tia: No. I'm older than he is and we grew up in the same church, so, I've known him since he was very young. He was actually annoying. (Lol)


SRW: Who first spoke to whom?
 
Tia: I'm not sure who spoke to whom first, romantically.

SRW: When/How did you know that he was the One?
 
Tia: I knew he was the one for me because we were best friends.

SRW: Was there ever a time when you felt like ending your courtship?
What kept you going?
 
Tia: I never felt like ending our courtship. I thought it may be necessary to end it because his father passed away and I thought his time might be better spent looking after his mother. He didn't want to end our relationship. So, it didn't end.

SRW: Who takes out the garbage and recycling?
 
Tia: The kids.

SRW: I better hurry up and have some kids then...lol. My husband is the garbage collector at my house, wouldn't trade him for the world, he never skips a beat. 

SRW: What was the last movie you went out to see together?
 
Tia: The last movie we saw was 'Jack & Jill'.
 
SRW: Any children?

Tia: We have a daughter and two sons.

SRW: Was marriage all that it was cracked up to be ?
 
Tia: Yes! I enjoy it very much.

SRW: Name one thing you did to help prepare you for marriage?
 
Tia: I enjoyed my single life very much.

SRW: Any advice to singles?
 
Tia: Enjoy your single life to the fullest so when you get married, you have no regrets, you're happy, and you're not looking back to your single life.

SRW: Well said Tia. Well said.

Why Oprah Refuse's To Marry

God knows how I appreciate Oprah, what she has overcome, and what she has been able to do over the years. But, her reason to not marry concerns me.

Take a look at this interview on Youtube and listen carefully to her reasons why she refuses to marry.  It is definitely, NOT the mindset you want to have towards marriage. 

I don't know of any wife, that wouldn't want to do anything nice for their husband when he is the loving, caring, and sensitive to her needs, type of guy.  But if the truth be told, Oprah is not the only woman that fears the "S" word. (Submission.)

Could it be Oprah's past why she refuses to marry or could it be the billions of dollars she makes?? 

Well, like I said before it is NOT the kind of mindset God would want us to have towards marriage.  God calls us all to submit to his authority/His word and in marriage woman and men are to submit to each other out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:2  

I pray that Oprah will come around and do what is pleasing in God's eye: marrying her main man Stedman.

Some Background Info About Oprah.

"Oprah Winfrey was born poor and black in Mississippi in 1954, when poor and black meant no flush toilets, no shoes, and no real chance to get ahead in the world. She was supposed to be "Orpah" Winfrey, named for the Biblical Ruth's sister-in-law (see Ruth, chapter 1), but the name was spelled wrong on her birth certificate, and soon everyone was calling her Oprah. She learned to read at home, and skipped kindergarten to go straight into first grade. She skipped second grade, too. At 17 she was working as a reporter for a local radio station. She was a bright kid.


And beautiful -- at 18, Winfrey won the Miss Black Tennessee beauty pageant. At 19, she was anchoring a newscast on Nashville's WTVF-TV. She later co-anchored the nightly newscast at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, and co-hosted a local talk show called People Are Talking, before jumping to Chicago's WLS-TV. Her morning talk show there debuted in 1984, and rose to number one in the ratings within a month. Outside of local telecasts, Oprah first drew national attention in her film debut, The Color Purple, for which she snagged an Oscar-nomination as best supporting actress. She's acted in other films since, but never nearly so well. Winfrey's talk show went national in 1986, and as it had in Chicago, Oprah took the top spot almost immediately. It's been the top-rated daytime talk show ever since.


Winfrey has spoken of being sexually abused as a child, and stated publicly that she'll never have children of her own. 


She is the first black American woman billionaire -- net worth $2.4B (Forbes 2010) -- and reportedly makes about half a million dollars a day from her TV show alone. She owns or co-owns the Oxygen Network, O Magazine, her own Harpo Studio, Harpo Productions, Harpo Films, Harpo Print, Harpo Video, and the Oprah Winfrey Network. Harpo, of course, is Oprah spelled backwards."

A SRW Interview. How Kai Met Her Husband Gary Grosse

SRW: Hi Kai, thank you so much for having this interview with me. I have never forgotten how you and your husband Gary were there for me when I was going through a difficult time in my life back in 2005.
I know that your prayers availed much.

I knew Gary before you both got married; as he was my choir director in Windsor, Ontario for a few years, and I knew it would take a very special woman to catch his eye.

So tell me Kai (pronounced Ki-E) how did you meet my choir leader, Gary Grosse?

Kai: I saw Gary for the first time at a church in Grand Rapids, MI but actually met him at a church in Windsor, ON


SRW: Was it love at first sight?

Kai: No, but I was impressed to see someone not of African-American background (or so I thought) eat soul food.

SRW: Who first spoke to whom?

Kai: He spoke to me first.  He told a mutual friend that he wanted to meet me & that friend introduced us.

SRW: When/How did you know that he was the One?

Kai: I knew he was the one after our very first phone conversation.  I knew because 1) he fit all of the character traits I asked the Lord for in a husband and 2) I just had a "knowing" that he was the one. 


SRW: Was there ever a time when you felt like ending your courtship?
What kept you going?

Kai: Yeah, I wanted to end it, but he stalked me :-)  Seriously, he made me talk about what I was unhappy or upset about and wouldn't let me take the easy way out of "escape" as he would put it.


SRW: What shampoo do you use to wash your hair? What does he use?

Kai: I use Biolage Hydrating Shampoo & Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque conditioner. Because I switch shampoo's every 5-6 months, he uses whatever remains of the previous shampoo.  This time it's Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal.


SRW: What was the last movie you went out to see together?

Kai: Resident Evil 4 in 2010.


SRW: Any Children?

Kai: Yes, 2 boys ages 2 & 3...16 months apart.  Thus, we go out for dinner but too tired for the movie :-0


SRW: Was marriage all that it was cracked up to be ?

Kai: Yes because I'm with God's man for me!


SRW: Name one thing you did in the courting stage to help prepare you for marriage?

Kai: Became less focus on what I wanted and focused more on what was best for us as a couple.


SRW: Any advice to singles?

Kai: Be sure it's the person God has for you.  Marriage is hard enough even with the right one.

The God Fearing Man

By Olusegun (Nigeria)   

"If you ask the average single Christian woman what qualities she looks for in the choice of a marriage partner; she is certainly going to say that the man must be God fearing. A God fearing man therefore is a "hotcake" in the choice of marriage partner.

Apart from the Christian women, Christian men would also readily agree that it is better to relate with a God fearing man. But the meaning of a God fearing man seems relative. It does appear as if our understanding of a God fearing man is a man that does things in a way that agrees with our desire.

It is therefore imperative to look at the word of God to understand what it means when God remarks that a man is God fearing. This is even more important because the scripture says, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)

There cannot be a God fearing man without Christ. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a man outside Christ to be God fearing. That is why repentance from dead works is the first quality of a God fearing man.

From Dating to a Committed Relationship. Did Singer, Monica Make It To The Altar?

I have always liked Monica...here she is talking about her relationship with 25-year-old Laker player, Shannon Brown.

 


Did they make the transition into a committed relationship and walk down the aisle?
 
They sure did.  

It's official...again.  They already had their official private ceremony last November with just the two of them and witnesses.  But they wanted a second, big and lavish wedding for all their family and friends.

30-year old Monica (Arnold) Brown wed her 25-year-old Laker hubby Shannon Brown in a stunning ceremony in Los Angeles in front of about 300 guests. http://theybf.com/2011/07/09/just-married-monica-shannon-brown-wedding-deets-inside
