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.
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."
The Single Ready and Waiting Theme Song represents the colours of the traffic light for a very good reason.
Stop - Red - Single Wait - Yellow - Ready/preparing Go - GREEN - Waiting for God's GREEN LIGHT.
Never choose a mate on your own. Father God want's to give you the desire's of your heart which will be what you NEED. In the meantime Be patient, Be Ready & Be waiting for it. Thou it tarry, it shall surely come!!! Habakkuk 2:3
