Priscilla made a great point that if you are thinking of marrying someone, check to see if they have an authority figure in their life who they submit to. This way, when you marry them and have issues in the marriage, you can turn to that authority figure for help. If your spouse has no one who they listen to, then they become a law unto themselves and go rogue anytime they want to. It's very difficult living with a person like that, because they don't take correction from anybody. It makes the marriage very difficult.

Jerry is a very exemplary man. You don't usually see men submit to discipleship and mentoring like that. I was very impressed with Jerry's submission, as well as his leadership in his home. Him taking responsibility for the success and happiness of his wife and children is outstanding. Usually men want their wife to serve them, but he is out front serving his family. Amazing!

You married her but made a covenant with GOD!!! That’s a gem 💎 right there. ❤

[AleenaGENISE]

This is a whole marriage masterclass. Also, we need Jerry to write a book, teach a course, lead a men’s conference or something!

[preciousviolet]

This brother right here needs to start a ministry in counseling young men before marriage. WOW 😮. What a man of God ❤

Loved when Priscilla compared the husband to the shade of a tree. Women don't struggle to submit to a husband who is a shade, a comfort, a safe place. If a husband loves the wife sacrificially, she will submit easily; she will want to submit, you wont have to tell her to do it.

“Whenever you’re doing something for the Lord, the enemy will attack you.” FACTS 💯 Be ready to fight and have on the whole armor of God!!! Spiritual warfare is real!

When Jerry said he saw what his dad did by leaving his mom and he wasn't going to repeat it, it brought me to tears.

I met my husband at his aunts funeral at my church in Florida. I was a member and the Director of Music for this church. His Mothers family were members of this church but I had never met him until his Mothers sister died. He was not a church going person. He said he heard the voice of God tell him I would be his wife, when he first saw me at the funeral. And he said he told God, "Oh he'll no, not this marriage shit again. I am not marrying anybody." However, his actions were not that. I was dating someone else who was a church man. He had a great job, and I loved him very much. We were talking about marriage. But James got all up in that thing and blew it out of the waters. My life improved just from getting to know him becuz he called so much and made me laugh, made my stress relief, and he cooked like a chef. My dad was ill and he came over everyday after hisnwork and cared for my dad. My dad got well in 3 days, no lie. Our house felt like.love when James was there. He was calm, quiet, he smiled alot. He did not fuss or argue. He just cooked. He was a great love that I had not known. We have 6 adult children 20 grands, 3 great grands. He is in heaven now due to covid-19. (He was a nurse, and a former Sgt. US Army, basketball star and sport fan). Great reader of the Bible. He also read all of T. D. JAKES books, Joel Noel, and another guy and wanted to talk about it. Everytime he read a book or 2, we had another baby. We were comfortable with each other with the good, the bad and the ugly, we loved each other regardless. And both of our lives improved and progressed. 😊 RIP Sgt. James Branch, Sr.

Once I realized my husband held my heart close to his and did everything to protect it, I was willing to let down my guards and fully submit! Like Pricilla, I can’t imagine life without my covering. I THANK GOD for my person, my husband and my best friend. ❤

[oyinb.]

This man is a SERVANT. It’s all over him. God bless you Mr. Shirer for walking in humility and meekness.

[anitapatterson]

What manner of man is this? God will bless us with the right spouse. Hang in there ladies. Hang in there. ❤️🙌🏾

[PassionGodAlways]

What Grandma said TOOK MY BREATH AWAY! 🥺🥰❤🙌🏾🙏🏾

[patriciaaharkins]

My husband and I have been married 53yrs by God's amazing grace. This new season is difficult pray for us to keep focused on the Lord.

[sheilabrown]

When Priscilla said grandma said, "He looks at you like he will love you for the rest of your life." I am in awe. I pray for that kind of look and love 😊❤

[LaToya_here]

The integrity of the film makers… directing in SUCH A WAY to make sure temptation had no place on set, honoring the spouses, honoring GOD! YOOOO😭😭😭Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL!!🙌🏽…
THIS WHOLE INTERVIEW HAS MY EYES LEAKING!!!

[browngirl]

Aww, this is the first time I'm seeing Jerry Shirer, his presence fills the room with love submission and authority, you can see his heart is after Christ, no wonder Priscilla is free to share Christ in such a powerful way, she has a "godly man" at home, they shared so much wisdom and laughter, this is my favorite! Thank you having them Laterras, beautiful. #Couple Goals

Whew... Jerry say, "once a woman knows that, she's more important than you, she doesn't have a problem submitting because she knows she will always be the priority" Jerry, you betta SPEAK!! 🗣

And this is a MAN that grew up without a Father!! No Excuses!!

[brendamoss]

The shade that your husband provides is unmatched

[shush]

It takes a VERY secure man to be married to a Powerhouse Preacher like Mrs Priscilla. Love this episode. Now this is real relationship goals. ❤❤

[sandranartey]

Glad Priscilla shared about how the Kendrick brothers care about the lives of the actors and actresses and their spouses. May GOD Bless them all.
