why we broke up. what every Christian couple should know.
i just got engaged… so why am i talking about our breakup?
in this episode, i sit down with my fiancé to share the full story of how we went on a break for 9 months, why we chose to step away, and how God completely restored our relationship in a way only He could.
i have received COUNTLESS of messages and comments about this, with people going through similar and unsure of what the future holds. so we pray this helps anyone going through confusion, heartbreak, waiting, or wondering if restoration is even possible.
what we talk about:
✨ the reality of going on a break while still loving each other
✨ how spiritual immaturity
✨ why it was the best decision for both of us
✨ what it looked like to pray for each other even while apart
✨ awkwardness of reconnection
✨ how we knew it was time to get back together
and whilst i am so blessed for our love story, this isn't about us but about God’s grace, timing, and leadership over our lives.
