Summary
PRE-ORDER FATHER YOURSELF FIRST TODAY!
What do you do when the man you love keeps hitting pause on the future you planned together?
💍 After six years—three long-distance, three living together—a listener’s boyfriend still hasn’t proposed or started premarital counseling. She feels more like a roommate than a partner, while he insists they’ve “gone backwards” and need to fix their foundation before moving toward marriage. Now she’s wondering: is this a season to rebuild… or a sign it’s time to walk away?
We talk:
💬 "When a man says ‘not right now,’ he often means ‘not you.’” – Glen breaks down what “not ready” really signals about a man’s heart and leadership.
⚖️ How living together before commitment can blur standards and stall clarity about the relationship’s direction.
❤️ Why comfort can replace pursuit—and what women lose when they stop being chosen.
🧱 Yvette’s reminder: “You can’t fix the foundation while living in the house.” If it’s shaky now, marriage won’t steady it.
🙏🏾 The difference between hoping he’ll grow and accepting he’s not growing with you.
Have you ever stayed too long waiting for someone to be ready? ⏳ Episode 265 of How Married Are You? is live—tap in, share your story, and tag a friend who needs this convo.
