Today I'm going into The Chat Room where women from around the world join me in my virtual studio to discuss the topic of the week. The conversations are really eye-opening and we usually uncover nuggets to help us all live this single life like a boss.

Episode Summary

In Part 1 of this 2 part episode, Yasmine Campbell tells us about her failed marriage to a licensed minister of religion. She speaks of his infidelity and abuse and how she became a substitute mother to the children he had out of wedlock. 

Key Takeaways

• Take  note when others caution you about someone you are dating. Don't push  it under the rug. Pray about it, ask others, speak to him (2:39)
• Make your decision based on the character before you not based on your hope that he will change (3:31)
• Sometimes breaking free from a relationship requires spiritual deliverance because we aren't strong enough to do it on our own (7:24)
• Some men will use the blame game as part of their arsenal when they are cheating/abusing you (10:01)
• A bad relationship/marriage can cause you to be cursed by sickness and disease (11:06)
• Unfortunately, there are men who are ordained by the Church and who flow in the spiritual gifts, who cheat on and abuse women (19:38)

Top Quotes

• Everything  that I saw before the marriage, it just became blown up in the  marriage. The cheating became blown up, it was bigger than before, you  know, it produced outside children (3:41)
• There was also financial abuse where he was taking the money that I  was earning to take care of his outside interest and child (4:31)
• I went through that (caring for his child as my own). I went through the isolation, I went through feeling ashamed (10:49)
• So I had to recognize that...you pity the man that is hurting and abusing you. You need to pity the woman that is being abused...you need to feel sorry for yourself (12:53)
• I see him ministering at a higher level that I didn't reach in areas of ministry and flowing into gifts. And I would say, the young man is consecrated. He's not doing this because nobody can be doing all this and not be consecrated (19:38)
• This is a curse, you're under a curse. You have covenanted in marriage with someone who is under the curse of poverty, and lack. And so you have come under that curse with him. This is why this is happening to you (27:00)
