About this episode

The episode discusses whether a woman should give up drinking alcohol for her boyfriend's marriage requirements, exploring the balance between love and personal conviction.

In this video, we respond to a real question from a woman whose boyfriend, a church leader, told her he couldn't marry someone who drinks alcohol, even occasionally.Should she give up something she doesn’t personally believe is wrong in order to honor the man she loves and hopes to marry?Or is that the kind of change that must come from personal conviction, not relationship pressure?If you’ve ever wrestled with different convictions in a relationship, this conversation is for you.Drop your thoughts in the comments:Should someone change something like this for the person they love?Resources & LinksEmber mug Yvette Loves 🍵💍https://bit.ly/4lfn38iMentor Couple Wait List 🫂🖤https://forms.gle/VcUDRgf6km9kHWEK7Buy Girl Scout Cookies from Anaya 🍪💛https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/anaya778725Release Rest Remain 📖✨https://a.co/d/ihBmSdOFather Yourself First 📘🔥https://www.amazon.com/Father-Yourself-First-Everything-Deserves/dp/1400252555Yvette’s Email List 💌🌿https://yvettehenry.com/join-the-listRelease Rest Remain Bible Reading Plan 🙏🏽📖https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/64646Premarital Advantage…
