I’m Marvel, your Christian Coach, and today we are spilling the tea on a topic that is absolute gospel for your love life. I’ve been deep in the pages of one of my favourite books, and it unlocked a powerful truth we absolutely need to internalize before anyone walks down an aisle: Marriage does not complete you; it complements you. Say it with me: Complement, not complete. For too long, the narrative—especially for Christian women—has been that "I Do" is the finish line, the moment you finally become whole. But that vibe check is completely off. If you walk into a marriage with an incomplete self, you’re not looking for a partner; you're looking for a saviour. And that sets you up for a toxic relationship. Today, we’re doing the inner work. We’re identifying the 7 luminous requirements of character and emotional maturity you need to be rocking before you even think about accepting that ring. This is your definitive pre-marital advice checklist for building a healthy relationship. If you’re a young woman in your twenties, thirties, or forties, listen up. Your self-love journey starts right now. THE RESCUER TRAP: WHEN INCOMPLETENESS INVITES CONTROL We all know this scenario, and maybe—just maybe—you’ve lived it. When you haven't done the deep inner self-work—when you still struggle with low self-image or a pervasive lack of assertiveness—you enter the dating pool with massive emotional needs. You might still be desperately seeking the validation of your parents, even though you are a grown woman with a grown-up life. This unmet need makes you a magnet for a specific type of partner: the rescuer. He steps in and seems to fill every void. He tells you what to wear, handles all the decisions, and at first, that structure feels safe. He seems like the savior you didn't have growing up, maybe the structure you missed from your father. You think, "Wow, he’s so decisive and protective!" But fast-forward a year into marriage, and that "savior" quickly pivots. He's not rescuing you; he is controlling you. He takes advantage of your low self-image and your lack of boundaries. What started as "protection" becomes isolation. What felt like "decisiveness" turns into domineering behavior. If you don't deal with the root issues of low self-worth and unexpressed opinion now, you risk marrying a controlling husband. To build a truly luminous relationship, you must first be a luminous individual. THE 7 LUMINOUS REQUIREMENTS: YOUR MATURITY CHECKLIST To be a healthy, complete adult ready for a thriving partnership, you must possess these seven ...

KEYWORDS: #HopeAhead, #FaithJourney, #RoutineMatters, #SpiritualGrowth, #HealingPath, #PrayerPower, #VisionRestored, #PositiveMindset, #EmbraceChange, #ReflectiveJournaling TRANSCRIPT “Their best days are not behind.” Hey — I want you to sit with that for a second. Say it out loud if you need to: Their best days are not behind. Now let me say it to you directly: Your best days are not behind you. Not even close. I’m Marvel Adeyemi. I’m a therapist and a Christian coach. I talk to women who’ve been disappointed, let down, or hurt — sometimes by people, sometimes by life itself. I also work with women who feel their dreams have stalled. Here’s the truth I want you to hear today: disappointment is real, but it is not the final chapter. There is a path forward. Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.” That image matters — it’s gradual, steady, and it gets brighter. Your life can do the same. This is a short, practical message about keeping hope when things go wrong, and how routines, exercise, prayer and Scripture can help you return to the blueprint God gave you — your vision, your calling, your next season. Why hope feels fragile — and why it isn’t gone When disappointment lands — a relationship that failed, a job that collapsed, a door that slammed — your inner world shrinks. Things that once felt possible become heavy. That’s normal. The problem is not feeling hurt. The problem is staying stuck in the hurt. Hope is not denial. Hope is a posture. It’s a choice to open your hands to what God might still do. It’s also practical. You don’t wait for hope to appear like magic. You build conditions where hope grows. Routines are the scaffolding of hope Here’s the most practical thing: routine matters. When life breaks, your nervous system can feel chaotic. Routine is a small, reliable anchor. It re-teaches your body and brain that life can be predictable again. That predictability invites calm. Calm opens space for hope. Start tiny. I mean tiny. Pick two simple things and do them every day at roughly the same time: 5 minutes of breathwork or prayer first thing.10 minutes of journaling each evening — write one thing that went ok. That’s your minimum. Don’t skip it because you feel “too tired” or “not worthy.” Consistency beats intensity. A steady, tiny routine teaches your body that you can be safe again. Once those small habits stick, they give you the energy and clarity to reach for your bigger blueprint — that vision God gave you. How routines reconnect you to your life blueprint Remember the vision you had — the career idea, the family dream, the ministry stirring in your heart? Trauma and disappointment don’t erase vision. They bury it under survival behaviours. Routine is the shovel that uncovers it. A practical map: Morning: 10 minutes quiet time (Bible + prayer). Ask one question: What step today honours that vision?Midday: A short ...

I've seen a lot of young people leaving the church, leaving their faith. As a therapist, I've supported many through spiritual abuse and religious trauma. Now, I'm a believer in Christ, so I can speak about your faith in Christ and the church trauma some have experienced. If you've experienced church trauma, chances are you might have also faced childhood abuse or neglect. From my clinical observation, people with untreated trauma often gravitate towards highly structured institutions or communities. These structures provide a sense of grounding and survival. But as you heal, you might realize you don't want to stay in such a controlling environment. Leaving these communities can be re-traumatizing, but it's okay to step away. Mav: There's a local church assembly where you go for fellowship, hear the word of God, volunteer, and form connections. Then there's the universal church, which knows no borders, race, or gender. It's the church you belong to when you receive Jesus as your Savior. While you may leave your local assembly, don't leave your faith in Jesus. Your faith is personal. Paul said, "I bear on me the mark of our Lord Jesus Christ." Your faith in Jesus is personal and not tied to what others did or didn't do. Jesus died for you, and His blood brings you value. Don't cast away your confidence in Jesus because of misunderstandings at the local church. Mav: The devil knows the value of your faith. You can trust God for a job, a good marriage, and wonderful things through Jesus' name. The blood of Jesus gives you authority on earth. Don't drop your faith for anyone. They didn't die for you; Jesus did. If you've experienced trauma, neglect, or abuse, you need your faith. Your healing is spiritual, not just psychological. I can talk about psychological techniques, but I choose a faith-based approach. Your faith is crucial, and the devil knows it. Whatever disappointment or hurt you face, seek therapy with a trauma-informed therapist. But don't leave your faith behind. Mav: It's okay to step away from a local assembly while you heal. We're blessed in this generation with access to the word of God through YouTube and Christian apps. Your faith has cash and social values. Wherever you are, make sure your first connection is to Jesus. Stay there. I'm going to pray with you before I leave. Mav: Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for every heart that might be broken, disappointed, rejected, or abandoned, especially those who've experienced trauma. I pray that you heal every heart and strengthen them in these last days. Keep your faith in Jesus. Thank you, Father, in Jesus' name, amen. Take care, stay confident, stay beautiful. Until next time.

TRANSCRIPT 🎙️ Podcast Episode 35: CHRISTIAN DATING: HOW TO HEAL FIRST AND ATTRACT LASTING LOVE Intro (0:00 – 1:00) “You can binge every dating podcast or you tube video. You can read about attachment styles. You can point out red flags like a pro. But insight isn’t the same as healing. Real healing isn’t just in your head — it’s in your body, your heart, your nervous system. It’s learning how to calm your anxiety, regulate your emotions, and actually sit with your pain without numbing it away with busyness, food, or even ministry. When you start doing this deeper work, love gets less confusing. Friendships feel lighter. Dating feels less like survival and more like discovery. That’s when you know you’re healing Let’s be real — dating is hard. Like, really hard. And if you’ve ever experienced abuse, neglect, or even just grown up in a home where relationships weren’t healthy, dating becomes more than just hard — it feels like warfare. Friendships are harder. Loneliness hits deeper. You might feel like everyone else is moving forward socially — they’re in relationships, they’re making friends, they’re getting married — and you’re still stuck repeating patterns that go nowhere. And if that’s you, I just want you to know: nothing is wrong with you. You’re not broken. But there may be emotional gaps that need healing. And today, we’re going to talk about why that happens — and more importantly, what you can actually do about it.” Segment 1 – Why Love Feels Hard After Wounds (1:00 – 3:00) “When you’ve grown up with trauma, rejection, or neglect, here’s the truth: you didn’t get a model for healthy love. So your nervous system — your whole emotional map — doesn’t know what safe love looks like. Instead, it looks for what’s familiar. And sometimes familiar means unsafe. That’s why you might notice patterns like: 👉 Constantly ending up with emotionally unavailable people. 👉 Struggling to keep friendships alive. 👉 Feeling anxious, always waiting for someone to leave. 👉 Or being so guarded that nobody ever really gets close. And if you’ve been asking yourself: ‘Why can’t I make this work? Why do I keep choosing the wrong people?’ The answer is simple but deep — emotional wounds shape attraction.” Segment 2 – Knowing Isn’t Healing (3:00 – 5:00) “You can binge every dating podcast. You can read about attachment styles. You can point out red flags like a pro. But insight isn’t the same as healing. Real healing isn’t just in your head — it’s in your body, your heart, your nervous system. It’s learning how to calm your anxiety, regulate your emotions, and actually sit with your pain without numbing it away with busyness, food, or even ministry. When you start doing this deeper work, love gets less confusing. Friendships feel lighter. Dating feels less like survival and more like discovery. That’s when you know you’re healing.” Segment 3 – The Process That Changes Everything (5:00 – 7:30) “So what does it actually take? Here are three things I teach my clients all the time: 💡 Courage to feel. Healing means letting yourself grieve the rejection or neglect you buried....
