So there’s this video trending on social media of a young man explaining how marriage has been one of his biggest adversities. He’s been married seven years and has an outside child that’s almost two years old. He said one of the ways he tried to make amends with his wife was by sending her a blue heart daily. The first day he sent one. The second day he sent two. The third day he sent three….and so forth. Y’all, he was so proud of himself. Well, he never made it past 21 days. He said sending hearts every day was just too hard to do. Listened, I tried not to laugh because he seemed so sincere, but it was so funny. How could that be difficult?
And I wasn’t alone. Most people agreed that sending hearts daily wasn’t that difficult to do nor was it special. However, he saw it as something special, as well as challenging. Who were we to judge? To him, sending blue hearts for 21 days was an accomplishment. He had achieved something he didn’t believe he could. And we don’t know, maybe his wife thought it was special too and was also proud of him.💙
Well, after searching for the young man’s name, because I had planned to use something he said during the interview as a quote (exceeding, excelling, and overcoming), I discovered he was an aspiring motivational speaker and that he truly loved his wife. When I tell you my laughter and judgment was replaced with compassion and respect. Y’all, this young man is just like everyone else trying to figure out how to maneuver through this circus called life. How many times have you wished you would have responded or said something differently? How many times have you made costly mistakes but by the grace of God you’re still standing? I believe we can agree that all of us have had similar experiences.
Listen, God’s grace is everything. I believe we need to extend more of it than be so quick to judge. Right now, that small segment of his interview has gone viral. People are in the comments telling his wife she has a loser on her hands and that she needs to find better. So many opinions…
Anyway, here’s an Instagram reel Mr. Pugh had pinned to his page: JahTheVoice. Sending prayers up for him and his wife. Praying their marriage survives this.
This too shall pass.

I watched that same snippet and I’m a stickler for looking at people’s eyes while they speak . . . something in me tells me he isn’t sincere. And if given the chance, he’ll step out on his wife again.
I can only hope he doesn’t. Their marriage is between them and God. Prayerfully, they’re taking their issues to him and perhaps a therapist, cuz the public’s eyes really aren’t where it needs to be.

I agree about his eyes and the way he was speaking. Very erratically. But I am glad I got more context. And yes, he might step out again, but for some people that isn’t an all out deal breaker. I just know that outside influences and opinions can have people making decisions they really don’t want to make or aren’t ready to make. I’ve seen it happen and it’s sadder than if they would have stayed. Prayers for them both, especially her because she’s the one who didn’t ask to be brought into the conversation.😕

She surely did not! I really wonder how she’s taking it. I hope they’ll be okay. Whatever happens.
