18 Years & Their Platonic Love Blossomed into Marriage | MATT & ERIKA WEST | Dear Future Wifey 1005

Matt West felt a spark when he first laid eyes on Erika. Ironically, they were both in relationships at that time. So, their love was put on layaway for 18 years! In this inspiring episode of the Dear Future Wifey podcast, host Laterras R. Whitfield and Matt & Erika West discuss how faith, patience, and divine timing played pivotal roles in bringing them together. Through candid conversations, the Wests share the challenges they faced, the lessons they learned, and how surrendering to God's plan led them to a fulfilling partnership. Their story serves as a testament to the power of waiting on God's timing and the beauty that unfolds when you do.

  • @mariemuhammad7983 says:

    I love how she recognized Matthew was her gift and she said she wasnโ€™t going to allow finances to trump what God had for her. She knew God would walk them through whatever they had to walk through together. It will be the same for me when I marry. God provides where he leads us.

  • @tiabrown5416 says:

    “The way this man loves me should be studied.” Wow, that’s beautiful โค. This is one of my favorite episodes. God is FAITHFUL!!!

  • @jessicawilson7494 says:

    This thing has me crying already!! I haven’t watched in months due to my engagement failing and just being down about it not working but understanding it wasn’t what God has for me. Now I’m back and this actually hits

    Familiar with Hinesville and November 12th is a special day. This episode was very soothing. I am glad they found each other again. I loved the explanation about the difference between nice and kindness. So on point. Congrats and looking forward to my gift.

  • @j.o.y_aliba says:

    When he spoke about his daughter!! Lord!! I pray he gets to meet her again!! And I like that Latteras gave him insight on what to do! That’s a good man, a good man!!! I pray he finds his child.

  • @yasminnovella4564 says:

    LATERRAUS YOU ARE DOING A PHENOMINAL JOB AND I PRAY GOD BLESSED YOU WITH THE WIFE HE HAS SET APART FOR YOU THAT CAN LOVE YOU AND BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.

  • @tylynn256 says:

    This is how all relationships should start. FRIENDSHIP is VALUABLE! A lot of people don’t get that. The foundation and love of true friendship will last when you don’t like each other as partners. Awesome testimony. Thank you โค

  • @yasminnovella4564 says:

    I CAN FEEL ERIKA’S EMOTION. HER LOVE RUNS DEEP FOR MATTHEW, REAL DEEP. IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. I AM SO GLAD YOU TWO FOUND EACH OTHER AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART IS YOU WERE FRIENDS FIRST. ALWAYS PROTECT THAT FRIENDSHIP EVEN IN DIFFICULT MOMENTS AND YOUR LOVE WILL LAST A LIFETIME.

  • @melissas_heart says:

    โ€œThe way that he loves me should be studied.โ€ I believe that the way that she loves him should be studied as well. The words that she uses to describe him, it pours from a heart that loves like the heart of God. Their story made my heart beat again. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’œ

  • @melissas_heart says:

    This is the #1 episode for DFW hands down! What a love story.๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’œ

  • @verytangi9572 says:

    Iโ€™m so glad that through telling this story, he now has a way to find his daughter. I hope this advice helps others in that situation.

  • @jennamorgan2239 says:

    I felt her when she said I asked for someone to love my daughter the way that he loves me. I pray that kind of love for my son and I. ๐Ÿ˜ญโค๏ธ

    • @taleshacalhoun2665 says:

      Itโ€™s on the way!

    • @melissas_heart says:

      You will receive that kind of love for both of you. It will be beyond what you could have ever thought it would be. Get ready to receive it.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’œ

    • @OnlinewithMathuto says:

      Same Sis. I’m often shocked when women say, I’m not lookong for a father for my kids, they have a dad, I’m just looking for someone to love me.

      I pray for a man who will love my daughter as his own too.

  • @monekajefferson5971 says:

    My God right there! When a womanโ€™s heart can rest. Priceless.
