In this episode of Relationship Realities, we’re getting real about one of the most overlooked ways to meet a good man: a setup.

Your favorite Auntie, Texas Brown Sugar, shares a story about her girl Brittany—who was one "I don’t feel like going" away from missing the man who would become her fiancé.

If you’ve been praying for a husband but dodging every invite, side-eyeing every “I think you two would hit it off,” or waiting for love to just drop from the heavens into your living room... baby, you might be blocking your own blessing.

We’ll talk about:
💬 How to open yourself up to trusted setups
👑 Why saying “yes” isn’t desperate—it’s discerning
📖 And what Ruth, a field, and divine alignment have to do with your love story

Sometimes your husband won’t come through a DM. He might come through someone who already knows your value.

It’s time to show up, say yes, and stop letting fear keep you from what faith already has in motion.

Welcome back to Relationship Realities, the safe space for single women preparing for marriage without shrinking, settling, or sabotaging. In today’s episode, “Why Standards Aren’t Keeping You Single,” Fari dives into one of the biggest myths in the dating world: that having high standards is the reason you’re alone. Instead, he challenges the idea that your standards are the problem and explores how hidden fears—fear of being alone, fear of rejection, fear that what you want doesn’t exist—could be causing you to compromise on what really matters.

Together, we’ll unpack the difference between healthy standards and unrealistic expectations, learn how fear often disguises itself as humility or patience, and discover how standing firm in your values actually paves the way for real love. Grab your journal and your tea—this episode is all about empowering you to protect your peace, embrace your worth, and prepare for the kind of love that’s consistent, committed, and truly aligned. Let’s get into
