Adam had been searching for a while but didn\u2019t have that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe really had to get honest with like, \u2018OK, we say we want to go all in with our relationship, like be completely on fire for God, but what are areas that we\u2019re kind of just like holding back?\u2019\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were a few. I mean, finances were hard for me and just our relationship in general could be tough when it comes to believing and honoring what God has for marriage \u2014 and that being living together.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have lived together [since] eight months into our relationship and we decided to just trust God and we are not living in this house together until\u00a0we get married<\/span>\u00a0this summer. It was obviously a big decision and very different and new, but we both separately were having these thoughts in our prayer and just feeling the Lord to call us to do this,\u201d Brown said at the time.<\/p>\n Now, Brown tells People that she is looking forward to making their shared house a home.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re really focusing on making this house a home together,\u201d Brown told People. \u201cSpending time with our families and just having a little bit of a slower pace for just a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
