90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days<\/em><\/a>, Meisha and Nicola spent more time together.<\/p>\nAfter seven years of theological mentoring, they have just a short time to decide if they\u2019re compatible.<\/p>\n
Meisha has specific things that she wants to see from Nicola. If they\u2019re not engaged before she leaves, they\u2019ll never marry.<\/p>\n
And Nicola? He\u2019s outraged that Meisha wants to go out dancing with him. There\u2019s orthodox Catholicism, and there\u2019s whatever Nicola has going on.<\/p>\n<\/noscript> (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBy Season 6, Episode 7, Meisha Johnson had been in Israel with Nicola for a few days.<\/p>\n
She had real concerns about their compatibility. And it wasn\u2019t just about her desire to meet his family before they make plans to marry.<\/p>\n
Meisha wanted to know if Nicola would actually listen to her needs and take action. Thus far, he hadn\u2019t really demonstrated that.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTogether, they took a trip to the city of Haifa. It is one of the holy sites in their religion, Catholicism.<\/p>\n
Shortly after their arrival, Meisha perceived that people were dressed a little more nicely than she was.<\/p>\n
Ignoring the fact that she was dressed just fine, the people she spotted were at a wedding, and Nicola was dressed how he was, she opted to change. Into a dress.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMeisha\u2019s wardrobe change went down in the back of the car. To her, this was normal \u2014 for years, she changed in odd places for her broadcast journalism job.<\/p>\n
To Nicola, however, it was downright scandalous.<\/p>\n
He labeled her \u201ca little bit worldly\u201d while trying to shield the window by striking an awkward pose.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn social media, numerous viewers pointed out that Nicola is fitting the mold of a certain type of guy.<\/p>\n
The guy who doesn\u2019t put any effort into his appearance, so he doesn\u2019t understand why anyone else does.<\/p>\n
More than that \u2014 the guy who wants a woman who looks picture-perfect all of the time, but actively resents the effort that she puts into it.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn the positive side, Nicola is showing some promising growth.<\/p>\n
He has told at least some of his family about Meisha. After 7 years, it was overdue.<\/p>\n
And Meisha made it clear to Nicola that they cannot simply take this time for themselves. After waiting for so long, this trip will define their future.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMeisha didn\u2019t necessarily give Nicola an \u201cultimatum\u201d as some have characterized. But she did clarify the plan.<\/p>\n
Either she leaves israel engaged to Nicola, or she leaves as his ex. She\u2019s a grown woman.<\/p>\n
Nicola did not expect this. They both felt that their union is fated, but it sounds like he was taking it for granted that she\u2019d marry him no matter what.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile in a trendy, modern city, Meisha wanted to go out on the town with Nicola. She even talked him into an overshirt, it seems.<\/p>\n
But that, to Nicola, is where the fun stops.<\/p>\n
Meisha might like having a good time, but in his mind, going to a bar or a nightclub is immersing oneself in temptation and sin.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMeisha was able to convince Nicola to give it a shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t stay more than half hours,\u201d he warned her.<\/p>\n
Anyone can opt for an early evening, of course. But Nicola also seemed to feel that Meisha was being a bad Catholic by \u2026 dancing?<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMeisha drinking alcohol, dancing, clubbing, and he annual smoking of a single cigarette are all against Nicola\u2019s version of orthodox Catholicism.<\/p>\n
Meisha is a devout, extremely orthodox Catholic. But Nicola is on a whole other level.<\/p>\n
Many viewers, particularly Catholics and ex-Catholics, have taken to social media to express their confusion. Where in Catholic theology is Nicola\u2019s stance coming from?<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTo some, he sounds more like an offshoot of Calvinism than Catholic doctrine.<\/p>\n
Particularly, we would point out that some Christian theology upholds experiencing and then resisting temptation.<\/p>\n
To be blunt, if we remember Christian theological writing correctly, Jesus went to the garden in Gethsemane and resisted temptation \u2014 instead of simply not going at all.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis brought up an important topic for Meisha. Because it\u2019s not just that she, also a devout Catholic, is fine with having a good time and not taking things to a \u201csinful\u201d level.<\/p>\n
She has two daughters. One is a young adult, the other is just a couple of years younger. Will Nicola be judging them if they have a social life?<\/p>\n
Nicola said no. Not because he approves, but because he doesn\u2019t want to clash with them and thus sabotage his relationship with Meisha.<\/p>\n (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUltimately, Nicola ended up having a lot of fun in the nightclub. Dancing with Meisha will do that.<\/p>\n
However, some viewers are already predicting that he\u2019s going to hold this against Meisha.<\/p>\n
It will depend. Is his resistance to having fun <\/em>rooted in his understanding of theology, or is it really about control<\/em>?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During this week\u2019s episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days, Meisha and Nicola spent more time together.
