Nick Vujicic Talks Dating, Marriage & Family (Highlight)

So going through high school and college, did you come out? I left? Yeah, look, I really wanted to go on a date. I wanted affirmation from someone you know and I don't think I'm one. Not everyone is looking for a spouse, but I certainly was and definitely was. I felt like I was understaffed in the competition. I had asked several girls out during my high school years and they all said no and then there were some girls who liked me that asked me out and I was like no I'm sorry I don't feel anything so it wasn't strange, that says no, it was interesting, there was a relationship where I had someone who I met before I met my wife and I.

It was a difficult five or six year process for us to find out that unfortunately we wouldn't be together, but she now has her own

family

and I have mine and it was in 2010 that I met my amazing wife Connie, she is half Japanese. Half Mexican, we call that searching and in fact we had an intimate conversation and it was love at first sight. I looked at her, she looked at me and I couldn't feel my legs and she's amazing, she's beautiful too, but let me ask like we do. While you were in high school and college, were you afraid to approach women?

At times I had but at that time I have to say that my confidence was much greater than in primary school. You see at the time, I was 15 when I started my career. The journey of faith aligned my soul and my spirit and then the renewal of my mind happened when I was 15 16 17 years old, at 17 years old I found out that I was pretty good at math and speaking and revolving around that, then I was voted as student. government as vice president and he had something good like, how would you say, influence with everyone? Everyone knew that I basically tried to get along with everyone and at that time I was confident, so no, I wasn't shy at that time.

Let's say I know guys who have both legs and both arms and they are afraid to approach girls, it is difficult for them to get a girl, yes, look, yes, you must understand that no one can do it for you, your mom will not do it. come and say, hey, you should talk to someone, says daughter, you will stand up and expose yourself, do what is only comfortable for you, but understand, look, I say this to teenagers and young men all the time, my twin daughters, I have identical twin girls. twin daughters are two years old they will never have a boyfriend they will be looking for a husband hey well I'll let him uh I'll let him go out for coffee with someone when they can say daddy I think I'm of legal age to invite someone for coffee because really could be my possible soulmate in the future and the father of my children taught us that way that there is no

dating

, yes, and the sexual man is the biggest distraction for these. young person in whom we become so emotionally entangled that we are tied.

I'm not just saying in the category of what gender, but Lester says that he feels like he can please my boyfriend or girlfriend this way, so that makes me feel necessary. and desired when we understand that sex itself is not love, that's right, you can sleep with whoever you want as many times as you want, I still wonder if they love me, so back to the truth of who I love and recently on my podcast we. We're talking about short-term needs, you know, sometimes we have this ideology of what this person looks like, how they should look, how they should laugh, how much money they should have, you know, in their bank account, but in the end, even if it's a prince charming comes and it may not actually be what you need and so coming back to it, the awareness of your personality is that you have a gift and a passion in something that you may need someone to have that common interest in to help you. achieve it and complete your life. or is it someone we take time to realize oh my gosh, I might need someone who doesn't think like me, who doesn't look like me, you know, doesn't come from the same background as me to congratulate me for strength.

When I'm weak then it's understanding it's the façade it's the exterior it has nothing to do with who you can end up with and what we really need so how did you meet your wife? Your wife is a beautiful lady yes, how did you meet? her and what can she say yes, I love it in Texas and in a small engagement and we were all dressed, it was a at that moment I felt chemistry, a really complicated story, I will simplify it, she had a boyfriend at that time and I discovered it. Later, her ex boss wanted to hook me up to tie this knot with my wife, but my wife's sister were both there that night, so her boss asked me what you think and I told him she's one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met. . in my life then she thought I was talking about my wife sister when I was talking about my wife and then I found out my wife had a boyfriend at the time, it's like the classic soap opera, yeah, so I walked away, I didn't text, No. calls, I figured it out right, we have a communication problem and six months later I was back in Dallas and we met in a group and at that moment it was the pinnacle of my wife's thoughts where she knew that her boyfriend was not there.

She was going to be the guy she wanted to marry and when we met, the chemistry was even stronger and we started

dating

and what was really surprising to me, Jesse, why did she say yes? I still like it, I'm so grateful you knew that. I put a cream puff that I have we have a sailboat rental in Santa Barbara tray of cream puffs the one with powdered sugar I have a candy give me that one I finished a cream puff without choking on the ring and I said honey let me kiss your hand, he I put the ring on her finger and the interesting thing was that in our relationship for her, why did she say yes?

There's a point where she was saying to herself and telling God, God, I just want someone to fight for me and we had an interesting text message that day and she had this thought in the shower in Texas while I was in California and I called him and said honey, we've been dating for nine months. I just want to tell you something that I'm going to fight for you and that's for her it was this I know that I loved him I know that I could see my life with him and even my parents say: Do you realize that our son doesn't have arms or legs?

My parents said, What if my Do you know what happens if our children don't have arms or our legs? Do you know what she said? That our five children do not have arms or legs, at least I have a great example to live by and that blue of my parents. On my wedding day, my father said son, I just want to tell you that I never really thought you would get married. No, did you marry someone? She is amazing. She called me now and for me, Jesse, how did I know she was the one in 2008? You know, the global economic crisis, right?

You know, that difficult moment in my speaking career touched me and in 2011 I was diversified enough at that time, however, in 2011 I took on too many projects and had a cash flow crisis. Someone set me up with 50 G. and a lot of projects took twice as long, twice as expensive and the revenue wasn't there and they were basically about to double the total profits and I got through it but at the time I had panic attacks. I told my wife I would do it. We were only three months into our relationship at that time and I said honey, I lost all my money, you know, and she said, don't worry, honey, I'll get a nursing job and support us both.

I'm serious, man, I want to marry that woman, that's amazing, that's our love story, yeah, you.
