African-American relationships need a lifeline. Recent studies state Black women, in sum, are less likely to marry, stay married, and remarry. Those who marry do so a… Continue

Nicholle Valentine's Day Venting

Well, I never did follow up after my date because for some reason, he pulled a disappearing act. We went to a party one night, about a week after my last post, and a poetry slam afterwards, which he performed in, and had a great time. I asked him to call me the next day- he didn't, and I have yet to hear from him, 2 months later. Anyway.... I wanted to vent about V day. I am very happy for all of my married friends, my parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I tell all of them to appreciate their… Continue

Nicholle Anxiety...

Hey Ladies, I am really dealing with some anxiety right now. As you all know, I was relieved of duties from a long term relationship this summer. It lasted for six years and was big fun, but the long distances for long periods of time eventually took their toll on both of us. So now, I am starting over. And... I have a crush!!!! It has been a long time since I had one of these, and its so funny to me and my friends. I think they ask me about him just to see me gush and smile, because I am usu… Continue

Trisha Martin If It Don't Fit...

When I was a child, I remember one of my favorite songs was, If It Don’t Fit, Don’t Force It, by Kellee Patterson. That song came out in 1978 and I could not have known what they were talking about at such an early age because if I had, years later, I would not have stayed in my marriage as long as I had. Actually, I don’t even know if I would have gotten married at all to the man that fathered my three boys. I mean really, in the three years before we even tied the knot, I had gone through an o… Continue

Shelby Hill Ahh Yes...The Married Life!

Ahh Yes…The Married Life is a hell of an experience! It raises challenges of all sorts but, it affords sooo many invaluable benefits. You know like consistent companionship and affection. You have a best friend that you can talk to about anything and you know that your secret is safe with No judgment! Ahh YES...The Married Life! Sure there's an argument here and there, some attitude when least expected but, that only means that you're missing one another and it's time to reconnect in the uninhib… Continue

Shelby Hill Communicate & Praise Your Mate

I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase “if you give someone what they want, they’ll give you what you want.” Well, that doesn’t happen as often as we wish. What people must realize is that it is very important how they go about getting what they want from the person they want it from. The person here is your mate. Allow me to share with you a very effective and easy technique that my wife and I practice with each other from time to time. I like to call it the 'Communicate & Praise' technique.… Continue

SToliver Why Is He The Right One?

I turned 40 this week and began reflecting on all the ways I have been Blessed. I thought I would share this one with the "He Is the RIGHT One community...... I Love to share the story of how God Blessed me to be available for my husband to find me. Quite sometime ago, I'd asked God that if he was going to Bless me with a lifelong partner to please do so before I was "40" and early enough so that my daughther reapes the benefits of a two-parent home (its OK to be specific). At this time I simp… Continue

KG Well...

I haven't heard from him at all today. No good morning text... nothing. I refuse to jump to conclusions, but u know I have. Still, it hasn't spoiled that fact that I went on a date. That in itself is reason enough for me to stay excited. I am proud of myself to not have reviewed the date to see what I had done wrong. In truth there is nothing to review. Everything went smoothly. So, I might try the internet dating again. Yet, I am not interested in paying a site to read the emails, I've received… Continue

KG First Date

Yesterday, I went on my first date with a new guy. It was my first in years. I never realized how much I stayed at home. It wasn't until someone came to me for help last week and we discovered her visit wasn't about her. It was about me and her delivering a message to me. I was floored, but this morning verified it. My first date was nice, the plans we had were trashed. No movie. No dinner. Instead we spent time talking without detractions. It was nice. We learned about the other. He is younger… Continue

Shelby Hill RE-Connect With Your Mate

This is really just a reminder that spontaneity is crucial in a relationship. If you don't act when you want to act regarding intimacy, quickly, often it results into a "comfort level" and then those “Wants” become “I Wanted TOs” with your mate. Even in the most conservative relationships, creativity and spontaneity (at some level) is necessary. So what's wrong with a little surprise now and then?! Put on that something sexy and play some Luther Vandross, Marvin Gay or Keith Sweat... just set th… Continue

Gina Marie OPRAH WINFREY - ABOUT MEN

Original version Posted by Sistah42 on July 31, 2008 at 7:26pm If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treat… Continue

Its summertime and that means its time for summer love! If you don't have one, ya better find one! And if you got one...HOLD ON to 'em! It's HOT and STEAMY this time of the year.
