#WednesdayWisdom #027: It’s Unacceptable for Women to Compete for a Man…Unless this Happens
I saw the shift take place in the 90’s. In fact, I was apart of it. I went to college in the late 80’s. Back then, girls had all the power. Guys would clamor for their attention. Girls would sit back…pick and choose whoever they wanted to date. If you weren’t tall...
#WednesdayWisdom #026: “Happy Father’s Day…Mom!” Should Single Mothers be Honored on Father’s Day?
One Father’s Day morning, Lil’ Joe gave me a Father’s Day card at church. I was so thankful! He was 10 years old back then. And when Jasmyn was 20, she gave me this beautifully hand-written Father’s Day card. I was so humbled. But I couldn’t help but wonder if Lil’...
#WednesdayWisdom #025: 7 Super Important Non-Traditional Things Single Men Need to Know in Looking For a Woman
I’m pro-relationships. As a relationship consultant for 16 years, I coach, teach, and cheer for successful happy relationships every day. But in 2016, for single men…picking a woman is not a top priority. Not like it used to be in the late 1940’s thru the 1970’s. The...
#WednedsayWisdom #024: Love Steph & Ayesha Curry. But Let’s Not Exalt a Couple’s Marriage Above a Status it Has Not Earned
For a year now, the media has been lavishing high-praise on the loving marriage of Steph and Ayesha Curry. That’s wonderful. They promote positive images of black marriages…something we desperately need to contrast these ratchet wives/ex-wives/girlfriend/side-chick...
#WednesdayWisdom #023: 5 Things God-Fearing Families Should Do About Obama’s Transgendered Bathroom Policy
God created man and woman. He created them to have sex with each other as husband and wife. He called that marriage. But then man decides…I want to have sex with my wife and another woman too. God called that adultery, or in some cases…an orgy. Then man decided…I...
#WednesdayWisdom #022: Why There Will Never Be A Movie About Prince
I’m a huge Prince fan. His surprising death hit me hard. As the news coverage unfolded, I was wondering, “I wonder who’s going to play Prince in the biopic movie about his life story.” I think Bruno Mars could do it. But I like Jussie Smollett (Jamal from Empire)...

I need some desperate help in order to save my relationship with my girlfriend. We have been together for a little over 3yrs and our relationship seems to built around our ability to take care of each other on business. We both have come out of bad marriages and when we met we both fell hard for each other. I have one 20 yr old son and an older stepdaughter, while Kalima has a 17yr handicap daughter a 14yr old daughter who lives with her father and a 5yr and 11yr old. I thought I was ready to jump back into family life after my wife passed in 2014, but I have let my so called life experience cause me to become complacent. On top of that I have been drinking more than usual, and it has caused a great strain on our relationship as well as my children. She thinks that I don’t love her enough to care, but I felt that my 24yrs of marriage should speak for itself….WRONG. I need to learn how to be a better partner and live a long life with her, somehow I just can’t seem to figure it out. We have had two sessions of relationship counseling but I allowed my drinking to be an excuse not to go back. And even if she may not want to participate right now I feel if she sees me trying it will help to resolve some of our differences. Also after 18yrs with one company I was let go in 2015. I work as an independent contractor for a courier service so I spend alot of time driving.
