Thanks to everyone that provided some a destination. We got some very interesting ones so far. Shout out to Mia, Pierre, Peter, Ben, Devin, Cynthia, Jill, and Jay for your suggestions.
I’ve had some people tell me they would get back to me with their suggestions. Shawty…don’t think too hard. It’s not that serious. Just drop your suggestion in the comment box below.
“I love what you are doing.”
“Love you guys.”
“Y’all are hilarious!”
These are just some of the comments we are receiving from people in the HLHT community. We appreciated you all so much! Bernie and I are simply trying to do the things that make marriage FUN for us. Because marriage should fun be…right? We got married 19 years ago because we both found someone we wanted to spend the rest of our lives enjoying one another and making each other happy. But once life kicks…and you got bills, work, career advancement moves, children to parent (children to mentor…in my case), parents to care for, side hustles to develop — and don’t forget the umph-teen church ministry you volunteered for…marriage ends up operating like a Amazon shipment processing warehouse…not a loving relationship between two people. And ‘enjoying one another‘ takes a back seat to the operational roles and responsibilities therein.
One of our close friends put it this way,
“Life is too hard. The ‘Fun Factor’ is a necessity in all marriages.”
AGREED!!! And that’s why Bernie and I are intentionally prioritizing the ‘Fun Factor’ in our marriage.
Hence…the roadtrips. Hence, the need for your suggestions of some fun, intriguing destinations. So…real quick…input your suggestion in the comments box below.
Thank you for sharing with us as we embark on this new adventure in our marriage.

Stop Apologizing for Being Who You Are
What I won’t do…is apologize for being me. I definitely won’t apologize for feeling the way I do. And I most certainly won’t apologize for doing what God put me on earth to do. I guess I’ve been emboldened by U.S. House Representative Alcee Hastings. In a committee...
FELLAS, Stop Waiting so Long to Get Married!
Dear Fellas, On no day will I understand why black men wait so long to get married. The US Census Bureau shows, on average, every other race, both men and women, get married between 26 and 29. But you wait till you’re nearly 31. And for-real tho, who they countin’?...
Why Men Look at Other Women (an explanation not a justification)
in her late 40s/early 50s was on a date with her gentleman-friend at a semi-formal event. They were holding hands. But his neck was on swivel…looking at woman after woman. She noticed it but didn’t say anything at the moment. She...
Your Wife’s a Helpmate, but Here’s 15 Ways You Can Help Her
I asked, “If she’s the help-mate, then isn’t she supposed to follow my lead?” My Pastor responded, “As the leader, you’re supposed to take the lead in showing her how to be a servant by serving her.” Stunned! Mouth open! I never looked at being the head of the house...
Is There Such a Thing as a “Side Dude”?
So I’m having lunch with two post-college young ladies I’ve known since they were children. They’re cousins. Let’s call them Mia (23) and Tina (21). I’m doing my ‘so how’s life’ check up I regularly do with them. The topic of men comes up. Mia says, “You’ve heard of a...
