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.

#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...
