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 #015: Domestic Violence in the Church Can’t Always Be Prayed Away…

#WednesdayWisdom #013: MEN…Don’t Be Eaten Alive By A Strong Black Woman
After Jill Scott's said this, every man needs to read the book His Leadership Her Trust if you don't want to be EATEN ALIVE by a strong black woman. It's not a game. Strong black women are not to be trifled with. They have been forged through the burning sands of...

Happy #WednesdayWisdom!!! When I came up with the name ‘His Leadership Her Trust’ for my blog in 2013, I knew a lot of people would attach their own understanding to what 'His Leadership' means…and the conditions under which ‘Her Trust’ applies. That’s fair. I...
