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.

GUYS: How to Get Out of the Dreaded “Friend” Status Without Playing Yourself
When I was in junior high school, I mustered up the courage to ask a girl I had a huge crush on “Will you go with me?” “No. Heath, you’re like a brother to me.” she replied. “Say What Now!” A brother does not feel toward you what I’m feeling…I thought to myself. How...
RUSSELL WILSON: If God Really Told You to Lead Her, Then Here’s 2 Critical Things You Must Do to be Her Leader
I am really intrigued with this one. When I first heard the story that Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback, Russell Wilson, has a new girlfriend, singer Ciara, it didn’t register a blip on my radar of care or concern. Then when I heard they were trying not to have sex, I...
5 Steps to Reinventing Your Marriage…Before the Thrill is Really Gone
Every marriage needs to hit the reset button every 3-5 years. Why? Because people grow. And you encounter…what I call…the "new needs". Remember when you where 20 years old? Did you have the same social, physical, financial, or emotional needs as you did when you were...
4 Ways to Deal with Your Mate’s Insecurities Without Breaking Up
“And who’s that?!?!” “That’s my co-worker.” “Why they have your cell number and texting you this late?” “Chris, stop trippin’! You always do that! I don’t question you…or ask who’s texting you!” Insecure people argue about everything…and nothing. They’re constantly...
5 Ways You Could Be Being Unfaithful to Your Mate Without Even Knowing It
Forget the words adultery, affair, or infidelity for now. Just because you haven’t cheated on your mate or haven’t had an emotional affair doesn’t mean you haven’t been unfaithful to him/her. The myth about faithfulness, from the eyes of the recipient, is my mate will...
