Some people propose after 3 months and others propose after 10 years. Is there a reason for the drastic differences for the proposal times outside of preferences or should there be some outspoken timeline everyone should follow socially? When it comes to timings for milestone moments in a relationship, the reality is a couple should go through each step in their relationship progression only when it’s right for them. It all depends on timing in life, emotional availability and readiness.

The word "psychic" jumped to a one-year high the week of March 8, 2020. That’s the same week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began issuing guidance on COVID-19. In respect to Crystals, the Bible mentions rubies (Proverbs 8:11), sapphires (Lamentations 4:7), and topaz (Job 28:19), for example. Crystal Therapy: The proposed healing benefits of crystals predominantly surround areas of mental wellbeing. Let us explain and bring you to a new level of spiritual conciousness that will most likely change your current situation.

For those who seek to have children, and those that don’t, a monogamous relationship is usually deemed the most ideal unit from within which to procreate or simply to coexist with a partner. It represents stability, support and, bizarrely, social success of being in a relationship. The practice of monogamy has largely remained unquestioned in contemporary society. For even those of us that are more liberal-leaning, monogamy is still broadly considered sacrosanct. Polyamory is becoming more visible and accepted.

Criticizing bonnets being worn in public is NOT policing Black women. Although bonnets are a part of the culture, they are NOT a part of what makes us Black. But at what point do we have to call out conversations that keep being had about Black women in general? Can Black women just exist??

The crack epidemic destroyed the black family structure. It took the value away from the man and placed it in the woman’s hands. Black men fell into the traps of fast money and drug addiction, which left their counterparts no choice but to take advantage of government programs that rewarded black women for being single parents. In my eyes, determining the value of black men isn’t tangible. Statistics don’t tell much of the story and listening to rants on social media such as Twitter and Facebook can place misconceptions on black men. As a Black man, your value is determined by you and your family and no one else. What your wife and child need from you is your value. Most importantly, knowing that you are needed, is where your value lies.

While 74.3 percent of all White children below the age of 18 live with both parents, only 38.7 percent of African-American minors can say the same. Instead, more than one-third of all Black children in the United States under the age of 18 live with unmarried mothers—compared to 6.5 percent of White children. 57% of millennial parents had at least one child out of wedlock. 64% of millennial moms reported at least one birth out of wedlock and 40% of babies born in the United States were born to an unmarried mom. Let's indulge the various reasons why.

One of the most controversial questions about a relationship between a man and a woman is: can they ever really just be friends? If a man and a woman are friendly enough and like enough things about each other, then why can't they just date? What prevents them from getting romantic with each other? People often assume platonic friendships never succeed, especially if one of you “catches feelings” or misreads certain signals as signs of attraction. Sometimes platonic friendships do shift into romance.

Sometimes these movies and tv shows only highlight the negative Black experiences, and ignore the positive, which then places negative stereotypes on Black people that represent us as subordinates and consistently in pain and suffering. Many TikTok-ers have complained about these movies causing PTSD in the Black community. It also adds to the “White Savior” complex (e.g. Hidden Figures) which elevates the representation of White people who “assist” the black protagonists in these movies be relieved of their troubles and reach their freedom.

Relationships grow better when we understand each other and everyone gives and receives love differently, but with a little insight into these differences, we can be confidently equipped to communicate love well. This is true for all forms of relationship – for married or dating couples, for children and teenagers, for friends and coworkers, for long-distance relationships, for those brand-new loves and for the romances that are older than the hills. But do you practice them? Because relationships work best when partners’ primary love languages align—when individuals predominantly demonstrate their love in ways that their partners appreciate the most or when individuals go out of their way to speak their partner’s primary love language.

In a recent study, data showed that BLACK MEN have admitted to cheating more than any other race. ALSO, that most cheating happens after 35 years old. With more people over 65+ admitting to it! The data also shows, most participants grew up in a home without both of their parents and do not attend religious services that often. How is this correlated? Why are Black Men being chastised in the media and in private? 

Do they deserve it? Is is just societal influences? Are Black Men really the weakest link? Let's discuss.
