The Marriage Report

Black History month is upon us and this year is special for African Americans. We have our first Black president of the United States, Barack Obama, and have jumped a big hurdle. This hurdle is one that was built constantly through many generations of racism, lack of opportunities, lack of quality education and lack of a good quality of life. Now, the people of our country have stood up and said, "NO MORE." They want to ensure that we, as a unified nation, come together and push our country and its occupants forward, through a collective effort of everyone. This is the moment where I say "THANK GOD FOR JESUS!"

But you know, this month is special to me as an African American wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. I wear many hats, but the one that I want to kick this month off with is that of a wife. I am married to a strong Black man that deserves all the good things God has in store for him. But why does he deserve reverence this month?

God's Word
My husband is so full of the Word of God that I am in such awe. No one can speak it like he can and when he talks, it sends chills up and down my spine.

Wisdom
My husband is full of knowledge and wisdom that he has learned over the years. I can embrace it and pass it on to the next generation.

Patience
My husband has the patience of Job and I think that is enough said!

Strength
My husband stands strong not only in physical strength, but when our family is faced with challenges, he holds us together.

Love
My husband loves me unconditionally in spite of my faults or our differences.

Respect
My husband respects me as his wife, as a mother, as a career woman and as an individual person. He constantly holds me up and give me words of power to soothe my soul.

Cook
I don't think there is a man on this earth that can cook like my husband. He can cook anything and it always taste so good.

Discipline
My husband has so much discipline when it comes to doing anything, especially rearing the kids, which can be challenging sometimes.

Attire
My husband can dress better than the best of them. His ties, shoes, shirts and other attire is always top notch. AND, he can iron better than a cleaners.

Stroll
My husband has this walk that NO MAN can ever mimic or replace. His stroll is so cool, powerful and just manly!

Our Yard
No one can grow flowers, mow the lawn or keep our yard looking so wonderful like my husband. He knows which flowers to grow and which ones look best in each section of the yard. I think our grass is truly greener in our yard!

He is the best ever and I love him so much. I am so Blessed to have him in my life and it's truly a privilege for me to have this opportunity to share my life with him.

Give your husband some love this month and tell him how much of a strong Black man he is. On the other hand, if you are not married to a Black man, then just tell your husband how wonderful and strong he is to you!
