by Tara Pringle Jefferson By now, we all (or most of us) know the details of the affair South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford had with his Argentinan "soul mate," leaving his wife, kids, and constituents in his home state wondering where the heck their leader went. In her new book, Jenny Sanford, Mark's ex-wife, details how he declined to include a clause on fidelity in their marriage vows. "It bothered me to some extent, but we were very young, we were in love," she said in an Barbara Walters interview. "I questioned it, but I got past it." Obviously, it sucks to be ...

The last article I wrote was about being a supportive spouse. I have to be honest: it wasn't always like that in the house of Hairston. That information came through trial and LOTS of error. In fact, there was a time when my husband didn't even trust me with his dreams and vision. He is a strong, stately, respectable man, and he's not in the practice of mincing words very often. He is also very guarded and protective when it comes to his family. He always says that as soon as he leaves the doors of our home, he has his armor ...

We intend to show their readers that happily married black folks do exist contrary to popular belief. Click the link and please leave a comment telling us how long you've been married and how many kids you have. As long as people are telling me how college students are saying marriage is for white people we need to hustle to get the word out that we are here and that we love this life. Click ...
We've got something special for you today BMWK family. A guest post by fellow blogger Jelisa who blogs over at ...And They Lived Blogging Ever After. If you like what you see here please take a second to visit her site. I think you'll enjoy what you find. This morning, the first thing I said to Galen when he opened his eyes was, “Let’s try to live until we’re at least 94, ‘kay? Because then we’ll have been married for 70 years.” He gave me one of those “my wife’s a weirdo” / “sure, why not?” chuckles before answering “okay” and drifting back ...

My husband and I lived together before we got married. It was not a test of our relationship as much as it was a practical financial decision for both of us. A few months after we got engaged, his roommate moved out. At the same time I had temporarily moved back home [...]
