Marriage: Myth or Fact #4
Time for another “Marriage: Myth or Fact”!
Is this a Myth or Fact?
The keys to long-term marital success are good luck and romantic love.
Answer:
Rather than luck and love, the most common reasons couples give for their long-term marital success are commitment and companionship. They define their marriage as a creation that has taken hard work, dedication and commitment (to each other and to the institution of marriage). The happiest couples are friends who share lives and are compatible in interests and values
BTW: These facts are from a study done by Rutgers

I’m sorry… I’m going to have to go against the grain on this one… I think that this is FACT!… Good romance goes a LONG way in resolving issues. Even BIG issues. I know me and my wife went through our period where we seperated for about a year. The fact that she was easily able to seduce me whenever she wanted to do so went a LONG way toward me working out my own internal issues that was keeping us apart.
Yea there are a lot of other things that go into a good marriage, but good romance roughes out a LOT of jagged edges.

To the couples,
I won’t use the word luck, but most success is about getting breaks. Romance will keep you grounded, focused, and give you the courage and motivation to succeed.
For example, I am an educated black male professional. I have worked many times harder than white males and have been given far less breaks.
Hard work on the job and in romance has always been important. The problem is that things have gotten so much tougher out here that getting breaks can make all the difference.
I would like to see more black women and their families helping out their black male husband/son in laws by cheering them on, introducing them to influential people for their career, and stepping in to help the couple when they hit lows in the relationship/marriage.
There things are what white america does every day. And look at the result. White america does not have a 73% single female epidemic, a 50% black male unemployment rate, and the host of other problems that black america is famous for.
And never undrestimate the power of romance. There is little that a black man in love won’t do for his significant other. And… he will go even more miles when he has a family of well wishers cheering him on and giving him the breaks he so deserves.

If you want your marriage to work make sure God is at the center of it.
