Lonnie – I miss you on Facebook. Anway, you are right. Your wife is beautiful. Hope to see you back on FB, if not shoot me an e-mail, it would be great to stay in touch. I like the natural locks on both of you.

Aw I love their story and it really gives me hope that black love is still alive. The divine intervention thing is so cute and I completely believe. You know many women would have brushed Lonnie off and thought he was crazy but Danielle was smart and intuitive enough to realize that the words he spoke were true even if they did sound to good to be real. I wish you two the best. Stay blessed.

My comment is obviously months behind, but this is a beautiful story. I’m actually able to take things from it that can be applied to my own relationship. The rhetoric used by K. Danielle is beautiful – a cool breeze of perfectly delivered words. All I can say is thank you for sharing your story!

Keep doing the hard work of marriage and raising children. Stay in focus of God, family and work. Don’t forget to pray together, forget the little things and always remember there is nothing better out there for you but each other.

Lonnie, that was a great interview…..ummmmm but with a body like that, does your husband have any single brothers? I just had to check on that! Damn! They must have good genes in that family. Help a “sister” out!!!

This is K. Danielle. Thanks for reading and commenting on our story.

To answer some questions: We rejoined after being apart for several years. That is not to say that time heals all wounds; however, it can enhance your perspective and allot time for maturation. The issue was always his folks; as someone else related, they were disrespectful – from the “jump” – without reason. It made no sense, makes no sense and, I believe, is a function of their own issues/pathologies that existed before I ever entered the picture. I have my own theories, but that is an offline conversation!

I do believe that if a divorced/divorcing couple reconciles, something in the dynamic has to change – proactive via counseling or finding new ways to deal with an issue that may never go away (like we did).

TheRuffian, we met in the “women’s building” at TSU. I think maybe we can take our kids around for a tour of the hallowed ground that eventually led to their creation when they are older. LOL.

Wow that is a great story. Me and my wife-to-be have gone through similar (though not exactly) circumstance. Especially interesting to me as I am also an alumnus of TSU and can picture exactly where they met.

Hello….I am happy to see that you were able to find your way back to each other. What makes this time around different from the first time? What did you do to prevent the same old situations and arguements from occuring the second time?

I suspect it just takes a commitment and an effort from both of you to make it work. My cousin is breaking up with her husband and she mentioned that she might want to get back with him.. But nothing has really changed..no counseling.. nothing..So they will get back together and go through the same drama within a months time.
