Finish this sentence: Our marriage is still standing in spite of…
Marlon: In spite of ourselves, is what first comes to mind. In spite of those things that are in us (pride, etc.), we’ve done a great job of loving each other, loving on each other and working with each other.
Rashida: In spite the day-to-day challenges…life’s challenges, business, children, etc. Despite the haters that try to mess up your game and mess with you — it just draws us closer and makes us stronger. It can be a strain and stress on your marriage when you have little ones that need so much of your time. But it’s important to make time for your spouse as well. So our marriage is still standing despite the lack of sleep! [laughs]

Great interview. Thanks for sharing your story.
This is a great story. It’s nice to read about something positive for a change and to see a family (not just a black family) being successful, working together, and taking a mature and realistic approach to developing, balancing, and maintaining their family structure. What a blessing!
God bless this beautiful couple. They inspire me and my husband to step out in faith and pursue a business together that will utilize our God given talents and abilities to the upmost.
