HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 3
Before we head further into the last part of this series, I wanted to lay out a few items for young men to consider. I’m not going to pull any punches. This first item is going to be a doozy and has been ducked and dodged in our modern era by BOTH society and the church.
It has become ‘fashionable’ for girls and women to birth Out Of Wedlock children. In fact, the system has so ‘rigged’ OOW births to the point that the mother o
HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 2
As we pick up our commentary from part one, let’s take the time to review some of the highlights through the hints I have been blessed to share thus far concerning young men and the building of successful marriages. An old African Proverb plays a major part in this series on marriage: “Give advice. If one will not take it, let adversity teach them.” I am merely providing advice for young brothers on marriage from a biblical, busines
HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 1
One of the joys of writing on topics from a biblical, business and common sense perspective over the years is that as the times advance, a need to revisit certain topics becomes necessary.
Marriage is one of those topics.
There is a LOT to unpack on this subject. Thus, I advise my young brothers to grab a mug of coffee or tea and settle down for some teaching on the issue of marriage—from one who has gone before you. The ‘
WHERE REAL MEN ARE UNINVITED—PART 3
For those who may have tuned in late, REAL men—the ones who have Jesus Christ in their lives—have been pushed out of the discussion on a slew of issues involving the family. Three of them come immediately to mind: No-Fault Divorce, Child Support and Visitation, and the largest quicksand pit of the three—Abortion on Demand. Further, biblical marriage—between one man and one woman for life—has been disregarded by BOTH Pro-Life and Pro-Murder (Pro-Choice)
WHERE REAL MEN ARE UNINVITED, PART 2
Real men get married before they procreate—which is the way God intended for it to be. This is God’s best for REAL men (and the women who love them). REAL men under the bonds of Jesus Christ will always shoot for God’s best. Yes, they can come up short. Yes, they can sin. However, they are quick to repent, forsake their sin, and get back on the narrow highway of life under God.
In our current era, one may be shocked to hear a man referred t
ERASED: FATHERS—AND SONS
One does not have to be a ‘rocket scientist’ to notice that the media narrative—even in our cartoons—contains a major league ‘erasure’ of father and son relationships. This ‘erasure creep’ has been going on since the 1990s. We’ve been treated to more ‘ink’ about the ‘woes’ of the WNBA, Women’s Soccer and female college athletics that the social engineers should be choking on the high levels of estrogen in the air. Then, we have noticed the rise of strong female
WANNA END ABORTION? BRING BACK REAL MARRIAGE!
It seems simple to me. IF countries—including the United States—want to put a sever crimp in the number of abortions performed every year, traditional marriage should not only be encouraged, but held up as THE example of the best way to have children—and that is in wedlock. Let the critics of such an action be damned!
However, do NOT expect the ‘wizards of smart’ of the two political parties to catch my drift for three reasons: 1) BOTH D
LET’S HEED OUR MENTORS
It seems that every time we read about a teen or young adult involved in a horrific crime, one of the first things that ‘leaps’ out of his/her background is the fact that he/she was the product of a broken—or single parent—home. What the ‘mainstream mess’ and social media bytes leaves out is how many times this teen/young adult hoodlum (ie gang banger or thuggette) received good advice from a trusted relative, teacher, friend or mentor and STILL decided that they wa
REAL MEN VS. THE FEMINIZED FRONT
Lately, I’ve been having a great time re-discovering classic westerns starring the legendary Randolph Scott—an actor who, in my opinion, has been very underrated in the western genre.
A great example of his work comes from the flick “Decision at Sundown”—a western with plot twists a-plenty. Towards the end of the flick, Scott’s character—after the townspeople have begun celebrating the ridding of the town of the chief bad guy—makes this startling sta
SECRETS TO SOLID RELATIONSHIPS—PART THREE
In our last thrilling installment, we briefly covered the subject of having Christ involved in not only your dating life, but your marriage as well. Yes, I know that the ‘lifting up’ of God may be considered ‘offensive’ to many. Feel free to contact me at my email addy and apologize. This series is on having solid relationships. A solid connection by an individual to God through Jesus Christ AND having relationships with individuals who hold a
SECRETS TO SOLID RELATIONSHIPS—PART TWO
Continuing from my last column for the men in the house, the first secret to having a solid relationship is to start with God through Jesus Christ. The KJV Scriptures are a wealth of wisdom and information. Not only will the Bible tell you the type of people to meet…it will ALSO tell you the types of people to avoid at all costs. If YOU are a Christian man, brother, a Christian woman is whom you should marry. In fact, a Christian man should not e
SECRETS TO SOLID RELATIONSHIPS—PART ONE
I’ve been checking out some of the ‘relationship’ advice blogs and videos on social media and, quite frankly, have not been all that impressed with the content and the direction. Suffice it to say that God has been left out of many a relationship equation. Without God’s involvement, and heeding the KJV Scriptures, a house will not become a home.
Always aim for God’s perfection in building solid relationships. He’s all in. Are you?
Let me
PROFANITY, CLASS & CONSEQUENCES!
During my teaching days I wrangled grades 6 through 12. You would NOT believe how many warnings and scoldings I had to give the students—even those IN my classes—regarding profanity. It was one thing to hear 16-and 17-year-olds cuss or swear in the hallways. It was another thing entirely to hear profanity from the mouths of 12-year-olds--many of whom had just learned how to find their way to the cafeteria for lunch. The depressing part of teacher enforc
“A man’s love goes through his stomach. A woman’s love goes through her purse.”

There seems to have been a welcomed re-surfacing of interest in proverbs from the Motherland of Africa. The electronic frontier has been criss-crossed by a variety of websites, each one worthy in its own right to bring the truth of what our ancestors stated in brevity on the subject of the day from ages past. However, for those who still into reading books and turning pages, such written works seem
I might get into a little trouble with this month’s column, but it is an overdue subject concerning women and coaching. I realize that there may be some that think that my column is a little one dimensional. Believe me, there are three dimensions when I put keys down to electronic paper. So, I warn you in advance…get out the smelling salts.
Women SHOULD be coaches, too! However, the need is for women to coach OTHER women, more than men, and vice versa. There are certain things that ONLY

A friend posed a question to me a few days ago that I found very thought-provoking. How has the availability of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra affected marriages and monogamous relationships? The question came from a man who has no virility issues, so please leave assumptions at the door as we explore this topic. The question itself is insightful, but since Viagra is relatively new (first introduced in 1998), the answer is currently unknown.
What we do know is that Viagra c

According to Census Bureau (2000) reports, there has been a steady decline of couples of all races getting married. For the past thirty-six years, the marriage rate has gone down by fifty percent. More couples are opting to live together rather than "risk" their relationship to a marriage that has a fifty percent chance of ending in divorce, per current U.S. divorce rates.
However, for African Americans, the decline in marriages is disproportionate when compared to the general
