It’s a necessary dialogue about a generation-old taboo and its traumatic after effects.

Tisha Campbell announced today that she’s filed for divorce after twenty years of marriage to husband Duane Martin. Wonder if this has anything to do with her recent meeting with Martin Lawrence and Tichina Arnold. Especially since rumor had it for years that Tisha’s personal off camera relationship with Lawrence went sour under Duane’s influence.
Religion, particularly Christianity, has played an outsize role in African American history. While most Africans brought to the New World to be slaves were not Christians when they arrived, many of them and their descendants embraced Christianity, finding comfort in the Biblical message of spiritual equality and deliverance. In post-Civil War America, a burgeoning black church played a key role strengthening African American communities and in providing key support to the civil rights movement. African Americans have been faithful to Christianity, yet endured so much and some ask the question, why didn’t God stop the suffering of His people?
It’s never a good practice and a bad habit to start. The transfer of money in relationships often complicate things, especially when the intent women have for the men they love often backfire. Some women will sacrifice their financial security by trying to buy a man’s love. That never work because men are socialized to provide and protect. But if a woman is treating him like a child then he will not gain financial responsibility to empower himself. Men who may accept money from women secretly resent or disrespects the woman that can give him money. This type of man will prefer to spend his life with a woman who made him believe he can overcome his financial obstacles, no matter how long it takes. Provided she’s willing to wait.
