A relationship cannot survive the test of time without trust.

In the black community when we think of a couselor or sitting down with a therapist there is that taboo attached to people of being psychotic and crazy. Really it's not it's just sitting down having a conversation.

Be honest about who you are and what your bringing to the table and what your expectations are.

I think a lot of men just automatically like to lie, because they feel like their protecting a women's feelings.

In so many ways I'm just thankful for common sense. Common sense keeps you out of trouble.

There's obviously more of us than there is men, so that's why its important that you feel like its someone you want to be with long term. You should make it impossible for a man/woman to want someone else providing all the things within reason.

A lot of times if you go to counseling you find out the thing we think are big issues to our partner is not near as big as we think it is.

A lot of times I feel like people stick around in a relationship because they feel a primal need to be with that person for whatever reason.

Comedy, it's a way for me to keep my acting chops. It's like a free acting class, to get up in front of a live audience. You get to have fun telling stories.

It's true that the man stealer is always lurking around the corner it's just our job and your duty to make sure they back up!

We as women look around for things that we need to pay attention too just in case.

I think most women we go through a stage in relationship, this is men and women where I'm trusting you, but now I got to test it, I have to make sure your the real deal.

Everybody when you propose and talk about putting your life together, the ultimate goal is the same. I think sometimes people forget your background and however you were raised. You want to have a different route to get to that goal.

I just want to be in the moment and enjoy the outdoors and nature. Be able to take advantage of all the things God provided for us. That would be really nice.

I don't know if it's still taboo in our culture but counseling is a great thing because sometimes you need someone from the outside to sit down and go over whatever the questions or conflicts are and come to a resolution.

Your basically saying when your ready to marry somebody your wanting to spend your whole life with them with their flaws and all. If your still testing them then it's something there that needs to be worked out. That really falls on the person doing the test. A lot of times it is based on insecurities.
