This coming Sunday is Black Marriage Day, March 22, 2009! The theme this year is First Comes Love: Guiding Our Youth to Marriage. I never heard of this until about a month ago, but I think it’s an awesome project. It started in 2001 with the passion of founder and executive director Nisa I. Muhammad. The concept is to help teens, couples, and singles create healthy relationships and healthy marriages to better the outcomes for children. “We’re creating a cultural shift in the Black community to reconsider marriage and celebrate the joy that exists in spite of the pain we often experience,” Nisa Muhammad, said.
It’s funny how much our environment has an effect on us. When you grow up seeing unhealthy relationships, you are more likely to repeat the same mistakes. Let’s get behind this celebration, do something positive with your mate. To all my single folks out there, you are not exempt from this. I want you to get out there and do something positive for yourself. That man or woman is on the way…trust me!
