LOST: Black Love

House Keeping: Hello TWW world thank you for all the love and support...it's truly appreciated. We want to hear more from you, so feel free to comment if you like, love, or completely disagree with any of our posts..share your point of view. We would love to hear from you....thank you to those who have left comments.

So i decided to tackle the black love issue (or lack thereof) that is being heavily discussed on our blog this week and in the blog world. The question of why we don't see relationships like our parents and grandparents anymore and why aren't people staying together like they use to? has definitely been a hot topic.

I believe the reason black love is lost and may never return in the numbers of old is because of one simple phrase "on to the next one." Both men and women aren't putting up with the same stuff that our parents and grandparents did in the past. In fact people are getting millions in alimony for not putting up with poor treatment/decisions of their mates.

Our society has also changed; allowing women the financial freedom to leave a spouse or partner that she believes treats her poorly. There are books, talk shows, magazine articles, and blogs (winks) focused on informing both men and women that they deserve someone who makes them happy and what they should and shouldn't accept from their partner's.

Don't get me wrong I'm not encouraging anyone to stay with someone who treats them horribly (well your personal definition of horrible) I'm just saying times have changed. I'm not entirely sure if i would prefer the time where you stuck out a relationship through the pain...(but I'm sure i can argue both sides of that point..will maybe in a later post)

Another factor that plays a role is the influence of the media (blame the media)...seriously never in the history of man has so many relationship problems been public knowledge...between talk shows, magazines, and the internet we see so many examples of how relationships fail...it just seems to me that the human race has grown tired of each other.

 Everyday people find reasons why they shouldn't be together rather than focusing on how to get back to the place that made them want to be together (I'm in a loving mood today so I'm just gonna go with it..lol). However, what baffles me is that despite the constant barrage of what people should and shouldn't do in a relationship...the same mistakes are made everyday leading to break-ups..but I digress.

Ok ....

So is anyone out there living the epitome of black love...Share your love with the world (wink at Bourgeois on that one)
