I don’t think the landscape of the world has changed. I think there are forces with very strong vested interests who are attempting to take their American experiment worldwide and impose it as the new standard. For thousands of years, relationship dynamics worked just fine. Its pure arrogance to think that only in our generation, we have found a better way to do things. Lets take a look at this new relationship paradigm we are supposed to accept willingly:

*lowered standards of morality
*little to no accountability on the part of women while we increase their power, and most if not all accountability still laid upon the men while we decrease their power
*the highest divorce rate in the recorded history of mankind
*out of wedlock children gone wild
*young women who have become so gender confused, they act more masculine than men
*young men who have become so gender confused, they act more feminine than women.

I could list for days, but the point is: whatever the ancestors knew about relationships that we now despise, it sure worked. Better than anything we have today. Think I’ll stick with the ancestors…

Also as Africans living in America, we have to understand the game. Sisters, when you think like a pawn instead of a queen, you end up being checkmated. Which is what is happening to us collectively. Without your cooperation, the man’s plan to dominate us and destroy us cannot work. So sisters have to understand the game and play their role to check mate the opposition. If you know he’s giving YOU the job that he won’t give your man, don’t despise your man. Take the job, and use the income to help set your man up in business. Or help put him through school so he can aspire even higher. And fellas, you must also think like a King; not a pawn. When you have the type of woman in your corner whose willing to do this, you don’t forsake her. You embrace and build with her. She’s you most important piece, so you definitely want to keep her around.

Just my opinion.

We need to stop allowing the other side of the chess board to dominate us.

Perhaps the key comes in understanding that we are far more than what capitalism values us for — our earning and spending power. No woman can be a loving husband and father, brother, or uncle. No man can be a loving wife and mother, sister, or aunt. Whenever the situation turns — and anybody who has been married for a long time knows that life’s circumstances are going to cause some change-ups in which partner can bring what to the table — it helps to focus on those things that money cannot buy. God will see to it, if He makes the match, that all material needs (not wants, but needs) will be provided for; that being believed and received, it is important to look at the character of the individual. A mate of excellent character is priceless; economic circumstances rise and fall, but character is evergreen. If a man will not take on a woman of excellent character solely because at this time she makes more money (because that is the only criteria listed in this article) … well, that is not a mistake a man secure in himself will make. We all have our share of growing up and growing wise to do…
