“It takes two to make a thing go right.
It takes two to make it out of sight…”
Rob Base said it and here are a few folk that immediately come to mind who are holding true to it:
Barack & Michelle Obama
Will & Jada Smith
Yolaunda & Trey Webster
Tisha Campbell & Duane Martin
Denzel & Paulette Washington
Samuel L & LaTanya Jackson
Kirk Franklin & Tammy Collins
Creflo Dollar & Taffi [see video]
Angela Bassett & Courtney Vance [see video]
Trey & Yolaunda Webster since 1989
The couples skate, the couples dance, the couples walk.
A lot of people say “the vows” – but these folks walk-the-talk.
They ‘done put in many years
surpassed the jeers
chalked up more cheers
and forfieted “an exit” like many of their peers.
Facing life, reinforced — lessening fears…
It can be good. I know bout it too.
There’s something to be said for “sticking like glue.”
It ain’t easy – whoever said that was lying.
Marriage is the bombs of a success when BOTH are trying.
Will Smith is film pimping
not “many suitors” limping.
And if he is, Jada ain’t telling.
I think all is well & love is swelling.
LaTanya & Sameul L. Jackson since 1980
Samuel L‘s success
was sharpened by working with the best.
LaTanya BEEN THERE.
It looks likes it so easy – it ain’t fair.
Stop drifting (in thought) over greener grass —
Samuel L had a substance issue & LaTanya stayed in that ass.
Ah, the couples dance. It’s not always pretty,
but to have left Sam at his low would have been a real and reel pity.
Life choices are 50/50, my advice, DO PAIR UP WELL.
Mean who you choose and settle in to enjoy love for a spell.
Courtney Vance & Angela Bassett since 1997
Marriage is a challenge – it’s also a reward.
To forego partnering up also proves to be hard.
Pray to the Lord that your love in a marriage – seals.
Pray that you reap a long couples dance like Bill & Camille.
Key BLACK HISTORY Subjects that time has gracefully carried
MUST be highlighted in our culture – DO Celebrate The MARRIED.
I’m Qui, Celebrating and never hating.
We’re all connected and due for relating.
XO!!
