When I finally stepped outside of my neat little upper middle class box, I found my loving wonderful husband who is in the military and comes from a military family (something that was completely foreign to me as a descendant of 3 generations of business owners)....and I could not be happier.
I agree, some sistahs do need to open their eyes and their hearts. I was one of them, and I thank God daily that I did.

How odd, my husband is a military man as well, 18 years, Air Force. He came from a large family who didn't have much money at all which makes him appreciate everything that he works so hard for. I am an only child so I never really remember struggling as a child. I think my husband and I both compliment each other with our different backgrounds. Exquisite5, it's wonderful to hear of another successful black marriage. I wish you and your husband many happy years of bliss.
@Bajan_Delta, Congratulations on your engagement. It seems that you are going into your marriage with a positive outlook. I think as long and you remember that in any relationship, you will have trials. However, when you make that commitment before GOD, that commitment and your love can conquer any trial that you may have. Keep us posted on the wedding plans.
