Dr. Veronica Corpening, M.D. (Spinoff of "Tired Black Man")

[Rain Man]

Greekchatters, meet Dr. Veronica Corpening, M.D.

She is the ultimate "wife doctor". Pretty, smart, and above all, a truly traditional-minded sista. Dang, I wish I knew her back in the day, cause I would've married her for sure (she has been happily married for 18+ years--I'm sure the husband is one blessed man, no doubt).

Here is her website. Check out her Fox interview with Neil Cavuto, where she ran circles around him. Also of note is her videos of her in action, located in the "Videos" link.

Now this is one Black American Woman I can dig fa' sho!
A woman after my own heart.

I agree with a lot of what she's saying but this is taking tooooo far!

C'mon now. Do you think we would have even heard of Monica Lewinsky if Hillary was in the Oval Office taking care of business?”

You cannot blame the person who's been cheated upon. Her husband could be cheating on her right now and she wouldn't know it!

She is something special.

i won't lie....that woman is bad.


i'd be her am candy, lol.

It must work for her b/c it couldn't work for me. If my fiance came home and I turned off Dr. Phil to say, how was your day...he'd look at me like I was nutz. Then he'd ask if I broke something or wanted to buy something. LOL

Basically. Like, if a woman caters to a man's EVERY needs, that automatically means he's going to stay his butt at home. Chick, please!

I am not married, but I can understand where she's coming from *BUT* it's a two-way street. A) Every woman desiring love does not need it to come from a man; it needs to come from HERSELF. Loving her own being has to be there before she can devote jack to anyone else. B) My mother'd be damned if she dropped what she was doing to please Mr. T. Yeah right! They've been married nearly 35 years and let me tell you, he knows what he has to do and she knows what she has to do. It's a PARTNERSHIP, not a brothel/spa day. He has to nuture her and she nurtures him. And that isn't GRANTED; it's earned. From both ends.

She hass some valid points but I feel like she's letting men off the hook. Yes her marriage has worked but what works for her and her husband may not work for other marriages. It's ok to share what works for you. Some people might pick up on that and utilize it in their own lives. You can't however, come across like your methods will work for everyone.

[PrettySunshine]

Hey, everyone !!! This is what I just wrote in her blog...

I have a bone to pick with Veronica!!! I am a 26 year old African-American female. Oh, and forgot to mention, single LOL. Some day I aspire to be a great wife and mother. But I am not the "submissive" type who does whatever anyone tells her to do. I also believe that household chores should be shared with whomever lives in the house. I cook because I love food, NOT because it is my job!! I clean because I was taught that cleanliness is Godliness, So I have a problem cleaning up after "grown folk" esp. if you are not disabled mentally or physically. I believe that I will be able to balance my career and home life but I KNOW that I will not be able to do all of that without the support of a good husband. As far as his needs are concerned... I'll be there to take care of them BUT he has to meet my needs as well! I foreone am a very visual person so he should maybe dress nice for me in the bedroom. Of course, I'll do the same although I hate anything lacy.

Now, I agree with somethings that you have had to say but I will never, ever, EVER...completely give myself to someone unless they are prepared to do the same!! I'm tired of women doing all these things and get nothing in return!!! Yea, I think you are letting men off the hook just like the rest of society has done. What about my needs? Why should I put my needs aside for someone who could careless about fulfilling mine! I better leave before I get in trouble lol

p.s. If you know any man that loves to cooks. Send him my way!

First, there is NOTHING wrong with the idea of submission within the confines of a Christian marriage. NOTHING! I believe there is a thread on that discussion in which we delved in-dept into that idea and topic.

Found it!

Obey? Submit? What Do You Think?

One type of woman is not necessarily better or worse than the other (submissive vs independant). If one or the other is not your cup of tea, then great, but please be sure to find a significant other that has that same mindset as you. As fine as he/she may be, if you two aren't on the same page concerning something as basic as this, then there should be no surprise to the discord that you will be bound to have.

I am educated and successful careerwise and I don't have a problem cooking for my SO or catering to his needs. But that's me and it works for us. You do what works for you.

[PrettySunshine]

Ummm Okay... So, what do you need in return from him? I mean, there is nothing wrong with catering to your man but don't you have needs as a woman?? I feel that this is the reason why so many women end up being so attached to guys because they revolve their lives around their men.

Also, I read that couples must submit to one another but for some reason people neglect to point that out but whatever. And there is a difference between submissive and submit.

If making a relationship work was as easy as "tip for tap" (what you do for me = what I do for you) I don't think anyone would ever get married. LOL

I'm saying. I thought RainMan liked the type of woman who didn't have to 'boast ' about her achievements. I did and it's not something I brag about; it's something I did. Not proudly or un-proudly; I just did it. Homegirl is trying to hard to make a point. She sounds like what some of us other Black conservatives call a 'puppet'.
