Would You Commit to You? (I Need a Wife, Not a Girlfriend)
WORDS BY RASTAMAN “Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it [...]
How To Make an Interracial Marriage Work (Race Matters)
