Whether as a wife, lover, daughter, or friend, each of us is involved in some type of relationship. Because relationships come in various forms, we will explore all of the many types in this section, touching on each of their unique dynamics.


Looking for a Good Man
A brother wonders whether women really want a "good" man or just say they do


Take our Poll: In Brandon Massey's article, he bemoans the fact that many women seem to pass up the decent guys for the more exciting bad boys with the fancy cars and suits. Now take an honest look at yourself before you answer this question. Are you a bad boy lover? Do you forego the church-going brother for one who you know is a playa just for the thrill? Again, be honest.


Are you Unevenly Yoked?
Like the Bible says, two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement
Yes. I like the playas because they have what I want
No. I want a brother who's decent, even if it means that he might not be as exciting as a playa.

If you don't have a map, you don't know where you're going
