The first excerpt was published yesterday, about the effect of current factors on marriage — utterly fascinating look at the economic reasons behind what armchair pundits are quick to label ‘Black Culture’… but […]
I’m single, and getting through the holidays was hard. Apparently, it’s not any easier for married couples. In fact, the holidays often put a crushing burden on marriages, and the first working Monday after the New Year sees a spike in divorce filings.
