Everyone is going to have their own ways of thinking about this. Some of my Christian girls won't move in with them until they're married. I get that girl, praise the Lord.
The other girls. I want you to live with your guys because I want to. I want you to know if you can live with him or not. Now, this is, I think, especially going to be helpful for black women who are dating and getting married to black men. Because you have to understand that 2/3 of black households were these black men were raised by single black women. And so many of them are looking for replacement mothers. And so they are going to act and live like little boys. And I don't want you to be in a situation where. Because this is how people get divorced. Not only are you making more money than the single black guy that you were dating, but now you have to take care of the house and.
