Athlete and reality TV star, Mike Edwards opined that a black woman doesn’t need to experience difficulties with a man before enjoying with him in a relationship or marriage.
This is contrary to popular opinion that a woman has to suffer with a man before she can enjoy his wealth.
Mike Edwards is married to Perri Shakes and they have a son together. Some months ago, he spoke about faithfulness in marriage.
His words:
“How do you stay faithful? I get asked this question a lot lately and despite the obvious reason of falling in love with the most incredible woman whom I get to call wife @itspsd. I figure I’d write my answer here for what it’s worth.”
“Well, my answer is strength no weakness. A man with no self discipline will fall weak and lead astray, having the discipline and respect for yourself and significant other becomes a habit, and with time habit becomes second nature.”
“I would also say that sacrifice is a vital part of what has helped me. The key is you have to be able to sacrifice who you are, (ex. old habits) for who you’ll become, don’t be afraid of taking the road less traveled in the process. Hint: Find yourself spiritually.”
“Lastly, your environment. I believe in the saying you are the company you keep. My advice is surround yourself with people who have similar standards and family values as you.
Simple”
