Standing the Test of Time celebrates African Americans marriages of more than 30 years while providing a rare opportunity to glimpse in to the lives of relationships that work! The stories are riveting, inspiring and filled with warmth and wisdom. They are love stories with a purpose. Deep and meaningful marriages are one the most rewarding experiences life may offer. Unfortunately, most of us have little knowledge of the tools needed to make relationships work. We're usually guided by our parents' relationships, girlfriends, homeboys or previous experiences which may lead to more failure than success. We spend a life time reacting responding, and rebounding from mistakes and misguided intentions that have caused us pain and frustration. The twenty phenomenal couples featured in Standing the Test of Time, share honest and intimate insight into their relationships to reveals valuable life lessons in love, forgiveness, communication, building a family and growing together. Wisdom gleaned from these African American elders is both intuitive and significant. A lot of people get married because they are in love. The goal is not to be in love - but to love. -Hattie Wilson, Standing the Test of Time

Marriage is the most intimate of all human relationships, where two separate, unique and whole persons (one male, one female) make a covenant and exchange vows, committing their lives to remain together until death. Marriage is a covenant, a fusion, a legal union and a blending of a man and a woman (not a man and man or woman and woman) in a life-long relationship.

A Good Name and a Strong Set of Values Will Stand the Test of Time By: Jethro Coe Jr. We all have met people who will stand firm on good principles of life and not bend to satisfy others. Values taught at home and by experience build a solid, lasting platform. Those who are honest and true to their word never see their names splashed across the news. Amid the electronic revolution, church and political leaders are both tempted and exposed by cell phones, computers, and social media. God doesn’t like it at all. He made it very clear to us that He is a jealous God. A Good Name and a Strong Set of Values Will Stand the Test of Time encourages Christian leaders and the Christian community to take a serious look at themselves and realize that the church is not setting a good example for the rest of society—but that it can once again.
