This is for the GROWN FOLKS, for SURE!
"Life is about evolving. Each day is a journey. Each year is a teacher, and every lesson should be applied." -Nadine Frye
What would you do if you felt you were suffocating in a marriage that you’ve been in for 18 years? This was a beautifully written story about Marion & Brenda Suitland who have been married for 18 years & have 2 children. In this short 80 page book, you learn that “marriage is a union of togetherness, but it doesn’t mean your individualistic needs stop. You both share a journey, but you will separately change. You have to evolve with those changes. You’ve gotta give each other the space to grow.” As well, that maybe just maybe, one or both parties is going through something the other doesn’t even know about.

The Real MVP
A sweet HEA☺️‼️However, the real MVP is/was the sage advice from Papa Marshawn to his son Marion “Marriage is only as good as the work you put into it….” & “Don’t fumble your MVP, chasing things that can’t comfort, motivate, or get you closer to God.” Marion owes both Brenda & his dad for the tools needed to salvage his marriage. More so, the impetuous for their festive Yuletide Renewal 🥰‼️ “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was a great holiday 🎄love story 📖‼️

You Mean The World To Me
I’m glad that Marion got his act together because Brenda was in desperate need of some TLC because she was most definitely at her breaking point. I love the fact that they rededicated themselves to each other and that it was on Christmas day was even more special.

All I Want
A true depiction of the ebbs & flows in a long marriage. I loved seeing Marion listen and go about making things right for his family.
