Complementarity

by Mwalimu Baruti

The couple is the bedrock of the nation. Without it there is no family, no people. Without couples there can be no family to procreate and rear confident, untroubled, anchored children. No viable, community-respecting generation can be born to continue the process of life, living, building and defending. Afrikan couples must be whole, individually and as one. They must be able to trust their selves and each other implicitly. And that is what makes it imperative that we carefully choose our mates for Afrikan reasons. We must choose with vision. For we are the vanguard. Our unions have purpose far greater than the wants or needs of either member individually or the couple together. We do not bemoan this privilege. In fact, it is just the opposite. We are soldiers in love with forming beautiful families, rearing happy, thinking children, building strong, lasting communities, raising a mighty nation and removing all enemies. For Afrikan warrior scholar complements, there is no other reason for being.

[Denise Smith-Archer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book for African couples as well as individuals who have plans to start a family. The book, though an easy read, is packed with wisdom and provides clear direction with regard to choosing your complement/soulmate, building trust, defining love, creating a shared vision, getting married, and rearing strong children. Baba Baruti brings forth decades of experience of his own relationship with his complement to craft a wonderful book that makes clear the role of the African couple in today's world.
