“Her love was like armor that covered him as he went into the world. A man required that from his queen. A black man would likely die without it. It was the reason so many brothers perished too early, because they never received that affirmation from a queen. It was the black woman that strengthened the black man.”

“It’s about protecting your wife, son. Your every decision should be about what’s best for her. You give a woman loyalty, and she’ll give you every piece of her. She’ll trust you, even when you’re leading her astray. She’ll follow you, even when you’re lost. But she’s got to be your partner, son. She’s got to know that you’re taking her to a place where no one else has been. Now if you got this one, that one, and Susie up the street all following behind you, she’s going to feel like a fool. You can’t be community property. Your wife is supposed to be exclusive. That bond is irreplaceable. If it’s you and her making sense out of this crazy world together, nobody else has to understand. It’s hard. You will argue and there will be days when you don’t like one another, but you will always love one another. She is your first priority. You don’t let the weight of the world even touch her shoulders. You carry it for her.”

“A man is supposed to take care of what he values. You’re an asset. In order for an asset to retain its worth, it has to be taken care of,”
