A Black Family: marriage & manhood

Pretty Brownlee is a wife and mother of one. Curiously, she calls herself the Head Bitch In Charge!

"In marriage manhood evolves under the auspices and the guidance of a man's wife and the influence and the teachings of a man's father, good and bad. It goes against many a notion culturally held. In a patriarchal culture it is revolutionary in theory. But, to stay alive in marriage technology heavily influences the state of marriage as well as the intangible skills each era requires of a man and a woman embraced within their union of souls and purposes.

Ossie Davis, the actor, stayed married to Ruby Dee from his youth until his death. One of the things he shared with the public about marriage was the studied effect of technological advances' relationship to, and impact upon marriage. If you think about it this is relevant information because the physical survival of a family is dependent upon the couple's technical prowess and natural rhythm's within the depth of the why of their existence. But dig, this is only a component of a good marriage to develop." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1.13.14 

Pretty Brownlee honored by her husband and child.

"The capacity of a man to honor life begins here watching his father honor his mother in divers ways and postures. It is a practice taught not only with words, but actions, and the looks exchanged between his parents. The heart of a son who becomes a man is influenced during his play time when he is wondering about all of life around him. In that play his Daddy is teaching his son his practices that solidify his marriage and secure the sanctity of his children's childhood. All this from a kiss, a posture and the love between a man and his wife creates the capability and the need to honor with depth the process of life-death-resurrection."
