Real Black Love: Black Kings and Black Queens. This is an inspirational and empowering article about African American love. Whether you’re married, in a relationship, and/or single, this article is an absolute must-read! Stephanie Lahart writes honestly and freely about what Black Love looks like to her. Black Love is beautiful when shared with the right person. When Black men and Black women come together and their relationship is solid, Black Love is powerful!
Kings and Queens don’t compete against one another. They support, encourage, and help each other out to the best of their ability. They fully understand that they’re a team. His success is her success and her success is his success. Every decision that they make is for the betterment of their union, and because of that, they’re a power couple.They build each other up, NEVER tear one another down. They choose their words wisely when they speak. They understand the power of words once spoken. Running off at the mouth and talking crazy to one another is foolish and immature. Kings and Queens don’t entertain such foul behavior.
They love each other for who THEY are. Respecting one another’s uniqueness, flaws and all. They understand that nobody’s perfect.
They are faithful to one another. They wouldn’t dare entertain cheating and being deceitful in their relationship. They both know what they have in each other and no other man or woman could come between them. Cheating is total disrespect! That’s not something that they’re willing to play with. Even when they’re apart from one another, the respect is still present. He’s a representation of her and she’s a representation of him.
Kings and Queens complement each other very well. They make each other look good. When they step out, people can’t help but to take notice of their blessed union. Their love for one another is genuine and rare. The love that they share is powerful, solid, and beautiful! They exude real Black love.
The King respects his Queen and the Queen respects her King. Respect is a big deal! They understand that without it, there is no real value in their relationship.
They are one! He feels her pain and she feels his pain. But together, they fight through it all. Giving up is NOT an option for them. They always rise above because they have each other. Together, they represent strength, courage, and wisdom. They are resilient, strong, and committed. Their union is the real deal. Oh yes it is!
Communication is important to the both of them. It keeps their relationship healthy and free from unnecessary drama.
Sex and romance is not lacking in their relationship. They don’t believe in withholding their love from one another. They don’t play childish games like that.
They BOTH spoil each other with love, honesty, commitment, honor, appreciation, attentiveness, kindness, and understanding. Kings and Queens love their mates properly.
They’re never too busy for one
another. They understand that “TIME” is valuable. They both understand that
balancing work/life/school is of great importance. They are a priority to one
another, not an option.
Trust… without it, any relationship is doomed. So with that being said, they are honest with one another, even if it hurts. They understand that lying to one another is just NOT worth it! It’s better to be upfront with each other because lying causes division and unwanted problems.
Neither one of them are selfish to a fault. They are both okay with compromising because they understand that you can’t expect to ALWAYS get your way. That’s just not fair to either one of them.
And although they’re best friends, Kings and Queens are NOT perfect by any means. They have their bad days too. And yes, they have disagreements just like everybody else, but they don’t stay mad at each other for too long. They fully understand that anger, bitterness, and resentments lead to much greater problems. So they make sure that they communicate the problem once they’re both cooled off.

one; representing Black Love because Black Love Matters!
