Comments on: The Black Woman: Backbone of the African American Family? http://blackandreformedministries.com/2008/03/05/the-black-woman-backbone-of-the-african-american-family/ "But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises."

And thanks Mr. Woods for such a truthful and thought-provoking article. As a black woman (38 and single) I have often wondered "Are there any black men left who are willing to be taught to be good fathers and husbands". I have all but given up on wanting to be married b/c every black male I have met (and by no means-is this comment to smack down the black males' confidence) were wounded from their past relationships, looking for a woman to take care of them, or just not interested in 'any-type' of positive growth in his life. My friend girl (28 yr.old) talk often about our very small selection of husbands-which we faintly believe are somewhere out there praying for a good woman, but just can't find us in the crowd. (smile). Rest assured- I've definitely learned that my happiness was not intended to come from 'having a man' or else I would be suicidal by now- I, along with the other 42% of black woman who have never been married.

Sometimes I don't think we will last ..I don't want to break up my family because my son needs his father and I need God's blessing but my Boyfriend will not marry me! How do I go on like this... do I just move out or stay?

We are suppose to be the intermediators in the eyes of God biblically and not only that ( its states that in Islam)WE ( men ) are responsible for the steward ship of not only ourselves but for the children as well. Can any of you ( men) REALLY deal with that?? I have 2 grown kids they are doing alright for themselves but I ( meaning ME) didnt do the right thing spiritually for them or by them! Those of us that have offsprings ( children will be dealt with on the day of Judgement ( that really scares the crap out of me !!) Brother thanks for pointing this out I prayfully Hope that your article clubs a few more folks about our situation Keep up the great work and may God bless you .I am getting my stuff together with my maker in part to your article!! read the article, alot of good points are presented however,
