Would You Marry You?

Everybody has a list of what they want in a partner.  But what happens when we turn the list around?  Would you marry you? Challenges black men and black women to move beyond the gender war and ask a harder, more productive question:  Am I becoming the kind of person who can recognize, receive, and sustain the relationship I say I want?  Lucius Alston takes readers from attraction to preparation, from preparation to compatibility, and from compatibility to the daily work of building a healthy partnership.
 The book examines healing, identity, purpose, money, emotional maturity, faith, sex, boundaries, family expectations, conflict, red flags, green flags, household systems, trust, repair, and the pressures affecting black love.  This is more than relationship commentary.  It is a working system.  Readers receive a 50 question relationship readiness assessment, a what I bring to the table inventory, the first 20 conversations before commitment, compatibility and red flags tools, a pre commitment agreement, a household operating system, repair and pressure plans, a black love reset, and legacy exercises for couples and families.
 The message is simple but demanding:  keep your standards, and become responsible for the person carrying them.  Preparation before partnership.  Character before chemistry.  Truth before commitment.  Teamwork before image.  Legacy beyond the two of us.
