Dear Deanna!
If a relationship is doing well and
things are fine without marriage,
why do women complain? I ’ ve been
with my girlfriend for nine years
and sometimes she rants about
being legal and having a piece of
paper justify our relationship. I feel
it w on't make any difference be­
cause we have love and neither one
of us is going anywhere. -R onnie;
Beaumont, Texas
Dear Ronnie:
So you want to sacrifice salvation for
physical comfort? True, your court­
ship lasted longer than most mar­
riages. If you love the relationship
you should do the right thing and
not fornicate by living the shacking
lifestyle. Marriage will change things
because you'll have the true bless­
ing of God over your relationship as
well as many marriage perks and
benefits. After 9 years, quit playing
and do the right thing.
Dear Deanna!
I’m in prison and have been here for
over 10 years. My children were
babies when I left and my wife al­
ways throws it in my face that I
never did anything for them. No I
haven't paid child support or pro­
vided material things, but I can share
wisdom. Now they’ve gone astray
and she's blaming it on me. I feel I
can help if she would only bring
them to see me. -Anonymous;

Dear Anonymous:
Child support and material things
don't raise children. Love, support,
and wisdom along with discipline
and faith lead children in the right
way. She should be bringing those
kids to visit you every chance she
gets. A child seeing their father in
prison is the ultimate tool to help
them do right and stay out of trouble.
When they visit, help them by keep­
ing it real about the consequences
of your misdeed that landed you in
prison and took your life, your
dreams and your family.
Dear Deanna!
I spent so much time raising my
kids that I lost m yself in my m ar­
riage. Next thing you know, my
husband files for divorce, takes
the house, the money and the
kids. Now he’staking me to court
for child support and I do n 't think
its right. I d on’t know what to do
as a housew ife with no educa­
tion. —Jeanie; Paoli, Penn.

Dear Jeanie:
If you had custody of those kids
you would’ve beat the court doors
off the hinges trying to get some
money Regardless of gender, ab­
sent parents should pay child sup­
port. Like being homeless, divorce
is not an overnight thing and you
should've seen i, coming. You knew
what you were working with. Like
they tell men, stop whining, get a
job and handle your business even
if you have to flip a few burgers.
Host Charles E. Long invites area
residents to attend the orations,
which were recorded live.
