www.Blog.MarriageNectar.com - The Marriage Nectar brand began in 2006 as a series of short stories that challenged couples to act and react differently in their relationships. While the e-mails were
initially distributed to couples in the Washington, D.C. area, many of the recipients on Peachie’s list-serve began to forward the e-mails to their friends all over the world. By 2008, the e-mail was being distributed to people as far as Germany. The growth of the list-serve made way for a brand name. Therefore my husband (Reggie) trademarked the e-mail as “Peachie’s Marriage Nectar“.

www.RuleYourWife316.com - RULE YOUR WIFE blog is written to help husbands become better martial partners to their spouses. According to a Pittsburgh Healthy Women’s Study, women in healthy, happy marriages were less likely to suffer from life threatening diseases. The concept of ruling your wife isn’t about a husband Lording over his wife, but a husband ruling his wife with LOVE. While the blogs targets husbands, primarily African-Americans, wives and readers of other ethnicities will gain useful insight from the provided information. Oftentimes spouses (husbands and wives) do not have the tools to live and love in honor and health. The purpose of “Rule Your Wife Blog” is to offer those tools so that husbands can love selflessly and subsequently inspire their wives to love in return selflessly.
