This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of a close family friend (the groom). During the reception, the brother of the groom shared five key times in the groom’s life where he didn’t make the smartest decisions. After sharing his five examples, he ended his speech by saying that marrying his bride was one of the smartest decisions he’s ever made. Smarter living starts with making smarter decisions in all aspects of our relationships. That speech made me think back to my own wedding day and how marrying my husband was definitely one of the smartest relationship decisions I’ve made. What was yours?
In my Monday Motivational post yesterday, I talked about the importance of protecting your inner circle. Improving or sustaining great relationships starts with making smarter decisions. Like Kenny Rogers said: “You gotta know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run…” As women, relationships with others is what sustains us and keeps us moving. There’s nothing like having a loving relationship with your spouse, great relationships with your kids and always a great sister-friend to call on in time of need.
Well we will be talking all things relationships and smarter living with our friends at Black And Married with Kids during tomorrow night’s Twitter party. Join us on Wednesday October 15th as we chat it up about different ways we can improve our relationships with those closest to us – spouse, family, children and friends. We’ll be giving away some fabulous prizes and of course tweeting with our online friends, and we want you to join the party!
Check out all of the details below on how to join and be sure to help us spread the word by sharing with your friends.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you even if you have to pop in and out! 🙂 Yes, we were definitely laughing as he was sharing…embarrassing big brother with some of his not so smart decisions. But then he smoothly brought it home at the end 🙂
