HAPPY WIFE, NAPPY LIFE | A Blog About Interracial Marriage & Relationships

I know we've all heard the old school saying that goes...  

"Happy wife, happy life"?  

But how DO you keep a HAPPY wife (and marriage) in this NAPPY life?  

HOW do you grow a happy and successful MARRIAGE in this NEW school world we live in???

THAT'S what we strive to answer!

Hey Fam-Lei!  Lady XO here!  

I just wanted to introduce my husband, myself and the HOTTEST blog about ALL things interracial marriage and relationships - also known as: 

Happy Wife, Nappy Life

I am your HAPPY WIFE, Relationship Coach and Author; Bridgett Allen - AKA - Lady XO!  

My husband; CJ; A.K.A. "Nappy Life" is Co-host of our YouTube channel and is also featured in many of my blog quotes, youtube videos, and podcast interviews!

****************************************

So - What IS HWNL?


We are a perfectly imperfect, interracial POWER couple AND former pastors who bring a christian-based approach to relationship coaching.  

Our blog ministry strives to bring positive and comedic answers for those looking for a different perspective on the TOUGH questions in marriage and relationships.  

Although we discuss all types of relational issues; we offer an additional focus on topics of interracial love and family.

Because the average american family setup looks ALOT different than the old school days of "Leave It To Beaver" or "The Brady Bunch".  

(And if you've never even heard of those sitcoms, it's okay... it's just proof in the pudding that I really AM old as dirt...  Lol).

However; though interracial families are becoming more and more of a normality, the challenges they endure ARE NOT.  

Interracial marriages and families have an entirely different set of hardships than average families.  (Which we talk about in many of our other posts ).

Regardless of what anyone tells you; BELIEVE ME when I say - it's DIFFERENT!

A Little About Us


My husband and I have been married since 2008 and have a beautifully blended family of 10 children.  

He was a single father of 5 and I had 4 kids when we met. 

Eventually, we had one baby boy (cause why not, right 🤷🏻‍♀️) who looks like the two of US - and fused our two huge families together!


As we experienced challenges in our own marriage and family, we began seeking guidance and noticed a lack of positive marriage role models in our community.  

Through much encouragement from our inner circle; we decided to share our journey in love and marriage and offer advice to help others make it over the speed bumps of it...

From learning to braid mixed hair to cultural differences in parenting and more; we have a story to tell and advice to give for it all!

So strap up!  And enjoy the inside look into our Happy Nappy Life!

And as ALWAYS, we like to end by saying our version of "TOODLES" -

In marriage, you have to get two of everything...  So TWO Good-Byes or "Toodles" is:

"Two of those"!

So..............

Until next time my Fam-Lei!

We love you!

✌️TWO-DOZE!✌️

LOVE Letters | He Is My HERO | How To Find Your Soulmate

I had the pleasure of engaging in a very spiritual conversation with an older lady friend of mine...   (For purposes of anonymity; we will call her Beth) Miss Beth was in her 60s, but didn't look a day over 50 and was quite an inspiring woman...   Like many other women of her generation;  Miss Beth had ONE lover... ONE husband...  She’d been married for 30 some-odd years... She  was quite the christian, god-fearing woman...  The kind that would give to a beggar on the street... She took in many children from abusive and neglectful families... (Truly Miss Beth, I will see you in Heaven one day sister...   For God DEFINITELY has a place for you in his kingdom...) More than anything... I remember most how she was still VERY much in love with her husband...   I’d thought it the most romantic and beautiful thing I have ever seen; as I reflect on her saying to me... "He is my Hero" Smiling.... ————————————————————— Now, as beautiful as this story is to hear... Even more bea

Is It Over? How to heal past PAINFUL MOMENTS in marriage.

Press play to listen to the audio-blog Hello fam-lei! I come to you today a bit more sullen than usual... If anyone is out there reading these blogs, please pray for me... Sometimes marriage isn't just hard, it's downright TOXIC-feeling. There are these "make or break" moments that you will come to that will test every shred of patience, loyalty and FAITH in God that you possess... Times where you begin to wonder if the other person is the same person you said I DO to at all... Times where you have to LITERALLY weigh the good and the bad and make a hard decision... Do I stay or do I go? I thought that I knew what my breaking point was... The point in which I would say AUTOMATICALLY "I would leave if they did this ________ no questions asked." But I suppose when "unconditional love" is a factor in your boundaries; your boundary lines change and the saying "Love knows no bounds" starts sounding like less of a fairyta

Girl, This Thing is WORK!

Press play to listen to the audio-blog Day to day, we will clock in and clock out begrudgingly to a job that pays us less than we deserve... We do it faithfully... It's called going to WORK. Hey fam-lei!!!  Lady XO here!  👋 I know we've all heard the unromantic saying that "marriage is work" but have you ever REALLY it thought about it like a duty? It's our DUTY to strive to be good spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, etc. But do you WORK on your relationships? Think about it... We will smile in the faces of our @$$hole co-workers and listen to every word our bosses tell us; and for most of us...  We do it WITHOUT hesitation or argumentation. Because we VALUE our job and want to keep it! But...  Then we go home and think all of our WORK is done... As if the title you hold at your job is the ONLY hat you wear... But no... We have families and relationships outside of our jobs that take a considerable amount more WORK than our 9-5's and
