What Black Women Look for in a Partner Listen to Black Women SE2 Part 4
✕

On the latest episode of Listen to Black Women, Lore’l and Jessie Woo continue exploring the topic of love and marriage. In the fourth and final segment of this series, they sit down with LeToya Luckett and Tish Taylor-Searcy to talk about playing matchmaker, marriage advice, and saying “I love you” first.

Are women setting the bar too high?

Jessie wonders if LeToya and Tish have ever tried setting up their single girlfriends. So far, they haven’t had luck there. Which raises the question: are women too picky? Not exactly. “You can be picky,” Tish says. “But at least entertain it, give it a try.” 

They talk about appearances, questioning whether physical traits like height and weight should count as dealbreakers.

“Is he treating you right? Can y’all talk? Are you friends?” LeToya says.

“Is he kind?” Jessie adds. “It’s so hard to find a kind man. It’s ridiculous!”

How much should you open up about your marriage?

The married women at the table, LeToya and Tish, aren’t opposed to hearing relationship advice from friends, single or not.

“I’m grateful that I have single friends that still push me towards my husband,” LeToya says. “I’m grateful that I have a beautiful community of women and men who are like, ‘No, you fight for your marriage.’” 

Jessie inquires, “How do you protect the peace within your marriage?”

For Tish, it’s about keeping her marriage close to home. “I keep a lot of what goes on with me and my husband pretty private,” says the serial entrepreneur. “We don’t have too many issues, but you know how your friends be more mad than you?”

“It is okay to protect your marriage by having a dialogue, stay between y’all for a minute, then seeking counsel,” LeToya adds. The singer and actress is able to confide in her family because it’s not about taking sides. “My mother-in-love, she’s going to fight for right. So I trust that I can have a conversation with her, and his sister as well.”

It’s all about who you trust and how much you’re willing to share about married life. “You have to use your discernment before you start having these conversations,” LeToya says.

“I’m so glad you said that,” adds Tish. “There were times before we were married, I may have said ABC. But during our marriage, we’re going to talk this out.”
