To Shannon: You sound tainted babe. Are you just against men or just been hurt to many times? Because obviously your single, but have you thought of the reason why? It can’t be everyone else fault. The funny thing is what men like is that simple, it’s not difficult at all, but some people, some women think they know it all and end up becoming tainted. It seems like you’re the type to walk into a relationship things with expectations and then disappointed. Or maybe you’re the type who likes thugs and looks for your future husband and then find out that (whispering) He’s not the one! No matter anyhow just smile and love life. Everyone is not suppose to find love

( Oh and maybe you can use spell check next time.)

It doesn't matter what a person has done, we all have a past. Remember that. I have heard the gossip but what can we do. Be blessed Steve and Majorie. Best of luck to you too.

Wow Shaunda, sounds like you're caught up in your emotions...did a man drag you and now you're full of hate?? Sweetie no one is perfect....Steve made some mistakes and so DO YOU!!!!!!! Baby girl get in a closet and pray, let go of your emotional baggage and get a life because on judgment day he has to answer to God not you.

Shonda, there is one thing that you are not acknowledging in your comment. Steve Harvery has never once said that he was innocent as a matter of fact the reason why he knows so much is because he was just like some of the men that woman are sick and tired of because you can know where someone is coming from unless you have been there. The main point I would like for you to understand is that you are being very very judgmental of a man that has done more good with his life than bad. So before you blast on anyone else, "Judge not for ye be judged for what measure you judge on someone else will be judged to you". Be Blessed and Be Positive.

Shanda... SOund like you are a hater... My goodness you're a very negative person and sounds like to me your Bitter... I'm sure you dont have a man in your life with that attitude.. And from your comments i guess your perfect.. and never made mistakes.. never had dreams of speaking things into existence.. Glad your not GOD

OK...Essence...really. You thought it was appropriate to epitomize Black Love with a couple who represents a cheatin' husband and the other woman. WOW!!! Maintaining contact or inquiring about someone for 17 years while married (twice) to women you supposedly love sounds like adultery and lust to me. A man who secretly desired and spoke into the universe "she will be my wife" is your model couple. You arent nor did Steve (regardless of what he says) respected the unity of his marriage. GOD lead them together...if he read the WORD he would know that GOD doesnt condone lust in your heart or thoughts---he violated his vows the moment he took them. An emtionally unavailable male in 2 marriages who held out for his "soulmate". Seriously? Steve and Essence, be honest...how appropriate is it to maintain a "friendship" with someone you are physically attracted to while being married to another.If this was a strawberry letter, Steve would have all sorts of ways to analyze this siutation, but he seems to glide over the issue. He cheated on his wife and she was the "OTHER WOMAN". A magazine read by millions of women worldwide dedicated to healthy living and relationships...extremly healthy... the other woman can prevail...17 years later...keep hope alive ladies! He wasted his first two wives' time. Was any hurt they experienced worth it...if he knew that they werent the "one" he wanted to spend his life with? Quality Essence...I had come to expect more. If Steve would have initially said he and Marjorie relationship evolved from contact that was inappropriate in the context that he was married...fine! Admit it, dont protray it in the slightly skewed light. Please do you readers a favor in the future, be cognizant of who you place on your cover and what message they project, not what message they claim to project.

Do what you'll do best (STAND WITH EACH OTHER) Steve we miss the fam. Monday-Friday in Little Rock ,will you'll be back. My husband and I miss the Pastor and Deacon THE ROCK MISS YOU ,BUT REMEMBER DO YOU!

I read the article at my local bookstore I didn't purchase the book because his face was on the cover and I can't stand his grin. He seems like he's more into her then she is. She must be making love to his mind and vice versa cause he is one UGLY man.

this showis bangsgdrfs

I love Essence magazine. Just recieved my issue today. To be honest I haven't read the Steve Harvey article yet because I can't get pass the Real Talk atricle. Lol. Demetria was so nice to entertain those youngmen. Now I can see why so many women choice to stay single their lame rap session was topical. I'm not trying to blow them down. They started out deep, then they got very simple minded with their answers; as if their attention spam shrunk.(Like the shoe comment).Lol. Ok I get it, it doesn't take much to get a man to marry you, so they said, but damn, it sounded more like Wes wants someone to write his business plan, Norman may be on the down-low, Brain likes Norman, Joel has bad credit; or maybe to many student loans, and Rich lives a double life. Once again, men who don't understand what's real, not yet anyway. Lol. No seat belt needed for that joy ride. Later, much love and respect.

I have not read an Essence magizine from cover to cover in a long time. I love Steve Harvey. This was a GREAT article. It felt so in the moment. This article sounds exactly like they both have the LOVE they deserve. We too many times interupt GOD'S plan but he always get what he wants. Destiny is what this is. they would have shorted God's destiny had they stayed together years ago. God is so SMART. I wish I had listened to him.

I miss Steve Harvey's show so bad! We can't listen to it here in Greensboro, NC anymore. I don't know what happened, one day he was on and the next day he wasn't. No more Tommy, Shirley, Carla and Steve! No more Eugene and Strawberry letters! I like Tom Joyner and applaud all the things that he does for HBCU's and the community as a whole. I will always be supportive of him but Steve Harvey is my man and I miss the show DEARLY! My mornings are not the same anymore. Steve, Please come back to Greensboro!!!!
Missing you,
Loyal fan!

Steve did a very good interview on TBN Trinity Broadcast Network. Everyone has made mistakes and the only one perfect is Jesus Christ. I am happy for Steve and Majorie.

Okay I know i'm going to get ate up for my comments but I don't give a damn! Steve is so full of crap it's not even funny. Yeah he and his wife may be happy and found each other after all these years, but I know for a fact that if given the chance Steve will cheat. Right before his book came out he was trying to see a dear friend of mine in Los Angeles who he dealt with on and off for a little while up until he married Marjorie. My girl was devastated to say the least when he literally turned his back on her and went of into the sunset with his new bride. Fate is a trip because my friend is in a position to clown him to the upmost if she wanted to, I have even begged her to, but she said the way that fool turned his back on her, she would never acknowledge she even knows him to that extent. But he's right when in his book he says that men cheat because there are women out there who are willing to cheat with him, because if my girl would have went to see him when he called, then uhhh, yeah.

FYI: I pray that whomever is writing negative comments are children because to be grown and to speak negatively about someone else tells alot about your own life. If you were happy within your own life you would not try to tear someone else down. I guess you want everyone to be just as pitiful and unhappy as you all. Maybe if you change your negative and unhappy attitude you would be able to find someone to make you happy too. YOU PEOPLE...GET A LIFE!! As my grandma you to say, if you do not have anything nice to say do not say anything at all. Talk negative about babies having babies; kids dropping out of school, people killing each other...but lay off individuals that are bring positive energy into this cruel world.
