Can a healthy marriage still feel isolating? In this Love & Legacy column, LaVianca Asante unpacks why sisterhood and experiential intimacy are essential for emotionally thriving relationships

My hope is that through Love & Legacy, we can explore marriage as more than a status, more than a piece of paper, and more than a wedding day—it’s a conscious, creative space where love, growth, and heritage meet. Together, we’ll honor the Motherland wisdom that guides us, while embracing the very human, very real moments of partnership, intimacy, and legacy-building in our modern lives.
