[b]Film executive DeVon Franklin and actress Meagan Good made headlines when they jumped the broom in July — not only because of their beautiful, Hollywood-style wedding, but also because the couple famously touted their commitment to celibacy before marriage. So how did Franklin, who'd gone 10 years without sex, and his bride-to-be make it work during their courtship? "We held each other accountable because we honored the commitment," he tells ESSENCE.com. "And we both were already committed to it." The newlywed, who calls married life with Good blissful, credits his drive to obtain his higher purpose in life for keeping him focused. "I believe we all are called to a higher purpose," says Franklin. "That is the greatest motivator. What if I never get to my purpose because my lifestyle never leads me there? The poor choices in my life are the barrier to me getting to my purpose." Franklin believes that marriage's higher purpose is love and healing. "The idea of disrupting that or potentially corrupting the union by doing anything less than honoring our commitment kept us both motivated and committed to keeping each other accountable," he says. As for kids in the near future, Franklin says he and Good are in no rush to have a little one. "We just got married," Franklin says, laughing. "We have to learn each other as husband and wife first." THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! A MAN WILLING TO WAIT 1O YEARS BEFORE HE SLEEPS WITH THE WOMAN HE LOVES... THANK GOD FOR MEN LIKE DEVON!!!  [/b]

They were dating for the ten years, they got married after ten years. They were both commited to the relationship, so what's your point. Besides this is one out of I billion cases. I can date you for ten years but dont expect me to propose to you and wait for a month without you telling me you are in. 2 Likes |

One trait about Hollywood marriages- they mostly end in divorce. |

@K2039 They weren't dating for ten years. They started dating in 2011 upon meeting on the set of Jumping The Broom, a movie in which Devon was a co-producer. He, however, was on a 10-year celibacy before meeting Meagan, and according to the couple, the celibacy continued throughout the courtship. |

we don't need more men like devon cos there is no where 'twas wriiten that devon is the perfect role model or that he is the best mr perfect.. Cos someone is deflowered doesn't mean he or she is bad.that belief is disgusting and archaic.he has been celibate for 10 years doesn't mean he has never boned any chick before... What we need is a man/woman that won't cheat on his/her woman/man.a man/woman that will love and cherish his/her partner.that appreciate his/her partner and is ready accept his/her flaws and not a devon. Even tiger woods that was an angel before everyone's eys turned out a serial flirt...HAPPY MARRIED megan and devon.you guys look cute together 1 Like |

Wait... They got to be kidding. They dated for ten years without sex? Hehehe, that ain't it! there is something wrong some where? I mean it. Damn... Can' t even date a month without sex, talk more of dating one girl for as long as ten year. |

@chophismoni, i hope to God we don't get any more "black men" like devon, therein lies your problem, this is a pastor a leader of a church yet is chasing a woman Like megan up and down hollywood. Makes you wonder what kind of man he is in the firs place, i mean not to be judgemental but what the heck was he thinking? People wake up, hollywood is a lie its main aim is to enice the weakligs! Wake up!! |
| Re: We Need More Black Men Like This... by Nobody: 1:43pm On Dec 22, 2012 |
you guys shouldn't be confused. They just started dating last year but Devon had been celibate for 9 years prior to them meeting. definitely, Meagan was shaggging every guy out there before they met |
| Re: We Need More Black Men Like This... by k2039: 2:07pm On Dec 22, 2012 |
Goldieluks:I guess you probably don?t know my age, if you add ten years to my age, I will have grown grey hair by then. Besides I don't have a problem with dating for as long as you want, my point has always been how long it takes a girl to say yes to a man. Think about it, why should I waste my time waiting for a girl when I'm not sure she will say yes, it just sounds stupi.d to me. |

omo_to_dun: @K2039Thanks jare. ChopUrMoni I don't see the relevant of this thread then, since it didn't address the issue at hand. |

joeydozzy: you guys shouldn't be confused. They just started dating last year but Devon had been celibate for 9 years prior to them meeting. definitely, Meagan was shaggging every guy out there before they met She certainly did confuse me, she was trying to justify the thread she opened yesterday and from what you guys wrote she certainly has no point. |

How many black women will not call a man she has been dating for just 3 month, without him asking for sex impotent? 1 Like |
