7 Ways the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage Helps Save Black Marriages

altIt’s a well-known fact that the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage, which sails from Miami May 16 for a deliriously fun seven-day cruise through the Caribbean Sea, raises millions of dollars for Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCUs].

It’s also a fact that the TJFV features throngs of celebrities, musical acts, entertainers and dignitaries who rip the stages with timeless performances — and also facilitate educational panels, book signings and provocative forums that feed the mind, body and soul. But one of the things the cruise offers is an opportunity for married couples to devote themselves to one another in ways that may not have been possible under duo-occupational households, especially in today’s economy.


1. Renew vows: The uninterrupted, seven-day excursion through the Atlantic offers the perfect opportunity for spouses to recommit to one another and rediscover the very reasons they fell in love in the first place.

2. Focus on the wife: with no cell phones, no job and no games on TV, the husband has no external interruptions to providing his spouse with the kind of attention she craves, needs and deserves.


3. On the Fantastic Voyage, the husband doesn’t have to worry about taking his wife out for the evening. All they have to do is step outside their cabin and they can get into the mix with a multiplicity of activities that include shopping, dining, island visitations, special events and parties all within a short walking distance.

4. Parties: They don’t call the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage a “Party with a Purpose” for no reason. Almost from the time you wake up, until the time you go to sleep — and beyond — there are a flurry of different parties to attend and get immersed in.

5. The TJFV provides a precious opportunity for couples to meet, interact with and strike up lasting friendships with other couples from around the nation. With the Internet, Facebook and Twitter, it is now much easier to stay in touch with new friends than ever before.

6. It is definitely beneficial for newlyweds and young married couples to learn from those who have been married 10, 20, 30 years or more to find out how they made the marriage work and thrive after many years together.

7. Network: in today’s turbulent marketplace, it is always good to network with other business-minded folks from across North America. By increasing your network, you increase your net worth.
