About The Longs
The Longs: Life After Kids is a couples-focused platform created by Dr. Vertina N. Long and Demetrius Long, partners in life for nearly 30 years. After building a blended family, raising children, and navigating real-life conflict, growth, and healing, they now share the lessons that helped their marriage endure.
Through books, tools, and practical relationship resources, The Longs help couples move beyond surface arguments and build deeper connection, emotional safety, and lasting love.
This space is for couples who are ready to grow, communicate better, and choose “us” on purpose.
