Fifty African American couples—married 20 to 75 years—share their personal “secrets” of what makes their marriages work, through trials to triumphs. Also included are a few couples that met online and were married, bringing to light the depth the Internet plays in all our lives. The happy couples profiled include those whose marriages have weathered life’s storms implementing a common sense thread of sorely underused ethics.
The successfully married couples highlighted in Always & Forever, Love present a counter view of the generally presented and accepted state of marriage for the African American community, where fear-driven statistics and national divorce headlines have become an assault on the institution of matrimony. This book, brings hope, and brightens the faces and perspective of struggling married couples, as well as couples contemplating—yet fearful about being married. Beautiful portraits, and wise comments by these couples from across the country assure the skeptical that with a firm belief in GOD, good, sound communication, shared time, commitment, trust, forgiveness, and of course love and respect, African American marriages can not only be lasting, but happy and fulfilling.
