My parents have been happily married for 38, going on 39 years. My parents are each other's best friend. Their relationship keeps hope alive in my heart that true love exists & that maybe one day I might find it too.
I asked my dad "What is the key to a successful marriage?" I will never forget what he said. He said: "You should never stop dating your wife. Keep doing the things you did when you were dating. Tell that person you appreciate them & love them. If you don't, someone else will."
I love this. This can make someone cry. There is also this black couple that broke the record for te longest marriage: 86 YEARS! Unforunately the husband died shortly before the 87th anniversary. The link doesn't work but their name is Herbet and Zelmyra fisher. You can google them.
Marriage is so beautiful, but too many people don't see it's value now and some even run away from it. I will to be one of those people married for 50+ years God willing.
Let me first say this, aint nothing like recieving wisdom from wise people full of splendor. Second, they are absolutely right when they said nowadays folks just get married with no committment. Third, I LOVE IT!!
Beautiful. It is rare to see loving black families being portrayed on TV except by Tyler Perry. This is really sad. The black community and especially the black family has been under attack for many decades and hundreds of years. WE do need to go back to loving one another. Just basic concern and care. We had such love for one another when we had nothing. Now that many have become successful we have turned away from one another. And most important and foremost....God.
This is beautiful. This kind of thing is not common in these times. Divorce is the norm. Videos and stories like this are an inspiration to me. They let me know that love like this still exists and that it is possible with work and commitment. Thank you for posting this and giving me some hope.
Real Talk...ahhh that's what I like. I appreciate the wisdom from my elders. It's a fact there will be issues but love for Jesus and the mate will carry you through. I love this couple
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Love...true love, is truly a gift from God. I wish everybody could see this video and learn from their example.
i agree that having a friendship is the key. my husband i talk about everything and it is the greatest feeling in the world to be completely loved and accepted. i think that marriages do not last because unlike in those times, the problems seem to just get worst. if a man cheats he usually will continue. i think that it is great that she was able to forgive her husband for his affair. but in the day of HIV/ AIDS along side all of the incurable diseases a cheating husband can be death sentence.
@MRMILO57 You are correct suspected white supremacist.. .. the racists (White Supremacists) are INDEED DISGUSTING AND VILE CREATURES... you finally said something correct. I am sure the Native Black people in the land you are squatting on would agree with my statement.. Now scat like a roach! :P
that was so beautiful. i got choked up for a minute, lol. this is definitely something i want for me and my boyfriend. this is inspiring, but sad to say that it's becoming so rare. the best advice for anyone seeking this is make sure you are friends first! me and my bf have been friends for 4 yrs & its such a blessing.
@zunefreakster Thank you for watching Zune.. I agree.. friendship is the vital foundation for a happy and lasting relationship & marriage. Best wishes to you.
My grand parents have been married since 1942 and they gave me advice before I got married this past January and told me that communication and unconditional love and support is the key to successful marriage and always remember that there's no such thing as a "perfect marriage". BTW my grandma is 86 and grandpa is 88.
@TheDivineLife thankfully, the couple in this video understood that it is FOR LIFE.. and they got beyond his one time infidelity. He repented and she forgave him.
THAT is love. Not too many people these days know what either love or commitment are.
A masterpiece right here.Thank you.This can and could have happened for the majority of marriages nowadays but it never happens because the majority are selfish nowadays and when the selfishness stops in the African community that when we will happen more real marriages than ever before but i digress.
My great grand parents are 86 and 87.They have been married since 1946. =) They have had extremely hard times. They both did their dirt but they always stayed together and had each others back-not like people today.
Ebonyl&M, you have made me cry. Thanks...NOw I will commence to adding this video to my facebook group "Mending Black Relationships. ...if you don't mind. :)
@NeophyteProselyte Ya right they people live in diferent area than us plus they probably had to stay together for economic reason I have never wet any one mairred and happy I have ben lied to about millions of times
Ebony I will level with you. Most Brothers aren't gonna like my comment but they are gonna know that deep down inside it's true.
Most Black Men today are afraid of marrying Black Women. I know Brothers who would rather get shot in the arm then commit to Black Women because our Zionist Media, and the White Liberal Feminist who have power and influence have wrongfully gotten modern Women in general to think that it's okay to give that milk up for free!
I agree with you.. MARRIAGE RATES ARE DOWN AMONG ALL PEOPLE in this country.. but black men & women are still falling in love and marrying. I will be posting more videos of REAL couples..less stock photo slide shows. We tend to believe that becuase white media shows more ir NOW that that is what is dominant. It isn't not at all and not by a long shot. Statistic prove otherwise. As well of all IR marriages by wm the ones to BW R the lowest in numbers.
I've notice that most ppl nowadays get married for all the wrong reason. It hardly has anything to do with love. ( Most don't know what love is.) They think it's when a man/ woman fills a void. Actually it's what the couple in the vid have.
If a man/woman cheats on you- you choose 2 forgive.that's love.
When the cheating spouse can feel his partners pain enough to never want 2 cheat again...that's love.
@dbrunsonsr not always "love" a man as a Friend but nothing else then thers relationships that have you in love (romantically). I have some male friends I love them like my brothers its a different kind of love...
There r so many labels, trends, rules, directions (i.e., marrying up or down), etc. We live in an age of pre-nups...if u don't trust from the beginning, y go any further?
I doubt that a lot of ppl really know what a marriage is really supposed to be...simple and unselfish.
The funny thing about "marrying up" today is that many bw are going to have a hard time with that one...even if they think they are going to marry up wholesale to wm.. they are in for a rude awakening.. WOMEN ON THE WHOLE are getting more education than men regardless of ethnicity or race- and men have lost a lot of jobs & earning power due to the economic depression & manipulation. BW who r only focused on marrying up r GOING to be competing w- the women of said man's own group 4 a smaller pool
As well, marrying for social status or money will in no way shape or form ensure happiness or a long lasting marriage.. HOW MANY TIMES has Donald Trump been married and divorced?
One of my girlfriends was FRIENDS WITH A BILLIONAIRE (WM) He asked her to marry him. She wasn't in love but loved him as a FRIEND..she accepted, but had 2nd thoughts later. Well, she ended up walking in on him in the bed with 2 other women- no condom. Called the engagement off. I thnk theyr still friends, but Noooo!
And it seems that many know nothing of loyalty... Unfortunately most of the videos I am seeing on YT are pretty shallow and don't deal with the real DYNAMICS that make relationships work and last. Thankfully I grew up surrounded by a whole generation of elders that were "til death do us parters" and that is exactly how they parted.. not in divorce courts.
I have uncles & aunts married for 35-40 years. Thankfully, I have examples.
My parents have been happily married for 38, going on 39 years. My parents are each other's best friend. Their relationship keeps hope alive in my heart that true love exists & that maybe one day I might find it too.
I asked my dad "What is the key to a successful marriage?" I will never forget what he said. He said: "You should never stop dating your wife. Keep doing the things you did when you were dating. Tell that person you appreciate them & love them. If you don't, someone else will."

Couples now a days are a bunch of whiney, I want it my way or else babies that need not be with anyone but themselves. With ya b*tch a** LOL
