Black Marriages Does Last A Lifetime

 Black Marriages Does Last A Lifetime

Whoever said black marriages doesn't last a lifetime told a lie! As a matter of fact, according to BlackDemographic.com in 2014 --86% of Black Men married a Black woman, and 94% of Black women married a Black man. That sounds like a success to me--brown brothers and sisters entwined with one another. Another prime example that Black marriages can last a lifetimes comes from the Fisher's.

Zelmyra and Herbert Fisher broke The Guinness World Record for the longest marriage. They were married on May 13, 1924. In 2008, they earned the record for longest marriage at 84 years. In 2011, Herbert passed away at 105, and a few years later in 2013, Zelmyra followed at 105 years old as well. When Herbert passed, the couple had been married for 87 years. When asked what made them realize that they could spend the rest of their lives together, the answer was completely simple:With each day that passed, our relationship was more solid and secure. Divorce was NEVER an option, or even a thought.
