The Black Marriage Movement

The Black Marriage Movement Supporting, Strengthening, Promoting and Celebrating Healthy African American/Black Marriages (at least one spouse identifies as African American or Black).

LIKE THIS PAGE IF YOU THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FOCUS FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Research has shown that nearly 52% of African American Marriages (between 1 man and 1 woman) end in divorce (See more stats below). The Black Marriage Movement mission is to decrease this high divorce rates in the black community by supporting, strengthening and promoting healthy African American Marriages through education, recreation and celebration. This page was created to have an online community of real talk, support and encouragement; where information, updates and tips can be provided for married/engaged couples to feel inspired, challenged and encouraged to stand strong for their marriage while playing an active role in supporting other black marriages that might be struggling in hope we can, together, decrease that statistic. Please show your support by LIKING this page and then sharing it with others who might want to support this cause- especially African American/Black married couples and those who desire to be married one day. For more information feel free to post or inbox us. Thank you for your support. The Black Marriage Movement Team

More Stats:

Studies show that while 35% of Americans between age 24 and 34 have never been married, that percentage increases to 54% for African Americans in the same age group. Additionally, married couples head 76% of our American families, while African American married couples head only 47.9% of American families. While the overall rate for single parent households in America has increased for all children, it is especially alarming among African Americans. Between 1960 and 1995, the number of African American children living with two married parents dropped from 75% to 33%. At this moment, 69% of African American births are to single mothers as compared to 33% nationally. This is a very sad statistic that we hope you will join us and other in our efforts to change this negative trend. There are unique challenges that face the black marriage but together we can stand against the odds and change that trend- at least in our community, our city, or state (taken from AAHMI website)
