Well not actually the movie but the documentary. Yep, that’s right, we’re shooting a documentary and we want your input. The documentary revolves around…. you guessed it, positive marriages in the black community. We’re half way done with the filming and wanted to know if we were on point.

  • What are some of the things you’d like to see addressed?
  • If you were to sit down with a couple what would be the one question you would ask?
  • What types of couples would you like to see portrayed?
  • What are essential topics in a conversation about marriage in the black community?

Drop us some answers to these questions in the comment section and be on the lookout for the trailer which will probably be released around the end of the month.

    I would love to hear from black couples who are having problems with infertility. My husband and I are going through that right now and while we are managing well enough, I wonder how other black marriages manage situations like that.

    I think it would be a great idea to take a look at how marriages thrive when spouses are sandwiched between caring for elderly parents and dependant children. Another topic would be marriages where one spouse travels a lot for work and how the family structure makes the adjustment without resentment settling in.

    What are some of the things you’d like to see addressed? I would like to see why more black couples don't seek outside help when they marriage is in trouble. What's the negative thinking that goes into that. If you were to sit down with a couple what would be the one question you would ask? I like to ask couples what is the one thing that they feel they could advise other couples on. What are the strenghts in their marriage? What types of couples would you like to see portrayed? I would like to see a mix of couples, especially couples who have been together for like 20 years or more, I'm curious as to how they overcome the different challenges that come up in marriages. What are essential topics in a conversation about marriage in the black community? How to stay together. How to overcome trials like infidelity, finance troubles etc. Tiyas last blog post..Reconnecting

    I look forward to the Documentary and am thrilled that you are giving your loyal readers the opportunity to have input. With that being said I have several questions that I would love to have addressed. What are some of the things you’d like to see addressed? -I would like to hear someone speak on the effects of poor communication and how talking down to your spouse & kids(thru name calling)can cripple a marraige/family. -I would like to hear how women make their other half get to the point that he helps out with the housework as well as the everyday rearing of our childres ie. bathing, feeding, reading of books, nap time. If you were to sit down with a couple what would be the one question you would ask? I would like to see a young couple having been married less then 4 years express some of their past obstacles and how they got thru them within the marriage.

    I would like to see how learning and applying council from the Bible regarding marriage/family life has impacted your marriage/family life. Things such as (a) don't let the sun set with you in a provoked state (b)Husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies (c) Wives having deep respect for their Husbands and since this is "Black and Married with Kids" .... (d) children, be obedient to your parents. Strong faith and belief in God is what has sustained and uplifted our community during the most difficult of times in our history. How has this faith impacted your marriage/family life?

    I agree with African American Mom. Also, how about a couple that has a special needs child? I recently read that lots of couples with a special needs child struggle with many ending in divorce. A couple of a faith other than christianity might be interesting, and how about a couple on the lower socioeconomic end. Now that would be interesting. I'd also like to see one income earning couples. I think in this economy, a strong Black marriage weathering the economic storm on one income would be crazy interesting and inspiring for many.
