In celebration of Black Marriage Week we invited you, our extended BMWK family, to send us photos of you and your spouses so that we could feature them on our Facebook page. In addition to sharing your photos some of you shared a portion of your story — how your relationship started and even imparted some wisdom for your Facebook family. Your participation was exciting and we loved being able to showcase photos of beautiful black couples each day. You all loved it too as the couples featured were well received in the form of comments and likes. Today we wanted to share some of your favorite couples from this week as well as the captions they included with their photos. To all the couples we thank you for helping us celebrate black marriage and pray for continued blessings for your own marriage. Continue reading for 22 of your favorite couples!

Sean and Tiffany Peterson – Saginaw, Michigan
Sean and I have been married for 10 years, and we have three children. We are committed to one another, divorce is not an option, and we put God first. We have loved each other even when either of us weren’t lovable, and it is that agape love, that has helped our marriage stand the test of time. We believe that we haven’t seen our best days as a couple yet, but we strive to make each present day together matter. I love me some Sean Peterson, and I thank God for choosing him for me.
