What do African Americans feel about marriage?

[Abigail]

Can we begin to understand each other and live in greater harmony? can we begin to teach our children better ways of communicating and understanding each other?

Read the discussion and add your thoughts. See link below:

Well, well, well, Abigail. I read the article. But I still have to respond with "Huh?"

I have not the slightest idea what African-Americans think about marriage. Why, of course not! We are a very, varied group of folks. I can almost guarantee that the individual answers would be very, varied as well.
With that said, what was the question?

God Bless

My husband and I were married in December 1991. On May 28, 1993 he was diagnosed with colon cancer - I was 9 months pregnant with our first and only child. He passed away 2 months after our son's 3rd birthday. Shortly after his passing, his very close friend told me that he'd been ill for a while and hoped he could "love it away". I've been widowed since August, 1996 and have no desire to "live in the institution of marriage" ever again.
