Positive Images in the Community

Posted by Renee

"5 Reasons Why and 3 Reasons Why Not to Get Married" from BlackandMarriedwithKids.com

#4 OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU

There are children now who don’t know what healthy marriages look like because they don’t know anyone who’s happily married. When these children don’t see successful marriages in front of them they are forced to lean on the negative depictions offered by the media. These images that are laced with age-old stereotypes wouldn’t lead anyone to choose marriage so they instead leave our children with thoughts of no hope when it comes to having great relationships because they think this is just, “how it is.”

I'm not black, or a minority, I'm white. See my post on Suburban Progressives though, to understand why I relate.
