The First Couple

Whatever your party of affiliation or politics, you cannot deny the power of the First Couple!


Check out the link below for a New York Times Magazine preview, The First Marriage by Jodi Kantor. The story is FASCINATING! Personally, the Obamas inspire my husband and I to be a better couple, and me to be an even better wife and mother. I have to admit it's been a few months since our last date night. The Obamas are not just great role models for Black families, but a symbol of all that is good about marriage.
