And as Johnson and Loscocco note, married black
couples are at greater risk
of divorce; they have lower marital happiness and satisfaction than white spouses; they
disagree more than white spouses
about such
things as sex, kids and money; and black women get less benefits from marriage than white women and even black men do.
There's a way
things should be done, a way a family should be raised, there's the moral fiber
of a family, and these considerations are on the table
of a loving
couple who nonetheless
disagree about the answers to these thoughts and battle the whole movie for their own point
of view, and battle each in their own way.
