Close to 42% of African American adults have never been married, and by their early 40s, 31 percent of black women have never been wives, compared with 9 percent of white women, 11 percent of Asian women and 12 percent of Hispanic women. Statistics may show those numbers, however, there is a community of African Americans all across the country encouraging others in committed relationship to celebrate the joy of marriage.
Money is one of the top reasons for divorce. Whether it is a lack of money, money mismanagement or a communication breakdown about the finances, it is time to establish marriages for financial success. In honor of Black Marriage Day, Dr. Taffy Wagner, releases The Ten Commandments for Black Marriage and Money Success video.
The Ten Commandments for Black Marriage and Money Success is a compilation of couples, husband, wives sharing over 70 years of marriage experience regarding marriage and money. Stop and watch the video.

“As a premarital educator with a particular passion for the “undiscussed topics”, Taffy is a great asset to the education and wedding world. Using her personal experiences and undying enthusiasm, she manages to talk about money issues that few others do. She avoids the really boring line item details about how to budget, which is something you can pick up in a book, and instead focuses on emotions, relationships, and a lot of the “gotcha” moments many of us experience as individuals and in our married lives when it comes to shopping, lending money to family or friends, etc.” Elizabeth Doherty Thomas, President, The First Dance, LLC, www.thefirstdance.com
