Hope Through the Ages, we are so grateful for the good news that many of the old walls and prejudices which have kept lovers apart have fallen by the wayside.

Fact: Some 15.5 % of all new marriages in 2011 were either interracial or interethnic, a sixfold increase over the share in 1960. Looking at all current marriages in 2011, irrespective of the year they began, 8.6 were interracial or interethnic, an all-time high. (The Next America by Paul Taylor and the Pew Research Center)

Lover of Life, give these couples the courage and the creativity to model for others like them the benefits of diversity and difference in building an enduring marriage.
