The President and First Lady

The Obamas have raised the bar for Black love. Long before this couple resided at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they were breaking down barriers individually and collectively. From Mrs. Obama’s awe-inspiring story of taking a chance on a funny-named intern to the way the Commander-in-Chief looks at his better half, this couple reminds us that beside every great man, there definitely is a great woman.

Meet the 22 other couples that made our list of Black power couples to watch.

I'm amazed at all the comments regarding "race" rather than the couples themselves. It's funny how we spend so much time on race rather than looking at the bigger picture. The title states "Power Couples on the Move" not Black Power Couples on the Move. How about we congratulate them on their efforts of making their union work regardless of race. Can we stay on track and comment about the Power Couples and not their race, or how stupid you think one is for staying committed to her union even though it was once broken by her husband. And for those that want to complain about Essence selling out, you can solve your own problem by not logging on to their site or purchasing their magaizine. They're not begging you to read what they've printed, it's you who made the choice to read. These are just my thoughts....onelove!
