Holding It Down! 15 Secrets of Celeb Couples Who’ve Stayed Together For Years
11. Barack & Michelle Obama
Okay, these two may not be “celebrities” per se, but to many, especially in our community, they’re super stars when it comes to Black love. I don’t know about you, but when I see President Obama gazing lovingly into his wife’s eyes, my heart melts and I can’t help but think, “Wow, he LOVES THAT WOMAN!” Every chance he gets, he professes his love, admiration and respect for our First Lady – even on Twitter, where he tweeted on their 20th wedding anniversary:
“Twenty years ago today, I married the love of my life and my best friend. Happy anniversary, Michelle. -bo”
Michelle is one lucky lady, and she offers this as one of the secrets to their amazing relationship: “I think a lot of laughing. I think in our house we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think in a marriage. So we still find ways to have fun together, and a lot of it is private and personal.”
It doesn’t hurt that Pres. Obama is also very romantic. Michelle says he never forgets a birthday or an anniversary, so keeping the romance alive is definitely important to keeping the fire burning. Men: If the President of the United States has time for romance, then you have no excuse.
