Why Were Black Men So Romantic in the 1970s? (That's All Women Wanted!)

In the 1960s, divorce was almost unheard of in Black neighborhoods. Couples would fight, argue, sometimes even hate each other—but they didn't separate. “Till death do us part” wasn't just a romantic phrase. It was a lifelong sentence enforced by the church, society, and economic reality. Divorce was social suicide. Women were economically trapped. Men were branded failures. Children came before everything else. Preachers preached divorce as sinful. Families kept couples together. The legal process was expensive and shameful. Many marriages were unhappy, but the entire system was designed to keep them together. This is a story of commitment and resilience—or imprisonment—in contrast to today's 50% divorce rate. The cost was high: women suffered, men suffocated, children were traumatized. But families endured.
