I can’t be sure but…maybe part of the problem is that society has been deeply conditioned away from self care, self love, self respect and instead, are honestly working their lives away. I think, if we had inner health, we might wait longer to find a partner but, we’d wait until we found the right partner instead of trying to fill voids the need healing, with things like the conventional rules to western society. We’re not going to go extinct by taking care of the self, first. We might just sustain a more thriving species, though.

Forget race, and forget what year it was.... to be together for 45-46 years and still going is an outstanding life achievement. They need to teach a class on marriage and how to survive life's struggles. Bravo Jeri and Mike!!!!
@@TheJpep2424 Always one of you people who like to start things in here. Let me elaborate why I said that...

They are outstanding people who have passed the trials and tribulations of darker times in history and remained in loved for longer than you probably have been alive.

They make me think of my parents who are also an interracial couple, they eloped together to San Francisco from a state and family that were not very supportive. Both of their families eventually came around and my parents just recently celebrated 44 years together ❤
As a Bi-racial child who was born in '81, I have an idea of the adversities you faced as a married couple. Not quite as early as the Loving family but still trailblazers of "Love has no color"! Thank you for paving the road I walk!
Oh this make me sick. We should not promote mixed race couples as it leads to biological white erasure! Whites are being white erased from our own countries, we are a global minority! We talk about this all the time at No White Guilt.
The 80’s doesn’t seem that long ago to me but I remember being ostracized for being in a relationship with a black man. I didn’t listen to them and I got pregnant with my first child. My son who I love very much. Our relationship didn’t work out but I did what I thought was right at the time. God bless all .
@@veronicamamiful We speak up against this all the time at no white guilt, because this leads to biological white erasure! Whi te people are a global minority!
@@veronicamamifulthings happen no matter what race. You did what was right at the time and I hope you and your son and his father are living a great life even if not together.
I love this couple. They were adorable then and are still adorable. Even if they didn't win the Game, they won the game of life. Congrats and many more happy years together ❤️
That's crazy! Did this video just come up as a suggestion on your UA-cam? I used to watch this show a lot but I don't remember this particular episode.

Y'all are so cute! You may have come in second place on The Dating Gane, but you won the biggest prize of all! 46 years of marriage and memories is amazing! Oops! I meant The Newlywed Game!
I think the fact that they disregarded the social "norms" of the time was quite telling that they were truly in love and that kind of love is a forever love. Great example to all young couples what a strong, loving marriage is.
So true as a child of an interracial marriage my dad a black man born Mississippi my mom German met WW11 where my brother and I were born.We came USA 1953 we couldn't go to Mississippi and my grandparents moved north while we were enroute to America because my grandparents feared for our safety if we came to Mississippi there and they had reasons to fear at that time kkk and laws on the books making it a felony to marry out of ones race it was called missegregation laws and they were prevalent in the south. Unfortunately my parents divorced do hate, ignorance and jealousy my mom raised us my dad did the visitation thing, shared holidays and summers but that depended on where he was stationed he did a 24 year stint.(Army) So this young couple I'm sure went through a lot in 40 years plus. I'm glad they're still together. The supreme court case that struck down these laws was Loving V Virginia 1967. 🌻
I get what ur trying to say but it was "acceptable" enough to be on national tv. The Jeffersons (sitcom) had an interracial couple as friends. But yes, its great to see them still together after 46 years. Its VERY RARE these days. My parents are 52 years strong❤️
@@angelcharms7297just because it was on tv doesn’t mean it was acceptable everywhere. People attempt to minimize the impact of racism with this type of micro aggressive thinking.

@@tysonb3568 Any couple that got married in the 70s and 80s and are still together should be CELEBRATED! Marriage means forever, not "until I change my mind".... people are so selfish and don't know how to keep a promise and don't know how important a marriage is to the children they bring into this world. I hope you don't spread your nonchalant uncommitted attitude to the next generation.
@@carlathomas5807I think you may be confusing 'nonchalance' with 'acceptance' of situations AFTER all the hard work, marriage counselling if available, disillusionment as dreams have been shattered, guilt, shame and grief for oneself, and one's children, and the heartache and hardship of difficult decisions, etc. Unhappy parents do not raise emotionally secure children. Most children are not fooled by parents pretending to live as a couple 'for the sake of the kids'. There are many instances where the child/ children are better off with the parents separating, due to the marriage being an irreparably unhealthy relationship. Everyone suffers when a dysfunctional marriage is the foundation of the family. In addition, the role modelling is harmful to children in shaping unhealthy attitudes towards relationships that determine their future relationships. Many children get to spend more quality time with their fathers when separated, and care is divided between the parents, than when living with them constantly as a dysfunctional family. My siblings, and I wish our mother ended the relationship with our father sooner, to save us all years of trauma. My child thanked me for leaving their father. They could see for themselves how damaging it would have been to stay together. I wrote my own wedding vows and didn't break them. In my own mind I promised I would support my ex-husband when his parents died, and support him dying, should he die before me, which was more likely. I did all of that to the best of my ability. My child's father died of ALS last Christmas. My point is that every situation is different, and most parents will do what is in the best interests for their child, as parenting instincts are typically innate, and strong. Unless they overide their natural instincts due to being indoctrinated to stay in harmful marriages, and have social pressure with their community associating the end of a marriage with shame, guilt and failure, as my poor mother was led to believe. Ultimately, we don't know what goes on in the privacy of people's homes behind closed doors, unless they choose to share it with us. So it is not for us to judge others' marriage, or decide what is best for them and their children. There is no one best way for all spouses, or all children. It depends on so many factors.
The other couple might have won first prize but you two have the biggest prize of all ... "A beautiful lifetime together ❤️" !!! I use to watch the show with my grandmother ❤. Thank you for sharing 😊❤
Glad the marriage is still going strong 46 years later--even if Mike's great hair didn't make it that far. From someone also in a mixed marriage that still has a good way to go to get to 46 years, you inspire me to think we can make it. Even in this day and age, being a mixed couple is not always as easy as it should be, but it's worth it. I can see these two feel the same.
Me too. I was a child then. I always loved moral shows. Family shows, I know it was the Lord. All goodness comes from the LORD. Thank you Jesus. Brady bunch, Good times, the Jeffersons, that one show with John boy, Beaver,
She was and still is very beautiful and he very handsome. Congratulations to you both. This made me smile. Seeing both of you together 46 years later and still loving each other. I am sure your life was not perfect but you both worked it out. Love you both.
They are so precious together! What an inspiration and breath of fresh air, considering how many marriages don't make it. I hope they have many more years together.❤❤❤
You might have not won the first prize on the game but you hit the jackpot with your marriage 👍🏼 46 years together is awesome. Congratulations to both of you 🙌🏼
To have this kind of everlasting love is admirable. I can only dream. This was fun to watch what an adorable loving couple. God please bless them with many more years together.
God forbade interracial marriage (Ezra & Nehemiah) and was a felony in most States until USSC oberturned Loving v. Virginia... Edomite (Jew) quote - “We must realize that our party’s most powerful weapon is racial tension by propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by the whites. We can mold them to the program of the communist party. In America we will aim for subtle victory while inflaming the negro minority against the whites. We will instill into the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the negro. We will aid the negro’s rise to prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and will begin a process which will deliver America into our cause.” Israel Cohen - head of the communist party in England “A Racial Program For The Twentieth Century” (1912) Congressional Record, Vol. 103, p. 8559, June 7, 1957.
My parents were married 42 years and my mom is still married to my dad 11 years after he died.. and I remember watching the newlywed game as a child...how embarrassing it was, lol....but WOW....this is the cutest thing I've seen in a long long time. Thank you!!
🗣️ Congratulations on 46 Years Married, such a blessing!💜 Thanks for sharing your Newlywed Game participation. It was fun watching. I remember watching Newlywed Game on television with my family as children we would guess who would win. Lolol
I do not consider myself a romantic guy but when this couple really touched me, they are as jovial as ever, i really wish them to be happily ever after.
This was so sweet! And, to let you know, my whole family saw this episode back in the day. My mother, sisters and I loved the Newlyweds show. We watched everyday and we're so surprised and happy to see black and white married couple being aired. And, to come full circle seeing you both blow up on social media by share your younger years together and now your later year. Just absolutely fabulous!! May the Lord continue to bless you both and your marriage! I was so happy for you then and now!!! 🤗🥰🙏💕
I take so much pride in the fact that my wife and I have been together 23 years… but then I see couples like this and I’m sincerely humbled. Much respect to these folks.
I have never seen anything like this before! In this day and age people take the vows of marriage for granted and you guys have stood the test of time. God bless you both! Congratulations to your 46 years together and boy you can tell you two are still so in love!
That is awesome you have been together so long. My parents have been together since 10 th grade of high school and they are in their 70s now❤ ,hope to see more newlywed shows. Thank you ❤😊
Proof that laughing with (and at) each other is the key ingredient :) Loved the "we don't even sleep comfortable. We can't woopy comfortable" followed by them still laughing today.
I just subbed. I'm in an interracial/big age gap marriage that people said would NEVER last. Twenty plus years later, we've proved them wrong! We have a 21 year old son and our identical twin daughters will be 19 this month. 🙌💛 I love seeing both of you. God is so good! I just turned 47. Wow, 46 years together and so happily married... Haha... She was READY. 😂 Y'ALL ARE STILL SO CUTE TOGETHER. 💛💛
It’s a real breath of fresh air to see a couple who have stayed together all these years, and are still obviously in love. My husband and I are closing in on 40 years of marriage in June.
Oh my goodness I'm smiling from ear to ear ! How adorable are they ! Then and now ! They still look so happy too. What a blessing. And her "Ready!" with the exclamation point 😂 How incredibly sweet 🥰🥰
I don't know how this video showed up in my recommendations, but I'm glad it did! It just made me happy, and I was smiling through the whole thing. Fantastic! Oh, and I'll bet the winning couple got rid of that bedroom set long ago, but here both of you are with the real prize.
This was a blast from the past. Sorry they didn’t win the game, but they have won in life. Congratulations on 46 years of wedded bliss.
They took home many Prizes that day so I'm happy for them.
The 46yrs still together is the real win.😊😊
This was wonderful ❤! Thank you for sharing 😊🤗
I love this for them! God blessed them .
They are STILL working through all that rice-a-roni. Luckily fire them there are enough preservatives that the rice is still good 40+ years later! 😂

Your marriage, not only lasting all these years, but thriving is proof that you are a winning team outside of the game show. Blessings❤❤❤
I watched the newlywed game every week. Loved the show. Glad this couple is still happily together. Soulmates from the beginning
Seeing them married for this long inspires me to never give up on love ❤
The other couple might have won first prize but you two have the biggest prize of all ... "A beautiful lifetime together ❤️" !!! I use to watch the show with my grandmother ❤. Thank you for sharing 😊❤
P
💯 😊 & i also used to watch that 📺 show,when I was a teenager.
Wonder if that other couple are together?
@@Caareenkm6726 I wondered the same.
What a rare marriage. 46 years!!!! Amazing.
Rare??
Y'all may not have won in that game, but you both won in LIFE. Absolutely love y'all! 🥰
Glad the marriage is still going strong 46 years later--even if Mike's great hair didn't make it that far. From someone also in a mixed marriage that still has a good way to go to get to 46 years, you inspire me to think we can make it. Even in this day and age, being a mixed couple is not always as easy as it should be, but it's worth it. I can see these two feel the same.
Yes. You hold tight to one another, and do what you did to get each other! Remember? 😉🤗
So awesome! I watched the Newlywed Game as a kid. Nostalgia...
💯 AWESOME & I WATCHED THIS 📺 AS A TEEN. JERI & MIKE STILL HAVE THEIR SAME BEAUTIFUL 😁😁
Me too. I was a child then. I always loved moral shows. Family shows, I know it was the Lord. All goodness comes from the LORD. Thank you Jesus. Brady bunch, Good times, the Jeffersons, that one show with John boy, Beaver,
@@JoyceWoodruff-cb6lh MY EXACT SENTIMENTS 😊 & AMEN ✝️ 🙏
I just love the way Mike looks at you, Jeri! It’s so adorable❤
She was and still is very beautiful and he very handsome. Congratulations to you both. This made me smile. Seeing both of you together 46 years later and still loving each other. I am sure your life was not perfect but you both worked it out. Love you both.
They were born for one another,... then found each other. A union planned in Heaven and are gifts from God, they are to each other.
This was just so wholesome. What a sweet couple you two are.
They are so precious together! What an inspiration and breath of fresh air, considering how many marriages don't make it. I hope they have many more years together.❤❤❤
You might have not won the first prize on the game but you hit the jackpot with your marriage 👍🏼 46 years together is awesome. Congratulations to both of you 🙌🏼
They’re as adorable today as they were back then! Congratulations on many happy decades together..❤
It was good that you guys had the chance to go on the show as you can reflect and see how young happy and fresh you both were.
That was fun to watch!🎉😊
46 years of loveliness
I didn’t get a nervous vibe from Mike at all!
To have this kind of everlasting love is admirable. I can only dream. This was fun to watch what an adorable loving couple. God please bless them with many more years together.
Yes they are so a blessing,💙❤
God forbade interracial marriage (Ezra & Nehemiah) and was a felony in most States until USSC oberturned Loving v. Virginia...
Edomite (Jew) quote - “We must realize that our party’s most powerful weapon is racial tension by propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by the whites. We can mold them to the program of the communist party. In America we will aim for subtle victory while inflaming the negro minority against the whites. We will instill into the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the negro. We will aid the negro’s rise to prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and will begin a process which will deliver America into our cause.” Israel Cohen - head of the communist party in England “A Racial Program For The Twentieth Century” (1912) Congressional Record, Vol. 103, p. 8559, June 7, 1957.
Amen 🙏🏾 ❤
Congratulations on 46 years of togetherness! Beautiful couple!
That's one of the best things I have watched on UA-cam. Thank you very much for sharing.
My parents were married 42 years and my mom is still married to my dad 11 years after he died.. and I remember watching the newlywed game as a child...how embarrassing it was, lol....but WOW....this is the cutest thing I've seen in a long long time. Thank you!!
Too cute!!! Adorable then and now!!❤
💯 & adorable 👫
What an adorable couple... both back then and now. Wishing them many more years of happiness.
Agree 😊❤
🗣️ Congratulations on 46 Years Married, such a blessing!💜 Thanks for sharing your Newlywed Game participation. It was fun watching.
I remember watching Newlywed Game on television with my family as children we would guess who would win. Lolol
I do not consider myself a romantic guy but when this couple really touched me, they are as jovial as ever, i really wish them to be happily ever after.
Bob Eubanks was smooth, he knew how to ask the most embarrassing questions in a most calm manner and he talked to everyone the same.
And back then NOBODY got offended! Or if they did, they didn't whine about it. This was so wholesome to watch.
I'm smiling so big my face hurts! They are such a inspiration! I love them!😊
I was smiling too
They have the head tilt towards one another...❤
This was so sweet! And, to let you know, my whole family saw this episode back in the day. My mother, sisters and I loved the Newlyweds show. We watched everyday and we're so surprised and happy to see black and white married couple being aired. And, to come full circle seeing you both blow up on social media by share your younger years together and now your later year. Just absolutely fabulous!! May the Lord continue to bless you both and your marriage! I was so happy for you then and now!!! 🤗🥰🙏💕
I take so much pride in the fact that my wife and I have been together 23 years… but then I see couples like this and I’m sincerely humbled.
Much respect to these folks.
I have never seen anything like this before! In this day and age people take the vows of marriage for granted and you guys have stood the test of time. God bless you both! Congratulations to your 46 years together and boy you can tell you two are still so in love!
YES
It’s unfortunate that you’ve never seen this type of union before. Hopefully, more examples with present themselves in the future. Peace…
Well said Yvonne !
How wonderful to see that you too were on The Newlywed Game!
Jeri, Mike was a FINE young man. 🙃👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
I agree ☺️. And she was and still is gorgeous!
Many people today, 2024, can learn something through this couples experience. Congratulations🤷🏼💐🌹
It’s rare I see a couple this close after the honeymoon period. Good for them for keeping the spark alive.
What?😂😂😂😂😂
This was wonderful to watch. I always wonder if these couples were still together. You two still look at each other the same way and that’s BEAUTIFUL
Jeri & Mike I’m so glad that I found this video by accident. You 2 are adorable 🥰 it’s wonderful to see such beautiful love last!!
That is awesome you have been together so long. My parents have been together since 10 th grade of high school and they are in their 70s now❤ ,hope to see more newlywed shows. Thank you ❤😊
I smiled all the way through this! You two are pure gold! All I see is LOVE ❤️
Those two’s personalities match so well, they were meant for each other. God bless their marriage
"Two's"? Where did you go to school?
Proof that laughing with (and at) each other is the key ingredient :)
Loved the "we don't even sleep comfortable. We can't woopy comfortable" followed by them still laughing today.
Absolutely.
I thought she said "we can whoopy comfortable" tho. That took me out😂
I loved those shows back then. So sweet to see you both still together! ❤
She is the cutest!!! What a lovely couple, congratulations on all of those years of marriage!
This is wonderful. Forty six years later you guys are doing exceptionally well.
I just subbed. I'm in an interracial/big age gap marriage that people said would NEVER last. Twenty plus years later, we've proved them wrong! We have a 21 year old son and our identical twin daughters will be 19 this month. 🙌💛
I love seeing both of you. God is so good! I just turned 47. Wow, 46 years together and so happily married...
Haha... She was READY. 😂 Y'ALL ARE STILL SO CUTE TOGETHER. 💛💛
pedophilia is not something to be proud about
I thought she was gonna say: "I wonder if that couple is still married like we are." So cute. 😊
This is back when couples valued relationships and marriage. So happy for this coupl, they have such a rare gift of true love and happiness. 💛
True. I feel today everyone is so self-centered. They want someone to fit right into their lives with no flexibility. It's my way or the high way.
Truth ❤
I was born in the wrong decade.
This is a lasting legacy for the grandchildren. They can see you in years to cone as young people❤😊
It’s a real breath of fresh air to see a couple who have stayed together all these years, and are still obviously in love.
My husband and I are closing in on 40 years of marriage in June.
This is the most heartwarming video I’ve seen this year so far, may you be blessed with many many more years together ❤
This is so beautiful. Their love is color blind. Years later they still look at each other like their relationship is still new.
Oh my goodness I'm smiling from ear to ear ! How adorable are they ! Then and now ! They still look so happy too. What a blessing.
And her "Ready!" with the exclamation point 😂 How incredibly sweet 🥰🥰
I have to admit this is so beautiful to watch( and captured on a popular game show at that!)…and even after 46 years they still look good together 💕🫶
I don't know how this video showed up in my recommendations, but I'm glad it did! It just made me happy, and I was smiling through the whole thing. Fantastic! Oh, and I'll bet the winning couple got rid of that bedroom set long ago, but here both of you are with the real prize.
