Courtney B. Vance and Angela Bassett are the standard of black love and marriage that works!  Married for 14 years (15 in October), they’ve shown us that despite the pressures of Hollywood, despite personal issues with conception, and despite any typical problems that most couples have, it is, in fact, possible to have a successful, fulfilling marriage.

We love your Courtney and Angela, keep showing us what love looks like!
