I met my husband on a blind date, it was truly Love at first sight, after 7 months we were married. We celebrated 51 years of being in love, our secret is never try to be his mother and he should never try to be your father. Remember never ever go to bed mad, mostly if you have an argument once it’s over it’s over. As often as possible try to think back to what attacked you to each other and why you fell in love with her/him. For me I can’t imagine my life without the love of my life, my true soulmate, so to all you lovely people who are in love first and formost our #1 secret is to fall in love over and over again. I love my husband as much or more now than when we met.

They are a historical couple, because they were one of the first interracial couples to be on a U.S. television game show in the 1970s, and that was on 'The Dating Game,'- and that was only ten years after the Supreme Court's decision in the famous Loving Case, which maded interracial marriage, no longer crime in the U.S. So, it's good that this couple's video went viral, because they are a historical couple,- being one of the first interracial couples,on a U.S. television game show in the 1970s, and they look, and are great!!! Congratulations to them!!!❤💐💐💐💐💐💫

"Yes, dear." What a wise man! I had a co-worker who once told me after his second marriage: "It took me 53 years to figure out that all I needed to do was let her run the show and my life would be easy. No stress." Exactly.

God bless this beautiful couple. I'm 70 and I'm pretty sure I saw them on the Newlywed Show so many years ago!

I have a friend every year on their anniversary, she always says the story . It’s now 39 years they eloped and married. Everyone was against them getting married saying it’ll never last . They’ve 4 children ,7 granddaughters and one grandson . And they’re still madly in love

My wife and I met more than 32 years ago in Houston, Texas. She's Jamaican (don't ever confuse a Jamaican with African American or anything else!) and I'm Latino. We've been married 25+ years now. Yes, you learn that a Black woman's hair is very different from other ethnicities! Time, cost, hair products, etc. My wife has changed her hairstyle many times over the years, and each time it was a 180° turn from the previous one. I'd add "patience" to secrets of marriage longevity. Along with the other things this loving couple said, the patience to deal with the curve balls life throws at you is a must.

*We knew it was out there and we just didn't let it in, we just ignored it* - I love that attitude

This couple is so much like me and my husband. I'm still on chemo for breast cancer and my husband had prostate issues and now dealing with lung cancer. We are interracial also and have been married for 10 years now. Stay blessed 🙏🏼😊🤗🥰

They have such a positive outlook on everything 🥰

My Uncle and Aunt were an interracial couple , He passed 20 years ago. My Uncle is white and my Aunt is African American and they were married in Rayne Louisiana in the 70’s themself. There was so much back lash they made front page news in the town paper. they were married for 18 yrs before he passed.

My parents were interracial my eldest sister born 1958 this was a Georgia man moved to Ohio met my mom who is Caucasian working at hospital. They are both deceased 😢. Very hard acceptance with parents as they married. Their was acts by strangers of racism and the looks. My mother did not care she was a hoot did life her way. I wish they were still with us. This couple is adorable ❤ congratulations anniversary lifetime of love

Absolutely wonderful love story and an amazing couple ❤❤❤

I had to "school" my husband about why I used lotion.😂 He never knew about "ashy" skin until we got married. He treated me like a queen. His family couldn't believe he married a Black woman.

The Lovings from Virginia went through HELL with their interracial marriage watch the movie. I love seeing interracial couples together. Jeri and Mike, you both are setting an example of interracial couples that can survive if you both love each other. ❤

I could see Mike's face so sad as Jeri was explaining her part. May the Lord bless you both with total healing to enjoy many more years of love and inspiring others in Jesus name!

There is ONE race on Earth, the HUMAN RACE! With that written Jeri and Mike are certainly a cute couple!.God bless them for having such a long, loving and successful marriage! That's a rarity in these times!

These two are a true King and Queen 👑!

I love, love love this couple. There were plenty of interracial marriages/couples in the 1970s and prior say 1950s. I attended college in the 1970s with many students who were born in the 50s to black-white couples. No one batted an eye. I'm Black.

I was scrolling down my KZfaq and saw this couple on the Newlywed game and decided to watch. I NEVER knew that they had a KZfaq page!😊 So sweet! You can tell how much they love each other!🥰

They are much in love with each other.. By watching them in that show newly Weds, when they were young, and seeing them now, it is obvious they are CRAZY for one another ♥️♥️🎉

Sooo cool, Sheri gave them the trip they missed on the game show they were on

It is beautiful couples to see them as an interracial couples because I myself grew up with my parents who are interracial & I am proud to be mixed races.🥰

My thoughts and prayers are with the two of and your family 🙏🙏

Jeri, I am just seeing this video! I am praying for you.❤ My grandma was not once, but a two time breast cancer survivor. She was first diagnosed in 1988 and they did a mastectomy of her right breast & lymphnodes. They tested her shortly after and they got all of the cancer removed. She was on a medication for years after that would help it from returning they said. I believe it was in 1997-1998 cancer returned in the same location my grandma had her mastectomy. We were all shocked because it had been 20 years and in the same area? Grandma did radiation treatments for several weeks, I don't really remember how long now, but once again she was breast cancer free!! My grandma did have cancer 4 times. First in the tip of her nose, which was quite comical because it came during my brother's graduation time and she had a cotton ball stitched to the end of her nose. The 2 breast cancer occurrences, and pancreatic cancer, which she didn't pass from. My grandma passed from a stroke. My dad, however, did pass from pancreatic cancer. I have tested positive, showed up on the CT Scan and all that I had Ovarian cancer, but Praise the Lord, when the Oncologist went in, My Ovaries were full of Abscess all around them. I tell everyone, yes! Doctors, lab techs, people saw all the right results! However God did a Miracle on Me! He wants me to tell people! I do! I don't hesitate either. I was in a very high stage of cancer according to the doctor. He didn't want to say anything until after the surgery! I am so thankful for what the Lord did for me!!❤

What a beautiful couple and an amazing outlook.

These two look like that have the best time together. That's awesome.

This sweet couple was on The Newlywed Game in the 70s. They sure are an inspiration❤

Excellent interview. Excellent responses. May God continue to bless Mike and Jeri. Amen

I came across their video where they were on the newlywed game and they were so funny They still look the same.🤗

I'm so glad you made this!!! My parents married in 1977 and are also mixed and rare for the times.

Thank you God for taking this beautiful couple through their health journey ❤😊

I can’t believe they didn’t bring up their appearance on The Newlywed Game back in the late ‘70s. Sherri hosted the last version of the show for a time.

I came across them quite a while ago and found Mike rather stoic. Watching him the entire time that Jeri was speaking about her prognosis, you can see how much he deeply cares for his wife. He's doing all he can to hold it together there.

Y'all are adorable!! Happy Anniversary. May God continue to bless you guys.

THIS IS THEIR SECOND TV SHOW. I love them.

Sherri hosted the newly weds game show and they were once on the newly weds game show. Full circle. I wished they'd mentioned that.

Wow I love this couple they're sooooooooo positive

I've been watching them for awhile now and I love them. They seem so happy with each other. I pray God continues to bless them. ❤ I have the same cancer Jeri has . So far so good.😊 Bless you 🙏🏿 guys.

Beautiful just Beautiful 🙌🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Love this kind of love💚 GOD IS SO AWESOME. Blessings upon blessings Lord plz keep these beautiful souls covered and protected and let their story of love,compassion and humility be a story through out the ages🙏🏾

May God bless you both with many, many more years of happy marriage and in good health. :)

You two are so adorable!! Sending lots of love to you guys!

Just discovered you two on KZfaq about a week ago. We will be celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary in June of 2024, so we're right behind you! Your responses to the questions about marriage longevity and being a mixed couple in the 70's are almost carbon copies of what we say when asked the same things. We get to add that we're both musicians and enjoy performing together. Congratulations and hoping for many more happy years!

SHERRI YOUR FABULOUS AND THANK YOU FOR SHOWING JERRI AND MIKE I LOVE THEM

Wow! I teared up watching that. Congratulations!

I absolutely love how dear Jeri knew what Mike was going to say (was his secret tip). She started smiling early! I guess everyone has noticed, and adores as much as I do, how in tune with ea other this darling couple is. All my best-best-best wishes and of course love to Jeri&Mike, from quite afar.

This couple are such a good relationship example for everybody.

Mike and Jeri, you two are seemingly beautiful individuals, even sweeter as one!!!!!!! You are the best of friends, kind, loving, caring, considerate, seemingly, understanding of one another, so genuine/intentional with making one another happy!!!!! As I said before, for a different video that you two posted, GOD put you two together, you two were obedient/intentional in keeping it together!!!!! Your union is the epitome of what a marriage should be/look like, you two are lovely!!!!!!!!

You two love-birds have made my day special, I absolutely love your love story! Many Blessings to you and your family ❣

Love Jeri and Mike ❤️

Prayers for continued healing, what a great couple❤😊❤

Love this!

My husband and I have been together since 2012 and we still get the looks. We met in Georgia and now live in Florida so ppl are not as open minded in the south unfortunately but we truly pay it no attention. Love truly has no color.

Peace and Blessings! Absolutely amazingly beautiful love story! Congratulations 🎉 I pray you each experience good health, healing,joy, may God bless you with many more years together. Jeri continue doing what you're doing, live life to the fullest!

Be safe.

….💞I Live This Couple For Sharing Their Live And Happiness ~ They Always Leave Me With A Big Smile💞….

@sherrishepherd thank you for this update and for sending these beautiful and deserving souls on this trip. God bless you too Sherri

I grew up in the 80’s as a teenager and my high school was white and black and I can tell you the racial tension now is far more worse and back then we all got along and respected each other as human beings!!

Hair and music! 🤣🤣🤣 True story. My husband would say the same. He also says our family is much more lively and don't worry about sugarcoating things between us.

I just love those two!

Congratulations Jeri and Mike... Wish you the best.

How are you two, the last view, Jerry was been treated for breast cancer😢😢😢, is she in remission 😮😮, THAT'S GREAT MIKE & JERRI, HALLELUJAH ❤❤❤

True love finds its way, you are both blessed, enjoy being in love through the years. May the LORD bless you more years of happiness, good health, peace n abundance. Stay safe n enjoy vacationing @ Los Caboz.

It amazes me how I'm told now hw racist my town was in the 70s. In the 70s, my neighbors next door were an interracial couple. He was black, she was white. I was 10 when I seen Jerry and mike on the Newlywed Game. I thought they were a beautiful couple and you could tell she was iin love. They did reruns on that show like, forever. I had my first child at 35. I didn't marry until I turned 50.....to a Nigerian queen.

Such an adorable couple!

Bless you both! Many more years of love and good health.

They grew up in a less selfish time. Congrats folks.

I love this couple...

What a beautiful couple!

I just love this couple

That was so BEAUTIFUL. Many Blessings and Love to Both, also the host.

I've watched many many utube videos about this couple. I feel like I know them! A wonderful family. Prayers to both 😅

Omg! Such a beautiful couple! ❤🤗🙌🏻♥️♥️😍 that pic of both young is hot! 🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️

Seems to this old hippie, people were more accepting of their differences in the 70’s than they are today 😞

Happy anniversary guys I love you have fun in Mexico🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
