Recently on Tumblr Afro-Arts compiled images of black couples doing everyday things — shopping at the grocery store, taking selfies and making goofy faces. The images quickly went viral, a sweet reminder that, even in these difficult times, we have love. Sparked by Afro-Arts’ post we rounded up 60 of our favorite images of black couples laughing, living and loving in everyday life. We hope they put a smile on your face as they did ours 🙂 We weren’t able to find the original source for all of these images, so if you recognize anyone, please shout it out in the comments so we can add credits.

Beautiful!
Beautiful!!
Black love IS beautiful, but not everyone is a size 14..not most of the beautiful black women I know anyway
These images warm my heart!

@taja_janel is the queen in the yellow headwrap laying with her king on the yellow sheet & @ locsofpoetry_ & her king are in the picture where they’re wearing burgundy & he’s squishing her face as well as the 2nd & 3rd picture under the burgundy pic!!!
I need to get my skin on point (acne is out of control)! Everybody looks gorgeous, amazing skin/complexion.
Turmeric , water, lemon/ lime mask. Put it on at night and wear PJ’s you don’t love..Lol Get a dollar make up brush to apply the mask. Grandpa’s Thylox sulfur soap is good and can get that from GNC. Get some microfiber clothes too ..hope this helps if you try it.
::taking notes::
GOALS ALL AROUND
this was awesomely beautiful but there weren’t any gay men…like was there none around
These were beautiful. Way better than that Austrian & slave wife mess.
Yes and yes! That was tragic.
That was disturbing
Beautiful!!
I guess black gay men don’t exist.
the site is called blackGIRLlonghair
So cute!
Beautiful pics!
I have a confession to make…
Couples and love and hugs and kisses are great and all, but I was really just caught up in looking at all the hair styles. Please forgive me.
same hahaha
Not alone, this picture with the girl on the mirror…her afro had me crying tears of joy
so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! Black love is great
This is really beautifull, but what about gay black men¿?
The blog is focused on the celebration of black women so it is understandable they would not publish photos that don’t feature black women in this article. I don’t think they were saying anything negative by not including gay black men.
#BlackLove<3
Black Love is always Beautiful.
I love this! So beautiful
This is all gorgeous..but They all look like variations of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet. Where are the everyday/non-insta looking Black couples, like our parents, siblings, frats, cousins, friends, aunt/uncles, etc?
Maybe they don’t post pics on ig…they still exist
So cute! The picture of the girl on her mans back in front of a building called madhatter is mine. Glad to be included in this post 🙂
Beautiful.….black love is strong in these pictures
Straight people. Straight people, everywhere!
There weren’t just straight couples in there…Although a real shame not to see any gay (male) couples included…straight, lesbian & gay relationships should all be celebrated and looked at through this celebratory lense.
Although I agree, I think black men and women were shown more because
a) society believes we cannot get along together
b) that’s what they could find
That’s just my theory
This website focuses more on black women.. So I think thats why they only show couples with at least 1 female in them. There are lesbian couples showcased if you look carefully.
[…] was just touring my Facebook News Feed and came across a post from BlackGirlLongHair about a tumblr with pictures of black couples caking while doing ordinary […]
Beautiful

So many of us are intensely concerned about the effects of harsh and, or dangerous chemicals in/on our temporal lives but not about the impact sexual immorality will have on our eternal lives?
Maybe our focus is wrong.
Virtue is beautiful. God’s mercy, forgivesness, grace and righteousness are beautiful. Love, as defined and demonstrated by God Almighty, is beautiful.
Yes, I’m going to be THAT person– the one who has the increasingly unpopular, exclusive, “behind-the-times” thing to say because, from where I’m standing, (as upsetting as some will find my comment) it’s unloving and disingenuous to do otherwise.
Rom 1: 16–32
it’s not behind the times to have views based on the Bible. It’s not behind the times to believe the Bible. That would be an ahistorical claim that only fuels the fervor of self titled martyrs/victims of “The Good Word” like yourself. You are entitled to feel whatever you want as long as it doesn’t prevent other people from living their fullest most beautiful lives (according to what they feel is fullest and most beautiful). Unfortunately for you though, you don’t get to decide what “truth” everyone must live their lives in accordance with. This is not to tell you… Read more »
You’re right. I don’t get to decide. The Lord does. Thank you for not barring me from “dumping my spiritual beliefs into public forums …” Apparently it’s only acceptable for people who hold your views to do so.
“…no one cares.” said she who cared enough to reply. Brava~
I’m not called to convince you to care; I’m called to be His witness and proclaim His truth. He draws whom He will.
I wasn’t being sarcastic about my belief that you should have the right to express what you feel wherever you feel it I genuinely meant that. Often times Christians mobilize martyr like rhetoric i.e. (i am the lone voice of salvation in a sea of heathens and these heathens dont want me to speak the truth!!) And so i was offering as Heathen Supreme that your voice and your opinion is loved and welcome! No need to be a martyr. I also never said I wasn’t dumping my opinion into a public forum. I definitely am!! The only difference between… Read more »
Thanks sis. Yeah, I suppose it would suck, not in terms of the here-and-now (because my faith in Him sustains, propels, and enriches me in a way no other thing or person in this world has or could) but the idea of not being with Him eternally. My apologies for the tone I gave off, but, to be fair, of all the comments posted, there isn’t/wasn’t another like mine … and so, naturally, I suppose that would quite literally make me (and make me feel like) the “lone voice” (at least presently on this forum). I suppose I braced myself for… Read more »
Love them!
Anita Baker’s “Sweet Love” randomly came on my Pandora while looking at these photos.
Such a beautiful collection of photos.
[…] women’s day 2016. Photos of everyday Black couples to make your heart swoon. Interesting comparison photos of breast milk. Alternatives to mainstream […]

Where are the black people in wheelchairs. Where are the over weight black people. Where are the albino black people. Where are the Asian black people? Where are the transgender black people? Where are the transgender homosexuality black people? Where are the blind black people? Unfortunately we live in a cultural that is hypersensitive about every slight omission of a niche group of people.…. When there is clearly no ill will intended. It is literally impossible to include every under-represented subgroup of an all ready under-represented group of people.… Good gracious, why is this even an issue? I don’t see… Read more »

Aw look at the beaus and fros. #teamblacklove
The ladies had their hair on point and they’re husbands/boyfriends are reppin team natural quite well. Love this post.
I am disappointed by the overwhelmingly straight depiction of black love you are offering us. You had the opportunity to portray the fullness, the diversity, the DEPTH of black love and in a master post of sixty photos ~55 are ‚as far as I can see (which I’ll concede is a flawed tool of arbitration) a man and a woman. Those that are not are queer black women (femme and femme or femme and masc of center personal, which is both homonormative and an activation of the cultural obsession w hypersexualized black women I.e. where are the pics with two… Read more »
Gorgeous… Simply gorgeous.
loooooooooooooooooove this!
The 17th pic is Alyssa forever does anyone know the couple on the 26th pic?
