In December 2007, after becoming disappointed with statistics showing low marriage rates and high divorce incidences in the black community, Lamar and Ronnie Tyler, a typical middle-class couple, decided to combat the findings.
Having a keen and in-depth understanding of the rising impact of social media, they developed a website, BlackandMarriedWithKids.com, to focus on positive images of marriage and parenting in the black community. The Tylers display healthy relationship content on their site, complete with photos of happily married couples and families.
On Saturday, March 31, the Tylers screened their fourth documentary about marriage, Still Standing, to a sold-out crowd at Chicago’s ICE Theater.
The Tylers took to the stage to introduce Tyler Media’s new film, which did not disappoint. The Tylers produced an entertaining, thought-provoking film that is real, relevant and relatable to those looking for love finding love, and committed to staying in love.
