Michelle Obama’s recollection of former President Barack Obama’s marriage vows is absolutely swoon-worthy.
However, Barack soon proved he was far from half-intelligent.
One aspect that stood out to Michelle was his love for books.
She writes, “He never talked about material things.
[…] He read late into the night, often long after I’d fallen asleep.”
She writes, “Life with Barack would never be dull.
I knew it even then.”
The future president invited her to dinner, claiming it was to celebrate his passing the bar exam.
“Now that ought to shut you up,” Barack had quipped.
They married on October 3, 1992, at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ.
Michelle explained that the argument had shown her that getting that angry was a poor way to communicate.
Similarly, Barack Obama has been open about the strain his presidency put on their marriage.
