Maybe hispanics and blacks tend to feel that having a child will make the relationship stronger. I'm not sure what to think of this.
I totally disagree with those black and hispanic women. If you have a strong marriage and things are well, children CAN strengthen that. If your marriage is not solid, having children will always make things worse. They are stressful. If you're already not working as a team, they will rip apart what's left of your marriage, essentially hastening an inevitable break-up.
I don't know why black and hispanic women think it'll make a marriage stronger. Many of them have kids and it clearly didn't bring them closer to the fathers which is why there are so many black and hispanic single mothers.
I don't know what to make of that either. Maybe for black and latino women children = healthy marriage? From what I've seen in my life, that's not always the case though, so I don't know where those beliefs stem?
