Commuter marriages are becoming more and more common for couples of various ethnic/racial backgrounds. However, little research examines the experiences of African Americans engaged in this lifestyle. This article reports the expressed experiences of four African American couples engaged in dual-career commuter marriages. As a qualitative study, focused in grounded theory, interviews were conducted with the participants as couples and as individuals. Specific cultural issues relative to ethnicity, gender, commuter relationship role, and duration of commuter lifestyle are discussed, and implications for theory, practice, and research are presented.
