What Are Your Thoughts On Interracial Marriage?

[SpaceGalaxy]

I mean marriage, NOT just dating and having sex interracially, but a life-time commitment. Are you for it, or do you think the cultural differences between the two of you will catch up with you guys sooner or later?

I say to each their own. Love should have no color. You should instead focus on if your morals and values align.

I am a black woman married to a white man. We are complete opposites. I am from one of the major big cities. He is from a small southern town. Our relationship works because we listen to one another. We are able to have those “uncomfortable” conversations that no one else wants to have. I have opened up his eyes to a lot. Instead of being ignorant, he opens up his mind to things he never thought of before. He now notices things when we’re out, that he never did before. As a veteran, he absolutely loves America. I have shared with him why I don’t feel the same way about this country. I’ve opened his eyes up to my experience of being a “black woman” in America. It is far different from a white man’s experience. This was cultural shocking to him at first. Yet once he got it, he truly got it. Sure our cultures are complete opposite. To be honest, I don’t actually know what his culture is. My bloodline has a lot of culture. When I ask my husband what is his, he still does not have an answer to this day. So he absolutely enjoys getting a taste of mine now. He has however introduced me to some “redneck” activities, so he calls it. That I actually have found myself to enjoy. We joke about racism all the time, without offending one another. However, we don’t make our relationship solely about race. We are aware and acknowledge our difference’s. However, we are both one and see each others as equals. The Universal Law of Oneness states, that we are all connected through oneness.

It always links back to culture. I don't think I'd be able to marry a man who was strictly against western customs (eg, if he thought Western girls were all huge sluts, hated our food, complained about the people, etc) since I adore my country. I guess it depends on how passionate he feels over his culture and how much I am willing to follow. In a way, it's like marrying someone with a polar opposite political stance. There are things you have to accept, appease, and disagree about

I think whatever kind of relationship consenting adults want to engaging with each other is their business and that's fine. Marriage between two people of the same race is difficult enough, when you introduce a racial difference, particularly a highly visible one, it adds an extra layer of difficulty. I'm not aware of stats which show the divorce rate among interracial couples versus non interracial couples but I'm willing to bet it's higher. Not all interracial marriages end in divorce of course and some are very successful. So I think it's a matter of whether or not you're willing to take the added risk.

There's nothing wrong with that at all. You love each other, you respect each other, you treat each other well, you have similar morals and you're willing to go through thick and thin with each other until the end of time, that's all that matters with a marriage. Race is a non factor.

Diving into the heart of love, let’s unravel this colorful tapestry called interracial marriage, shall we? Love knows no bounds, including the latitude and longitude of where we’re born. I’m all in for it, let's be clear. The blend of cultures in an interracial marriage can be as enriching as it is challenging, but then again, which marriage isn’t a roller coaster of its own?

Sure, cultural differences will poke their heads, but think about it; they spice up the relationship, inviting you both to a dance of understanding, respect, and compromise. It’s like being part of an exclusive club where your love story is uniquely yours, peppered with lessons in diversity and humanity.

The trick? Communication, folks. Keep those lines as open as the heart that fell in love. Remember, it’s not about how different your backgrounds are, but how you embrace these differences to create a love story that’s colorfully yours. So, wear those differences like badges of honor on a love that’s beautifully inclusive.

but what is the problem in interracial marriages? if both understand the cultural differences and respect the beliefs all is good

One of my favorite youtube channels is created by a Polish-Japanese couple. The husband is Polish and speaks Polish and Japanese, while his wife is Japanese and speaks mainly Japanese; her Polish is very limited. However, they create videos together about specific aspects of Japanese culture, as both live in Japan.

I'm in an interracial marriage and there's some significant cultural differences but there are things we both like and dislike about each others culture and we don't disagree about much. Some things are a a little WTF. Food is a bit of an issue sometimes because some of her favorite foods are a no go for me because it stinks up the whole house and sometimes the whole neighborhood. Nothing serious though. Communication is key and a lot of patience because English isn't her first language

As long as people get married for the right reasons, I'm all for it. When I say right reasons, I mean loving and respecting each other. Some people have disgusting interracial fetishes and I'm not okay with that. Others marry because they want their kids to look a certain way and I'm not okay with that either.

If I ever get married, my marriage will probably be interracial. I know it will be challenging, but I can't help who I'm attracted to. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[menina]

As for the cultural differences, I would say it depends. You can marry outside your race and still share the same culture.
I think both need to be committed and know that there will be differences, respect them and be open to them.

[LazerBean]

It is no different than marriage between two people of the same race. The cultural thing does it matter much, only that your values matter. And besides that, a person who grew up in rural Texas is going to have a huge cultural difference from someone who grew up in Chicago, so that doesn't really have much to do with race either.

[sheikalana]

I was born from an interracial marriage and my parents have been together for 30+ years. There are obviously cultural differences but you have to be mindful, respectful and understanding of those distances. Nowadays you can learn so much from other cultures on the internet. I’m also on an interracial marriage and we get along pretty well and are each other’s soul mate.

[sheikalana]

I forgot to add that relationships whether they are interracial or not have high chances to work if you and your partner share similar values and boundaries and understand each other’s roles in the relationship.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I'm in an interracial marriage and I'm perfectly fine with it. My culture and hers never interfere with one another.

[summiter]

It is no big deal as long as there is love involved

[ProbablyClueless]

I am generally a fan of interracial marriage, but you really need your values to align. Especially when cultures collide like that.

[Dongie]

I have a few friends that married and it seemed normal as same race ones. Some of the just for sex are a little freaky acting. The difference I suppose is the love.

[LiamJHayden]

The people other adults choose to marry is not my concern, and if the divorce laws were not so skewed I'd consider marriage and her race would not matter to me.

[loves2learn]

Is this even a 2024 question? 😳 Date and marry who you love and are attracted to. End of story. Is there still a stigma against interracial marriage? Don’t want any part of that.

[HawkPerception]

Everyone has their own preferences. All's fair in love and war. I'm a huge mix and if there weren't interracial relationships, I would not exist. I'm all for it.

[whistlingwh0res]

some people are happy some aren't. some Asian girls just want white guys thinking they will get some upgrade but they are still feeling discrimination.

[Anonymous]

Interracial marriage is usually not a problem, but interfaith marriage is more likely to cause problems.

[DrPepper12]

It's not A question that requires any thought. Fully in favor like any other humans. I do have to say however that interracial marriages often times produce the most beautiful children!!

[handsomelad70]

LOVE IT !!!(I'm the black dude who LOVES buxom blondes !!!)

[LaurenM1997]

It’s not about their Color or racial it’s about loving the person you are with

[Staximus]

If two people of different races grow up in the same area, there's not that much of a cultural difference

[Unit1]

Marriage is a sham and a scam and as far as I'm concerned with the human races? Don't care.

[elaphe]

I don't think anything about it. It doesn't concern me who wants to get married and to whom.

[imfreeze95]

I don’t really care. It’s also none of my business who married who

[Viking_Girl19]

Interracial couples looks cute 🥰

[mandyfire98]

I'm all for it with the right person

[OtterMan68]

love doesn't see color
