Worries about marryng someone of a different race... founded or unfounded...

Are worries about marrying someone of a different race founded or unfounded? It is my personal belief that any worries one might have vary individual to individual. While some might find a cultural barrier to difficult to deal with others may find it perfectly fine. Other factors that cause people worry can be their families. The opinions and feeling of other family members can weigh heavily on the minds of some people and could even cause a perfectly healthy marriage fall apart. In America we have probably the most diverse mix of races and cultures in the world. So interracial marriages in America are far more common. Children born and raised here may be of any number of races both mixed and pure but since we all lived here our entire lives the shared experiences make those marriages easier. It is when we venture outside our countries that the cultural and racial differences become much more apparent. These however with a good heart and an open mind are able to be overcome. The ability to communicate however is probably the most vital. Communication is the secret to any relationship and marriage most of all. It is up to the individual to think ahead and either decide that they are up for the unique challenges of an interracial marriage or not.
