I think it is good to see people commit to a marriage, it really doesn't matter what race or color. When it comes down to it, we all came from the same place-right? If you are really in live with your mate, then marriage is honorable. After all, you won't be spending the rest of your life with dear old mom and dad, so you've got to follow your heart on this issue.

Well, im divorced. While I loved my husband we had too many issues, particularly his looney family. So unless they were gone, no, i would not marry him again. But, I also would not give up the years we had together, or the beautiful son we have together, for anything.

The sacred union of marriage is between a man and a woman.  That is how it is supposed to be.  It is completely unnatural for two people of the same sex to get married.  I will never view a homosexual "marriage" as a real marriage.  It is a total insult to me and all of the other people out there  who are in a true and natural marriage!  How dare two people who have chosen to ignore God's Word and engage in a totally unnatural relationship compare their relationship to the relationship that I have with my husband by getting "married" ?  PLEASE!!!

I understand your position very well. Where I come from, the society finds it hard to accept inter-tribal marriages into the mainstream - surprisingly even if both of you are Muslims.\nIt is very hard to convince Muslim parents to accept an 'non-believing' daughter-in-law, mother of their grandchildren etc. In your case, one can say it is justifiable (Islam only allows Men to marry PIOUS Christian and Jewish Women). Conversion to Islam, may help soften their (Your Man's Parents') hard position; I don't know about your's. \nOne thing worthy of consideration is that, contrary to modern secular opinion, in deeply traditional societies like yours (and mine), one marries into a whole family, not just a member of that family. So, by marrying him, you are kind of, inducted to his entire brethren (and sisteren :P) and vice-versa. Although both of you are educated and having jobs of your own, you will be surprised to find out later after your wedding how deeply rooted in tradition both of you can be. You may end up judging one another according your individual religious/cultural standards, and THAT can be a problem ("ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME JUST THE WAY I AM; PERHAPS I MADE A MISTAKE!!!). This spell trouble with capital T! especially from the Man's point of view.\nI know you are seeking some 'constructive' ideas, but I can't help but be selfish. I'll want to advice for you to convert to Islam (with sincerity on your part and lots of help, patience and perseverance from your Man), get married with HIS parents blessings, move to another area (possibly another country - to lessen friction between families) and settle there.\nI hope this helps...\n(A-K-B)

I am a Christian and my hubby and I got married in a courthouse. I wasn't pregnant or anything, we just decided it was time to get married. It had no effect on my relationship with God, and in fact parts of the Bible were said at our ceremony. It was blessed by God and I truly believe that.

Inter-racial marriage can and does work. If you keep open lines of communication and discuss cultural differences before you marry. Love has nothing to do with race or culture and I think it's horrible that some parents try to pressure their children into limiting their choices by discouraging inter-racial relationships. My Uncle Ray and Aunt Mary are a perfect example of an inter-racial marriage that was successful, they had been married for 44 years when Uncle Ray passed away. They had a wonderful marriage and two beautiful daughters!

I didn't realize that this was such a big issue.  My husband is bi-racial and so is my 1st son.  I think that that's how the media banks off of things-----creating and building on stereotypes.  If you want to get together with another bi-racial person, go ahead on.  It doesn't make a difference one way or another to me....

I am in your shoes as i type, I am married to a island man, and it was love at first sight, but I will be honest with you, you are going to miss your family like hell! I have no family where I am residing now, but once love is in the air that's all the matters.  I am very family orientated myself, my husband is not!  If you can get him to move where you are at good for you, but if not you just have to follow your heart like i did! Take care! IF YOU WANT TO TALK YOU CAN EMAIL ME SPORTINTAHOE07@YAHOO.COM

same sex marraige, relationship, watever is so WRONG. if not for anything, at least for the love of God. the city of sodom and gomorah was destroyed cos of this sinful act. experimenting same sex is understandable but marraige, NO WAY. the one that kills me now is that these same sex partners have started adopting children. so who is mummy and who is daddy???

I was dating my husband (who is 4 years older then me) for 3 years before I told my parents (we are from 2 different cultures) because i was worried that they would be upset.  When i did tell them they didn't want to meet him.  My mum actually cried when i told her because she was so against it!! They met him after 4 years of us being together.  8 years later we are still together and we have been married for one and a half years.  My parents absolutly adore him now.\nWhatever is meant to be will be and if it's supposed to last you will get through anything together!!

yes i do the double take thing sometimes. the most ironic part for me is that i myself am the product of a mixed marriage. my mother is white my father is black. but still i'll see a light skinned child go to his/her dark skinned mother and i'm shocked, or a dark skinned child going to a light skinned father. i try not to stare sometimes i compliment them on such a lovely looking child and explain my situation and background.

Let's not ascribe personality characteristics too closely to national traits. There are pleasant and unpleasant people the world over. Be aware that many African women, not just from Benin, are looking to marry Americans, Europeans and others as a way of finding a better standard of living abroad. I say this as someone who is an anti-racist campaigner, and sympathetic to their situation. However, I know of too many people (men and women) who have been fooled into a marriage that was genuine on their part, but really a sham on the part of their spouse. Sooner or later the horrible truth dawned. I talk from personal experience here too - lol. I also know of lots of successful mariages too, so it 's not all bad - just be careful, and trust your instincts. If it seems too good to be true, well that's because it is.

i also had inter cast marriage, i am punjabi and my hubby is pandit, but in our case theres not much difference in our rituals and tradition, but as u told a hindu girl and muslim boy , so there is much diference in their rituals and traditions, further will guy be truthful to her all his life. becoz u know in muslim's its allowed to have more than 1 marriage , so will he be ready to accept just one wife while his religion giving him permission to have more than one, will he stick to her for all his life????????????????? well i dont think so, becoz all guys are same

Good morning, dearheart. Good for you. here's my take on gay marriage. I've been married to the same wonderful lady for the last 26 years. She drives OTR semi for a living and I'm a housewife. We both wear wedding rings and feel as married as the next heterosexual couple but I can get none of her health benefits. How my union is hurting society I can't fathom as our relationship has been monogamous for all of it's 26 years and that same union has lasted longer than many heterosexual marriages. There are couples on the LGBTQ site here that have been together for over 40 years (which is a great thing in its own right) How can their love be hurting anyone? Good luck and Blessings on you.
