Any interracial marriages out there?

Question

I am white and my husband is black. I meet so many same-race couples who seem to be uncomfortable by this. Not that it matters, I just want to see what some of you have to say.

You guys really are awesome. It's nice to see all the insight, experience and positive attitudes out there!

Answer 1

of course there are... don't be bothered by these people if they find it "disturbing" they are obviously narrow-minded who are afraid to explore outside their boundaries. these are the people who think they have a "say" on who gets to live here in this country... we are all immigrants here.

im asian. im not married yet, but i have a relative married to an irish-american, and another relative married to a guy from dominican republic. and also a cousin married to a jew.

Answer 2

Just for your information, in a former life I was involved in an inter - faith inter-racial marriage and at times I also noticed that there were individuals that felt uncomfortable about whom I had chosen to spend my life with. Usually I understood that this was either due to their personal prejuidices or ignorance or simply how they were brought up to think, that when marrying one ought to marry one of their own kind, whether religion or color. Some may feel it is hard enough for people of like cultural and religious backgrounds to have successful relationships, let alone people of different cultural and religious or ethnic backgrounds. It sounds like these people do make you feel uncomfortable and do make you question your relationship. To thine own self be true! If you deep down in your heart and soul feel you have chosen correctly, then just pray for those that seem to not accept or understand your choice. As I mentioned at the outset, I had this relationship over 10 years back. The wonderful woman I had spent 17 years together with passed away and I since then have chosen to return to the faith of my youth and therefore have re-married a woman of my own faith, This decision however would not have stopped me from marrying a Jewish woman that was a woman of color. I am a caucassian Jew, and after my former passed away, I decided to become an observant Jew, so therefore I would only marry within my faith, but once again would have married the right Jewish woman regardless of her color of skin and with no concern for what anyone else might have thought as long as she was my true soul mate and we both had a mutual love and friendship that would form the foundation for a successful union and life - long committment of holy marriage. Best of luck and thanks for the question.

Answer 3

i am mixed my wife is black but the truth is that it does not matter
the only thing matters is you both love each other and want to grow together yes indeed we still have have a lot of issue with race but we as people all people any color country or what ever we really need to come more close and bond together so it dont matter because no matter what you do or who you are with or where you work or wear you me and many others out there still have to deal with people talking about us and judge us but go on with your life and give it to god because he is the only one that can judge and he does not do it so be happy if you want to be with a black man or what ever god bless you and everyone witha mind of are own so be happy dont go on with life being stress out or upset for someone else cause at the end its not worth it god bless and have peace :)

Answer 4

I am white, but have a black wife; and we are very happy. I do sometimes get surprised looks when I introduce her to workfriends or other acquaintences. I think that when people see white men with black woman, the social aspect of it is different then when black men are with white woman. I am not sure why though, not that it matters that much to me!!
if you want, you can email me to ask more questions.

Answer 5

We're out here...

My wife is Filipina/white and I'm black, and I totally understand what you mean when same-race people feel uncomfortable about it. They say everything is okay, but then they look at the two of you like a third eye is going to sprout from either of your foreheads...
