Positives: new insight, new scope, broader frame of mind; you are imbued with the values of another culture, and you will always be a better person for it. You are opening yourself to the possibility that love knows not color or creed, and it is a glorious realization, because many individuals never come to realize this.
Negatives: religious differences that may interfere with the way you were raised and ultimately the way you may raise children if you were to have any, different customs; others who do not know you may judge you in ways you can't comprehend. Pay no attention to them - surround yourself with the people who see how deep your relationship is, regardless of culture. We live in a multicultural world in which the trend is homogeneity, but you will love who you love - always remember that!
