It works just as well as any other marriage. I am Filipino-American and my husband is African-American and we've been married18+ years. But have been separated for 6 months this year and back together reconciling. Our problems had nothing to do with our ethnic backgrounds. Oh, and aside from our ethnicity, I am 5 years older than my husband.
Of course love plays an important part. You both love each other the same? How long have you've been together before being engaged? How long have you known each other? My husband and I are both college graduates, both of us grew up in California. We have two beautiful children. My family and the rest of the relatives had a problem with it, and were vocal about it. His family, secretly had their issues but said nothing to him, but yet were supportive.
Your marriage will be as strong as your committment to each other and any future children. But I think the statistics are the same for your future marriage, as any marriage in general...
Age of you and your fiancee, length of courtship, highest level completed in your education, have many things in common? Shared political and religious views? Make sure you both talk about what you expect from each other in the marriage. What roles and duties will each expect and play in the marriage. Of course things will change along the way and be open to make changes in expectations from/within each other. Don't let outside influences such as what others (family, friends, strangers) think of mixed marriages, affect your relationship.
I wish you much luck and happiness in your marriage! I hope this answers your question.

Well it doesn't depend on the race but the people marrying!!! It will work if you and your wife work together and don't let outside garbage into the marriage, like other peoples opinion of your relationship/marriage, etc. GL and Congrats!!

There additionally are somewhat some chinese language human beings in Cali and manhattan. chuffed looking!

any marriages work well if you love her ;) the only issue I can see happening would be family/traditions.. I know my ex was half black/Dominican and his mother hated me because I was white.
