Is there any difference between a biraical marrige and normal one?

Answer 1

"normal one" by that do you mean two people of the same race? Yes there are differences, one is as stated two people of the same race and the other is of two people from two different races. If you are asking what the different issues that will cause, then while it is "easier" on two people of the same race there are still things that can occur in each case. Religion, social status, educational differences, where they are from, different values can all affect marriages no matter what . While times have changed (thankfully) there can be added pressures on biracial couples with some prejudices toward them.
I have a cousin who is part of an biracial couple and our family accepts her and her husband without reservation. We love them both. But this is not always the case and that can be a huge emotional problem for the couple.
I believe and wish everyone believed that each individual should be judged for themself and not for their color/religion/origin.
Sorry to sound preachy-

Answer 2

I think Yes, there will be some cultural learning that will need to happen for both parties. I had an opportunity to house two African American Men in my home from New Orleans. They were with our family for about 90 days. The differences in the way there culture lives was way different then our Anglo white American culture. Also, New Orleans has it's own culture as well. So, If your in love with someone you learn about their cultural back ground and differences from what you are used to. This will provide a more blended view of each other and understanding when cultural disagreements arise. I wish you luck in your marriage.

There is no difference legally. The problems are the perceptions and reactions of other people. Relationships, including marriage are harder when there is not a common ethnic or cultural background. We all know the difficulties of any relationship. When you add the weight of the couple having different races or religions, the difficulties multiply. Often the parents of the couple are the problem. Each of them want their grandchildren to be raised in THEIR tradition, and object when they believe that it will not happen. Intelligent people usually can make things work.

Answer 4

There is no such thing as 'normal'. Normal is whatever you want it to be.

But as for the difference between a biracial marriage and a 'normal' one. A biracial marriage is one where two people of difference race are married, e.g. a white european male and an asian female. 'Normal' as you called it is when the people are of the same race.

That is the only difference, apart from that, unless culture or religion etc has an effect on how your marriage is, marriage means mainly the same thing for mostly everyone

Answer 5

They probably have more fun guessing what the kids will look like. Mine all come out identical, so its no fun. Otherwise, differences in marriage are based more on expectations, values, religion, cultural customs, finances, etc. I don't see where color plays a part unless there are very different values to go with it (Catholic Anglosaxon and an Islamic Iranian). If they like each other, are aware of the differences, and are willing to compromise and make things work, I don't see where color matters. But like I said, its gotta be fun guessing skin coloring/eyes/hair of the future offspring.

Answer 6

NO! I am a product of a bi-racial marriage, my parents had good times as well as bad times like all marriages. The only thing that I would have concern about is how you would raise your children. I had somewhat of a difficult time growing up, not totally being accepted by either race ( as far as friends, not family). Other than that a marriage is defined as man and woman not white and white or black and black. Good Luck!

Answer 7

hi,
wow what a question. what do you call a normal marriage? if you mean same race marriage as apposed to black and white, or black and any other race out their. no there is no difference in same race marriage than in biracial marriages. it is still one man and one woman getting marred because they love each other. the color of the skin does not decide who you fall in love with. the color of the skin becomes a problem when you allow others to make the decisions of the heart. i have always been told that you can not tell your heart who to fall in love with your heart tells you.so don't allow the old way to control how you feel. just fall in love.

Answer 8

Well you have to face issues that a regular marriage wouldn't. The families involved could have issues with other races and that would make family get togethers a hard one. Bottom line is if you two love each other, really, then it doesn't matter what others think

Answer 9

No. Relationships, how you deal with your kids, etc depend on individuals, not races.

If you plan on having kids, though, each ethnic group has disease(s) that docs will screen for. If the doc knows both of your races, then he can rule out common diseases in each ethnic goup faster. For white folks a common disease is cyctic fibrosis and in Middle Eastern folks they watch for thalassemia.

I'm not sur eif that's what you're looking for by putting this in parenting.

Answer 10

There is no difference between a bi-racial and any other marriage, except for the perceptions/prejudices of others.
