Do you guys believe in mixed marrages?

Question

Well my Aunt from my mom side got married to a french guy and thier really in love, but since she is 100% Indian like me, my grandmother doesn't even talk to her any more and my dad, sister, and mom dont think thats fair, it's not like she murdered anyone she just fell in love and she has the right to live her life the way she desires, it's better to marry someone that you love and whom loves you, rather than alway's judging somebody's origin or ethnicity, we dont choose which family or what origin to be born into it's chosen for us.does anybody else agree with me

Answer 1

Believe as in unicorns and santa claus? They do exist, so yes I believe in them. ;)

Seriously, people should focus less on color and focus more on the happiness of the individual's involved.

Answer 2

Mixed marriages can work as long as you have the will to survive. But the more people that are in your life and that you consider friends & family that are with you the easier it is.

Be a friend and understanding of your Aunt and recognize how tough it is for her. Even she is most likely walking into her husband's home or family where she is the outsider, much like your uncle might be treated from grand-ma.

But whether its different religions, cultures, ethnic backgrounds, or socio-economic backgrounds there will always be family members who are for & against choices being made. And though in movies the tougher choice may seem "romantically" more appealing, it just might not always be that way.

Answer 3

Yes, I agree with you, your absolutely right. Judging someone by ethnicity is called prejudice. It is best to marry who you love, after all you will be the one living your life with them, and the rest of the family will accept them eventually, maybe.I am mixed and all anyone who judges people that way would say is what about the children, they'll be confused and they will look ethnic. Guess what? My children are absolutle beautiful mixed children, everywhere I go people can't believe how uniquely beautiful they are. Support your aunt, they will need it, and I am sure they will have beautiful children. After all, we are more genetically alike between the different ethnicities than among each ethnicity. Mixed marriages create diversity, marrying people of the same ethnicity creates less healthy diversified individuals, with genes of the same diseases, they are more likely to pass them on to their children.

Answer 4

absolutely. i think if you find that special someone, you should not care what his origin/ethnicity is. would grandma have preferred that your aunt married someone she was not in love with so as long as her husband is a fellow indian? many people of the older generation tend to want the younger generation to marry within their own race. i think many still feel that way. it's really sad that your grandma is no longer speaking with aunt. i hope your aunt will stay strong and maybe one day, your grandma will come around and change her feelings.

Answer 5

I totally agree with you......When you fall in love with someone or vice versa it should be about who the person is and what that person means to you rather than what orgin or ethnicity the person is. It shouldn't make a difference, love is love and love is not unfair, it's people that try to make it that way.....
Let your aunt be happy and if they can't be happy for her then they will be missing out on being apart of her life......
Best wishes....

Answer 6

If more people could overcome this ridiculous idea that whites have to be with whites and so on, the world would be a happier place. People need to get over the belief that if someone is not just like them, then they are not worth anything. Seriously, its time that the human race grows up.

Answer 7

I agree with you..my mother had the old country mentality when I married this blond blue eyed gal. she refused to go to the wedding and I didn't care. She finally showed up for the last 10 minuts. That mentality is what made me marry outside of my own culture. it's my mother's fault.

Answer 8

I agree with you 100%. We were all created equal in God's eyes. When you fall in love you don't think of what the color of there skin is . I was married to a tex-mex/Aphace for 14 years. They were good in the beginning but I finally divorced him in 96. That was our 2nd marriage. God puts us were he wants us to be @ the time. Good Luck to you & Hugs.

Answer 9

When two people love each other there is nothing more to it. No age (well let's stay legal here), no race,no color,no origin, no religion, no sex. That's it. If other peopl stop speaking to you or whatever they obviously care more about their own racist ideas than you. And that's all folks.

Answer 10

I believe in love no matter the color. I have a mixed heritage of Black, White, and (Choctaw) American Indian. While my husband is Black and Korean. It doesn't matter what color your lover is, what matters is how he/she treats you. After all, everyone needs love, and nothing should stop one of God's most wonderful gifts.
