Do you mean mixed religiously or ethnically? My husband is Muslim from Pakistan and I am Catholic (the product of a Catholic German mother and Muslim Persian father) and we are all very happy!
It's not even an issue in our households, I wish the rest of the world was that way!

When two people commit to each other and get married other ppl need to keep their comments and hatred to themselves. That's what makes it UNacceptable. I was married for 24 yrs to a man from another country. We lived in Illinois no one said anything to us about it. But we moved to south Arkansas and it was a total different thing... Prejudice is running wild here. When we moved her we had no idea. There were so many hurtful hateful things said and done to us it made us miserable. I was totally in shock when my kids came home from school crying and asking Mom why are they calling us names and saying these things to us... Explain that to a 8 yr old. I just told him that they were taught to be ugly and didn't have the love of God in their hearts. I think it depends on where you live. If someone will be hurt by a mixed marriage most likely it will be the children... somehow they aren't looked at as normal. Both of my children now are grown and are very successful, daughter is a pastors wife and a loving mother of my 2 granddaughters. Son owns 2 business' and doing very well. You have to be a very strong person to do that and live with the consequences. Good luck.

Are you suggesting that mixed marriages are not acceptable? Racially speaking, no race is superior to another, and mixing genes from very different gene pools helps to wipe out genetically transmitted diseases. This is a very positive benefit. If your argument is about religiously mixed marriages, these have been happening for a long time now and their net effect seems to be greater tolerance for the religious views of others. Bans against mixed caste marriages have no justification whatsoever.

I'm wondering why you think mixed marriages aren't acceptable. There are two reasons mixed marriages may need some extra adjustment from the partners. Different cultures have different lifestyles and the couple may need to compromise to please both cultures. The second is they may need to deal with society issues which, in many areas, still have a problem with mixed marriages.

As a Christian, I hear many Christians say that mixed race marriages are wrong. That is unfortunate because it tells me that they haven't studied the Bible. The Bible is very clear about the fact that Moses married a woman "of a darker race". Since he was one of God's right hand guys, I am sure God is ok with it and we should be as well.
