Inter-racial marriage?

my husband and i are inter-racial.

he is latino and i am white

at first his mother did not want ot hear of it, but you know what in time they will most likely come around, that and well my hubby put her in her place(w/o me telling him anything)so i wouldnt worry just give it time.

I am not in an interracial marriage but my granny was shunned because she was English and married an Irishman. The only people in her family that came to the wedding was her oldest brother and father. Her mother and all of her other siblings refused and said she disgraced the family and tainted the lineage. Of course that was a long time ago but still. It is about the same thing. See her marrying my grandfather was like her marrying another race to the eyes of her family. They were upset for a long time and didn't even speak to her. They eventually got over it. That is what will happen. Your family will eventually get over it and come around to see that the person you marry is a wonderful person to you. If they do not, then it is their loss. Hope that everything turns out great. My cousin just married a Mexican. Some people in the family aren't very happy about that. I am hoping they have some dark complected red headed babies! So pretty!

I am in an inter-racial relationship (not married), I am Latin/Caribbean and my bf is American/caucasian. I have to say both our families have been extremely accepting of our relationship. Of my family no one ever said one negative thing, and of his family I am not aware anyone has either.

I feel for you though, and I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I understand that it would be ideal for you both to have your families present with you on your big day, and be supportive of you throughout your marriage. However, you have to do what is right for you. The point of your marriage is not to please others or to have a big wedding with the whole extended family. The point is that you are making a commitment to each other out of your love and respect for each other. That is the only thing that matters.

And I am willing to bet that on the long run his family will come around.

Even if they don't, you will have your own family to worry about then.

Good luck to you.

Yes I am in an interracial marriage. I was in one during my first marriage and everyone told us we weren't going to make it; we would never stay together; its only puppy love; looks when out it public; ect. That made us want to get married even more. Everyone came to the wedding almost. The ones who didn't I knew I would have anything to do from then on; only one aunt. At first both of our parents were against it they eventually got ok with it, but what choice did they have. I had my mind made up to get married and was willing to do whatever to do it. We were young 18 and 19. We ended up divorcing because I thought I could eventually change him, but I learned I couldn't. I loved him but couldn't deal with the lieing.

I got remarried into an interracial relationship and have had no problems. I also didn't live with my parents so I didn't have to deal with any racial problems. Well one of my aunts did ask me why another guy outside of my race. But I just brushed it off and said I love him and I wasn't planning it. It just happened that I feel in love with him. Which I wasn't looking for love I was just looking for a friend and someone to chill with. It just happened to turn to more. My marriage has lasted and I believe will last.

I think its important to understand your partners ethnic background. I know my husband's very fluently. So race doesn't play a part in our relationship because we are so alike. Parents will never want their child to get married cause there will never be a woman/man good enough for their baby. Something to consider. I say if you love them and you know the relationship is what you want and your happy then get married. Its for you to love nobody else. You got to live with that person not them.

I am also a Filipino about to married my american fiance and I am glad our pastor had never said anything against GOD's law. We are all created in his image and it does not limit on what races you will marry as long as you love each other and promise to stay together in trials or happiness and as long as JESUS is still the center of your relationship it will works. Marriage life actually is not full of ideals..what you want will not happen all the time. But maybe your relative who is a preacher want you to marry someone he knows soo much though it is also a good thing but he can't dictates you and threaten by using GOD in it. They said that contentment is between too much and too little of something...GOD bless with your plans

I'm not in an "inter-racial" relationship, but I do know that when you cross this barrier, you will encounter negativity. My advice is to search your heart. When you marry this person, it will be for you and not your family/friends or your spouses family/friends. You have to live for yourself and not others. Make sure you are ready for this and go for it. Most of all, make sure God is in it and all will be well. God Bless

I wanted to like white men, but I cannot do it. I am still really attracted to them, but found that Asian men are best for me in the long run. I have more in common with them, feel more at home with them. I think you will find that you have a missing piece to your life if you get in IR marriage when you have doubts.

I dated white guys and I always wonder if they really understand Asian culture and have deeper connection. It's not the same with same racial. But if you are happy, both sides parents should blessing you.

the same thing happened to me with my family.i feel like this they should support you ,if they do not do this you may have to distance yourself from them for a while if they love you they will come around.if not think about it when you have children with your spouse to you want them to around him or her anyway!!!!!!!i know it will be hard but they need to accept your decision. good luck!!!!!!!!!

you have to worry about you and your fiance,don't let your family interfere in your life they have their own lives to live do not let their ignorance have a factor in your life..follow your heart because if you don't you will live a life full of regret.
