Marriage


Interracial marriage


      An interracial marriage is when two people of different races marry. Genetically, there are no physical impediments to interracial marriage. The factors that help or hurt a couple of mixed marriage are cultural and depend on the reactions and influences of the community in which we live. Society states what “should do” or “should not do” and this can cause that the reactions of other members of the community affect the decisions of those involved before and after marriage.

      In this type of marriage is common that each spouse brings to the marital union a list of what to do or not do, what to say or not say, in a marriage to prevent hurting her partner. These individual lists learned in different cultural groups may cause both apparently inevitable misunderstandings and conflicts. When cultural differences such as regional and class are added to the family the possibility of problems is bigger. Even small cultural differences can cause misunderstandings of importance.

      I think that despite the racial differences if there is love, they feel good with each other and they desire to start a family, the couple should try it and get married. This is what the story 'My mom is brown. My dad is pink. We are beige' shows. The story is a great example because the couple met and decided to get married no matter the difference of cultures. Obviously, due to different ways of parenting that they have there will be differences that can end up in discussions and problems, but all marriages have these discussions and problems even if they are not interracial. It is about knowing how to handle these problems and not letting some cultural differences cause a divorce. I think that despite the cultural differences that may have pairs of intercultural marriages, love should prevail. People should try it; I believe it is an interesting way to learn everything about another country and its culture.
