    There isn't much information regarding divorce rates for interracial couple. It's common belief that the rate is much higher than for same-race couples but most experts in the field belive it is about the same. It think it may be more difficult to maintain these relationships with the differences in race but I also believe that people who marry someone of another race are more likely to put additional effort into it.

    I honestly don't know the exact statistics, but I would guess it is probably the same as same race marriages. My grandmother has been with an african american man for 10 years and they are still crazy about eachother if that helps:) I believe that no matter what the race of a couple, there will always be problems, but if a couple wants to make it work, they will, regardless of race. I know this doesn't answer your question, but I hope it helped a little?

    I would explain the best that I can.

    I would say it doesn't matter whether it interracial or same race, divorces are happening everywhere these days.

    From 20 experience of dealing with divorced father, I've never had even one case involving a white male that was married to a black female.

    Not that I've seen. What's hard is adjusting statistics for race specifically. Economic background and culture seem to be larger issues than just race.

    My mother is a product of a interracial marriage and I am in a interracial marriage. My wife and I have been together ever since we first met and have been married for 16 years now. We believe it's no different then any other relationship. Give and take - Ups and downs. It's people on the outside looking in that try to throw crap in the mix that doesn't belong. Blacks have the most negative comments and whites aren't too far behind them. Just have to remember why you hooked up in the first place and nothing can touch or brake that but you. Can you dig it?

    I am not sure on the percentage, but I can say from experience it is hard to be in an interracial marriage,due to different customs and beliefs.

    i don't think that interracial marriages are so much of a problem as cross cultural marriages. the mix of cultures is much harder to overcome than race i feel and by cultures i mean even the difference between being french and english or english and american

    I have read that interracial marriages have a 80% divorce rate. Not sure if it is acurate. I would guess that is right since there are a lot of additional problems with family acceptance and other things.
