Yes they are, and if you're planning on engaging in it, you (both) better be strong or else you're not gonna make it.

My opinion is thus: Love is the only importance. What bigoted, ignorant and racist people may or may not think can be challenging and may make it "harder", but so it was for those who first sat at a lunch counter or the front of the bus... The actual marriage itself is as difficult as you two choose to make it, IMHO.

Huh huh ... you said harder. Seriously, the unfortunate truth is that in some families and with some friends' circles, it would be harder. I don't know why, as I was raised not to care about someone's color/race/ethnicity. Always seemed too much work to me to keep track of things so you could "dislike" the right person. But I also believe love can conquer all. Don't listen to racist bastards.

I used to date ,in the 1970's outside my race,and even back then it was hardly noticed by anyone,nor nothing was said about it.They are the same as all marriages,and it is the marriages that fall apart ,not the fact of racial differences.

if you live in an ignorant imbred region it may be a problem, but on the west coast it is not. and on a more scientific view, "genetic diversity breeds strength." just as how fullbreed dogs have statisticaly shorter lives with more medical problems than mixbreeds, it is the same with humans. your children with have a higher chance at health and beauty. people who have a problem with mixbreeding need to not be breeding. the bananas we have today are a different breed than 30 years ago because a lack of genetic diversity allowed the plants to be wiped out by a variant of duch elm disease... the current bananas are at risk for a new variand of the same disease.

Not at all :)

i think that society and relatives impose a lot of different challenges that add to the standard stresses in a relationship.
-
If you love one another any outside pressures will help to make you stronger. In some places there may be some pressure but I do not think it is a great deal today. All marriages need work and understanding. I do not think race causes a problem sometimes culture can be a difficulty.
-
No, as long as you love each other, you can conquer anything.

I've been in several interracial relationships, and I'd say there are, unfortunately, difficulties that come with the simple fact that people are two different colors. however, if you have an open line of communication, and both understand that this is a reality, it's much easier to work through, and can eventually become a nonissue...or at least something you can laugh at together :)

Any marriage is hard these days,and i dont think it would be any harder,If you love someone,jus try to do what it takes to please them as they should do also..
-
Yes they are. My husband and I were in the market and the cashier asked if this was all I had, for food, cause he was standing behind me. I told her that it was all together. People are so blind with they way couples are today!!!
-
i'm only imagining - yes, they often are harder... it depends in part on the things a couple has to contend with - moreso than races. i think that racial comos often produce more challenges.
-
Not at all. It all depends where you life.
-
I am in an interracial marriage, and i would not say that is is harder than other marriages. Most marriages have many problems for the two to face, and if they come out together inthe end, then it say something good for botrh peopl, regardless of race.
-
Not really. Skin color does not matter if two people really love each other. I have answered calls involving a bi-racial marriage, where property was stolen. The children were well-mannered and both adults appeared to love and respect each other. They were good people.
-
It may be "harder" like if you ever got weird, prolonged stares (but when does that ever happen?). No I think, so long as everyone is agreed its for the individuals happiness, it's not really that much harder and seeing as how its so common, it's really quite the norm.
-
Interracial marriage is pretty common in lots of places. From what I've seen differences of economic status and culture are much more challenging than race in a relationship.

I am white and my wife is black. Yes, they are harder because we come from different cultures. They can also be more rewarding.

I don't know that they are necessarily harder, rather they present different challenges. The biggest ones being -trying to get your inlaws to respect your decision on a mate -instilling in your children a sense of who they are and being secure about it (as opposed to a lack of self identity) -Dealing with the insecurities of other people (and racist actions/comments) when you are out in public All marriages have common denominators that must be satisfied if they are to flourish. If these aren't met then it doesn't matter what color you and your mate are.
