Interracial Couples

Interracial marriage is more than an ethical discussion. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the internet, interracial couple is a romantic couple or marriage in which the partners are of different races. The answer, if differences affect in multiracial couples is positive. There is a continuous debate among spouses related to the most serious issues of individual religion, nationality and education.

Let us have a first look in history. In the book entitled “Tell the court I love my wife-race, marriage and law, an American history» (New York Library of Congress, 2002, chapter 4, page 61) Walleinstein

Peter points that “interracial sex characterized as a forbidden fruit and interracial marriage as a match so inappropriate that it jeopardized the social order”.

In short, cities like L.A, London and New York give the opportunity to people to develop relationships with other individuals whom native language is different from the language they speak .This challenge make opposites at first to attract!! So let’s assume that opposites do attract and possibly start a long distance relationship, get a marital status and then notice the differences. These differences might be tremendous, but might also be extremely difficult. The couple decides whether or not it is threatened by the difficulties or if will continue their life together. In the book “Ethnic Los Angeles”, Waldinger Roger (chapter 5, pages150-151).
