How do you feel about interracial relationships?Does it make a difference to you?Why or why not.I think its whats on the ins.ide that counts.I am a white lady and I have been married to a black man for ten years now.We have 3 kids together and I couldnt see myself living without him. Colour and race are only skin deep,its whats in your heart that counts.

I find it strange that you started a discussion of this nature. I myself would not have because someone might possible say something ignorant that would make me very upset because I too am in an interracial relationship. I have been married to my husband who happens to be half black and Koren for almost 7 years. We have two kids together. I don't even see why race has to be an issue. We are all people, and we marry people not a person's skin color. Of course I see my husband's color. How could I not? But I am not, as I am sure you are not, the type of person who stops at that. All people are wonderful and different. There are no two people of the same exact color anyway. So if we base our definition of interracial relationships on the color of people's skin then we are all in interracial relationships. My mom has really white skin and my dad is a dark shade of red, but they are both considered caucasian though their skin tones are really different. This is really trivial to me.

neelygal, it does not make a difference to me about interracial relationships, I believe its what is on the inside that counts not the color of ones skin and I believe that god felt that way too,I only wish that all people felt that way and maybe the world would be a better place. Congradualations on the 10 years keep up what your doing and it will be 20. Have a great day!

I would say it doesn't matters ........However, I know that if I were to marry someone of another race, I know my family wouldn't be as welcoming as they would if it were someone of my own race (better if they are of their same religious beliefs). I wouldn't let their intolerance sway my decision. It's love regardless of color or gender.

It does not matter if you are both of the same religious beliefs,like more or less the same things, and if you married because you were in love. It does matter if the reason you married him was because he was black and you were white, and your interest was not in his character. Anyway since you have been married for ten years, you did marry for the right reasons.

I think that all people have feelings and it is nasty for a person to be against someone because of the color of their skin. I think that interracial relationships are fine. What matters is a person's personality. It is lovely for children to grow up with some knowledge of their heritage. Like have stories from the Caribbean if their dad came from Barbados. I am glad that you are so happy with your husband.

I think it's all about how someone thinks or is raised. I personally have never had a problem with interracial relationships. It's what is in the heart that makes a person not the color of the skin. If more people thought about the heart and not the color then this world would be a much happier place.

I doesn't make a bit of difference to me and I applaud and congratulate you for your 10 year marriage and your three kids. It's what's in your heart that counts for sure! Annie
