Can someone from different race become a good partner?

I have seen so many people around marrying people who does not belong to the same race as they are. I have known some who are successfully married but there are some who ended up with failed marriage due to racial differences. How about you? Do you think a different race would make you a good partner better than someone from the same race like you? ^_^

i have been happily married for 20 years to my husband from another race. we don't have a problem with it so why should other people.

My boyfriend and I are from different races and in all honesty we get along super well. I suppose it can be a bit of a hurdle for some as they simply cannot get use to the many differences.
However with any marriage and or relationship it is called compromise. Even to people from the same race need to learn how to compromise. So some can while others find it too difficult.

well i think it's just like gambling... you calculate the risk, and if you think the odds of you losing the game are low, then you place your bets and go for it....
i think racial or cultural differences is a factor, but the success of an interracial marriage (i think) doesn't entirely depend on that fact... i think it's more important that we learn more about our partner...how to treat them right and let that person learn more about us too... i think if we learn to be honest about the things we like and we don't like, and couple that with determination and willingness to make the marriage work, it's likely that a marriage will succeed and love will stay alive.

honestly speaking,
my boyfriend is a foreigner in my country
and i also have former lovers
that has the same race i have,
both are incomparable,
im not saying i can be a better
partner if my lover is a foreigner,
and i am not saying as well
that i am better if its the same race
i have, its not about the race,
actually to make things work
you should agree on some things
try to work out the differences
between you, its the love that counts
for me.. not the nationality,
