I am brown. My man is white. We are the stark opposite of
each other. Everything is so different since he was born in
the North and I am from the Southeastern side of the globe.
The food we love to eat, the things we love to do, he works with
business world and I work in the nursing field, our religion,
culture, customs and traditions up to our basic outlook in life is
a tad different. But still, we ended up being together. Our love
transcends boundaries, battled social stigma, overlooked almost all
that separates brown from white---literally. Our love may not be
perfect but we manage just fine. And here are some pointers for
lovers like us as to how to make Interracial love lasting...take
note, some of it may sound silly but mind you, it
works!!
1. For starters: Brown/Black mixed with white is chocolate
colored---it is supposed to be sweet, right? Act as if you are
still new into the relationship.
2. Never challenge each others point of view regarding race,
religion, political standpoint, customs and traditions or anything
that deals with how your significant other is brought up believing.
Just try to listen and see if you can pick up some good points and
in turn, you will get to know your partner more.
3. Always compliment each others color. Most interracial
couples have a hangup when it comes to that.
4. Try to visit your partners homeland and see how it's
like with your own eyes. Mingle with the family, friends and
anybody that plays a crucial role in your partners upbringing.
5. Have a little something that reflects both your cultures inside
your home. Mix it up, it's fun!
6. Once in a while, whip up something in the kitchen that may
be new for your significant others palate. Take out your family
recipe for instance or a local cuisine that you've learned
while you were growing up.
7. Practice some of the usual cultural traditions together. Like
for example, festivals and the likes.
8. Respect your partner because his/her past is what makes up of
what he/she is today. Always acknowledge his/her uniqueness.
9. Always compromise.
10. Battle the stigmas together.
11. Love unconditionally.

Report Abuseculture, tradition,..customs difference maybe still be able to manage that, but religion difference?in many part of the world that will be a trouble in the future specially if there will be children in the family, and i think religion is something so principle.I know that sometimes opposites attracts and love can go beyond all the difference but if there's absolutely nothing in common..how long do u think it will last?

Report AbusePresto, my boyfriend his parents are of different religions, his mom is Catholic, and his dad is Jewish, hes (my boyfriend) is 23. His parents are celebrating their 25th anniversary in a few weeks... so trust me just because you have "nothing" in common, can mean it will last... my mom, the last 3 guys she married including my dad, had things in common, and guess what shes probably gonna be getting ANOTHER DIVORCE! Every past relationship that i have been in where i had something, as in more than one thing in common with, never lasted.... and never went well.. compared to my current boyfriend who i have little to nothing in common with are going WELL despite the fact that we have little to nothing in common. Usually having not a lot in common or very little or nothing in common, leads to surprises, so the relationship is NOT stale like day old french bread.
