lines of one's recognized race

Interracial Dating is something that people look up-to especially when you have been raised in an environment with love, one always wonders how it feels to love and be loved. From teenagers to adults, no one has the working guide of how a relationship should be and this sometimes is made even more difficult by interracial dating. What is interracial dating and what pressure comes with couples of different races in a relationship?
We have branded interracial Dating as individuals of different race being in a love affair. This ranges from African America and white relationships, Asian and White relationship,Hispanic and African America; all these relations have been branded and their success story differs. Statistics has shown that, 73 percent of all African-American and White marriages are between an African America man and a White lady while it is 3.08 likely for the husband to be White and the wife to be Asian in an Asian White relationship by lifestyle on interracial relationships. What exactly therefore contributes to these relationships lasting to marriage and how do they deal with the public? Some who still see this as "not right?"
Interracial Dating and understanding your partner is hard, some individuals take forever to know their partners and some end up in divorce without fully understanding who they were married to. These pressure is thus made ten times more on interracial dating. Have you ever been with your boyfriend or girlfriend in a public place and someone hits on your partner right in your face? Maybe its just me but this behavior is so annoying, people look at the two of you and think that there in no way you would be dating. This is a struggle that interracial couple face some on a daily basis.
There are also couples who are not accepted because of their interracial love. Some say that somethings just don't mix, white and black/ brown is a no to some. These couples end up with a close group of friends and socializing is a nightmare to others.
One "struggle" that really can rock and break a relationship completely is our families. There some of our family members who don't and will never approve of an interracial relationship. They see it as a dilution of the "chocolate" as others put it. When the person you love is not accepted by your family it brings a rift and one is torn between a rock and a hard place. Either way you decide to go you loose.
Our existence to most of us is embedded in our culture. There are certain values that people like to hold on to so as not to wash away the little custom that is left. This therefore, brings onto different expectations in a relationship more-so to those whose culture don't intermarry. Compromising becomes a problem and the boat is rocked from within. A relationship could end prematurely before it decks off because of this.
Interracial Dating is a beautiful thing, a combination of different races in a homestead brings diversity and this should be encouraged. The problems that come about with color of ones skin should not hinder the love that is to blossom. The idea of categorizing relationships in line with one's race should be discouraged; to me love is love.
