These are the very questions that will confront you day in day out when you get into interracial marriage. Your interracial wife may be the sweetest thing that happened to you. But you must be ready to face up to the challenges.

This is not to say that marrying an interracial wife is wrong. Nor am I saying that interracial marriage is not good for you.

I'm simply saying . . . be realistic. Do not rush into a relationship . . . interracial or otherwise.

First . . .

Every relationship has its challenges. There's no proof that love relationship between people of same tribe, culture, or religious affiliations are more successful than those between people of interracial backgrounds.

You will face challenges whether you fall in love with someone from your neighborhood who speak the same language as yourself or not.

However, the more the things you have in common, the greater your level of understanding of the other person's position. And hence, the less friction there'll be.

The ideal situation is to marry someone with similar background, education, beliefs, religious affiliations, and culture.

Why?

Similar backgrounds, beliefs, and culture ensure seamless integration when you get married.

There will be surprises.

When you get married, you'll certainly discover things about your mate that you never knew about her before. It doesn't matter whether you marry an interracial wife or not. It doesn't matter that you got into an interracial marriage or not.

It will happen to you.

You will discover things about your mate you didn't know about before you got married. What then? Will you pack up the relationship or will you hang on hoping to help your mate improve?

Remember . . . this can happen to anyone including you. This will happen whether it is interracial marriage or not.

Bottom line.

What's of importance is not whether you're married to interracial wife or not. The most important thing in a relationship is to be married to someone you love and who loves you in return. What is generally called 50-50 love.

When you love your wife and she loves you in return . . . 50/50 . . . you can deal successfully with any challenges that come against your relationship.

First, fall in love. Thereafter, get married. Love will take care of the rest.

Having said that, I must also say this. And please, listen good.

When you decide to marry a woman from a different race . . . an interracial wife . . . be sure you're ready and prepared for what's coming. Be ready to deal with the special 'trouble' or challenges associated with interracial marriage.

Be ready to . . .

That is the challenge of interracial marriage.

Is interracial marriage or interracial wife worth all the trouble?

If you love her, yes.

You can succeed.

If you love her . . . if you really, really love her . . . nothing should stop you from going ahead with the relationship.

But remember . . . love comes with responsibilities. Be prepared to shoulder them.
