Dealing with Interracial Relationships (Curated --Make-Up)


Interracial relationships and marriages are a wonderful experience for anyone, who is compatible with someone of another ethnicity. It reflects how society has evolved to not only accept interracial relationships and marriages, but also accept interracial relationships and marriages as the norm. In other words, interracial couples happen more frequently in spite of the ethnical and cultural differences. However, as much as interracial relationships and marriages can be worthwhile, they can also present some challenges. It is how people handle those challenges that will either make or break those relationships.
           There are many challenges that arise from interracial relationships and marriages, which most people know about, and some that many have not ever really considered.  In terms of interracial relationships, Blake Campbell lists some of the problems, as well as some of the solutions of those problems in interracial relationships. Some of the issues in the article deal with embracing others' cultures, family acceptance, respect for each other, handling racism, and raising mixed race children.  Campbell wants people to know that although interracial relationships can be challenging, they can work well, if people overcome those challenges.
          Furthermore, interracial marriages can be just as challenging, if not more challenging than interracial relationships. Jennica Gray states that interracial marriages can have problems ranging from gender roles, family dynamics, to even eating habits. She states that couples can have challenges of how they view things because of the different cultural backgrounds. Couples can compromise on any given issue to make their relationships successful.
