    When he said "I don't think the opposite of racism is to be color blind. I think it should be appreciating the differences and enjoy people of diverse backgrounds!" I was like "YES!!!" 😍❤

      As a Nigerian, and a Yoruba person, I can honestly say our need to keep "our breed" pure is not motivated by "racism" or "tribalism".
      - sometimes, folks just prefer the familiar.
      - on my way to America years ago, my mother warned me not to marry an American (of any color).
      - my parents preferred someone from same culture, much easier to perpetuate the legacy.
      - so, folks, peoples' reservations about interracial marriages is not always racist or tribalistic.

    I've noticed a calm, loving acceptance of respect between this white man with his black wife - and this seems to be the aura of a happy interracial married couple.

      They cross not only racial barriers - but cultural as well. Their video is quite encouraging to other discouraged interracial couples. THERE IS NO MINISTRY TO INTERRACIAL COUPLES. Is the Church racist ? lol

    My family is Christian and I have multiracial family members(Mexican,White(aunts married uncles), Puerto Rican, Russian.) My parents were the first African American couple to adopt a girl from China(now 10 yrs old), though it was on newspaper in TN, in China it was praised. I think its ok for those of different races to marry. My gf is Japanese/White(also Christian) but most people think shes just Japanese.

    This is very helpful! Love has no color! There are many nationalities, but only one race…the human race. I love how God works! Only He can make differences compliment each person! I love that the only thing you had in common was you values, morals, faith! Just speaks volumes as to the importance of God in our relationships! I imagine it was difficult to have mom & dad not accepting of the person God has predestined for us to love. I'd think I'd be torn, but you two have chosen each other & like the Bible says, when you marry you leave your mother & father & cleave to your spouse! I love it! Great couple, beautiful family! Oh, I think that advice to do your homework & go into it with your eyes wide open is a great idea. I bid you all God speed! Stay blessed! This is very encouraging! I am glad to be in Christ, because that makes life easier for me & helps me love everyone! :-)

We didn't marry to make a statement, but we realized that in getting married were making a statement.
