    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!!!" 😍❤

    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! :-)

I married my wife because of her character, personality and of course physical attraction is there as well. I married a person not a color. We didn't marry to make a statement, but we realized that in getting married were making a statement.

    I think the non-acceptance on her family's side might stem from a possible overlooking of tradition. The Yoruba and Igbo of Nigeria (as well as most Africans) go through important traditions such as knocking on the door and dowry. In the West this is seen as backwards however these measures are considered very important in African culture/society and my advise to anyone wishing to marry an African lady is do your homework and don't skip any tradition. Do everything and her side will bless you.
