[quote=Anonymous]I am Asian, raised Protestant.  My DH is white European and an atheist.  Neither of our parents have any friends of any other race, and neither of our siblings are married to outside their respective races.

We have zero racial issues, but we are both very open to other cultures and other foods (very important to both of us). I think this is key.

He is respectful of my religion. I take our kids to church; he doesn't go, but he doesn't push the children either way.  He tells them they need to decide for themselves, but he is supportive of me taking our kids to church and sees some benefit in it.  I do wish he would go to church with us, but I am not hung up on it.

The bigger challenge, to me, is being on the same page about how to raise our kids in terms of strictness and such.  But, so far, after 10+ yrs of marriage, it's been fine.  It helps that both inlaws are thousands of miles away, so we don't get too much interference.  I guess that can be a negative, too, though because our kids aren't close to their grandparents.  I also like how our kids have exposure to different cultures, and we travel to DH's home country to visit, so the kids have that extra exposure.
