[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a black woman married to a white man. All of the other black women I know in this situation are highly educated. Education strongly correlates with longevity in marriage. The race mix may simply be a proxy for socioeconomic status.[/quote] I posted earlier. I could see that. We've both got masters' degrees.[/quote] NP. Black and Asian woman married to white man for 14 years. We both have Masters degrees, also. But, to echo PPs, we have worked on our communication since before we married, even going to a couples therapist to work on our communication skills. And we have had ongoing discussions about race and privilege since we dated. That has helped with issues that have come up. Maybe IR couples have to work harder on communication and empathy despite differences, and that helps the marriages over all? But still don't know why BW and WM in particular (but I'll take it).[/quote]
