[quote=Anonymous]I'm in an interracial, international marriage.  We were also raised different religione (him strict Catholic, me not very religious but nominally Protestant).  We are also very different in class background.  He grew up very poor in a big family in a tiny Village in his country and I grew up upper middle class in NYC.

We're really happy after 10 years and 2 kids.  Things which help are:

We're both now atheists so religion is not an issue
We live in a third country/culture where we're both foreign
We love trying new foods and enjoy travelling to each others countries.  He celebrates Thanksgiving with me and my American friends and we celebrate holidays from his country too.
We have a very similar world view
We enjoy doing the same things more or less 
We really love eachother and respect eachother

Negatives are that sometimes our communication styles are different and also we disagree on some parenting things like strict ness.

I would advice you to discuss things like expectations re raising kids.  For example, would you like to stay home?  Or him?  How strict do you want to be and do you want them to go to church or synagogue?[/quote]
