[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to say that this is part of why there is so much divorce. It is one thing to say you will only marry people who share values with you-- that is a good thing. It is another thing to say that you will only marry a person of a certain race or that a person of another race cannot share your background or values. I know a woman who is ethnically Korean and raised by an American Italian family from childhood. I know black kids raised in white suburbia. I know Indian, Korean, Lebanese, Brazilian, Mexican, Syrian and Colombians who share many of the same values and even religion even though their food and language may be different. As far as attraction - I wouldn't marry someone I'm not attracted to but a good connection makes a person grow in attraction for me and most women. (There are studies about this.)

I also think that sharing a specific religion is less important if you don't plan on having kids or are marrying for a second time, with grown kids. Many people are willing to live with someone and respect their religion and their practice of religion but when it comes to kids, they want to raise kids in their own religion.

I like to fill my life with good people and I've found good people of all different backgrounds. Dismissing people outright because of race is just making your world smaller. [/quote]
