Interracial marriage is the term used to describe marriages that take place between people who are from different racial or ethnic groups. Intercultural marriages are defined as marriages between people who come from two different cultural backgrounds. A marriage between a woman from China, whose culture emphasizes the needs of the family over the needs of the individual, and a man from the United States, whose culture emphasizes individual autonomy, would be an example of a intercultural marriage. Whereas relationships between people from different ethnic and cultural groups are becoming increasingly common, there are substantial increases in the number of individuals engaging in interracial or intercultural marriages. However, even though the number and societal acceptance of interracial marriages is growing, little has been written about these marriages, the reasons for their increase, or their strengths and liabilities.

I have been married to a Korean lady for 30 years and we have a son who is now 27. There have been major ups and downs not not unlike those that I witness between my mother and father(both black)when I was a child. As a matter of fact our agreement and disagreement apear to have come from the same book like a pre-written text. I have come to understand that race played a lesser role in our marriage than personality’s compatibility
