Quote From: memma1I am a very white american and my husband is a very Arab Lebanese man. People have told me so many horror stories about arabs, but my husband has more character and more respect for me than anyone I have ever met in my life. He has a strong culture and we struggle over cultural issues, but we are SO happily married and I can't wait to have children with him and teach them about both our cultures. We need to really get over our predisposed ideas of people based on their colors and enjoy other people! Different backgrounds just enrich the relationship SO much!
I agree that different backgrounds can enrich a relationship. Glad to hear you and your hubby have a very happy marriage. I only want to caution you about one thing - be very very sure you and your hubby have absolutely agreed on how you are going to raise your children before you have them. You say y'all sometimes struggle over cultural issues, and those struggles need to be resolved before you bring children into the marriage. If you haven't agreed ahead of time about what kind of religious upbringing the children will have, schools they will attend etc - it could cause major strife in your marriage. That would be bad for y'all, but especially for the kids.
Best wishes to both of you! :) Roxy
