Well, most of the interracial marriages that I referred to in my post are long lasting and the people seem reasonably happy.

Speak for yourself, Martin. I don't think these conversations are a waste of time.

People can learn about other cultures through threads like this, and I certainly believe that is worthwhile. Through such threads, people involved in interracial/cross-cultural relationships can also discover that they aren't the 'only ones' at Mudcat who are involved in such relationships...


And, at the very least, people in romantic relationships-interracial,
cross-cultural; or othewise, can learn what others think help make a relationship successful.
