Reply #49: The respective families of the couple perhaps. [View All]

[no_hypocrisy]

If members of the family of the couple are antideluvian and have a real problem with interracial dating/marriage, those individuals will make the lives of the couple miserable. Even when there is no issue of interracial pairing, families conspire how to break up "undesirable" partners of their children.

The couple can face being ostracized if not outright disenfrancised from their families.

Also the couple may face the prospect of their children being refused recognition as family. That can be painful.

If the couple can overcome that real challenge to their relationship or if they can prevail despite it, then they should go for it. Love doesn't necessarily conquer all, but it has to be there and strong in order to get by the rough times.
