Various religions have many things in common. One of the most common things is the tradition of marrying a person with the same religion.There are a lot of traditional families living in America trying to raise their children in old fashioned ways, some succeed and some don't. Cultural integration is a permanent surrounding no matter how the parents may try to seclude the children. While this isn't wrong, is it right to discourage marriage with someone who's of a different religion, and ethnicity?

Of course there are negatives to marrying someone of a different religion, there's the question of what religion the children will be taught. There are also different holidays, lots of arguments can be based on religion or can end in religion as a scapegoat to a couple's problems. Does true love overpower these negatives? Will this love last throughout the future or does love "go away with time", like the cranky married couples say? If it does go away the parents will have a resentful relationship with their children for the rest of their lives. There are so many questions to be asked in this case, it's impossible and frightening for the son or daughter to make a choice knowing they're devastating their family. The person can marry someone who their parents consent of but what if they're not happy and end up cheating with the one they love? Is that worth it or fair to their husband/wife?

Answer realistically, if it was you would you... ?
A. Marry the one you love even if your parents will disown you, or worse.
B. Marry the one your parents approve of and try to forget about the one you love.
or
C. Marry the one your parents approve of but due to incapability of letting go, cheat with the one you love.

  1. I don't think my parents would not approve of someone different. There's already much interracial blood in my family. Even with religion, they still wouldn't mind that much. In today's society, in America, cultures often mix with others. There's many cases where parents don't approve of interracial marriages. But if they came to America, they should know that eventually it's going to happen. Old culture dies hard, but new culture prospers faster.
