Interracial marriages have been around for a long time. As in the old days, so now, to marry a foreigner is prestigious. It is obvious that every year the number of such marriages is steadily growing. This may be due to the increase in visitors, and with a decrease in criticism of society, etc.
According to the statistics, Russian women are much more likely to enter into interethnic unions than Russian men.
As with any issue, there are both opponents and supporters of the idea in the issue of mixed marriages. So, let's look at the positive and negative aspects of such unions and understand the indignation of critics and the approval of supporters.
A plus is the development of tolerance in society, the ability to treat such marriages with understanding, the ability to learn and understand a foreign culture. Also, such alliances can help improve relations between countries.
Social surveys have shown that a third of respondents consider interracial marriages a waste of time. And also that they are less durable compared to mononational ones. The fifth part is sure that inter-ethnic marriages are no different from mono-ethnic ones. What is it, so to speak, the usual average union. And the restbelieve that mixed marriages are even better than "ordinary" ones and have a stronger bond.
But many psychologists are sure that it does not matter what nationality the spouse is, the main thing is that peace, harmony, mutual understanding and love reign in their family. Marriage is about relationships, not skin color.
Critics find the following shortcomings in inter-ethnic unions.
Firstly, spouses have different cultures. This can greatly hinder understanding. It can also be difficult to establish a uniform order in the family. Ceremonies, rituals, customs, fasts - all this can interfere with family life. In addition to the fact that the spouses grew up in different families, they also grew up with different customs, which must be taken into account when raising children.
Secondly, interracial marriages are often reviled by others. Often, in anticipation of the support of loved ones, you can get condemned.
Thirdly, there are nations (for example, Armenians, Georgians), in whose families a sense of pride in the nation is instilled from early childhood, and that the sacred union should be exclusively mono-national. This helps to preserve the foundations and traditions of the people, which they greatly appreciate. In this case, either the partner will suffer, who will have to accept all these foundations, or the “keeper” of the nation, who will be condemned by his people.
Fourthly, spouses will have a hard time if they previously lived in different countries. One of them will need to fully “get used” to the new mentality and to the life of another country as a whole. For loving heartsmay seem like trifles, but you need to think about such things in advance so that you don’t make a stupid step behind the veil of love.
And the last, but very important disadvantage is the upbringing of children. To make a decision about the birth of a child, you need to be 100% confident in your partner. If such a marriage falls apart, then the spouse who is in a foreign country is more likely to lose custody of the child.
Interracial marriages are often a big risk that not everyone is able to take. But those who consciously decide on such an alliance will live, as they say, happily ever after.
