Candace Owens and husband.

Many, many FReepers are in what democrats defined and outlawed as "mixed marriage" in our lifetime.

Intermarriage has been "a thing" forever. Not all whites are racists. Not all blacks are this woman. Not all Latinos are like Jorge Ramos.

My wife is as different from me as you can get, from gene pools that evolved on opposite sides of the planet.

We make it work because our common culture is Christianity. The concrete that seals the bond is conservative values.

Our marriage is 3 ways, God, her and I.

Of course every relationship is a psychotic leftist will end in disaster. When is that NOT a thing?

The article really should be: NEVER MARRY A LEFTIST:

Did they serve watermelon and KFC at the reception?

Candace Owen’s husband is a lucky man.

Definitely. THAT is the thing.

I also agree. When I was young and idealistic, I was still a raging Fascist (after all, I supported Reagan), and I actually believed that I could spend my life with a Leftist wife. Thankfully, I ended up marrying someone from halfway around the world that was even more conservative than me...and so our ‘worst’ political arguments are me saying something like “that might be a bit too much”.

And beyond politics, I think conservative wives (or husbands) are much better able to handle money and not widely spend, at least based on what I’ve seen.

I am in an interracial marriage and what makes it (and, I believe, any relationship) work is the Christ-likeness we try to demonstrate toward each other and all we meet. Being other-minded affects communication, attitude, how one handles adversity, etc. Christ is the ultimate example of this. The factor present in most failed/failing relationships stems from an attitude that leans toward self. Whether one is Black, Brown, Yellow,Red, or White, for a marriage relationship to succeed, there needs to be a commitment to the relationship itself and that involves a strong willingness to be concerned about “the other” in that relationship.

Race introduces many challenges in an interracial marriage not present in single-race relationships, but the fix for those issues remains the same: other-mindedness. This is not naïveté, this is what I know to be true having learned this through coming up on 27 years of marriage.
