5. I'm a Caucasian-American man married to a Chinese national

The issue or race or ethnicity has never affected anything about our relationship. We may have some cultural differences due to the different backgrounds we come from, but we expected that all along. I don't feel race should ever be a factor in a relationship. The larger question is about intercultural relationships. I've always thought that love transcends everything, so you can love someone who has nothing culturally in common with you. What's important is how you deal with that and accept the other person in the relationship.
