me, i am married and yes he's the same race.
but initially i couldnt care wot race the man i'd marry would be, although my parents had it imprinted in my head that the man i would marry would have to have the same values, respect and views on things as us. but in the end everyone is the same just different eyes, hair, skin. everything we tend to look for is the same, but appearance just tends to get in the way.
for me, it was arranged, i met him, at first i was hesitant then i got to know him and we ended up getting married.
