| Sorry to hear that, Neontrance. I think a lot of people do not realise how wide the cultural/racial gap is until they live together. Of course, there are some success stories but I believe it takes a great deal of tolerance and making a real attempt to understand the other party - basically mixed couples need to make extra effort. Are you prepared for that ? |

| I think that marrage is about sharing the good times and the hard times. Nothing more, nothing less. Some leave when the going gets too hard. There is more divorce across the board in China than ever before. Perhaps peoples expectation are a little unreal now and devorce is too easy. Dodger. |

| Some of them did not think marriage seriously before they got married. They have not prepared for marriage. After marriage, they find that it is not what they expected. |

| Mixed marrige needs the couples' extra efforts to bridge the huge cultural differences. |
