Interracial Relationships

In this week's episode of Three Minutes with Stuart, the topic is Interracial Relationships. Stuart talks about race and how we've come a long way as a country, but still there is a long way to go.

Interracial couples face the same challenges that other couples face while they attempt to build a life together, but in addition to the day to to day issues that the average couple faces, and interracial relationship may have additional outside stressors antagonizing the relationship. These outside stressors could be family members that reject the idea of race mixing, friends or even complete strangers.

It's so important that people in an interracial relationship know and understand that love is love. It has no color. We love who we love. In saying that, the reality is, if you are in an interracial relationship you shouldn't be surprised or caught off guard or hurt if your relationship is not accepted by all.

You may run into people who stare at you, or even mumble and say things. That doesn't make it okay, but be prepared. As long as you and your partner work on strengthening the foundation of your relationship, your friendship and love for one another you can have a long lasting thriving relationship.
