Re: How Important Is It to Marry . . .
Well since you asked for my opinion.... :)
All marriages are hard work, but inter-faith/caste/race/culture/class take all the more effort. And I believe that they do work out. All depends on the people involved.
So my conclusion is its not so much as problems arising from inter-faith/race etc marriages. I believe its more problems from inter-personality relationships. If you are in synch with each other ... even if you are different backgrounds and have different likes and dislikes... you can make anything work. If you respect each other individuality you got a great thing going.
My two cents from my experince of different background relationship.
