MY HUSBAND AND I ARE AN INTERAICIAL COUPLE (OVER 38) AND WHEN WE MET VIA
(A CHAT ROOM) WE DID NOT KNOW AND THE SUBJECT DID NOT COME UP ARE YOU
WHITE/BLACK OR WHATEVER - FROM OUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS WE DID NOT KNOW -
BEFORE WE MET IN PERSON, MY NOW SPOUSE SAID (UNDER PRESSURE FROM "FRIENDS",
BUT WONDERING IF ITWOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE)I MUST TELL YOU SOMETHING. BUT
BECAUSE OF "OUR SOCIETY" HE COULD NOT TELL ME - HE ASKED ME TO READ IN THE
BIBLE UNDER KING SOLOMAN - IREAD KING SOLOMAN "I AM A BLACK MAN" SO WHAT -
IS THAT ALL? IT DID NOT MATTER - WE BOTH WERE IN LOVE . WE ARE IN OUR
THIRD YEAR TOGETHER -SOME PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH COUPLES SUCH AS US
BUT IT IS JUST THAT - ""THEIRPROBLEM"" SOME PEOPLE FORGET THE "PURSUIT OF
HAPPINESS" IS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL. MY PEOPLE / OUR PEOPLE THE SECRET OF
CONTENTMENT IS THE REALIZATION THAT "LIFE" IS A GIFT NOT A RIGHT"IT IS
GREAT FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE A PLACE TO SPEAK OUT - CONGRATS AND GOODLUCK -
