Not at all. We have a pre-nup agreement, separate bank accounts and split all expenses 50/50. My surviving children are listed as beneficiaries on my investments. I can also say of my three marriages this is by far the best.

A 2008 study by Jenifer L. Bratter and Rosalind B. King conducted on behalf of the Education Resources Information Center examined whether crossing racial boundaries increased the risk of divorce.[9] Using the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (Cycle VI), the likelihood of divorce for interracial couples to that of same-race couples was compared. Comparisons across marriage cohorts revealed that, overall, interracial couples have higher rates of divorce, particularly for those that married during the late 1980s.[9] The authors found that gender plays a significant role in interracial divorce dynamics: According to the adjusted models predicting divorce as of the 10th year of marriage, interracial marriages that are the most vulnerable involve White females and non-White males relative to White/White couples.[9] White wife/Black husband marriages are twice as likely to divorce by the 10th year of marriage compared to White/White couples, while White wife/Asian husband marriages are 59% more likely to end in divorce compared to White/White unions.[9] Conversely, White men/non-White women couples show either very little or no differences in divorce rates.[9] Asian wife/White husband marriages show only 4% greater likelihood of divorce by the 10th year of marriage than White/White couples.[9] In the case of Black wife/White husband marriages, divorce by the 10th year of marriage is 44% less likely than among White/White unions.[9] Intermarriages that did not cross a racial barrier, which was the case for White/Hispanic White couples, showed statistically similar likelihoods of divorcing as White/White marriages.[9]

That is interesting. I wonder if such couples tend to be older, better educated people marrying as much for companionship as for lust.

I heard somewhere that the bw in these relationships do tend to be more educated. but people who marry in general tend to have more education than just a hs diploma. I wouldn't suggest that others marry for lust, though, but there is a reason why so many marriages involving bm fall apart. not sure what it is.

an older relative of mine has been married to her white husband for nearly 30 years. he's a fat, lazy bum, but they've been married for nearly 30 years.

Right. And your wife is a self sufficient professional 29 yearsold that has a masters degree and just prefers to have sex with a man 30 years older than she is.

They probably would marry anyone they would like but not on a mail order bride situation.
