Miraculously Mixed Marriages

Any relationship has its ups and downs. Starting a mixed Relationship may be a new journey completely, although no two beings are completely alike and come from two completely different back grounds and upbringing doesn't necessarily mean its a mixed marriage. 

Well then what the heck is a Mixed marriage? the word mixed means put together or composed of different elements.

A mixed marriage is one where two different backgrounds, religions, culture upbringings come together and form a union.

Examples of non mixed marriages. Two American Christians who are engaged to marry are not considered a mixed marriage , although the two may have been raised in opposite parts of the us and have different life experiences, they share more than 2 common characteristics in moral and religious values.

Another example is Two Hispanic immigrants marry in the us, One being Catholic and the other Christian, although not from the same country both share common life experiences and moral values. 

All marriages have a sense of mixture, since we have different life experiences, and family values,  and may be able to relate in some form to this topic.

Miraculously Mixed Marriages, is a current study im researching for my graduate project. I believe their are certain obstacles that contribute to marriages that common marriages do not experience. For Example I am American Born and raised, although i have Hispanic parents, My parents  migrated here many years ago.My mother being a devote Colombian and father being a devote Puerto Rican have raised me and influenced me in many of their cultural characteristics. I have learned to speak Spanish, and how to cook and eat many Hispanic dishes. Yet I'am an American most of my traits and life experiences lean me to say im an american, who has Hispanic parents, doesn't mean i deny any of my roots because i love that i can pass on what my parents have incorporated in and what i have learned into my children. 
Most of my life i have had a cultural identity issue not really knowing what i was, and being stuck with a label as a Spanish kid in high school, but when i got around the Spanish kids, i knew i really was not a "Spanish Kid.?!?" When i met my husband i came to the terms that im a simple GRINGA! yes i said it a GRINGA! Im an american girl who just happens to know Spanish, but why you may ask i use this horrible title?   

Here is why, My husband a 27 year old pure blood,born and raised Honduran man who migrated to the USA in his teens, is what i like to call that real type of Spanish Kid. Coming to america he experienced, moments and memories i  cannot relate with, having always lived in my native country next to family. He adjusted to a whole new system and language, of living unlike me, he was forced to learn English like many others as a means of survival, when i only learned Spanish so i wouldn't be made fun of on family vacations. His childhood friends live in an opposite world, and go threw situations i cannot even imagine. I have always had the privilege of living in a country where freedom and opportunity is a right, and he came here to have that right despite leaving his loved ones behind. Most of his family and friends here also share similar stories and backgrounds. Mine do not, although i'am well aware of these things in my society the truth is i just simply cannot relate, these striving for success quality compels and attracts me to him  but also makes me realize how different we are, and how much we still are learning about each other and our cultures.

Miraculously Mixed Marriages is a topic i will randomly be updating and sharing more personal research and new findings i have encountered.  I believe their are many newlywed like me that experience this adjustment phase and can share or comment on this topic.

Every Marriage is Unique and that what makes the journey worthwhile.
