It's something on my mind lately & would like to hear some perspective on this matter. What are your thoughts or experience has been in inter-cultural/faith marriage? When I think about it I feel it's great until children come in the picture & then differences kicks in such as which religion/culture do you want to raise the children’s, language, rituals etc. Especially kids will never be able to build a connection with their Nepali grandparents due to language barrier. In case of marrying a white, her parents will be able to communicate with kids, they will go to their "mamaghar" more, play with their cousins etc and naturally will develop lot deeper emotional connection with everyone from Mothers side and Nepali extended family will be like strangers to them. Also, since they will grow up in US, 99.9% they will marry someone from here & basically our whole Nepali generation/culture ends here as they will always feel more American and only speak English. I know there is no guarantee in life, we all are humans & even with Nepali wife things can go south but at the same time it's a long life so I feel it’s something to think about.
For people who have been married to foreign spouse doesn't these things worry you especially your parents will not able to communicate with your wife or kids(assuming most Nepali parents don't speak English) & whole idea of passing down your culture/beliefs to offspring’s ends & for guys only last name will carry on but without any connection towards Nepali culture.
Am I overthinking this whole situation? It's just a genuine question that I am struggling with to come to terms with.
