It's not about the race

I agree, i just made this thread b/c people are always saying how we should stick within our people.

After consideration I don't think i could marry a religious person.

Ditto... maybe an apathetic christian but that's about it

How strange.

My girlfriend and I went to the market today and there was this very annoying cashier working there. He kept blabbing his mouth to customers and they all kept nodding alone.

As soon as it was my turn, he brought up a Disney film and asked if I had seen it. I swear, it had nothing to do with anything... so I kept nodding and kept wondering how long I could keep that stupid smile on my face like Woody Allen does in Annie Hall.

After I picked up the last grocery bag, he suddenly switches gears and asks, "Is that your wife?"

This was more strange in real life... whereas on this forum it sounds lame but this has to do with marriage and I replied in a marriage thread the same day this happened.

Good for you! And I am with you!

There's an old but thruthful Armenian saying that goes... "Odar axchige Hay deghamartoun hars chellar".

Few Armenian marriages may go wrong; but look around you Armenian fellas and ask around that how many more odar women married Armenian guys and they have become either a total burden to their husbands or they have become promiscuous with or without after having children.

Re: If you couldn't marry an Armenian.....

If you could not marry an Armenian, what race/nationality/ethnicity/etc would you marry from? I'd probably go white N.American/W. European, Indian, or S. American

If you are going to start this debate with this defeatist proposition, you are simply readying yourself psychologically to marry an non-Armenian... The point is, you try your best to marry an Armenian without thinking about - what nationality would I chose if I can't find a compatible Armenian to marry.... Once you begin going your route, you are more than half way there in marrying a non-Armenian. Having said that, in final analysis, it does not matter what nationality one marries, it matters how your children will be raised. If a German wife/husband can help an Armenian husband/wife raise a decent child with an 'Armenian' identity, then there is nothing wrong with marrying a German - or any other compatible (white/European/Christian) nationality. To be on the safe side, however, marry an Armenian - that's the best bet anyone can have in creating a new generation of Armenians.

Wow, I was waiting for someone to say that. Armenians must marry other Armenians.

Re: If you couldn't marry an Armenian.....

Good point Armenian. I agree, if worse comes to worse as long as the child is raised armenian.

What would you do in my situation?
I dont know any armenians girls. I had one once and I didn't treat her as Armenian princess should be treated. What can I say I took for granted having an her by my side and now because I was brought up in public school and not really active in my church Its very difficult for me to meet another. I go to functions and stuff but mostly stick with my family and unless I go out with my cousins I don't really have any chance of meeting an armenian girl. My brother and sister both married Odars.

I refuse to help the turks finish what they started.
Maybe I just wont get married then, and adopt an armenian child when im older.

I dont know.
