Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

Actually that is not true at all. Most (if not all) of my relatives, family, etc. married and started family at a young age. They were not in the condition you describe and actually became rather successful with great families.

Success is a relative term. It's not a good idea to rush into starting a family. Not all marriages work out and relationships more often than not turn sour after only a few years.

Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

I wasn't planning to have kids already. It's just that she is a young woman I can see to be the mother of my children. It is more that I'm worried that my family wil not accept her. Eventhough she is a wonderful woman, who is willing to do everything the armenian way.

Are you willing to do some things her way? Or are you asking her to convert? If you want her to do EVERYTHING the Armenian way, you are not being fair to her and you should just look for an Armenian woman. But if you are willing to compromise, acknowledge her ways and also change yourself to fit her needs too, then you'll have a good marriage and it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

From what you are saying, it sounds like you want an Armenian wife though

Typical Muslims. With arranged marriages and all, I bet. And 12-year old brides. Or maybe Mos is a fundamentalist Yezidi. http://www.eurasianet.org/node/65942

Muslims? Only Muslims marry early? No one here is talking about 12-year old brides, we're not Saudis. We're talking about your early 20s which is a very acceptable marrying age.

Well ideally, at 22 you finish your studies and go on to a job. Of course the best time to marry and have family is once you finish your studies and have a stable job.

Or pick up a trade as electricians and plumbers and such are always in demand; some universities are just degree factories i.e. they produce degrees that employers don't want or care about.

First I thought I would get an armenian wife, but then I met my current girlfriend. She rocked my world. It was the first time I've met somebody with who I see a futher. I just want my kids to be raised as armenians. This doesn't mean I would trade her for an armenian girl.

Awww! He's in LOOOOVE! <3

Don't ask her to raise her children as Armenians to the exclusion of her ethnicity. She may agree because she loves you and thinks it's a choice she might be comfortable with, but in the end, she might not be. Don't create this potential cause for resentment.

Listen to Sip; he's right on this one. If you can do this, you are much more likely to be able to make it work.

Where is she from? Mexico? The Latinas I've noticed are much more warm blooded, family oriented, and religious than Americans/Europeans.

She's from Surinam.
