Life2007: I am engaged to an "odar" & its great. Just because your Armenian it doesnt mean that you have to marry another one & who said Armenian boys/girls are the best anyway.

Mrleftyhye, you may not be assimilated but your mentality has been.
It’s not a question of being old-fashioned or fashionable. Once you choose to marry a non-Armenian, in case you do feel Armenian and discuss issues related to that regularly, you’ll have to put aside some of your “part”(maybe your soul). Not to mention the difficulties with raising children.

I'm not married but she's half swedish/norwegian and half Italian. I'm not going to have any kids so that pretty much makes the "marry an Armenian" bull irrelevant to me

My wife is half Japanese/half "white" american. My decision to marry a non Armenian was not an issue for me. I married the person I wanted to be with. Romance and "love" may be overrated at times but you have to look down the years and have some expectation that there is enough respect, trust, and friendship to sustain the relationship. I have seen far too many Armenians here in the US get married to other Armenians for the sake of marrying Armenians only to get divorced before the 5 yr mark.

I don't believe that just because you happen to be Armenian that you need to live your whole life searching for that one Armenian person to spend your life with.I mean time and time again I hear of stories where people go overseas and bring back a good Armenian girl from either Lebanon or countries alike just so that they can keep the tradition.

I think it's more about love , connection, and conversation you have with the actual person rather than what language comes out of their mouth or what their parents cook at home.If I marry an "odar" I want (and will make sure) my children understand and learn about the diverse backgrounds their parents are from and give them an opportunity to learn both languages.

Exactly Life. Example (lets say 2 girls like me) lets just say. Ones Armenian other ones French. The Armenian treats me with disrespect & the whole 9 yards... Im still supposed to marry her because shes Armenian?

Cousin of mine married to Hispanic...never thought it would happen...

As for me, I really would not want to do it, but life is full of suprizes...and being Armenian, means to be everywhere in the world but in Armenia. Even if i do marry an Armenian and i stay here, i can't say anything to my children who decide to marry someone other then Armenian. But I'm gonna fight as much as possible to keep the tradition

So when you marry out of your race and then you have children who marry out of their race and so on and so on....then what?
