As a parent I want to tell other parents you can only live one life and that is yours. You can only raise a child once and when they become adults their life belong to them and the good Lord. You cannot choose who your children love. It’s being narcissistic. You chose your soul love and they are entitled to choose theirs. Love is color, religious, and traditions blind. *I taught my children to love from the inside out not the outside in.* I love my blended family, the good , bad, and the challenges that life brings. Life is short and then you die. Don’t use false control over adult children. If you do you would drive them away and miss the best part of the rest of your life with family. *God help us all to love beyond the outward flesh, Amen.*

That amounts to blatant hate. Love and death is color blind and can careless about traditions of men. When death comes for you your high mindedness doesn’t matter if its your time.

While I dont disagree with you , in Asian society marrying someone who fits into the family is of paramount importance. I know some who didnt , they became isolated from family and in the long run were resentful that their spouse always stuck out like a sore thumb. In some cases the spouse would challenge and disagree with some norms that some one of their own race would accept. This often led to breakdowns in marriages.

I think as long as the husband loves , cares his foreign wife . Don't worry about the parents emotion, slowly by slowly they will understand what count first is the happiness of their son and his family.

[@coffeepandacat]

In asia, some cultures tend to be very conservative and have high expectations. Korea is like this. It's not that they don't see value as a human as a foreigner, it's just they are used to and expect their children to marry Koreans. It's very hard to impress asian in-laws as a foreigner. Also multicultural relationships tend to be very challenging and asian parents know about this. Anyone can fall in love, but cultural barriers are more difficult to overcome than a lot realize. However this is different for places like the Philippines where it may be more like Brazil and more welcoming.
