Dating a non-Latino From: contracostatimes.com

Catherine: The more similar your background, the easier the relationship. Easy is great, but it doesn’t always mean better. My Colombian mother married my American father. Thirty-three years later, my father still loves the Latin flair my mother brings to our household. My mother loves his stable personality. Their differences have caused plenty of headaches and fights, but they also bring a richness that I appreciate.
I encourage couples to be honest about differences. Latin families like to stick together. Can your non-Latino love celebrate having parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and neighbors involved in daily life? Cultural differences can cause problems because there is no easy way around them.”*
