Common sense

Otherwise, it was useless to comment on the fact that mixed marriages don't always end badly... When I read all those posts about people who failed their marriage because their partner was muslim and/or from another continent...Let's agree to disagree.

Nevertheless, I do agree with you. Inasmuch as deceit is universal, it is important to point out that it doesn't always happen.

Indeed, agreeing in letters or on the phone is just as easy as breathing. Meeting is compulsory to assess the possibility of a future with another person and not in two weeks... People should be cautious without doubting all the people around them...And failed marriages because of miscommunication or misunderstandings are really frequent, even between people from the same origin.

At one point, it's about taking a risk or not...
