There's a couple of specific verses in the Bible, that deal with who not to marry.
Never marry a saved person to an unsaved person, but, if one gets saved after the marriage, then we're supposed to stay married to the same person, even if they remain lost.
(look for unequally yoked)
Different ethnicities, different customs,none have any bearing on getting married.
The only thing is for a believer to marry another believer. That's it, as far as I know.
Also, in the Old Testament, God was angered when the Hebrews married OUTSIDE of their religion.
Christians marry Christians, no matter how cute the other one looks and acts, to marry on purpose, a lost person, a non_Christian, is sin.

Thank you for your post, sister. I agree that 2 Corinthians 6:14 tells believers NOT to be unequally yoked with UNbelievers. True!

Jassy,

You said:

please notice that NOWHERE has Paul commanded the wife to LOVE her husband. I find that very interesting.

I find it interesting that while, no...Paul didn't actually command that the wife love her husband, he commanded the older women to teach the younger women to love their husbands...that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Titus 2:3-5 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

And what is your point exactly?
