Kb613, I’m glad it went so well. BTW I know several mixed couples (and one completely Sephardic on both sides) where the kids have blue eyes, so there must be some shared genes. It’s more common among Egyptian Sephardim, though.
Here are some questions that you can discuss on a date that will help you understand the cultural differences:
(honestly, these are important to discuss no matter who you date.)
1. Do you share responsibility for household chores, or are they primarily that of the wife?
2. What is his opinion of corporal punishment, for kids.
3. Is he going to be the breadwinner? If you both work, are you both going to be equal partners? Is he okay with you having a separate bank account, if you wanted one? Does he think women should know what is going on with the finances?
4. If you have career goals, does he think they should be encouraged, or is he just okay with it? And are you okay with that.
Hatzlacha!
