Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Our American social system values similarity, such as education level, race, religion, socioeconomic status, etc. This leads to homogamy, where people tend to marry someone similar to themselves. While there is increasing acceptance and legal recognition of exogamous marriages (marriages between people of different races, ethnicities, religions, etc.), they are still not as common as homogamous marriages. As for arranged marriages, they are not a common practice in American culture. In general, Americans are free to love and marry whoever they choose, but our social system still impacts the types of partners we are likely to choose.
