HOW DOES EVERYONE FEEL ABOUT BEING MARRIED TO A HEARING PERSON?
What I am wondering about is why this is considered a mixed marriage? Yes I understand that one person is deaf and the other is hearing. But aren't we all just people?

Methodists and Catholics used to be mixed marriage.
White and black.
Differences are what makes mixed marriage. So even though we are all people, there are differences.
How you cope is what is important.
Some people are good at adapting to things like one partner having hearing loss. Others aren't. It's about the people, not the hearing status or whatever other status.
Well since I my father is legally blind I do not see being deaf as 'different'.
Communication is always the key between 2 people. I'm late-deafened, and was so confused as to "which way to go".....so I dated both hearing and deaf, but married hearing and then divorced. Total communication was a failure between us! As for deafies, my ASL was not fluent, so communication was a problem also.....I wonder about other "late-deafened" people?

Good. Now let's see if we can convince the rest of the world to see it the way you do.
