today I conducted an interview discussing the ideas of how relationships fit the pattern of homogamy and the question that was asked was "In your experiences with relationships do you see a pattern of homogamy which is dating someone of the similar education race and social class and how why do we tend to see It in as a trend in today's society". My interviewee brought me to the attention that although we may be seeing it as a trend to date, and have relationships with homogamy characteristics it is not always like that. She stated that her and her husband's relationship only share the idea that they are both of the same race however she stated that her husband only had a sixth grade education where she graduated high school. My interviewee stated that in society she doesn't see homogamy patterned in relationships that the idea of biracial couples and have friendships with people of different race as well as educational standing and economic backgrounds are becoming more evident to her as well in society.
