Perhaps an opinion from a black woman who has had this experience is needed here.

First, race DOES matter, anyone who thinks it doesn't isn't seeing the world clearly.

Second, you might be totally in love with each other and that's great. The problems come in not with each other but with society (and sometimes friends and family) not accepting it. This can put a strain on the relationship. It's possible that the strain can tear you apart in the end. The world can be cold and people can be cruel. The real question is "Can they handle it"? It takes two incredibly emotionally stable people who are totally committed to each other to navigate through the added pressure that racists can put on you.
