Are cross-cultural marriages more challenging than spouses of similiar cultural upbringings?

Question

I apologize for the poor grammatical construction.

Answer 1

I reckon there are a few more challenges, but if the love is genuine then they can get past anything.

Answer 2

I really don't think so my family is culturally mixed with many different nationalities and everyone has gotten along great when were able to have our family reunions as were spaced all across the country I find it great everytime I visit it is like going to the far east or the over the pond and even to south¢ral america yet we all live in our big old U.S.A but they have taken on their mates cotumes and it is fantastic to learn about all these places I have yet to go to.

Answer 3

Obviously, I mean obviously, cross-cultural marriages are going to be more challenging than marrying within your own culture. There are a number of areas that immediately spring to mind: traditional family obligations, language, customary roles of men and women, etc.

Answer 4

Definitely Yes.
In many cases people with the same cultural, ethnical, and educational background do not understand each other. What would you expect if the differences between them more dramatic? I am not saying, it is impossible. It just requires more love, more patience, and more understanding.

Answer 5

I think it depends on the situation. My husband is Latino and I am Caucasian. And we have never had any problems. But I have a Caucasian friend who married a man from India, and they have had quite a few problems.

Answer 6

it a way to show to others that culture is not a barrier for love!

Answer 7

no if both are matured enough to academically reason out the problems that arise therefrom and solutions thereof...

Answer 8

Nope...

Answer 9

I would not think so.
