My husbands Chinese. We had a few rough patches, but we've got through them okay. The trick is to talk to each other, don't be afraid to have arguments but make sure your fare, don't start calling each other names, throwing thing or shouting at one another. We have a rule by with we don't drag things up from more the 3 months.
If you feel your about to really loss it with him (my husband has a way of winding me up to the point I feel I'm gonna strangle him) excuse yourself from the room and go for a walk until you feel calm.
Make sure you listen to what your saying to eachother (not what you think they are say).
Good luck

My husband is English and I'm Chinese. We're from totally different cultures and even after 10 years of marriage, we have issues to deal with. It takes much understanding and a give and take attitude. In the end the joining of two cultures is more enriching. Just stay true to each other and with children in the future, they may get teased in school but as parents we teach them to be strong and ignore the bullies as bullies tend to be weak in personality and needs attention. God bless.

Some cultures,women are subservient to men,strong in the home,but must obey the husband.hard for a westerner to understand.
