Interesting question.
In my opinion you could come across a lot of difficulties in the future, generally it depends on your background.. or if you were raised in another country that is not your roots. For eg if an american or british or French may not have as many traditions as a meditereanean or european person IE Romanian\Italian\Greeks have a lot of similar traditions to Lebanese I guess. Despite these examples, any relationship can have difficulties, it is down to how strong the relationship is. If someone is religeous this also can affect the relationship there are a lot of aspects to consider but if you are considering this and you dont find anything missing and you both embrace your cultures and make the effort to understand them then you have a good chance. It highly depends how far away from your own culture this person is.. I mean in some cases there would be no chance of a long lasting relationship because of differences you can never solve. I mean some lifestyles are sooo different from others so I would think really hard. Relationships are hard enough nowadays without having more things to fight about other than the usual stuff couples do
SO in conclusion if you were asking me personally if i'd marry someone from a different culture it would be a no. Life has too many complications in the arab world without adding more (I was born in UK) and I have enough different beliefs to arabs but I simply can't live without the arab warmth and lebanese humor or lifestyle. In all european and american or french, they dont really have the zing in socializing or the elegance of partying, not to mention hottness and handsomeness lol

I dont really see a problem with that if they love each other
and got everything in their life organized like many
other married couple!!
But i do see the problem when they have their own children,
the husband wants his kids to follow his religion,and same
goes to the wife,and whose stuck in the middle, the children!!
But not all married couple think like that,im just saying some!
Sometimes i dont agree with ppl to marry different nationalities cuz,some cannot relate to their cultures and Traditions and other things meaning "3adadt wa ta2aleed"
I read once an American guy fell in love with a Chinese girl,they loved eachothers madly,and soon as they got married,he saw how different her life is then his,he saw every month they have this tradition thing he didnt even know about and all that!
Oh and they didnt last long together!!

Well..........I had the example in my own home.. my father and my mother were from absolutelly different countries....one in each corner of the world, and I havent seen in all my life a couple with more love and respect for each other than that, till the day that one of them left us for ever.
Their uses were totally different, but they learn together to accept the best of each, and raised their children inside that.
I think that everything has to be based first in a huge and true love......and 2nd, in the respect of the uses or religion of each other.
I have to recognize, that they had a great advantage, and was to share the same religion

Yes, my parents are a mixture of different cultures and nationalities but same religion.
I am not sure about religion but i am with if they are from different countries and cultures it would be ok.
I have seen here in Lebanon many sucessful marriage from different religion and if you come to really think of it, it's not about religion, nationalities or culture it is about if both people really LOVE each other and UNDERSTAND each other.

Why not? If the people love each other and the in-laws are not a problem, I can't see what the problem would be.
