Most of my foreign friends with divorced experiences in America agreed that relationships are better with any other foreigner,and not necessarily of their own background regardless of difficulties.
What is wrong,or why becomes so fatal the american adventure even among american couples?

I believe there are a few contributing factors to this. In most cultures, divorce is not an option, even if it's legal. The only exclusions are when the woman commits adultery. Therefore, foreigners are inherently very committed. If divorce is not an option for one of the people in a relationship then you take the chance of it happening and reduce it by half. Another major factor is that when a couple has to overcome racial differences and public acceptance from family, friends and strangers; it forces them to overcome a huge obstacle together. Most people go into an interracial relationship knowing that they have alot to overcome in that department and strive to not let it get in the way. By joining in the battle, it strengthens the relationship and gets both parties on the same page. This generation of Americans as a whole don't know what it's like to fight for something. We are very spoiled and selfish which is not good for relationships. Hope this help and is slightly enlightening.

It doesn't matter where you're from or with whom you're in a relationship with. It's all about the individuals in the relationship and how badly that want it to work. Most couples give up to easy now days, that's why there are so many divorces and break-ups. It's better to be friends with someone for a period of time and not rush into anything. The person you think you love today may be your worst enemy a year from now. Find out about a person, date, enjoy yourself with one another, be best friends, communicate and laugh together and take one day at a time. If you still enjoy one another's company 2-3 years later, then take your relationship serious and move forward with what you've learned from one another. A majority of people get married within 1 year after that start dating and those are the one's that usually ended up divorced. So what's the rush? Love one another one day at a time and just enjoy life together.

huh? Are you trying to say that everybody in the world - except Americans - have good, committed relationships? What did you base your survey on, the three people you know?
