Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture.
Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals.
Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and
parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture
affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a
couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents
raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and
how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and family life
affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain happy
marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the
different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are. all
very exciting indeed. What of the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship
with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your
husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural
communication and respect for differences. Misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable.
