Love Transcends Whatever Culture

In the world of changes, People are trying to change what is traditionally practiced. Some changes are interesting and some are not. One of these interesting changes is the intercultural marriages. Men from the east marrying women from the west or vise versa. Then people around the world have many questions about, how the two can get along well when they have different culture? Why is he or she marrying a foreigner? How did they meet? Even family and closest friends have the same questions.

Fact is, sometimes they don't ask such questions they have in mind to the couple, they just answer it themselves based on other couple's story. That somebody is just marrying for fortune or money. Will it be unfair for the couple? The answer is yes! I have answered many questions truthfully. I have been explaining until now that it is not impossible for people to get along well and be united as husband and wife. It is not impossible for two people to fall in love regardless of the cultural differences. Some were contented of my answers and some were skeptical. Well, taking care of this kind of relationship is not easy, it needs a lot of understanding and barrels of honest communication plus tons of submission, most of all, endless prayers.

My husband and I agree to be honest to each other, and if anything went wrong honest communication will clear the issue. Disagreement or opposite opinion may sometimes start the fight, words thrown were sharp and painful then we need a 5-15 minutes break for realization. Its not easy to put my pride away, I cried many times not because I was hurt physically but because I was afraid of the truth that sometimes it is really difficult to say sorry or if I want to hear sorry from him. But I faced it, then proposed the 'Let's talk' attitude.

After that, we were back of being sweet and loving again. You may laugh because of disbelief but it is true, I am marrying for Love and I stand the promise I made in God, in him and to the crowd who witnessed our wedding. Marriages has its own story, we are lucky enough that love was developed even before we get married and that we set up rules inside our relationship. I will be glad to share to you a little of it.

Open communication, whatever race you belong, it doesn't matter. When you are hurt let your partner know or ask him about his feelings at the moment. When you need to hear your partner's sorry then let him know. Don't close communication if the issue is not yet clear. In open communication, you can understand and be understood.

Tell the partner how you love him or her as often as you can and at night before you sleep then seal it with a sweet loving kiss. Never let your partner go anywhere without kissing and letting him know how much you love him or her. When a partner is traveling for work or going somewhere, write a note or card that he/she can read when you're far from each other. I always put mine in my husband's personal kit.

These are little things that help marriages stronger and sweeter but if in you relationship love is absent, then I am afraid you might can"t do it. Imperfections can be accepted, wrong can be corrected and lies can be forgiven. Remember the equation of marriage is always ( 1+1= 1) no matter what your culture is.
