A really nice article.


Cross-cultural relationships are very rewarding and fulfilling, however challenging they are.


However, in melting pots like America and other multi-cultural countries, many of the barriers are actually self-imposed by the racial/national communities and one should remember that their disapproval or approval does not gurantee or dictate your happiness together.


Ultimately it is all about compromise, understanding and a bit of sacrifice.

And maybe a lot of mistakes & trial-by-error learning. Like when I mentioned to a friend possibly having a woman from another culture meet me out somewhere. He told me that wouldn't happen. The 'old school' culture she and her family are part of consider that a woman needs to be picked up at her house. Meeting a woman out is such a common thing to do with most women I've usually dated I hadn't even considered that not being appropriate.

sigh. lots of compromise. But, naturally some people are more inclined to compromise more than others...no matter where they are from.
