Intercultural Marriage

This comprehensive work is for couples either already in or contemplating an intercultural marriage. The author examines the impact of cultural differences on marriage and offers practical guidelines for dealing with the complexities involved. The book suggests that the joys of an intercultural marriage often result as much from overcoming the obstacles as from the adventure of crossing cultures. Dugan Romano looks at all aspects of intercultural relationships, from the impact that differing male-female roles may have to the problems that illness may cause, to the phases of adjustment that couples have to make and the experience of rising children. "One of the biggest positives of these marriages," she says, "is the opportunity they provide for personal growth".
