Do you like distinction? Along with the development of social relationships, I see a lot couples who are different in nations and countries. Couple who is different in tribes have become so common, but couple who is different in nation is somewhat challenging for me. The relationship of couple who is differed by countries or nation such a fun and enjoyable. What do you think about those couples ?

Actually it's been the standard for years here in the USA. Since everyone here is the descendant of an immigrant (unless the person is an American Indian), we have quite a few relationships that are between people of all different backgrounds, nations included. People still arrive here from different countries for educational and employment purposes, and are exposed to others of differing cultural backgrounds. Some of these people form personal relationships with each other. There are of course challenges, but these happen in any relationship; even folks born in the USA can have differences in religious beliefs and such. Those of course need to be addressed, and it has to be determined if those differences constitute a significant barrier to developing a serious relationship. In the end it's all about what the individuals involved like. It can be as complicated or as simple as a person wishes to make the situation. It's kind of like disputing the merits of a Corvette and a Cadillac; they are built with different markets in mind, but they can coexist in the same garage, and both are designed basically to get you from point A to point B.

I do not see those you've mentioned in my country. Couples' relationship between countries are still small in quantity than in your country. Couple relationship between countries are common in our country but there is still a bit problem which is not a problem became a big problem as such citizenship. Many couples have separated because of citizenship, deportation is not uncommon. Each country should create a global standard for lovers of different country. And, the problem is the issue which most occurs in every couple of lovers and become a challenge.

Yeah, may be you may have a point. There can no be global standard, but it seemed it is important to bring to the discussion or international forum which specifically to talk about human relationship. It is a nice topic, isn't it? Well, anyway have a nice day. Happy Mylotting.

In most countries that have not been affected much by immigration, I can understand how cultural barriers would still exist. I have read in some countries that certain activities can cause shame on the family. I think that global standard that you speak of is considered when there is political talk of basic human rights. It sounds like a great idea, but I would think agreeing on something like a global standard for couples would be difficult, especially when like you say deportation is considered. I guess in those cases, the couple would have to decide if their relationship is worth risking that potential outcome.

well, I don't really like those distinction.. I like to have friends from cross culture but for making serious relationship I will thinking twice..I knew some of my friends did it, and they said every moment is really adventeruos..Especially for their parents in law, who sometime unable to speak in their language, so many funny stories there..Even some only starring and say nothing to them, their body language proven that they are dislike but they can not say anything..

I never occurred to establish a relationship with different countries, but it seems not easy. I saw their relationship unique and diverse, even though we know they are not free from problem.

I personally think that they're great! I have cousins and relatives who married someone from a completely different background. yes it does pose a bit of a barrier for parent in laws to communicate but it's great to immerse yourself in another culture and bring two cultures together. I have cousins who are half Aussie half Vietnamese and our families get along pretty well. I would love my future husband to be of another culture, I reckon kids who are half or part another culture are pretty cool. In Australia, it's going to be quite tricky to find someone with the same background as you as Australia is a very multi cultural country. I reckon we should embrace multiculture Nothing get in the way of love.
