I have always wondered how hard it is settling down with someone from a different culture.
With each partner having his/her own culture, religion, beliefs and spoken language.
I think it would be interesting because it would feel like there is always something new to learn about each other.
You can learn new language, learn about culture and try out different food.
It might be interesting for kids to learn the beauty of both culture but then same as my case it hard to find that sense of belongingness because it makes me feel like i don't belong to either culture as I was born with half of each.

it's difficult ... having different culture, especially if one has difficulty understanding and not open enough to adapt to one's culture. Better don't get married. (my personal opinion)

I think that it must be very difficult. Even when you marry within your culture there are so many difficult things to overcome that I imagine that when there are extra problems it is much worse.

It's something that is very common in this country but I never really have any idea how it is for them.

It is extremely difficult, but it is not impossible, my ex-husband and I separated by culture precisely, since I am Latin and he is Iranian, so he wanted to impose his cultures on me but I did not want, we were also here in Venezuela and I did not have because to follow a culture that was not mine if we were in Latin America, and although we had a son, he told me that he would go to his country to not return and so it was

this is my opinion: it is very hard for one to adjust because he has married someone whose culture is quite different from his.
even they way they have been brough up may cause problems on their marriage, how.much more having a different culture?
i married.someone in my faith, who.lives in my hometown as well. now, we are happily married.
