DTC50 As societies worldwide become increasingly multicultural, the issues of identity, belonging, tolerance and race are becoming more and more important to come to terms with. And when people of two cultural backgrounds join in marriage, the relationship can be enriched. But obstacles first need to be identified and addressed.

Can cross cultural marriage work? Well, yes, of course, cross cultural marriage can work, but there are both advantages and disadvantages to think about. It all depends on what you expect when marrying someone from another country, and whether that someone can give you what you expect — and whether you can meet their expectations, too, of course. It’s important to have an awareness of cross-cultural differences, perspectives and issues.

    US President Elect, Mr. Barack Obama, is a successful product of a cross-cultural intimate relationship. Cross-cultural relationships are complex and challenging. I talk about these issues in my book, which is available in Australian bookstores and from its publisher (www.zeus-publications.com). You can preview this book when you visit its website and click on “New and Recent Releases” Cross-Cultural Liaison: An Inconvenient Love? by Dr. R. Berthier.
