Intercultural Relationship Issues
Not all cultural differences cause problems for intercultural couples. The unique mixture of personality, assumptions and beliefs, educational and social backgrounds could contribute to possible problem areas. In following we identify those cultural traits which can give rise to misunderstandings and, hence, potential relationship discord between couples from different cultural backgrounds. We choose a subset of issues that could become potential problems for intercultural relationships. The chosen intercultural relationship issues and their impact on relationships should be viewed as potential ones among a great number of other factors impacting cross-cultural marriages. The chosen issues for this discussion are:
• Male-female Roles
• Attitude to Money
• communication
Most of these areas can cause issues for all couples and not only for those in an intercultural relationship. However, we postulate that the differences in intercultural relationships could be more extreme and the causes of these issues harder to identify, which, in turn, makes it more difficult to resolve them.
Thanks in advance for your time.
