Bicultural relationships, cross cultural relationships, intercultural relationships, interracial relationships, whatever you want to call them, can be tough!
Romantic relationships are an essential part of human experience. As the world becomes more integrated, people from different cultural backgrounds and traditions unavoidably meet and fall in love. An understanding of the role that culture plays in how we fall in love and stay in love is not only relevant, but also necessary in promoting healthy development of romantic relationships. Cross-cultural romantic relationships refer to romantic relationships across national boundaries, such as romantic relationships in China and the United States.
To make it harder, there are also their expectations, like for instance, whether both of you plan to get married or not, and if so, in which country? How many children will you have? Will you live abroad? What side of the family will you live closest to? How will you access visas?
The thing with multicultural couples is that you need to be twice as conscious about the things you do and say in your relationship. You need to be twice as curious about their background, twice as explicit in communication, twice as careful about checking on each other's expectations... the list goes on.
We couldn't possibly tackle the complexity of cross-cultural relationships in just one video but we hope to start the conversation at least.
Are you in an intercultural marriage or relationship? What would your advice be to others in the same situation?
By the way, I would highly recommend checking out the Youtube Channel Dating Beyond Borders, very funny:
