Download or read book Intercultural Marriage written by Dugan Romano and published by Nicholas Brealey. This book was released on 2008-08-18 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful look at the stresses and challenges of intercultural relationships - from one who has been there. Today we live in a world without borders, a global village. Distance no longer defines who we meet, fall in love with or marry. The Internet and e-mail connect people around the world in seconds. Immigration, study abroad, travel and multinational business have created a thriving cross-cultural community. But the experiences shared across cultures and countries do not always bridge the fundamental differences in beliefs and behaviors that span diverse cultures. In Intercultural Marriage, Dugan Romano delivers a "reality check" for anyone already in, or contemplating, an intercultural marriage. This insightful book interweaves lessons learned from others and suggests that the joys of an intercultural marriage often result from turning the challenges of crossing cultures into an opportunity for a fulfilling and lasting relationship. Now in its third edition, Intercultural Marriage examines the impact of cultural differences in marriage and offers practical guidelines on how to deal with the complexities they bring to a partnership. Covering such topics as raising bicultural children, religion, values, male vs. female roles, sex and social class, Romano continues to give voice to hundreds of couples she has interviewed and followed for over a decade.

Download or read book Going Together written by Peter Renew and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going Together is not just another book on how to have a better marriage, how to be romantic, being better between the sheets, or even how to resolve arguments and differences. There are many other books which adequately cover such topics. Going Together is different; very different. It is an exploration of Christian marriage specifically in the context of international, cross-cultural and interfaith living. It is essential reading for all couples who live outside their comfort-zone, but particularly for Christians living far from their home-place of upbringing. Going Together offers couples opportunities for looking inside their relationship, to make it better and more vibrant. Surviving: yet also subject to the complexities of international living, cross-cultural and interfaith issues. Peter writes... I am not certain exactly when I first noticed that expatriate living is corrosive to marriages. The fact that a number of couples around us were crumbling under the strain certainly brought matters to my attention. But our own experiences helped us see that marital stress and strain is possible in almost any area that you would not have imagined. Why was that, when we are such a close couple? I asked around and found that others had seen the same problem in their own lives: and so was born the idea for this book. Throughout my travels in Christian mission, I took notes to remember things about couples I met and I was amazed at the material emerging. I later wrote to 50 Christian married couples (with whom we had worked); each had substantial cross cultural experience and, as I had promised anonymity, many replied with their own stories. These have been woven together in one book with each story's owner, location, names and sometimes circumstances changed, to be unrecognisable. Yet the essence of the stories and lessons learned have survived. If you want your marriage to also survive, don't underestimate the damage that can be caused by cross-cultural, international or inter-faith living. Take it seriously; being forewarned is forearmed and there is still time to take action! Whether that is do-able in body or spirit will be for you to discern from this very practical Christian perspective of the world and marriage.
