Cross-cultural romantic relationships refer to couples who do not share a common linguistic or cultural background.Besides that,it shows difference in term of nationality,ethnicity,belief and religion.
So,what is actually drive some couples to cross-cultural romantic relationships?Any comment?

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,couples who involve in cross-cultural realtionships share the common interest.Common interest brings them together eventhough two people are from different culture or ethnicity.For example,having the same hobby or point of view on certain things.Defferences are not the main reason to stop two person from sharing their joy or happiness,yet it may be the bridge which brings them together.Don't you think so?
In my opinion,factor that bring cross-cultural relationship is proximity..I mean we tend to like people we see frequently and mere exposure may play a role but we cant like someone if never interact with or see them.For example,in university we have many friend from other country or different ethnic but we are dear to each other.

ReplyDeletewell, for me, i think the main factor to build cross cultural relationship is by having a mutual respect and understanding among each other. As we know, this relationship is based on loved but each person of the couple is practicing a different culture, so if they have a respect among each other, a cross cultural relationship wouldn't be a problem, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteI do agree with Nadia's opinion whereby mutual respect is one of the important element in cross-cultural relationships. Couple need to respect each other, for couples who have different background of culture need much more understanding,respect and consideration too.I strongly believe that cross-cultural relationships can be sustain in this way.

hye guys,in my opinion,cross-cultural relationship is a very interesting topic..i think the main factor that bring to the cross-cultural relationship is 'LOVE'.As example,if they fall in love with someone,they willing to continue the relationship even they know they have the different cultural and ethnics.This is all because " THE POWER OF LOVE ".Right??..believe it or not...couples nowadays are not really choosing about cultural and ethnics,but what is important is LOVE...!!!!!huhu...any comment??

hehehehehe..aryma,i agree with u my dear!!like i said in my previous post,love is blind.I am sure that if we are in their situation(this kind of relationship),we never thought about the consequenses and obstacles that we may face in future.as long as we love each other.thats enough. :)

ReplyDeleteWell,no doubt that love made things become posible.Couples willing to sacrifce or tolerant wit each other because they love their partner.
However, in cross-cultural romantic relationships,couples need more than that right?
Personally,i think that another factor which drive some people involve in this kind of relationship is curiousity.Perhaps every individual's needs and requirements different. Some people might expect something from certain people in cross-cultural romantic relationships.They are interested in discover culture from another country of their partner.For example,some woen might think that men from western country much more caring compared to Asian.That is another factor which brings cross-cultural romantic relationships=)

ReplyDeleteOlla... =) i do agree with amira.. Love is blind.. huhu.. But for me, love is not enough.. As we can see now, beside love, the couples are needed to accept each other either good side or bad side of their couple.. With this, the relationship between them will be more beautiful even they comes from difference ethnic or country..(^^,)

ReplyDeletewell, i do agree with all of you because you have a really good point.. :)
so we can say that to build a cross cultural relationship, the couple need to have a feeling of love toward each other. They also need to have a respect and learn how to faced the different among themselves. And for sure, the cross cultural relationship will be something that is very intersting and fun!
I think this topic is very interesting .. emm .. if you can indeed enjoy communicating and have strong relationships with their different race because we can learn something new in life .. but to maintain a relationship such as this requires understanding and patience because it does not all things we can get ..
ReplyDeleteafiqah..
ReplyDeletei do agree with emy that to maintain this relationship patience and understanding are needed. It is because, when someone involve in this kind of relationship, because this relationship are not fully accepted by everyone. So, the couples should be more realistic and be strong enaough to face any obstacles in their relatinship.. (^^,)

ReplyDeletein addition, as new media such as internet incorporated in individual culture and lifestyle, people tend to link or connected to each other beyond traditional boundaries.hence, this is actually giving chance to people from different world of culture and norm to develop cross-cultural relationships.
