Males and females all live on the same planet, and interact with each other on a daily basis, despite what has been written about them being from different planets and having their own cultures. It’s good to recognize communication differences between males and females, but we have to not stereotype and assume that males all communicate in the same way and females all communicate the same way. Too often men and women see the differences between each other and make it a big issue, rather than trying to benefit from those differences.
Can cross cultural marriage work? In my opinion, yes, cross cultural marriage can work. When man and woman of two cultural backgrounds join in marriage, the relationship can be enriched. However, obstacles first need to be identified and addressed. It depends on what he/she expects when marrying someone from another culture, and whether that one can give him/her what he/she expects. It's important to have an awareness of cross-cultural differences, perspectives and issues.
Life is not complicated, but not easy, too.

I like the graphic that you chose for this topic! Men and Women are very much like yin and yang - each gives balance and perspective to the other.

Hi Nadeen
I agree 100% with you. Usually, I make these differences big issues. But after the video that we watched on the class, I try to benefit from these differences rather than make it a problem.
