Hey Guyz
i rly wanna know about this experience from ppl who are married to ppl from different nationalities
sometimes i think it could be hard becoz of the difference of language and culture and traditions .i think the communication won't be that easy .i know it depends on the ppl involved but still there could be many misunderstandings due to the different lifestyle or what do u think?

how can u handle all that and what difficulties u find when communicating with ur partner?

i have got the point here and let us agree about that the  misunderstanding in relations is already exist generlay .

so the point or your question is misunderstanding that can exist between a couple with different cultures and nationalities.

and to be more specific , as an example ,assuming the relations between the arabian and the european life style , this because thats common , and really carries a lot of contardiction

and in my answer , language doesn't represent any problems , because as you reach a step with someone in which you decide to be in relation , so the communicating is already exist and the misunderstanding because of the language will not take a place through this relation.

another matter may appear which is (the way of expression) , and i dont mean by language or orally , but through the behaviour , and with my example, most of  arabian judges emotions , appreciating , respecting.. through a different way which is being showy with behaviour , words , respecting

and i admit some men can't recognize the shape of the relation and how they get loved just because the non-arabian style kinda practical as this go through the relation step by step , but the arabian mentality just in rush .

and this may lead to the misunderstanding although everything is ok , the step by step way , and the rush way ..this contradiction doesnt make the couple on the same track .

at last i think about the social life for each one , and i assume you know this point , and i know how most of females respect what there men want when dealing with the other gender.

and to handle - just search for the common zone in both cultures and there is a lot , and try to keep in it to build up a more connection , of course it depends on what you can go for , second show the other your duties towards his culture and how you respect it , with an exception for  never pushing yourself towards what make you exhausted , and in opposite you have to ask the respect for what can fit him about your life style and traditions .

i think this common area will make a big step towards understanding each other , and remeber its all about the begning.

Thank 4 ur reply and yeah part of the relationships is compromising and finding a common ground but i guess it takes more effort and communication when someone is totally different than u and as u said even the way of love could differ and also the expectations from ur partner as everyone has his culture as reference and it's rly deeply rooted inside everyone i guess but all it takes to get over that is communication and compromise which could lead to clash of views or maybe not,it depends on how much the person is tolerant and open-minded to accept these differences

so you already mentioned it , and that was for the 2nd time , you also mentioned this signficant point in your main post , and i will add to you ,
relationship between different nationalities carry more sacrifice than the ususal one ... which leads to a kind of selectivity
