Thanks Lorii, I’ve never really thought about this before. There are so many challenges to maintaining a relationship that *doesn’t* have the cross-cultural factor that it’s certainly valuable to consider and have patience for the differences that are inherent in different cultures. Great advice here, as always.
When I first think of cross cultural relationships, I tend to think in terms of skin color…not prejudice at all but just think of different cultures as having different physical appearances. But not true…I’m in a cross cultural replationship myself though both of us are caucasian. I’m American and he is South African and believe me, there are huge cultrual differences. And thus challenges! Great video!
Interesting points, Lorii. There is so much more we need to think about when we begin extending our relationships to other cultures, whether it is a romantic relationship, a friendship or a business relationship. Learning to understand and respect the cultural traditions and practices of other people could go a long way toward making life better for everyone.
Always great tips and advice! Happy New Year!
Thanks Lorii. Great advice as we go into this new year. Thanks!
Great tips Lorii. Does take patience and understanding to have a relationship with people from other cultures.
Hi Lorii:
So refreshing to see a video post. Thanks for sharing the important factors in a successful relationship.
We always need to be true to ourselves. Great video, Lorii!
Thanks for your perspective Lorii. Cultural differences can make relationships very interesting. I agree, understanding cultural differences , compromising, and being interested will be factors in determining the success of the relationships. Have a fantastic 2013.
Great video, Lorii! Cross cultural relationships can be a challenge but as you explain, with patience and openness, it can work. Love conquers all! Happy New Year! Maybe this year I’ll also find my true love.
Hi Lorii, the traits ( patience, openness and being interesting) to name a few that you mention in the video can and need to be used for any relationship not just cross cultural relationship. Great article!
