Cultural Identity in Mixed Relationships

[Urvashi]

Dating across cultures can be beautiful and challenging. Have you been in a relationship where different backgrounds caused misunderstandings, or taught you something new about empathy and respect?

My cousin has married a Japanese. They have been married for over 15 years and when ever we meet I ask him his about how he gets along with someone from different culture so nicely. He says if you are willing to appreciate and adapt to each other cultures, you will be fine.

I haven’t been in such a relationship myself, but I can see how cultural differences could lead to both misunderstandings and growth. Dating across cultures probably teaches patience, empathy, and open-mindedness, it pushes you to see beyond habits or norms and appreciate another person’s worldview more deeply.
