Nowadays, with the development of economy and science, people could communicate easilier than before, the world also become smaller. So the cross-culture marriage turns a new question to the younger.Some of us would like to take a try, but others may not. Holding a traditional opinion, there must be some difficulties in a cross-culture marriage.Primarily, two different countries both have their own cultures, which always lead to misunderstanding during the normal live. For example, the western country will educate the children in an “open” way which may take them to the adult’s world early, but in China, it’s incredible.Secondly, it can’t be ignored that our eating habits are so important. Food culture plays a big role in the culture of a country. It’s difficult to guess “What’s the weather like in your stomach today?” Even in the same country, people from different area will not choose the same thing. In a word, different countries have different tastes.What’s more, a cross-culture marriage has to face the public concern. In fact, a lot of people still can’t accept it, especially the old. The couples in a cross-culture marriage have to endure some strange talking, and their children also have to endure some pressure. If they can’t deal with them well, the y may break up in the end.Last but not the least, it takes a person a long time to join the life in a foreign country. It’s a world of totally strange even you’re the student abroad. The cross-culture marriage draws a wall between you and your family whic h means “hometown problems”. So we must take serious consideration ask ourselves if we have prepare to be in a cross-culture marriage when we have the chance to marry foreigners.。

跨国婚姻英语As the world becomes more globalized and people movemore freely around the globe, cross-cultural marriages have become increasingly common. Marrying someone from a different country and culture brings a host of challenges, including navigating differences in language, traditions, and customs. For those entering into cross-cultural marriages, developing proficiency in English is essential to ensuring effective communication and a mutual understanding of each other’s context and meaning.

For example, developing business English skills can be useful for navigating the complexities of work-related contexts,while medical English can be important for dealing withhealth issues.3. Understand Customs and TraditionsIn a cross-cultural marriage, understanding each other’scustoms and traditions is essential to building a strong, happy relationship. This can involve learning about holidays, religious practices, and cultural expectations. Through this process, spouses can also develop a deeper appreciation of each other's culture.4. Build a Support SystemFor international couples, building a strong support system can be helpful. This can include connecting with other cross-cultural couples or seeking out resources that can help build English proficiency, such as language schools or language exchange programs.5. Embrace the Benefits of Cross-cultural Marriages While cross-cultural marriages can pose challenges, they also offer unique benefits. These marriages can broaden our perspective on the world, deepen our appreciation of other cultures, and foster personal growth. Through embracing these unique opportunities cross-cultural marriages offer, we can improve the quality of our relationships and expand our horizons in numerous ways.In conclusion, cross-cultural marriages can present both challenges and opportunities. However, developing proficiency in English and gaining an understanding of each other's traditions and customs can help strengthen the bond between spouses and create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. Taking the time to develop these skills can open doors to new experiences and cultures, enriching our lives in ways we may not have even imagined.。
