Read the following passage and choose correct answers below.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They
find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage
we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with
the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the
case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much
more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an
opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can
be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand
your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly
you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with.
Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your
house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your
feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never
even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same
situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She
has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At
least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives in completely
strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her

questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet
will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to
the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you
better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

A. Spouses who have the same nationality need more patience and understanding in their marriage
than those who are from different cultures.

marriage than those who have the same roots.
