Korean people thought I knew a lot about their culture (even too much!) but my personal feeling was that I was puzzled about them -- and therefore chose not to marry into that culture.

This is an old subject, of course. The comments were interesting because my marriage is mixed with a Chinese from Hong Kong. Pure Han! We have been married over 39 years, mostly living in the US. I am an American. Yes, we have had troubles, but that is marriage as well. Troubles must be overcome and fought as a couple, not individuals.

Marriage, with cultural differences or from the same culture, are ALL difficult. Time and our global village will never change the difficulties resulting during marriages. However, the marriage is much more rewarding and stronger because of the differences each member brings to the marriage. It is not weaker because of those differences.
