Two different people with different family background as well as different cultures.. Can they meet halfway for both to live a happy life despite the differences in their cultures? What's your point on this? Can love really bridge the gap for both people in a relationship?

opposite attracts remember. :)) i've read a story ones about a couple with different culture. although it is hard for both people to live together and have different beliefs, tradition and values. they will learn alot with each other. one may have a weakness that his/her partner can fill up and vice versa. love does conquer all! but it is all up to the couple if they'll accept each others difference.. :)) ACCEPTANCE AND UNDERSTANDING is the key.. and A LOT OF SACRIFICE.. :)

What you're saying is really true.. A lot of sacrifice is needed for the relationship to work, both parties should give in to each other's needs as well as understand each other's differences.. What I really think is that when the couple is just willing to accept each other no matter what, in the end they'll be happy.. Thanks sis! :)

I'm living true that this can happen.I first met my husband when I was 16 and he was 21.I'm from Greece and he is From Egypt.Two different countries with different cultures.He was here for holidays.He went back to finish him study (lawyer)and after he came to live here.As you understand because of the different language he can't be lawyer here.Now he was him own job,we are married (I'm 37 years now)and we have a son.Also we have different religions too.Each one keep him religion and none from us has problem.I love him family and I travel every year to see them.So as you see..............

If the Love is strong enough and is true Love then culture will not matter. Family will cause more problem than culture differences. If family memeber would accept the ones chosen then the Love of two different peole would last forever!

That's what I thought of also.. :) If love is just strong enough then it would keep them together.. Sometimes there are just families which are so much with this kind of stuff also but I do hope they understand what would be the risk in the end.. Thanks

"Love can overcome any obstacle" If two people love each other with all their beings they can overcome any differences. Sometimes in love the differences can become the strengths. Meaning, because we are different we know different things and have different points of view. and thus the relationship will be more open to new things

It really does especially when the two of you worked really hard to surpass it. You're right, both may be open to different ideas as long as they think of it in a positive way.. Something that could help them.. :) Thanks..

When it's about love anything can happen. When two people love each other nothing can break it,you can break the relationship but not the love. There's people who are from different cultures that love each other,but because of culture they cant be with each other. I think two person from different culture can be with each other,as long the family accepts it.

Hi.. :) yeah, love is something strong that even one can't control it.. Actually, it's really hard when family gets in the way in your relationship, you have to point things out to them that they should be open to such commitment cause our generation now is really advance.. Thanks..

Love conquers all. Two people who truly love each other can live a happy life despite the many differences. Happiness and lasting relationship don't come from being similar in age,culture,race,religion,family background,interest. Even someone who is the complete opposite of the other can still love each other and live happily. It is just a matter of respecting each other's differences. They say,opposite attracts,man and woman,to begin with. A clear picture of being different,yet called to love and be loved.

You're right, even when a couple is totally opposite from each other they can still love each other.. I think that's two main things a relationship to work out needed, understanding and respect. A great example by the way, fight perfectly.. :) Thanks

Why not??? If love is pure.. Nearly nothing would hinder it... Evidence to this are the many cases where two people of different races meet and fall in love... People are made to adjust anyway.. I guess their determination to work things out would spell out what they'd be in the near future.. B-)

Thanks for sharing your idea.. yeah, I guess it would also depend on the determination of both parties to work things out despite anything.. I mean, it would be in them who they will trust to believe..
