Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 32.
Traditions, sayings, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our
culture. Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and
ideals. Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives,
children and parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important.
Culture affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and the number
of children a couple has, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and
the way parents raise children. By understanding how relationships and marriages vary across
cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we can identify the unique ways that marriages and
family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we can help families and sustain happy
marriages.
A cross-cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The
cultural background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to
speak it, the different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures
have, are all very exciting indeed. What of the disadvantages of a cross-cultural marriage or love
relationship with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much
you love your husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross-cultural awareness, cross-
cultural communication and respect for differences, misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable.
