what do you think about marriage from different cultures and countries?

Since I am not in that situation it doesn't matter what I think.

However, some things might need consideration if someone is planning to marry outside their country or culture.

Mail Order Bride - way too many problems to have a good relationship/marriage. Oh, I'm sure there are a few who work out just fine but as a whole there are just way too many horror stories to wisely consider such a desperate move.

Displaced Military - Marrying a military member from a different country could have its own set of unique problems. Mainly, the displaced spouse missing family members or 'trouble at home' situations.

University Students - When at Uni different people from different cultures and countries are thrust together in a limited society. Most are young and not world wise. Someone from another culture or country can 'look' exciting and new. Problem is, young people tend to gloss over dirty details in favor of popularity. What seems like a great idea at the time might get very ugly as the marriage ages and those dirty details start to focus.

Displaced Employees - pretty much everything I've already mentioned plus the fact corporations and companies can fire anyone. If their job is no longer there (for any reason) they will probably want to go home (back to their families). Are you prepared to sacrifice your own lifestyle with no assurance you will ever see your family or friends again?

Vacation/Holiday - relationships during holiday usually have no time to develop long enough to determine if marriage is an option. They are temporary and you don't get a complete picture of the person.

There are exceptions, certainly. But are you willing to be your life that you are the exception?
Ask a lot of questions.
Research all you can.
Talk to their friends and family.
Talk to their neighbors if possible.
Look at security markers.

If everything you find is positive be suspicious.
Everybody makes mistakes, its how you learn.

Most of all... Make Wise Choices!

being as I live in the USA, you can damn sure bet I'm 100% in favor of marrying outside my country! SE Asia in particular.

Nope, not even someone from a different culture who's already in my country and/or grew up here.
Cultural differences don't vanish within 1 generation, it takes several, so I'm not going there.

That includes other Caucasian cultures even though then the differences are way more subtle. They're still there though.
Once bitten, twice shy.

I think it's fun to learn about the differences of other cultures because you will know how to respect and be aware that all things matter.

In marriage, I don't know. I'm not married yet and still in college but I'm looking forward to having a serious relationship in a different country. I would be glad to know more and learn their beliefs and share mine.

I've dated women from many countries and cultures. I haven't encountered any serious incompatibilities, and many of the differences are refreshing and interesting. About the only thing I consider as a potential deal-breaker are significant difference in religious belief or dogma.

I think marriage is all about love , respect , understanding , care and trusting each other.

If these exist or grow in two people, distances doesn't matter.

Marriage is a big step in life, and the two people need to know each other very well in my opinion. I read that most successful marriages are between two people whom were first very good fiends, and in a long courtship, this would be difficult if you both don't live in the same country. In the long term which country would you both live in, what faith would your children be brought up in, and many more questions you need to ask yourself before starting a romantic relationship with someone from outside your own country.

It's a good idea for guys. It will be easier to find a traditional woman. The passport bro phenomenon seems to reaping rewards. Haven't seen any follow ups though, but it's a good idea in theory.

I personally won't do it because I feel the passport bro philosophy SHOULD require the guy to stay in the same country that he found his girl. If he took her to the west, she would be tainted by western women philosophy. I'm stuck with finding the unicorn because I love where I live!! laugh

I come from a multicultural country, so I'm open to that. Different countries too. But, not all cultures and countries because I have my reasons.

I think it depends on how different the cultures are. I've been living internationally for the past ten years, and I've met a lot of intercultural couples. Most seem to be doing fine. The ones I knew who seemed to be most challenged were western women who married Muslim men. I refused to date at all in any of the countries I lived in because I was always suspicious they wanted me for my passport. 90-Day Fiance struck fear into my heart. laugh
