Download or read book Cross-Cultural Marriage written by Rosemary Breger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As societies world-wide become increasingly multicultural, so the issues of identity, belonging, tolerance and racism become imperative to understand in their various forms. This book adds to the discussion by examining the interface between the lived, personal experiences of people in cross-cultural marriages and wider socio-political issues. One major contribution this book offers is that the marriages discussed are from a very broad range of cultures and classes. Amongst other issues, contributors examine: the legal and social factors influencing cross-cultural marriages; the personality factors and positive or negative stereotypes of otherness that influence spouse choice; notions of identity, gender and personhood, and definitions of difference, and how these are often tied up in emotive stereotypes; how all these factors affect the ongoing process of living together and the ability to cope; and how the children of such marriages come to terms with identity choices. This book should be highly relevant to the growing number of people in cross-cultural marriages, as well as to professionals in the fields of marriage guidance, child welfare and academics interested in ethnicity and kinship.

Book excerpt: In love but worlds apart is a self-help book for a man and woman who come from two very different cultural backgrounds and who are considering a life commitment to each other. It shows how and when their differences can be problematic, but also how such a relationship could succeed. This book enables partners to think and talk about their cultural differences (such as in manners, values, worldview, holidays and other customs), and to develop traditions and activities they can enjoy together. Questions to think and talk about, which are cited throughout the book, are again listed in the back for copying and giving to the partner to use. A list of possible priorities of choice is also provided to help partners decide whether or not their relationship could work long-term. For couples who have already begun or decided on an intercultural marriage, reading and doing this book may lessen their shock and frustrations and lead them into a more positive experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is a sacred institution designed by God to bring joy, happiness, hope and fellowship with God. However, some people become frustrated and look to a perfect happy marriage only to find darkness and gloom, broken dreams, broken promises, broken marriage and dashed hope. In this life the fulfilment of a happy marriage is never certain because the human race is not perfect. But one day our deepest desires and longing for the perfect fulfilment in a happy marriage will be realised if we live the marriage life by Biblical Principles.

Download or read book Going Together written by Peter Renew and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going Together is not just another book on how to have a better marriage, how to be romantic, being better between the sheets, or even how to resolve arguments and differences. There are many other books which adequately cover such topics. Going Together is different; very different. It is an exploration of Christian marriage specifically in the context of international, cross-cultural and interfaith living. It is essential reading for all couples who live outside their comfort-zone, but particularly for Christians living far from their home-place of upbringing. Going Together offers couples opportunities for looking inside their relationship, to make it better and more vibrant. Surviving: yet also subject to the complexities of international living, cross-cultural and interfaith issues. Peter writes... I am not certain exactly when I first noticed that expatriate living is corrosive to marriages. The fact that a number of couples around us were crumbling under the strain certainly brought matters to my attention. But our own experiences helped us see that marital stress and strain is possible in almost any area that you would not have imagined. Why was that, when we are such a close couple? I asked around and found that others had seen the same problem in their own lives: and so was born the idea for this book. Throughout my travels in Christian mission, I took notes to remember things about couples I met and I was amazed at the material emerging. I later wrote to 50 Christian married couples (with whom we had worked); each had substantial cross cultural experience and, as I had promised anonymity, many replied with their own stories. These have been woven together in one book with each story's owner, location, names and sometimes circumstances changed, to be unrecognisable. Yet the essence of the stories and lessons learned have survived. If you want your marriage to also survive, don't underestimate the damage that can be caused by cross-cultural, international or inter-faith living. Take it seriously; being forewarned is forearmed and there is still time to take action! Whether that is do-able in body or spirit will be for you to discern from this very practical Christian perspective of the world and marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the US becomes more diverse, cross-cultural ministry is increasingly important for nearly all pastors and church leaders. Of particular concern is the issue of leadership--a difficult task made even more challenging in multicultural settings. Sherwood Lingenfelter helps the reader understand his or her own leadership culture (and its blind spots), examine it critically in light of Scripture, and become an effective learner of other cultural perspectives on leadership. He also confronts the issues of power inherent in any leadership situation. Lingenfelter carefully defines cross-cultural leadership and unpacks that definition throughout the book, with an emphasis on building communities of vision, trust, and empowerment through leadership based on biblical principles. In the end, he argues that leaders must inhabit the gospel story to be effective cross-culturally.

Download or read book Marriage, a History written by Stephanie Coontz and published by Viking Adult. This book was released on 2005 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just when the clamor over "traditional" marriage couldn't get any louder, along comes this groundbreaking book to ask, "What tradition?" In Marriage, a History, historian and marriage expert Stephanie Coontz takes readers from the marital intrigues of ancient Babylon to the torments of Victorian lovers to demonstrate how recent the idea of marrying for love is - and how absurd it would have seemed to most of our ancestors. It was when marriage moved into the emotional sphere in the nineteenth century, she argues, that it suffered as an institution just as it began to thrive as a personal relationship. This enlightening and hugely entertaining book brings intelligence, perspective, and wit to today's marital debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating cultural history of interracial marriage and its legal regulation in the United States, Fay Botham argues that religion--specifically, Protestant and Catholic beliefs about marriage and race--had a significant effect on legal decisions concerning miscegenation and marriage in the century following the Civil War. She contends that the white southern Protestant notion that God "dispersed" the races and the American Catholic emphasis on human unity and common origins point to ways that religion influenced the course of litigation and illuminate the religious bases for Christian racist and antiracist movements.
