Do they last????

Bottom line on every relationship are the people involved. The geographical origin, ethnicity and all of the hullabaloos will not matter if both are willing to make it work.

some will, some will not. not unlike other marriages.

I am married to someone who was born and raised in another country.

Here is some food for thought....

Language proficiency - if you can't communicate, you can't have a relationship.

Cultural difference - won't probably matter much in bed and/or behind closed doors, but will around friends/family/public (Goes back to the first one... need to communicate).

Visas/relocation - immigration process sucks! You have no clue until you have to experience it (oh, and it's expensive).

Exciting and new - It wears off like any relationship (so it goes back to communication and the ability to communicate)

Is that broken English going to drive you crazy later? .... Are you going to question motive/intentions (only married for a green card)? Are you okay if the person has a different religion? Cultural beliefs etc....

OH and one more important thing.... are you willing to teach this person everything. What I mean, is you have had your whole life to learn about things and have had your parents/guardians teaching you things.... such as driving laws, how to get a driver's license, how to pay taxes and why, why certain things cost money or more, how to get a money order/write a check and mail a bill, how to address an envelope, etc...... You name it, you will be teaching it or forever doing it yourself.

Varies from couple to couple.

Every couple has their issues, its how they deal with them that counts.
